Jason Pierre-Paul Sues ESPN, Adam Schefter For Posting His Medical Records
- 8 years ago
In a rather unsurprising development, New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul has elected to sue ESPN and Adam Schefter for releasing his medical records following the fireworks incident last summer that mangled Pierre-Paul's right hand.
"Schefter 'improperly obtained' Pierre-Paul's medical chart showing the defensive end had his right index finger amputated and posting the record on Twitter to nearly 4 million followers," the suit says.
"This action arises out of ESPN reporter Schefter's blatant disregard for the private and confidential nature of plaintiff's medical records, all so Schefter could show the world that he had 'supporting proof' of a surgical procedure," the suit says.
