A powerful lawyer named Gloria Allred was seen making out with former New York Gov. David Paterson almost a week after he and his grandson were attacked on a Manhattan street.
The 70-year-old politician and the 83-year-old legal eagle were eating at Fresco by Scotto on Thursday night. They were sitting next to each other at different tables and got into a lively conversation about the attack, a spy tells Page Six exclusively.
A source says, “Gov. Paterson was sitting next to Allred, and they were seen having a heated conversation about the horrible attack he went through last Friday.” “Allred was all ears and seemed to be giving him advice,” the source adds.
Someone told us that Paterson got a drink and then ate beet carpaccio, dover sole, tiramisu, and cheesecake for dessert.
That same night, Allred ate fish while out to dinner with Susan Silver, who was one of the original writers of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”
Allred, who is known for helping people who have been sexually abused, went to Sean “Diddy” Combs’ first court hearing in his sex-trafficking case earlier in the day.
She is defending an unknown number of alleged victims, such as Thalia Graves, a woman who recently sued the 54-year-old rapper for “violently” raping her in 2001.
Our sources say that on Thursday, X Corp CEO Linda Yaccarino also ate at the well-known restaurant run by longtime “Good Day New York” co-host Rosanna Scotto.
On her daughter’s birthday, the person who works for Elon Musk ate potato and vegetable chips with her family.
The Post was the first to report that Paterson and his grandson, Anthony Chester Sliwa, 20, were attacked by three young suspects on the Upper East Side on October 4. This led to Paterson’s fun night out with Allred.
Sources say that Paterson and Sliwa were walking their dog on Second Avenue near East 96th Street just before 9 p.m. when they saw the thieves climbing up a fire escape.
The two people argued with the kids, then left, only to be attacked by three.
Paterson told The Post on Monday, “I hit him again and threw him into the McDonald’s window.” “I hit him against the window with my hand on his face.” He hit the ground.
A 40-year-old man named Travor Nurse is accused of hitting Paterson. Another 34-year-old man named Diamond Minter and two 12 and 13-year-old boys who have not been named have also been arrested in connection with the fight.
The ex-gov said, “The adults made things worse.” “The adults should go to hell, that’s all I care about.”
Sliwa got a serious cut on his face, and Paterson, who is legally blind, hurt his head.
Paterson was governor of New York from 2008 to 2010. He is married to Mary Paterson, who used to be married to Curtis Sliwa, the founder of Guardian Angels.
Joseph is the only child Curtis and Mary had together.
