Fan Sues Jonas Brothers After Being Crushed at Concert (VIDEO)
A fan is suing the Jonas Brothers after claiming she was crushed by a mass crowd of fanatical fans waiting to see the popular group. The fan has claimed that the squeeze caused her serious emotional as well as physical injuries.
Ashleigh Johnson has decided to bring the lawsuit against the Jonas Brothers after the incident at a concert by the band at The Grove in Los Angeles in May 2010.
The concert that day took place in the afternoon, and Johnson has claimed in her lawsuit that the crowd became excited and there was a big push, which pinned her up against the guard fence, according to celebrity news website TMZ.
The crush was so bad that Johnson claims that she suffered serious emotional and physical injuries, which she believes she should be compensated for by the band.
