New Jersey Nurse Sues After Suspension for Reporting Doctor Who Allegedly Praised Charlie Kirk Killing

The lawsuit describes a suspension without pay following her complaint, with her attorney alleging termination is imminent.

Overview

  • Lexi Kuenzle filed a lawsuit Friday in Bergen County against Englewood Health, Dr. Matthew Jung and others, seeking unspecified damages.
  • She alleges Jung said Kirk "had it coming" in front of staff and a patient, and she questioned how such remarks align with medical ethics.
  • Kuenzle says she reported the comment to management, posted about it on Instagram, and was suspended without pay the next day pending an investigation, with a union representative advising her to look for another job.
  • The complaint cites the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination and the Conscientious Employee Protection Act and requests a jury trial.
  • As of Sunday morning, Jung was no longer listed on Englewood Health’s website, with no public confirmation of any disciplinary action.
