Back in 2004, Rick Springfield played a concert at the NY State Fair and woman claims his buttocks hit her when he fell backwards and knocked her unconscious for around 10 minutes. In the 2007 lawsuit, she says that she is still suffering from the injury and is not able to work because of it according to her lawyer,
Kenneth Goldblatt.
The singer went out into the crowd and that is when Vicki Calcagno claims his backside met her face and then she hit her head hard against the floor according to
Syracuse.com.
The case was declared a mistrial in 2013, when a woman at the same concert claimed she too felt his human touch and did not see anyone else knocked down or injured at the time. That woman says she was not hurt from the incident.
The retrial is happening now and Rick Springfield testified yesterday. According to
CNY Central, he said that if he did hurt someone, he would take responsibility for his actions.
Since the trial is ongoing, we will have to wait to find out what if any action will be taken against Springfield’s buttocks.
I learned from Hard to Hold that he has nice a$$, I just never realized it was so dangerous.
