Lawyers for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio paid Dominique Sharpton, 32, a $95,000 settlement after admitting the city had been aware of the cracked pavement but did not fix it.

The 32-year-old, who is Sharpton’s eldest daughter, sued New York City for $5 million in April 2015 for "severely" injuring her ankle while crossing an uneven Manhattan street in 2014.
"I sprained my ankle real bad lol," Dominique Sharpton wrote in an Instagram post after she took a tumble in October 2014.
Sharpton claimed in her lawsuit that she suffered from "permanent physical pain," but subsequent social media posts just months after the fall showed she had a very active lifestyle.
One of her Instagram posts showed Sharpton climbing mountains on vacation, while she sported high heels and climbed a ladder to hang Christmas decorations in other social media photos.
