Helloooooo Ladies: A Mob Empire Founded On Police Brutality Loot = Fuck The Police 2.0!

"The beat look
Police-brutality $$ started fashion line

By JEREMY OLSHAN


In 2002, an NYPD officer smashed Leah McSweeney's face into a subway grating, knocking out two of her teeth.

It turned out to be her big break.

The $75,000 settlement she received from the city two years later provided the seed money for Married to the MOB, the company she's since grown into a multimillion-dollar fashion line.

With a line of T-shirts emblazoned with such provocative messages as "Super Bitch" and "Men are the new women," McSweeney built the company into a powerhouse.

She became a millionaire in 2007 when she sold a stake in the company, and tonight she will appear on Bravo's "The Million aire Matchmaker."

"In hindsight, it was a pivotal moment in my life," McSwee ney, now 28, said of her brush with po lice.

"The cops were beating up a friend of mine outside the Hammerstein Ballroom at around 4 a.m.," she said. "I had a bottle in my hand and -- though I shouldn't have -- I threw it. That's when the cop punched me." With the settle ment money, she purchased a new computer, turned her apartment into her office and, "most importantly, had money to live on while I started the company," she said.

Now her company is headquartered on the 65th floor of the Empire State Building."
