UPDATE, 3/26/14, 1:30 p.m. EDT: Additional comments from John Balestriere, the attorney representing Houck and Tabar, have been added to this article.
Former Schulte Roth & Zabel associate Samir Tabar has responded to a former girlfriend’s accusations of battery and infliction of emotional distress with a court filing of his own in which he calls her suit “baseless” while claiming that he and his current fiancée are the actual victims of harassment.
Tabar responded to the suit filed against him last month by his former girlfriend, Angela Kovalesky, in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan Monday with a 157-page filing [PDF] Monday that accuses Kovalesky of inflicting emotional distress upon him and his fiancée, Scarlett Hauck (who is referred to as “Scarlett Etienne” in the filing).
