'NYPD Blue' Alum Kim Delaney Says She Fled Crash Scene Over Safety Fears
"The filing reviewed by TMZ indicated that according to Delaney, the neighborhood where the accident occurred was one where she had a "previous history of personal assault." Delaney's filing alleged that as an actress who "has appeared in television series and movies, and is additionally fearful of any retribution or attack based on her perceived celebrity status." In addition to starring on NYPD Blue, Delaney has had roles on other shows such as General Hospital and Chicago Fire."
"In the filing, according to TMZ, Delaney acknowledges she was involved in the accident. The other driver, Dzhamal Badalov, is suing Delaney for unspecified damages. Badalov alleges that Delaney was under the influence and had been driving erratically prior to hitting him. TMZ noted that according to Badalov, Delaney smelled of alcohol and offered him money as an incentive to leave the authorities out of it all."
A legal filing states Delaney fled the 2022 crash due to safety concerns, citing a prior history of personal assault in the neighborhood and fear tied to perceived celebrity status. She acknowledges involvement, denies being under the influence, and attributes the crash to factors outside her control. The other driver, Dzhamal Badalov, alleges she smelled of alcohol, had been driving erratically, offered him money to avoid police, claims serious injuries, and is suing for unspecified damages. Public reactions on social media questioned her celebrity status and viewed the safety claim as entitlement.
