Bret Michaels Is Suing The Tony Awards

This past Friday, Bret Michaels filed suit against The 2009 Tony Awards and CBS for causing bodily harm when a prop actually fell on his head.  The above video shows it all.

Bret claims that he wasn't informed that the stage would change after his performance, hence the reason why he got served by the dropping screen.  Honestly, it looks like it really hurt too; he was left with a busted lip and broken nose.

Then a couple months later he was in the hospital with a brain hemorrhage.  Coincident?

And it seems if The Tony Awards would have just responded more quickly and actually showed that they cared, this may not be happening:

Phone and e-mail messages left for spokespeople for the Tony Awards were not immediately returned Friday evening. Within days of the accident, Michaels expressed dismay that Tony organizers hadn't shown more concern about the incident.

I can't blame the guy, I'd be pissed too.  The least they could have done was say sorry or follow up and send him a care package....usually that's all it takes people!  But after being treated like poop and then getting a brain bleed would not leave a nice taste in my mouth either.

"The Tony Awards dropped a piece of the stage on Bret's head, and then instead of doing the right thing, joked about it and played it off for ratings," Michaels' attorney Alex Weingarten wrote in a statement.

So far it's not public as to what exactly Bret is looking for collect from the lawsuit, but I do know he's serious:

He said Michaels tried to resolve the court without filing a case but was unsuccessful. "They must be held accountable for almost killing Bret, and that is what we are going to do," Weingarten wrote.
