Remember that brain hemorrhage? Bret Michaels thinks it’s from this, and he’s mad. TMZ says:
Michaels has filed a lawsuit against Tony Award Productions, CBS and others … blaming producers for not instructing him on how to safely exit the stage after his performance was over … because while he tried to exit, he was “smacked” in the face by a piece of the set.
In the suit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Michaels claims he had to be hospitalized for a broken nose and a cut lip.
Six months after the awards, Bret nearly died from a subarachnoid brain hemorrhage — and the rocker insists it was NO coincidence.
In his suit, Michaels claims, “One of the most common causes of this type of hemorrhage is head trauma — exactly like the one Michaels suffered at the hands of the Tony Awards.”Michaels notes, “Through his sheer will to live, to see his children grow up, [he] was able to survive this trauma.”
Bret says producers have “failed and refused” to remedy the situation … and even blamed him for the mishap at the Tony Awards, claiming he “missed his mark.”
Michaels is suing for unspecified damages. A rep for the Tonys had no comment.
Bret Michaels is suing the producers of the Tony Awards because he’s awkward, fumbling, and never learned how to duck. Does this mean I can get damages for when I got it in my eye once? Yeah, I probably could’ve moved, but he never warned me. You know what that does to contact lenses?
