Why they messing with the Kid

Why they messing with the KidIVNIK8 says (27 Aug '09)
An encounter with some (former) fans may have left Kid Rock feeling a little punchy, but it also left his onetime worshippers more than a little litigious.
The trio of autograph seekers who first filed a $15 million suit against the Detroit rap-rocker in March over a 2006 skirmish at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel have amended their complaint, adding additional claims of assault and battery and clarifying allegations of negligence against Rock and his cohorts.In the new version of the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Tuesday, Michael Medlin, Carlos Bonilla and Jose Perez say they were punched and left licking their wounds in front of the hotel-based Teddy's nightclub following a run-in with Rock, his entourage and and members of the Boo-Yaa Tribe.
"Kid Rock himself owed a duty to [the men] to ensure that his own actions, and the actions of those he had control over, such as friends, security, entourage and others associated with him, would do nothing to cause injury to foreseeable persons such as plaintiffs," states the revised suit.
The complaint claims Rock's security detail, which had "undertaken a duty to ensure that others would not be unreasonably harmed by their activities," but ultimately "failed in their duties."
The amended version was filed after an attorney for Rock (real name: Robert Ritchie) challenged the negligence allegation in the trio's original suit, filed March 21.
The updated suit also includes claims the hotel should also be held liable for the incident.
A hearing, originally scheduled to take place today for Team Rock to formally challenge the negligence claims, was canceled now that the suit has been revamped.
The three plaintiffs are seeking damages for loss of wages, medical expenses and general pain and suffering.
They say they simply approached the 37-year-old star, with autograph book, a bag and a small camera, only to be beaten down and "left on the ground seriously injured as Kid Rock and his entourage drove off."

I think that people are sue happy and any little thing they think they can sue for they will. Kid is famous, rich and unfortunatly that puts him in the position of being taken advantage of, i.e. sued. Please let us just keep Rock living his life spreading tolerance and justice for all. And most of all peace for our nation and troops.
I agree with Connie celebrities are mopped all the time, stalking incidences are probably outrageous. Looks 2 me that the man with the camera has truely invaded KIds personal space with jammimg that camera in his face. The media should be held responsible for thousands of things they do such as Princess Diana death and how many celebrities have had near death experiences? I hope Bobbie wins this case he could get in a ton of shit though, if charged with these major felonies. He always gets the raw end of the deal lets hope they can settle this in Bobbies favor. God Bless Bobbie, Keep Rockin
I agree with BJ. Besides, considering our current society...the risks celebrities place themselves in when in public places...anyone approaching a celebrity should be suspect & stopped, condsidering the celebs that have been murdered in recent yrs....IE: John Lennon. I find it hard to believe that those suing are not responsible themselves...'if' they were physically harmed at all that is. Very likely they brought it on themselves. There are tons of Drs & people out there for 'hire' by injury atty's...will say whatever is necessary for a price.
Basically...I don't believe the suit filed is stating the truth, at the very least 'all' the facts. I call BULLSHIT...after money period.
They don't look like fans, looks like paparazzi to me, normal fans don't have big cameras like that...Just another bunch of jerks tryin' to get a piece of the pie.
