Kid Rock Slapped With Lawsuit Over Alleged Fracas In 2006

Kid Rock was slapping waffles down on fans’ plates earlier this month as part of a charity benefit, but now he’s on the receiving end of some slapping thanks to a lawsuit filed against him last Friday.

Kid Rock, AKA Robert Ritchie, is being sued by Michael Medlin, Carlos Bonilla and Jose Perez, who claim he caused them personal injury and “exemplary” personal damages according to the lawsuit obtained by Access Hollywood.

In the paperwork, the three men claim they were waiting outside of Teddy’s Nightclub at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel early on the morning of March 22, 2006. The celebrity autograph collectors claim they were “assaulted and battered” by Kid as well as members of the Boo Yaa Tribe, who are also named as plaintiffs in the suit.

They also alleged that Medlin was kicked and “left on the ground seriously injured as Kid Rock and his entourage drove off,” the suit reads.

The Roosevelt and Teddy’s are both named in the suit as the defendants claim they “operated their (sic) permises so as to allow plaintiffs to be attacked and severely beaten.”

The plaintiffs claim Kid Rock and the Boo Yaa Tribe stole their cameras, bags and “other personal items in their hands.”

Lost Highway Touring is also named as a defendant in the suit.

The plaintiffs additionally claim that as a result of the reported incident, they “did and do to this day, suffer extreme emotional distress, humiliation and mental anguish.”

They are seeking an amount in unlimited excess of $15 million.

A rep for Kid Rock was not immediately available for comment at press time.
