What a rough week, Love & Hip Hop New York star, Tahiry Jose endured last week. NYFW was all drama for this reality star as she ended up being attacked backstage during a show at Fashion Week.

Now MStars News has learned that Jose is reportedly facing a major lawsuit. Madame Noire reports two guest of Tahiry's now-closed Washington Heights nightclub, Suite 135, revealed that they were injured earlier this year after a fight erupted at the venue.

Victim, Edward Gaskin, 22, claims he was shot in the hand, while his cousin Shameeka Green, 27, says that she was trampled by other party-goers who were trying to escape the chaos.

In the alleged victims lawsuit, they claim that Tahiry and 5 Points Security showed negligence when they allowed an armed guest to party at the nightclub.

"This was a total failure on the part of the owners and operators of this club," the victims' lawyer, Philip Monier, stated.

"They are still being treated by their doctors," Monier said. "It's been about six months and they are still injured. It's been difficult. He has a big bullet hole though his hand."

This lawsuit also reveals that this was not the first time that someone entered the venue with a gun. Another person complained that Suite 135 owners knew "the likelihood that a guest at the nightclub would bring a gun."

After the March shooting a Suite 135 manager explained that the clubs scanner was not working on the night of the shooting. The manager also revealed that no wand was available to scan for medal objects.

The club believes that the gun made its way inside by a woman who hid it in the lining of her purse. As of today, no arrests have been made in the shooting.
