Overview
- Miranda Tyson filed a workplace harassment and retaliation lawsuit in New York County Supreme Court, alleging that the Rangers and MSG Sports allowed a well-known fan called “Dancing Larry” to repeatedly touch non-male Blue Crew members during in-game segments.
- Tyson’s complaint details unwanted contact such as grabbing heads, necks, shoulders, backs, arms and hands, plus attempts to interlock fingers during high-fives, and says colleagues reported even more extreme conduct that included spitting into people’s mouths.
- Larry Goodman, the fan known as Dancing Larry, is a longtime season-ticket holder and not an MSG employee, and he is not named as a defendant; he did not respond to reporters’ requests for comment and MSG said it does not comment on employee or legal matters.
- The suit says management first spoke to Goodman and briefly pulled his segment before restoring it, then barred Tyson from Dancing Larry assignments after a February 2025 incident and did not rehire them that August, which the filing calls retaliation.
- Despite the new lawsuit, Goodman was honored on the jumbotron for 30 years at the Garden, and the New York Post reported a source called the claims unfounded and said the organization supports him, as Tyson seeks compensatory and punitive damages in court.
