Queens City Council member sued by girlfriend of Brooklyn murder victim for social media posts that allegedly sparked online harassment

Queens City Council Member Vickie Paladino is in another legal battle over statements she made.

A New York City activist is suing the right-wing firebrand, claiming the elected official baselessly claimed she chose not to call the police when her boyfriend was murdered in 2023 because doing so would not have aligned with the activist’s left-wing politics.
