Albert Trummer, the owner of the popular celebrity hotspot DOM, is currently embroiled in a legal battle with his investor Arndt Oesterle. The bombshell lawsuit filed by Oesterle last month accuses Trummer of overseeing a “live sex show” and allowing open drug use at the venue. Trummer vehemently denies these claims and believes that Oesterle’s motive is to take over his club by tarnishing his reputation.
Trummer alleges that Oesterle threatened him last year after he refused to sign an “unfavorable agreement” that would have made Oesterle the sole proprietor of the Gramercy Park establishment. Trummer claims that Oesterle’s ultimate goal is to obtain his intellectual property and oust him from the business. He views the lawsuit as a way for Oesterle to push him out and take control of the club.
In response to Oesterle’s lawsuit, Trummer adamantly denies the accusations leveled against him. He argues that there is no concrete proof to support the claims made by Oesterle. Trummer also refutes the allegation of overseeing live sex shows at DOM, stating that his club is not akin to the controversial Lower East Side venue known for its risqué performances.
Oesterle alleges in his lawsuit that he provided significant financial contributions to the company, totaling over $1.8 million. However, Trummer contends that Oesterle is not a co-owner but rather a financial backer who invested in specific assets for the club. Trummer claims that Oesterle only funded a high-end sound system and expensive furniture, which he later reclaimed.
Trummer expressed shock and disappointment upon learning about the lawsuit filed by Oesterle. He described the legal action as malicious and expressed sadness that someone he had trusted for two decades would resort to such measures. Trummer refutes the allegations as baseless and maintains his innocence in the face of Oesterle’s claims.
As the legal battle between Albert Trummer and Arndt Oesterle unfolds, the future of DOM hangs in the balance. Despite the accusations and counterclaims, the club continues to operate while both parties seek to resolve their differences through legal channels. The outcome of this contentious dispute remains uncertain, leaving the fate of the celebrity hotspot in limbo.
