Bitch Got Sued: Bret Michaels Wants The Tonys To Pay
Bret Michaels' European imported weave was nearly scalped from his head two years ago when a set backdrop welcomed him to Broadway by smashing down on top of him during a Tony Awards performance. After all the groupie genital warts he's nibbled on, all the booze he's inhaled and all the pressure he's put on his skull from suffocating it with a bandanna, a set piece at the damn Tony Awards is what took him out! It was the HAHAHAHAHA heard around the country until we learned that it left him with a broken nose and cut lip. Although, some of you evil cunts kept HAHAHAHAing after that (I'm looking at you, Ina Garten!).
Six months after his ego and wounds healed, Bret suffered a major brain hemorrhage that almost put him in a Rock of Death Coffin. Now Bret is blaming the Tony Awards for this and is suing the sequins off of them! When Bret is done with them, the Tony Awards will be so broke that they'll have to hold next year's ceremony in the middle of a shuttered Off-Track Betting on Broadway and 43rd (that sounds kind of hot, actually). TMZ has the details:
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.""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.
"Suffered at the hands of the Tony Awards" sounds like the gayest snuff film ever and I love that it came from Bret. The suit goes on to allege that the producers failed to show Bret how to exit the stage correctly. Lord. This melodramatic workers comp mess needs to be turned into a Broadway musical. While I understand that Bret went through some serious shit, blaming the Tonys is ridiculous. Think of all the injuries the Rock of Love hos suffered when they opened their eyes too fast while kissing Bret. Do you see them suing?! They should, actually.

It is possible to have a delayed reaction to a simple head injury. Doctors are more than capable of lying, screwing up, lying to cover their mistakes,or all of the above.
However, if he waited too long to get off the stage, that's his problem.
When the hemorrhage happened, the first statement from his treatment team discounted the Tony accident as its cause. Hard to believe that much time passed before something happened.

If you whores remember, I and some other dlisters commented that his hosp visit was a bullshit play for attention, and some shit was going on then that he wanted to promote, too. You can say any shit you want about a hospital visit, and if its a lie, the hospital can't say shit bc of HIPAA laws. remember octomom?
Yes. That was a ploy to get people to watch his new show about him being at home with his kids. He is so desperate to prove to the world he is some big rock star. The real ones don't need to whore themselves out on reality shows.
Bart is his own worst enemy. He missed his cue to get the fuck off the stage by basking in the glow of the 12 whores cheering his mediocre singing on. If it weren't for the rock of love skanks fighting over his balding head he would not be there. I agree with two other posters who said he suffers from Charile Sheen syndrome and did not save his money so he continues to whore himself out. He should not get a dime from this. Stoopid

Suing means that all of his records will be plastered on TMZ!! Does that include STD treatments?
Maybe not that public. But untraceable leaks are possible. TMZ or Radar is more than willing to keep folks on its payroll, or to pay one-off contractors, to obtain the goods.
On the million-to-one chance that Mr. Michaels has ever been unfortunate enough to have contracted an STD--undoubtedly unknowingly through a medically mandated blood transfusion--the defense lawyers could see the records if they could show the STD was possibly linked to the accident or his brain bidnez. A lot of time that stuff gets disclosed when Doc B, who might be treating him for the brain bidnez, gets a medical history that includes the prior nasty stuff handled by Doc A.

He did miss his mark because he was so busy soaking up the love coming from the audience. That wall thing that conked him was already on the way down but he wouldn't leave the stage when he should have.

ITA; he was so busy showboating he left the stage too late...how is that THEIR fault? I'm glad he enjoyed his moment of glory but that injury was due to HIS negligence, not theirs...

Bret has a thick skull, so I assume you're talking about my friend. She fell and konked her head, so she could sue for that; but the fall did not cause the aneurysm or cause any hemorrhaging. In a sense, the fall saved her life cuz, in the CT scan, the docs found the pre-existing problem. (A few months later, she had horrific, trepan-like brain surgery, costing oodles and oodles.)
ETA: What you said might apply to Bret, if his fancy docs can link whatever serious illness supposably befell him to the Tonys--even if it was a pre-existing condition.
Submitted by RustyHooligan on Sat, 03/26/2011 - 4:01pm.
My friend's wife was in a drug store, slipped on some cleaning solution, and fell hard, hitting her head. In the ER, the docs found a serious aneurysm in her right lobe. But it had been there for many years (she smoked a lot); it just hadn't ruptured yet.
She looked into suing, but, since it was a pre-existing condition and couldn't be linked to her fall, the lawyers told her it wasn't a big enough case to interest them.

