Britney Spears is
being sued by a dancer for battery and negligence after apparently
being injured during the filming of the singer's "Work Bitch" music
video.
In the complaint, Dawn Noel claims
that when Spears arrived for the video shoot in Woodland Hills, Calif.,
on Aug. 19, 2013, the 32-year-old pop star was "in a disheveled and
confused state." She adds that, "although the choreography involving
Britney Spears was fairly basic, she was having difficulty learning the
moves, performing dance steps and following simple directions."
Noel
says that after about a half hour of rehearsing, Spears "twirled in an
unbalanced and reckless manner, arms extended out to her sides and
forcefully backhanded" her directly in the face. The lawsuit alleges the breaking of Noel's noise made "a cracking sound" that was heard by other dancers. Noel says she saw a doctor later that day and was promised by Spears' reps and the Reign Deer Entertainment company that her medical bills would be paid.
However, Noel claims that she was later told that the bills would not be paid, which is why she ultimately filed the suit.
Noel is demanding a jury trial. She is suing for serious physical and emotional damages including disfigurement to her nose as well as severe emotional distress and anxiety.
