Spike Lee, the director and a Knicks superfan, accused James L. Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, of “harassing” him and said he would not attend any more home games this season after he was pulled aside after entering Madison Square Garden on Monday night.
Lee also accused the franchise of lying about what happened.
“Typical Garden spin,” Lee said in a text message to The New York Times on Tuesday, adding, “Dolan is harassing me.”
The incident between Lee and Knicks staff first came to light in a video that went viral on social media showing an agitated Lee speaking with what appeared to be security guards inside the arena.
