The lawsuit confirms that Alarcon was the individual wearing the red “Make America Great Again” hat and states that the plaintiffs also were displaying a “Trump flag and flag honoring police.” (WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE) The lawsuit bases its assault and battery claims on the assertion Hennessy was only a few feet away from the plaintiffs when she allegedly “sprayed her copious spittle” on them “as she raged” at them while using “foul and intimidating language.” “Hennessy Carolina knew or should have known that her spraying of spittle upon plaintiffs at a time when COVID-19 virus infection was a nationwide threat to all persons in the U.S. was assaulting, threatening and intimidating,” it says. The filing claims the way the video was shared online exposes the plaintiffs to “public contempt, ridicule and disgrace.” The lawsuit filed Monday is asking for real and punitive damages to be decided at trial.
