Ethan Embry to Marred Model -- Deal!

Posted Mar 19th 2008 6:08PM by TMZ Staff

"Sweet Home Alabama" star Ethan Embry has settled a nearly year-long legal case with a "Deal or No Deal" model who had sued him for allegedly leaving her by the side of the road after a motorcycle accident -- and not calling 911 immediately.

TMZ has learned that Embry agreed today to a "six-figure" settlement with Angelina Roudeva, one of the leggy suitcase-handlers on "DoND," avoiding a trial that was to begin today. Roudeva had claimed in a 2007 lawsuit that she was scarred from shoulder to foot after being thrown from Embry's motorcycle after they rode it back from Club Nationale back in 2005. What's more, Roudeva claimed that rather than call 911, Embry left her by the bike, and tried to treat her in his bathtub with cold water and rubbing alcohol.

At the time of the lawsuit, the actor's lawyer had filed papers denying all charges. A message left with his agent today was not returned.

6. Who is Ethan Embry? What show was he on? We have never heard of the dude, and he definitely shouldn't be your 'lead' story.

7. All I can say Is "What" a bathtub and rubbing alcohol sounds like a scean from a Rob Zombie movie. she doesn't look that scarred, AND It couldn't have been that bad it didn't stop DOND from hiring her.

10. If you willingly ride on motorcycle you should be prepared for the consequences if there is an accident. No one forced her to get on the back of the bike. She was looking for $$$$$$$$$$

11. Hey Alex, they are all "lead" stories if you hadn't noticed. And after 2 more "lead" stories it will be third. Get it retard? Ethan has been acting for over 20 years or close to it, so some of "we" have heard of him.

12. Could she not go to the hospital or call 911 herself? Was she being held captive by him? Personal responsibility? I don't understand this situation.

13. As Amy Sedaris has always said, we really need to set up a PETA for people.

14. so this dumb twit couldn't call 911 herself?

15. I would think that if your a model and earn a living showing off your body in skimpy outfits , you would think twice about gettting on a motorcycle without some kind of protective gear. Brainless bimbo with a limp wrist since she didn't dial 911 herself.
