A mother, Kelly Conlon, planning to attend a performance at New York City’s Radio Music Hall was denied entry after facial recognition technology detected her in the lobby

A mother planning to attend a performance at New York City’s Radio Music Hall was denied entry after facial recognition technology detected her in the lobby. Kelly Conlon was with her daughter’s Girl Scout troop when she was stopped by security shortly after entering the “Christmas Spectacular” show the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Conlon was informed by the security guard that she was denied entry due to her employer’s involvement in a lawsuit in which a client sued a restaurant venue owned by Madison Square Garden. For years, the New Jersey law firm Davis, Saperstein, and Solomon has been involved in the personal injury lawsuit, and MSG operates Radio City Music Hall and produces the Rockettes show.

Conlon stated that she is not actively working any MSG cases and had to wait for her daughter outside the venue. “They knew my name before I told them. They knew the firm I was associated with before I told them. “And they told me I couldn’t be there,” she explained.
