Overview

• MSG alleges Charles Oakley failed to preserve thousands of text messages relevant to his ongoing lawsuit, accusing him of destroying evidence by trading in his phone despite legal obligations.
• Oakley's 2022 autobiography, 'The Last Enforcer,' is at the center of MSG's claims, with accusations that his attorney edited key passages to align with the lawsuit's narrative.
• MSG highlights edits in the book's manuscript, including changes to Oakley's account of the confrontation, which they argue misrepresent the events of his 2017 ejection from Madison Square Garden.
• Oakley's legal team denies the allegations, asserting that the book reflects his testimony and evidence, and accuses MSG of creating a false narrative to justify its actions.
• The court filing seeks sanctions against Oakley and his attorneys, ranging from dismissal of the case to covering MSG's legal costs, with a decision pending from the judge.
