The hits just keep on coming for W.i.P., the site of last month’s infamous Chris Brown-Drake club melee.
Two women injured in the bottle-throwing brouhaha at the since-shuttered nightclub filed suit against its owners yesterday, saying the hot spot’s negligence led to the chaotic confrontation between the rival hip-hop stars’ entourages.
The joint suit by financial planner Lucy Pavlovsky, 24, and model Nadia Beddini, 27, doesn’t name Brown or Drake, but the women’s lawyer, Javier Solano, says that’s subject to change.
“We’re doing our own investigation and waiting to see what the Police Department does,” said Solano.
Pavlovsky suffered two gashes to her arm, which required 12 stitches to close. Beddini “got lacerations on her legs” and fell when the bottles started flying, Solano said.
A rep for the club issued a statement, saying, “We work hard to provide a safe environment. If an accident or injury occurs, we try to respond appropriately. ”
The lawsuit follows an earlier suit filed against the club by basketball star Tony Parker, who says he suffered a scratched cornea in the melee that’s cost him his chance to play for France in the Summer Olympics.
The SoHo bar and its parent nightclub, Greenhouse, were shuttered by the NYPD soon after the June 14 incident. The venues struck a tentative deal with the city to reopen on July 8, and are fighting to keep their liquor licenses.
