Exclusive | ‘Woke’ crusader gets slap on the wrist after courtroom outburst, shoving person suing her: ‘This is coddling’

A “woke” crusader known for sending hundreds of offensive emails and threats was given a mere slap on the wrist and complimented as “highly intelligent” by a civil judge — despite storming into court two hours late, shoving the person suing her in plain view of court officers and her own mother.

The hearing on Wednesday started with a one-and-a-half hour wait for Anne Marie Bompart to appear in the latest hearing over a $40 million defamation lawsuit filed by a pair of West Village lesbian bars, Henrietta Hudson and Cubbyhole.

It was unclear if she had planned on appearing at all, since her own lawyer claimed she hasn’t replied to his messages in weeks, according to court filings, and was himself seeking to be freed from her consul.

Judge James d’Auguste decided to begin Wednesday’s court hearing without her, and said that the purpose of the hearing was not to send her to jail, but to figure out the root causes of “why she’s doing the things that she’s doing, despite being clearly a highly intelligent individual.”

Despite at least 70 recorded instances of her violating a court order to not contact the plaintiffs, d’Auguste — who noted that she has sent so many hundreds of emails to his clerks that they were detected as “spam” — signaled he would send her for an outpatient 730 psychiatric evaluation.

As if on cue, Bompart entered, with three court officers and her mother tailing after her.

After a brief chat with her attorney Gerard Lucciola in the hallway, Bompart defiantly entered again, grabbing Cubbyhole manager Vic Smith — one of her targets of her “woke” campaign — on the shoulder as she sauntered past him.

“Do not touch me,” shouted Smith, as the judge, five court officers, supporters of the bars and Bompart’s mother watched.

Smith had a criminal order of protection against Bompart for most of the past year, and recently filed a new criminal harassment complaint after receiving at least 70 emails from her, despite a civil court order of no contact.

“Oh, but you can touch me?” Bompart replied, alluding to her claims that Smith once pulled a chair out from under her nearly two years ago.

The altercation merited no response from the judge, who instead thanked Bompart for arriving, nearly two hours late, to court. 

D’Auguste said the court’s role was not to determine what Bompart’s actions were, but why.

“It’s something that could land you in jail, and so the question is, why?” the judge said. “Because it’s not rational.”

As the judge spoke, Bompart made a heart with her hands towards a New York Post photographer — followed by a pair of extended middle fingers.

“She’s not fit to be in an outpatient setting,” the bars’ attorney Tom Shanahan said. “She’s not taking this seriously the way she just conducted herself in a court of law. This is coddling of a felon — I think she is a felon.”

Bompart has not been charged or convicted of a felony.

“I’m hopeful,” d’Auguste said, “since Ms. Bompart, irrespective of the issues, is a very intelligent person.”

Bompart asked to speak, then launched into a conspiratorial manic rant about how Shanahan was “evil” and colluded with the district attorney to steal her cell phone.

“I have experienced lots of consequences,” Bompart said. “My life has been destroyed. All my friends hate me. People think I’m evil.”

“They can’t get enough of me. That’s why they’re all here. They love me,” Bompart said, channeling her inner Norma Desmond. “Vic is upset that he never gets laid, and that’s what this whole thing is about.”

“You see, this is the type of self control you’re not exhibiting,” the judge said. “If you wouldn’t have sent the emails, you literally wouldn’t be here today.”
