Man claims assault by Eminem in 2006 in Detroit
AP, Jul 4, 2008 1:00 pm PDTA man has sued Eminem, claiming the rapper punched him two years ago while they were in the bathroom of a Detroit strip club. A message seeking comment was left Friday by The Associated Press with an Eminem spokesman.
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, 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."
