Doc sues city in fake-hate letter caper

A Staten Island chiropractor who was jailed over a threatening racist letter that went out in her name is suing the city and the twisted school crossing guard who actually wrote the notes.

Danielle Serini (top photo) says her life was upended in 2017 when she was arrested over hatefilled missives that went out to school administrators, a police stationhouse, a police officer and a crossing guard, Jennifer Becker.

After it emerged that Becker (bottom photo) was behind the letters — including the one to herself — as part of an ongoing feud with Serini, the chiropractor still struggled to get her life back on track, even after the charges against her were dropped.

Becker was later arrested, and pleaded guilty to a tampering with evidence.

Serini, in her lawsuit, said she was falsely arrested on three occasions and labeled a racist because of the ugly notes. As a result, Serini, a 40year-old mother of two, said she lost money because she was forced to close her practice and move to New Jersey.

“Her chiropractic practice was destroyed and she remains fearful of starting a new practice where potential patients would likely see the prior media attention because of the possibility of future false allegations against her,” the lawsuit claims. “Plaintiff even remains fearful of traveling through Staten Island for fear of being falsely arrested.”

The Becker/Serini feud dates back to April, 2016 when Serini was crossing a busy street corner with her son after school, and the crossing guard was not at her post, according to the lawsuit.

Days later, Serini said something to Becker about her absence, and Becker responded by screaming and cursing at her. After months of verbal exchanges, Becker’s police supervisors accused Serini of harassing the guard, and arrested the chiropractor. Serini was then busted for allegedly violating an order of protection, and again when the racist missives went out. Outraged residents threatened to boycott her business.

Serini is seeking monetary and punitive damages that were not specified in her suit.

A spokesman for the city’s law department did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
