Actress Jennifer Agostini, friends attacked leaving Midtown bar: court papers
A model and an actress got their money-makers messed up by a racist pack of miscreants during a Midtown bar brawl, according to a new court papers seeking to force the venue to hang on to surveillance footage of the throw-down.
Actress Jennifer Agostini, 43, and swimsuit model Prendinellys Garcia, 47, ran up a nearly $1,000 tab at Midtown lounge Sky Room for their friend’s birthday Saturday night before leaving around 3 a.m. Sunday, papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court sat.
But on their way out of the West 40th Street club, they got jumped and beaten to the ground by a group of 10 to 15 people who were yelling “white motherf—ers,” “dirty white b—-es” and “f—k those white b—-es and their money,” the court papers say.
“It was just this stampede as we were leaving. We just got rushed and assaulted by, I can’t tell you by how many people,” Agostini — who is set to begin filming the show “Brooklyn Ties” this spring — told The Post.
“I’m a lead character on the series in March, and I have to now go to see numerous plastic surgeons, and I also have to go back to the concussion center to MRI my head.”
Photos shared with The Post show Agostini’s bruised and swollen face following the attack.
“These are beautiful women and their faces are distorted,” added Garcia’s husband, Cal Stuart.
Agostini and the others — who are asking a judge to have the bar keep surveillance video and other records of the incident — say they don’t know exactly why the brawl erupted.
The incident touched off when one of their friends tried to go back into the bar for a forgotten credit card after their party had left, according to court papers.
A bouncer pushed the woman, and they got into a verbal spat when Stuart told him to lay off, the husband claimed.
“All of a sudden, 10 to 15 people jumped us,” said Stuart, claiming bouncers were among the attackers.
Stuart said he’s consulting his lawyers about whether to file a police report.
“I was pushed onto the ground and eight individual jumped on top of me and brutally assaulted me. I have five stitches in my head. My whole eye is closed. I am going to have numerous scars on my face,” Agostini said.
Garcia told The Post, “I have a black eye. I have been having a lot of headaches. My whole entire body hurts. They were punching and kicking me on my body.”
The papers named Sky Room’s parent company, The Sky Bar Times Square Inc., and two other companies.
Sky Room did not immediately return requests for comment.
