Celebrity Justice
Jamie Foxx on Thin Ice Over Vodka Suit

Jamie FoxxJamie Foxx has been sued by a guy who got severely injured on a Vodka display and claims his dream to become a brain surgeon has been put on ice.

Here's the lowdown. Foxx hosted a party in 2007 at Social in Hollywood. William Presler says in his lawsuit he was hired to work the bar -- made completely of ice.

In the suit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Presler claims drunk guests dropped their drinks around the bar and glass shattered everywhere. He claims he tried cleaning it up but was told to leave it be. Presler says the manager preferred kicking the glass along the side of the ice bar.

At the end of the party, Presler says he slipped, fell and landed on the shattered glass, severely injuring himself. He needed 170 stitches to repair the damage to the severed nerves in his left hand.

Presler says he obtained a neuroscience degree and was forced to abandon his career to become a brain surgeon due to the damage in his left hand.

50. Just because someone is the "host" of the party doesnt mean they are responsible for everyone's welfareespecially being a celebrity host. They are there to ensure massive amounts of people will show up. It's the club/bars responsibility to be held accountable for any safety issues, as they are the ones who rent/own the building and stage the area with whatever accessories go along with the theme of the party. The host shows up, says a few words, has a few drinks with party-goers, then leaves. Frivalous and will not hold up in court.

52. Jamie Foxx is being sued because other people at the party broke glasses around the bartender. Do I have the intention of a the fraudulent law suit correct? Oh puleezeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee these lawsuits are enablers of fraud. If the bartender was so worried about the glass/ice he could have refused to work under those conditions. He could have insisted that it get cleaned up. It was the manager that kicked the fragments to the side, so it is the manager and the people that broke the glass/ice that should be sued. Total BS if you ask me. This is not good reporting Harvey.