I'm no expert in personal injury law (to say the least) but I thought the 'thin skull' theory may have applied here? Ya takes ya victim as ya finds them.

Bret could be the same sort of deal: long pre-existing condition, caused by this or that in his reckless lifestyle, but triggered when he got bonked on the noggin. If the docs can make that link, the sky's the limit in money damages.

That's a fucking reach. No doctor, can or would , accurately say this hit is why this hemorrhage happened to you. How the fuck do we know what he was doing during those 6 months?
Bitch should have been lucky the Tonys asked him to be a part of the show. Let's face it there are not many opportunities for him these days. He just pushed himself back in to playing chili bowls and county fairs.

Bret Michaels suffers from the Charlie Sheen delusional syndrome. His heavy use of drug and drinking contributed to his health issues. Get a life, Bret, and wake up from the deulsion that the Tonys are responsible for your injuries.
"Through his sheer will to live, to see his children grow up, [he] was able to survive this trauma." Are you fucking kidding me? So anyone who dies from an injury just didn't care enough to live, is that it? Fuck off, Bret Micheals.
Also: I remember soon after this accident happened, Bret gave some quote to PEOPLE mag about how there wouldn't be a lawsuit because he wanted to be a man about the whole thing and he knew it was just an accident. Huh. So much for that idea.
Why can't old "stars" fucking retire? They all claim it's because they love their work, but I have a suspicion that it's because they do a piss-poor job of managing their finances.

Agree. But dint he have some doc speak publicly about it, too? (Not sure.) Anyway, since he has sued, his entire medical history is suddenly an open book--hair plugs and all.

I blame the rock of love skanks! when i had this same injury I had gone to the ER about 4 times in a week thinking it was migraines. one of the onsoughts was totally my fault, b/c i wanted to fuck my boyfriend who also asked me if I thought it was a good idea. OF COURSE IT IS! lol so we were getting down and BAM! another episode and my dumbass went back to the hospital. and thank god the doctor told me he wouldn't keep treating me for migraines. he told me i needed a spinal tap. which i prostested but was in sooo much pain that i agreed. good thing b/c they found blood in my spinal cord and then did an mri to reveal i had blood on my brain behind my eyes. BUT BACK to the POINT! When you have a head injury its best to let your nuts cool because it IS pressure being focused to the head area. but I don't know. was he still doing that show after that?? maybe if he hadnt banged a bunch of sluts and loosened his bandana his brain wouldnt have popped!

He really should be suing someone for those walleyes.
The accident was in June '09, so he had 2 years to file suit (in CA). His lawyers were probably trying to negotiate a decent settlement with the defendants and their insurers; when talks collapsed, or the dollars weren't there, he sued. If his pricey med experts can show a link bw the scenery and his hemorrhage, it's a fat case; if they can't, it's a $30k suit.
I like these sorts of celeb suits cuz all kinds of funny stuff leaks out once the other side starts poking around. Here, for example, the defense gets to probe into every damn thing he's ever done, since childhood, that might have led to the hemorrhage.

Um, I think Bret left cocaine behind in the 90's. Especially with his diabeties.
^^^^^
He didn't leave the booze behind.
And he won't win this. Just another excuse for him to whine and blame others for his failures. He was told, as was everyone else who performed with him, that they had to leave the stage immediately because a new backdrop would be put in right away. The others did what they were told but Do-Rag Boy wanted to milk the applause so he stayed out where he was explicitly told not to be, and he got hurt. His fault and his alone.

According to complaint filed, "rocking it".
I have had the same exact injury. subrachnoid brain hemmorage. from my knowledge and what the neurologist told me it can even be a relatively small bump that could have the same effect as a piece of set crashing down on one's dome. the symptoms of injury will typically (I'm not saying everyone, b/c well, anything could happen) show themselves rather quickly. unless he had a very very small tear in his blood vessels where the hemmorage was just bleeding and collecting over a six month period. IMO not very likely, and if he symptoms hadn't presented themselves right away who knows what else he put his head through in those six months(lol gross). shoulda jumped on that lawsuit way quicker.

"Despite a rigorous professional schedule that kept him touring accross the nation..." - is this when he and two dozen whores were fucking on a tour bus while engaging in "dates" and "missions" and competing for Bret's pubic lice?
Maybe he did get wrapped up in his performance but how in holy hell did he not see that? And it goes appear he was yukkin' it up too long and looked for more attention rather than the heavy thing coming down on his head.

Go to Youtube and look at the accident video again. Even the rest of that crappy Poison band (who are brain-addled by years of excess) managed to get out of the way in plenty of time. Bret sopped up the attention and got nailed, he doesn't even look at that ginormous wall coming down. Bam.
