I think Megan is going to lose in the emotional distress part. If being part of multiple VH1 reality shows doesn't cause emotional distress, a little ass
kicking certainly won't.

Being drunk at the time probably won't help her case either.

It'll settle out of court for a nominal sum that won't even put a dent in Sharon's assets and give Megan a little money to buy more bikinis. The
ones who will benefit the most are the attorneys raking in their exorbitant fees and padding the "costs." Within couple of months we'll hear
that a settlement has been reached, along with a confidentiality clause barring either party from disclosing how much was paid and any other terms of the
settlement.
With that said, though, I think it's awesome that Megan is suing the bitch. Sharon deserves to be sued and go through the hassle for resorting to immature and violent behavior. |

And the fact that she has attacked other people on the show itself and other shows could probably be brought up to rip apart Megan's case. And probably the
fact that it is a VH1 reality show and they probably have contracts that state they can't sue each other for what happens during the show. And then the
fact that it is a VH1 show and it's a ridiculous lawsuit will get it tossed out of court.

And as for the "contracts" that they signed going in they are less meant to be binding and more meant to prolong any legal actions and thus you would have deferment. Most of the time those contracts do not hold up in a court of Law. |

Megan was NOT attacked by Brandi M.

They have footage of the incident, you moron.
And a push DOES equal assault and is certainly grounds to defend yourself, not that that's relevant to this case anyway. Sharon got fired and is going to have to pay Megan |

Go Megan <33333333
Sharon just can't handle the truth, that she's an old saggy cunt and the only reason she's famous is for being the wife of a complete vegetable. Megan <33333333 |

Some of you must live in the same fantasy world Megan lives in.
Best she'll do is an out-of-court settlement, if even that. Between VH1 and Sharon herself, Sharon's lawyers should make short work of Megan's case, or at least drain her money until she can't afford to continue on. Hopefully Megan's taking this seriously, or it could really bite her in the ass. |

Sharon & Brandi M both brutally assaulted Megan and caused her emotion distress
I hope the good people of the American judicial system will make them pay! |

Mega64 wrote: Sorry, but people like you are living in the fantasy world. Sharon physically assaulted Megan on camera, thus visual proof of the crime. The assault was not in any way, shape or form self-defense. Sharon broke the law by physically assaulting someone, therefore Sharon is liable for her actions. This is a country where hitting someone with your car BY ACCIDENT can get you sued and you will have to pay damages. This is a country where a person can be walking on your property and slip and fall and sue you for damages. This is a country where a person can buy a cup of hot coffee and spill it on themselves and then sue the establishment that sold you the cup of hot coffee for damages. Sharon didn't accidently jump Megan like a rabid over-the-hill jealous rocker whore and accidently pull Megan's hair and mistakenly scratch and slap Megan. It was a purposeful act of assault. Sharon is easily proven guilty by a review of the tapes, thereby removing any "she said/she said" argument. Done deal. The only issue now is how much will Sharon agree to pay Megan to get the matter behind her and move on with her life. Legally, Megan DOES have a viable case that can and will see a courtroom if Sharon doesn't pay up beforehand. There is no law that excludes fame whores from damages when they are physically assaulted. In the eyes of the law, Megan is a victim of assault and since Sharon actually has money, Sharon is ripe to be sued as the assaulter. |

Big red ecks to what Pinot said. Love or hate Megan, there is a viable court case here. The only thing I'm not certain about is whether the contract that Megan signed to be on CS is going to come into play. We haven't seen the contract though, and I imagine it wouldn't allow contestants to sue VH1, but would allow them to sue individuals not affiliated with VH1. And does the contract even cover the reunion? All in all, if it goes to court Megan will win in at least the battery charges. It seems most likely that she won't be able to fund the lawyers to take on Sharon's though, so an out of court settlement is most likely. Hopefully Megan remains the catty bitch that she is and forces the case to court. I wonder if she'll take donations for a great lawyer??? <3 |

If the lawyers feel strongly about her case they may not even require Megan to pay them up front, they'll just offer to take a percentage of whatever
settlement she's provided. Especially in a high profile case like this.

Did the police not charge Sharon or did Megan not press Charges? I thought I remembered her not being charged. I'm not a lawyer, unlike everyone else here,
but couldn't that effect any civil proceedings?

I'd be very surprised if this didn't settle out of court for a nominal amount. Her biggest problem will be proving damages. She wasn't really injured. |

It would be amazing of Megan showed up to court in her bikini and acted like she does on these shows. I think the judge would make her pay Sharon
