Kimberly and Gianna Gotti, the wife and daughter of John “Junior” Gotti, made an appearance in court on Tuesday in New York.
The two individuals are being charged in connection with a physical altercation that occurred during a high school basketball game on Long Island.
In February, there was an incident involving Gianna Gotti, 23, and Kimberly Gotti, 55, who were involved in a confrontation with a woman during a game at Locust Valley High School.
The woman explained that the fight started when she politely requested someone to refrain from using offensive language towards the students.
“At that point, I felt my hair being pulled and felt my wig come off, which was held on by three clips and velcro,” the woman said in her statement to police. “I felt as if my scalp was going to be ripped off and I observed the lady in the gray jacket pulling my hair.”
According to the Gotti family’s attorney, they claimed that the woman was mistreating their son while he was participating in the game.
John “Junior” Gotti assumed the role of the Gambino crime family’s acting boss during his father’s, John Gotti, incarceration. John Gotti, famously known as the “Teflon Don,” passed away in 2002 while serving a life sentence in prison.
The authorities have issued an order for the Gotti women to maintain their distance from the alleged victim.
