The latest HBO drama may not have dragons, but it sure has a big budget.
Nancy Lesser, a high-ranking HBO executive, has filed a $1 million civil lawsuit over a nasty fall she took on the 2016 Emmys Red Carpet.
Worst of all? She's suing the TV Academy (as well as the City of Los Angeles and Anshultz Entertainment Group), an organization staffed by peers and friends who honored many of the network's shows that very night. While that doesn't reach Red Wedding levels by any means, there's plenty of sticks and stones (and broken bones) in the lawsuit, obtained by Mashable.
Lesser's claim, filed Nov. 15 in Los Angeles Superior Court, tells of a night filled with glamor and stars "dressed for the fashion of the day, including women with high heels, and some with extremely high heels." But all of it came crashing down when the conditions of the red carpet (from the Microsoft Theater to the Governor’s Ball at Gilbert Lindsay Plaza) led to her stepping a dirt hole in the concrete and smashing her hip on the sidewalk.
Lesser sustained multiple fractures in the serious fall, necessitating an initial two-week stay in Cedars Sinai hospital, hefty medical bills, and eight months of forced leave of absence from work.
It all piles up to a grand total of damages that has yet to be determined. But since her medical bills alone already total $1 million, and that doesn't include future bills, damages, and loss in wages, we'll conservatively ballpark a LOT OF MONEY.
To add the ultimate insult to injury, though, the fall robbed the Executive Vice President of Media and Talent at HBO – who put in all the hard work of planning the premium network's Emmys after party in the first place – of even attending her own celebration.
In this case, it's Lesser's party. And she'll sue if she wants to.
