Live Nation is firing back
at the guy who sued the
concert company over a
taping of “Making the
Band” in 2008 — claiming
if he really did get hit in
the stomach with a
microphone, it’s Diddy
and MTV’s fault … not Live
Nation’s.Live Nation filed
a response to Kevin
Faraday’s lawsuit in New
York Supreme Court –
denying its involvement
with an injury Kevin claims
he suffered in the crowd
at the Hammerstein
Ballroom, where “Making
the Band” was being
taped.According to Kevin’s
lawsuit, some guy ran on
stage, grabbed a
microphone, and
somehow hit him in the
abdomen with it.Kevin is
suing a comically long list
of defendants over the
incident — including
Diddy, MTV, Live Nation,
and about a dozen other
people and companies –
but Live Nation insists
they’re
innocent.According to LIve
Nation, if Kevin did
actually hurt himself … it
was probably his own
fault — but Diddy, MTV,
and others also had an
obligation to prevent this
kind of thing from
happening … and they
failed to uphold it.Live
Nation wants Kevin’s
lawsuit dismissed.
