Ex-driver sues Curry for sexual harassment

A man who worked for three years as Eddy Curry's driver is suing Curry, alleging sexual harassment and a failure to pay him tens of thousands of dollars. In a lawsuit filed Monday in federal court, the former driver, Dave Kuchinsky, claimed that Curry, the Knicks' center, owed him $68,000 in back wages and another $25,000 for charges made on Kuchinsky's credit card. In the suit, Kuchinsky also described two incidents in which he claimed Curry dropped his pants and made lewd and suggestive remarks. Curry steadfastly denied the allegations Monday. Curry's lawyer, Kelly Saindon, called the allegations "preposterous" and added, "In my opinion, it's extortion." Curry, 26, is married and has four children. Kuchinsky began working for Curry in October 2005. He quit last October, according to his lawyer, Matt Blit. "My client called up Eddy and said I need to get paid," said Blit, of Levine and Blit in Manhattan. "If we came to an agreement, we wouldn't have filed suit."

Ok granted, the Knicks are a ****, but does anyone really believe this? I know pro athletes can be spoiled mindless knuckleheads at times, but the trash who hang around them who are simply looking for a payday are just as bad.

I agree with you on this. A lot of this just doesn't sound too believable. The guy sounds like he's out for a payday but we all know at the end of the day he is going to get some money and this thing goes away.

Lord knows with all the bad press the Knicks got for the Anucha Browne Sanders thing that sexual harrasment and their organization is topic non-grata. I'm sure the powers that be are probably in Eddy's ear begging him to make this thing go away.

You probably didn't read the full article. Dude claims Curry got naked and asked to be touched. It's obvious this con is out to get paid but I do see some similarities between Eddy Curry and John Amaechi the glaring one being 'big men that do well in one season and dissappear'. Now I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being gay but if he really is he should just man up and let the world know about it.

Now I hope the Knicks get rid of him. Not because he might be gay but because he is lazy, always out of shape, sucks on defense and never rebounds.

Eddy Curry is sooo freaking Fat and lazy, that he can't drive his own car??

January 13, 2009  10:44 AM ET

I don't believe this story so far it's kind of way out there to be true. Curry might harass a Big Mac with cheese, but this guy with the lawsuit is just looking like, someone who wants a big fat paycheck. In till you have proof I can't believe this story.

*Hahahahaha* X^D

I mean come on... How screwed up must your life and your judge of character be if you're a married professional athlete and a guy is accusing you of sexual harassment?

This is just too funny! X^D

He must have had the driver picking him up donuts and cheescake with his card.

"yeah bro, I'll pay you back, don't worry. Don't forget the rainbow sprinkles"

It's not illegal to be gay, but it is illegal to jam a pocket python in someones face. Regardless, this guy is full of fertilizer. He should be jailed if this lawsuit turns out to be baseless. But, if it's true, it would give a whole new meaning to posting up down low.

January 13, 2009  11:53 AM ET

great....i just can't wait till 2010

January 13, 2009  12:12 PM ET

Actually there may be some truth in his accusations. My 1st question would be why is this guy using his own credit card for Curry? That part of his story shouldn't be too difficult to check out.

new york knicks players love showing their wangs to their employees

January 13, 2009  12:44 PM ET

this guy that is accusing Curry is a former convict as well.
