KID ROCK FACING NEW BATTERY LAWSUIT

KID ROCK has been sued for battery by three men accusing him of lashing out after they asked for his autograph, leaving them 'seriously injured'.

KID ROCK

Michael Medlin, Carlos Bonilla and Jose Perez filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday (21Mar08). They are demanding $15 million (GBP7.5 million) in damages after Rock - real name Robert Ritchie - and members of hip-hop group the Boo-Yaa Tribe allegedly assaulted them outside Hollywood club Teddy's on 22 March, 2006.

According to legal documents obtained by entertainment TV channel E!, Rock and fraternal rappers Paul, Ted, Donald, Roscoe, Danny and David Devoux have all been listed as defendants in the case.

The three plaintiffs are claiming wage loss, loss of use of property, hospital and medical expenses, property and general damages and loss of earning capacity. They were allegedly attacked after approaching Rock and the Devoux brothers with notebooks.

Medlin, Bonilla and Perez have also taken aim at the Roosevelt Hotel's poor security system, where the club is located - which left them in a "dangerous and hazardous" situation.

The suit states "Kid Rock and members of the Boo-Yaa Tribe assaulted and battered all three plaintiffs" and they were "left on the ground seriously injured as Kid Rock and his entourage drove off".

Ironically, earlier this month (11Mar08) Rock signed autographs for charity in a Duluth, Georgia Waffle House restaurant to make amends for a fight he was allegedly involved in at one of the chain's eateries last year (07). A not guilty plea in that case was entered on Kid Rock's behalf in a DeKalb County State Court 3 March (08).
