Rock loses wafflehouse fracas lawsuit
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 20 September 2010
Kid Rock lost the civil lawsuit he was fighting in the US state of Georgia last week. As previously reported, the lawsuit related to a fracas the rocker and his entourage got into with one Harlen Akins at a wafflehouse near Atlanta back in 2007.
Rock, real name Robert Ritchie, had already served 80 hours community service in relation to the altercation, and now Akins was suing for damages. Rock argued that Akins had provoked him and his posse into the bust up, and that the claimant was nowhere near as severely beaten as he claimed. But the judge hearing the case ruled Rock et al had been at fault and ordered the six defendants to pay Akins $40,000 in damages, with Ritchie to pay at least $6000 himself.
