A College Dude Is Suing After He Went To The Same College As An Ex And She Now Regularly Attempts To Ruin His Life
NYP – Freshman Ari Grossman filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court saying his ex-girlfriend and current classmate Kalya Torrey started their vicious feud by lying that he raped her in order prevent him from attending Pace — his dream college.
Grossman said he and Torrey ended their Malibu, Calif., romance when they were 15 years old — but that they parted amicably. He had no idea there was bad blood until after he had been admitted to Pace’s acting program, which prompted Torrey’s parents to call his parents and demand he drop out, the lawsuit said.
After Grossman refused to drop out, Torrey asked the District Attorney’s Office to bring charges, although none was filed, the lawsuit said. Torrey then sought a temporary restraining order against Grossman, but the judge ordered the Malibu residents to settle the case and they agreed to just stay away from each other, the lawsuit claimed.
Torrey filed so many complaints against Grossman in the first few weeks of school — seven between Sept. 4 and Sept. 11 — that the dean had to intervene and tell them to just cool it, Grossman’s suit says.
The final straw for Grossman came when his ex accused him of stalking her in the food hall in November — and he ended up getting tossed in a cell for 12 hours with his legs and hands in shackles.
The Post has more details about how cops also told them to cool out after her stalking complaints had no evidence behind them. And overall reading this article I felt AWFUL for this dude. It’s stressful enough moving across the country, not having family there, different climate and city and whole other world when you’re an 18-year-old kid. But doing it with this shit hanging over you sounds like an absolute nightmare. Maybe there’s some info missing here and this kid did something awful along the way…but it sounds a lot like a crazy girl with a crazier family unable to let some guy from her past share a fucking 13,000 person campus in one of the largest cities in the world with their precious little snowflake.
And this may be too esoteric of a point to make but whatever: The fact that BOTH of these two grew up in Malibu and were like “Yeah where we need to go? Pace University” blows my mind. No offense to Pace but that is hardly the NYC school I’d imagine holding some sort of holy war over:
Overpriced as shit, not highly rated, this is what you’re ruining lives over 3,000 miles away? NYU, Columbia, hell even Baruch if you’re a big Glenny Balls fan and hoping to run into him after an open bar are all things you could convince me are worth this insanity. But Pace? Transfer to CUNY Hunter, save a few bucks and the both of yourselves a headache even if you’re not the one in the wrong. Pace isn’t exactly like when Jesse was obsessed with going to “Stansbury” on Saved by the Bell, no reason to keep clinging on there in the face of crazy redheaded adversity.
