A live taping of the Disney Channel show "Good Luck Charlie" turned into a virtual S&M display ... with a female audience member getting SPANKED over and over again in front of her 2 children ... this according to a new lawsuit.
The woman behind the suit is Kellie Rodriguez ... who claims she took her kids, her sister-in-law and 3 nieces to a taping in L.A. on December 22, 2011 ... when she noticed she was being checked out by the comedian in charge of entertaining the audience, Ron Pearson. 
According to the suit, Kellie was later chosen to participate in an audience competition -- in which the contestants would perform a "silly dance" to the Village People's YMCA ... and the winner would get a prize.
Kellie claims she began to dance ... when "all of a sudden and without warning, Pearson started spanking [her] buttocks with his hands."
In the suit, Kellie continues, "The unwarranted and unconsented spanking was RELENTLESS and did not cease until [Kellie] physically turned around to stop it."
The worst part -- Kellie claims she didn't even win the dance contest.
But there's more ... Kellie claims after the competition, Pearson asked for a kiss on the cheek ... but when she went in for the peck, he turned his head at the last second and kissed her on the mouth instead.
In the suit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Kellie claims it was not only unwarranted and humiliating -- but she claims her children were sad and confused ... later asking their mommy, "Why did that man kiss you?"
Kellie wants Pearson to pay ... same with Disney, claiming the Mouse House "condoned, encouraged or ratified" the comic's behavior by employing him in the first place.
She's suing for unspecified damages. Calls to Disney and Pearson have not been returned.

Why did she not leave if she was so humiliated? Then to offer a kiss? Sounds like BS to me and a quick way to make a few $$$.
Wow, is there anything Americans won't sue over? Yes it sounds kind of inappropriate, but a lawsuit...really?
As a non-violent person, I must say that if this jerk had touched my ass, I would have flattened him. THEN sued Disney and the so-called comedian.
It sounds to be like she was put on the spot, and caught off guard. I do have to question the kiss, I would have refused and told him to "kiss off" or other words to that effect. I do believe she is humiliated, but my kids would have been more concerned over why a strange man spanked me rather then kissed me...
Totally inappropriate, and honestly is little humiliating for this mother. Disney, the Comedian and the show need to pay up... You need to be careful what situations you put people today, especially in a child-friendly event. This was sexual/aggressive adult behavior in a child zone.
Her husband is probably a lawyer. Pathetic! Woman probably hasn't been kissed since she was a child.
It wouldn't have been relentless if she stopped it right away. And her kids wouldn't have been confused is SHE hadn't "gone in for the peck" on the person that just humiliated her. She allowed things to go too far, maybe in hopes of the prize she didn't win. This crap makes me wince.
Oh, stop whining. That's so minor compared to what Linds does to the little angels on Toddlers And Tiaras. It's pretty vile.
