Father and Daughter Sue Pauly Shore and The Comedy Store Over Alleged Attack by Security Guards

LOS ANGELES, CA – A father and daughter have filed a lawsuit this week accusing comedian Pauly Shore of allegedly encouraging security members at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles to assault the father in 2022. The lawsuit, which was submitted in Los Angeles County’s West District, claims that security members at the comedy club “violently grabbed and attacked” plaintiff Sean Kehoe on Nov. 30, 2022, while his daughter, Kirra Lyn Potts, was present. The allegations further state that Kehoe sustained “severe injuries,” leading to Potts experiencing “mental and emotional distress” and “extreme mental anguish.”

Both Kehoe and Potts allege that Shore “agreed with and encouraged” the attack, and the lawsuit asserts that he and The Comedy Store are both responsible for the actions of the security officials due to negligence in hiring. As a result, Kehoe and Potts are seeking monetary compensation for previous and future medical bills, as well as a to-be-determined sum for loss of earnings.

The lawsuit brings to light the serious allegations of negligence and assault at The Comedy Store. It raises concerns about the responsibility of public figures like Shore and the establishments that employ them in ensuring the safety and well-being of patrons. The legal action taken by Kehoe and Potts sheds light on the potential consequences of alleged negligence in hiring and supervision, as well as the impact of such incidents on the victims’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

The case will likely draw attention to the legal and ethical obligations of individuals and businesses in ensuring the safety of their patrons. It also underscores the emotional and financial toll that such incidents can take on the victims, as evidenced by the compensation being sought by Kehoe and Potts for medical expenses and loss of earnings.

As the lawsuit progresses, it will be important to closely examine the evidence and testimonies presented by both parties to determine the validity of the allegations and the extent of the damages suffered by Kehoe and Potts. Additionally, the case may prompt discussions about the implementation of stricter hiring and supervision regulations to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
