PONTIAC — A man has sued Eminem, claiming the rapper punched him two years ago while they were in the bathroom of a Detroit strip club.
The Detroit News reports Miad Jarbou of Royal Oak filed the lawsuit Thursday in Oakland County Circuit Court seeking more than $25,000 in damages. The suit claims Eminem punched him July 13, 2006, at Cheetah's On the Strip Gentlemen's Club.
Eminem spokesman Dennis Dennehy declined to comment Friday on the lawsuit.
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, wasn't charged following reports of an incident at the club in 2006.
The strip club is located on Eight Mile Road, the border between Detroit and the northern suburbs made famous by Eminem's hit 2002 film "8 Mile."
Why would he file a lawsuit for it 2 years later? I don't understand...
Actually, what I don't understand is why he feels he deserves money for being punched. Did he have the goto the hospital, did he suffer in any way? - If someone punched me, regardless of celebrity status, I'd either try to hit them back or walk away. Not seek money for it...that's just greedy.
