A New Yorker's feud with a popular vintage photo booth next door has escalated into a bizarre legal battle involving urine, feces, and accusations of harassment.
A pissed-off New Yorker hates the TikTok famous vintage photo booth that’s been set up next door to her Lower East Side home so much that she’s throwing a literal piss and s–tstorm over it, a new lawsuit claims.
But Trakas told The Post that it’s all just a ploy to grab cash before the TikTok sensation, which she said draws hundreds of loud 20-somethings in a constant line around the block,“We’re talking up to hundreds of people on the line, all the same age demographic. No one local, not even NYU.”The owners say Trakas has officially “declared war” on them ever since they signed a lease for their booth next door to her building on the Lower East Side.
“OK, that had a context,” she said before cackling and explaining it was in response to Minton vandalizing her bikes.The store opened last month, and allegedly, Trakas tossed a bucket of urine from her second-story Allen Street window onto a booth owner and called customers — “narcissistic r—-ds.”The suit claims that the real “deranged” acts began this month — when she called the booth visitors “narcissistic r—-ds” on Jan. 2.
The young photo entrepreneur claims that video footage from that night shows Trakas channeling her inner artist and painting a plywood board she recently set up to block her view of the booth with “a paint can filled with brown liquid feces,” dumping the remains of the can into planters installed by Minton, who says he and a team had to don KN-95 masks and spent over three hours scrubbing the booth clean.“They’re here all day, I had to come out at night. That is me on the camera … It’s a primer.
