A lawsuit by an activist against L.A. Councilmember Kevin de León over a physical altercation at a holiday toy giveaway in 2022 could be dismissed soon.
A lawsuit brought by an activist against Los Angeles City Councilmember Kevin de León over a scuffle at a holiday toy giveaway in 2022 could be dismissed as early as next month. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lynne Hobbs ruled during a hearing last week that the activist, Jason Reedy, had waited too long to file the lawsuit against the councilman. The complaint was filed past the six-month statute of limitations for suing a government entity, Hobbs wrote in her decision.
The event came just a few weeks after the councilman was heard on a leaked recording engaged in a conversation with other officials that included racist and derogatory comments, triggering calls for De León's resignation or recall. Reedy and other activists interrupted the holiday event, calling De León a racist and demanding that he resign. The councilman tried to exit, but Reedy followed and stood face to face with him. That's when the situation escalated.
