Montgomery Management Company alleged in the lawsuit that when the lease ended, the actor led a work-crew into the restaurant and removed valuable items, including sinks, a walk-in cooler, booths, and light fixtures.

The company said in the lawsuit that the actor “acted willfully, maliciously, and oppressively with full knowledge of the adverse effect of their actions”, according to WeHoville.

Wahlberg has not yet released a statement regarding the lawsuit.
