Sarah Welch sues over bruised ego
The model and former Bachelor contestant has decided to sue over her infamous fall in October of 2007. Sarah Welch worked a fashion show at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood over a year ago and took a nasty spill into the Mondrian pool just below the stage. The hole in the runway was created by an earlier performance by Shaolin monks. During the demonstration, one of the monks did a front flip and landed a little too hard, breaking the runway.
“I had no idea that there was a hole there. It was almost like falling through ice. I was trying to get out and I remember there were pieces breaking around me and I couldn’t,” she told Inside Edition in 2007.
The lawsuit, filed in Santa Monica earlier this month, is directed toward several companies involved with the fashion show. Welch claims she suffered “great injuries to her body, shock and injuries to her nervous system” after the fall. Welch is suing for negligence and is seeking unspecified damages.
Ironically, Sarah wasn’t so devastated by the fall when it happened. When questioned about the video of her fall being viewed by millions, she told KABC-TV, “It is just a really funny mishap, I hope they’re enjoying watching it just as much as I am!”
The lawsuit is bogus. You can’t sue over a bruised ego!
