Ethan Embry to Marred Model -- Deal!

"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.
Ethan Embry
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.

16. All of the Deal Girls are Sidewalk Nobodys/ Obviously looking for more cash than the minimum wage they currently get paid. This is the 4th Deal girl to sue over the past few months. If they are so injured how come they can stand in 6 inch heels for 12 hours a day.

I SMELL A RAT !!

18. She got a skent knee!!! And she got over $100,000 for it!!!!!!!!!!!! What a BITCH! KARMA will come back to get her. Even if 911 had been called and she was wisked away in an ambulance, they would have done the same thing Ethan Embry did. Clean it, put some disinfectant on it, and leave it open to air! HOW THE HELL DID THAT JUDGE RULE AGAINST HIM??? HE EITHER GOT PAID OFF OR EMBRY HAD A the most STUPID ASSED ATTORNEY in all of CA!

22. Ethan Embry played the guy that Reece W. outed in the bar while they were playing pool. He was also one of the stars of That Thing You Do. He played the band member with no name, who left to join the service. He also starred in a tv show on FOX in 2000 called Freakylinks, played a character named Derek Barnes. I liked it but it didn't last more than a few episodes. I think they even brought it back in 2001, but it didn't fly.

24. Ethan played the gay friend of Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama. I wouldn't really call him the star of the movie, but he was in it.

25. WTF? Does she not THINK for herself? Does she not know how to use a phone? SHE is responsible for HER ACTIONS. What he did is not dependant on what she COULD and SHOULD have logically done herself. CLEARLY she liked being pampered by this actor. UNBELIEVABLE

26. It's so wrong that people keep reaping the benefits from these ridiculous lawsuits because no one wants to risk going to court. Is this woman a minor and this ethan embry is her guardian or something? I'm confused as to how she was "made" to stay by the side of the road, and "forced" to have herself only treated in his bathtub. Can she not take her cellphone out of her bag and call 911 herself? Can she not call a cab and go to a hospital on her own? Although, she doesn't look like she needed a hospital at all. That scar looks just like the one I got falling off of my bike at age 8 - and I didn't have to go to the hospital. Her "scarring from shoulder to ankle" or whatever was clearly just scrapes - something that could easily be cleaned with alcohol, put some neo-sporin on it, and maybe a band-aid.

27. Hmm..lets see...they were on a motorcycle coming home from a club...ya think there might have been some mind altering compounds factoring into their decision making?? I'm sure the night that this happened she had no problem with how he handled the situation. Then she started dreaming $$dollar$$ just like all the rest of the background skanks that will never be real celebrities.

28. Actor Ethan Embry of "Vacancy" Movie Sued for 2005 Motorcycle Accident
Actor Ethan Embry, who stars in the new film "Vacancy" is being sued in a Los Angeles Superior Court by a woman who was injured while traveling as a passenger on Embry's motorcycle. The lawsuit alleges that model Angelina Roudeva was riding on Embry's motorcycle when an accident left her unconscious. Embry, the lawsuit alleges, had been drinking and instead of sending the woman to a hospital, carried her to his bathtub and poured cold water and rubbing alcohol on her wounds. Embry reportedly only took the woman to a hospital for treatment after she screamed and pleaded with him after the pain of the rubbing alcohol woke her. Roudeva's attorney claims that the model has suffered severe and permanent injuries resulting from the accident.
