Drama At City Hall: Seaman Files Lawsuit Vs Fiore, Las Vegas
It’s a case of she said-she said-they filmed-they deleted the evidence. According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Councilwoman Victoria Seaman has filed a lawsuit against fellow Councilwoman and state treasurer nominee Michelle Fiore.
The suit stems from an alleged January 2021 altercation. Seaman and Fiore, once friends, had a heated argument after a meeting at Las Vegas City Hall. That argument into a full-blown assault and battery according to the lawsuit. “Councilwoman Fiore grabbed Councilwoman Seaman by the hand pulling, jerking, twisting and breaking Councilwoman Seaman’s finger in a violent manner,” said the suit which was filed Monday.
The suit claims that Councilwoman Seaman got to see security camera footage of the fight with a city attorney. The video could obviously be damning. The video was deleted according to Seaman. The city destroyed evidence and suppressed evidence to conduct an investigation, the suit claims. Las Vegas is also named as a defendant.
Someone call the Mayor!
You might be asking, where was Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman during all of this? Well, she is mentioned in the lawsuit. They allege Goodman told Seaman that she should think about resigning if she can’t handle the stress of the job.
The Las Vegas Review Journal had sought footage of the alleged attack. Late RJ investigative reporter Jeff German was attempting to get the footage less than a month after the alleged attack, but was stonewalled.
Now, Seaman’s lawsuit alleges, Fiore is as brazen as ever and is “even more hostile, aggressive and malicious”. Again, these two work on the City Council together. And you thought your job had drama.
Councilwoman Seaman is seeking damages (money). Councilwoman Fiore is also seeking money – her campaign spam-texts me daily asking for it! True story. Ah, the joy of not being a real news organization, you get to type that.
