Miguel’s Rep Denies Singer Was Warned Not to Jump During Performance

By: Amanda Anderson-Niles

More Miguel leg drop news. R&B singer Miguel is probably wishing he never leg dropped a fan during his performance at the Billboard Music Awards. Not only has the incident placed him as a target of lots of humiliation via Twitter and memes promoting the signature Hulk Hogan wrestling move he performed on a female fan standing in the front row, but he may also get slapped by a lawsuit considering the young woman might have suffered from brain damage. And if things couldn’t get more interesting, TMZ reported recently that sources close to the producers of the award show claim they actually warned Miguel against jumping during his set. However, Miguel’s camp is now telling the media that report isn’t true, and he got no warning whatsoever against making the jump. US Weekly reports:

“The reports claiming that Miguel was warned by producers not to jump are completely false.
 
“A number of attempts were made to reach Khyati and her lawyer after the performance to see how she was doing and whether any assistance could be offered. Khyati’s well-being has been and continues to be of the utmost concern to Miguel.”

Miguel also admitted recently he did think the whole incident was funny, but it appears he’s grown tired of the numerous reports surrounding the leg drop. He also took to his Twitter account the other day to possibly downplay the possibility of him being slapped with a lawsuit. Either way, the victim’s lawyer claims a suit could be filed next week once test results come in and prove brain damage is a factor.
