Kim Delaney is embroiled in a legal dispute

A man named Dzhamal Badalov is suing actress Kim Delaney for an alleged hit-and-run incident that occurred in November 2022.

Dzhamal claimed the actress, 62, collided with his motorcycle while he was stopped at a red light on Venice Boulevard, Los Angeles and she allegedly ran away.

The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday, January 23. The filing states that Badalov was not the only witness, as others noticed her driving erratically before the crash.

Similarly, the NYPD Blue star attempted to escape the scene but was stopped by some spectators.

When Kim finally got out of the car, she appeared unconscious and proceeded to call someone on her phone, suggesting that she had been drinking or using substances.

The alleged victim continues to say that Delaney allegedly urged him to talk to the person on the other side of the phone.

The person on the phone then promised him that they would give him a specific amount of money if he let the actress leave the scene without calling the police.

However, Badalov said he refused the alleged offer, and as a result, Delaney reportedly fled the scene.

TMZ confirmed Los Angeles police have initiated an investigation against Kim Delaney.

The allegations against Kim from that night appear to be the same as those in the complaint. However, it is unclear whether Delaney is facing charges for allegedly being intoxicated.

Next week, she is scheduled to appear in court.

Kim Delaney’s past legal issues

The actress has previously struggled with substance misuse in addition to legal issues.

She was pulled over by the police in Malibu, California, and refused to take a breathalyzer test after being suspected of drunk driving. As a result, she was detained in 2002.

Delaney later pled no contest to the charge, receiving a fine, a mandatory drunk driving course, and a two-year probation stin.
