Eminem, who has been taking it easy and staying out of the spotlight, is being sued by a fan who alleges that the rapper punched him in the bathroom of a strip club two years ago. The alleged assault took place July 13^th, 2006 at Cheetah’s on the Strip Gentlemen’s Club.

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Miad Jarbou, claims that Jabou and a friend of his saw Eminem in the bathroom of the strip club, using one of the urinals. His friend spoke to the rapper and Eminem’s sercurity told him to “shut the *#*# up”. For whatever reason, Jarbou felt that he had to stand up for his friend, so he decided to put in his two cents worth, saying to the bodyguard, “Hey man, my friend ain’t starting trouble. It’s just cool to see Eminem.” What happend next, acording to the lawsuit, is that Eminem stepped away from the urinal and “without warning or provocation drove his fist in a violent punching manner” straight into Miad’s face.

Now, while I sure do not condone violence of any kind, I also don’t think it’s such a wise idea to approach a rapper, especially one who is known somewhat for his violent ways, while he is using an urinal. The only one who should approach Eminem in the bathroom of a strip club is a stripper.

Miad Jarbou is suing for more than twenty five thousand dollars in damages, stating that he has “undergone physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, ongoing serious injuries requiring medical treatment, embarrassment, humiliation, medical expenses (and) wage loss.”

Eminem has not issued a statement and it is unclear why Jarbou waited two years before filing the lawsuit. Maybe he needed to get up the nerve to let the whole world know he was stupid enough to approach a celebrity while they were relieving themself.
