Celebrity Justice
Woman Trips Out During "Deal or No Deal," Sues

Deal or No DealIf you thought watching an episode of "Deal or No Deal" was painful, try being in the audience!

A woman is suing the production company behind the hit game show, after she tripped and fell down a flight of steps during a taping in February, 2006.

According to the lawsuit,obtained by TMZ, Judy Ann Myers claims that during a commercial break, the show's stage manager instructed her to "hurry up and come down" the stairs to perform in an audience dance contest. As Myers hurried to the stage, she claims to have completely wiped out, suffering "great and considerable personal injuries" all over her body. In the suit, Myers blames her bad trip on bad lighting -- and that there were no hand rails on the stairs.

Now Myers is asking a judge for more than $25,000 to heal her wounds. Better call the banker, Howie!

Calls to reps for "Deal or No Deal" were not immediately returned.

16. She'll be alright. Apparently she needs to be 8 months again, so her mom can teach her how to walk.

17. Perhaps some of you should go back and read the actual suit - It clearly states by the boxes that have been checked amount is to exceed 25,000. Not that she is only sueing for 25,000. It also, states loss wages, pain and suffering, so on and so on. Didn't really see too much on medical bills in there.

18. FORGET SUING, TELL THEM TO PUT YOU ON THE GAMESHOW AND YOU COULD PROBABLY WALK AWAY WITH MORE THAN $25,000

THAT IS WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE, LOL.

21. Give the fabulous moolah to the lady who fell down the stairs and is suing Deal Or NO Deal for no guardrails and poor lighting at the studio.

22. COME ON. So you're saying everytime I'm retarded and fall down I should sue. This is the reason the world is so messed up. She should get nothing, and if it goes to court she should pay all court costs for both parties for being a greedy and trying to get money that shes dosen't deserve. If she wants money, get a job and earn it ( she probably has no degree and works flipping burgars). She deserves nothing.

23. I wonder if she'll use the $25,000 to brighten up her property at the trailer park.

28. Can anyone tell me why Howie Mandel shaved off all of his hair all off. He looks absolutely ridiculous and I just can't take him seriously. He had a nice head of curly hair. He seems to be trying to act and look like someone he's not. No longer a fan, bring back the old Howie!!!! Please and get rid of this imposter!

29. I think this woman is as "dumb as a fox."

I think she set up this entire "fall" to receive a payment.

She probably figures that since they are giving away money, she wants to make sure that she gets some $$$$$

They should have a private investigator watch her every move, and see how her "great and considerable personal injuries" really are effecting her. Once she gets her money she will have a miracle cure.

30. I just noticed that Howie has the ugliest color for eyes that I have ever seen.
