Amber Rose is headed to court after alleging a New Year's Eve celebration at an exclusive Beverly Hills social club ended with a trip to the emergency room.
According to People, the model and media personality has filed a lawsuit against members-only club Gravitas, its operator Moxie Restaurant Ventures, and Celios Designs, claiming a large suspended holiday ornament broke loose and struck her in the head during the club's 2024 New Year's Eve festivities.
The complaint, filed July 21 in Los Angeles County Superior Court, states Rose was seated in a booth beneath oversized decorative spheres when "without warning, the suspended sphere detached and fell onto Plaintiff's head."
The lawsuit maintains Rose "neither touched nor controlled the sphere or its mounting system and did not cause or contribute to its fall." Instead, she alleges the impact left her suffering immediate "head, neck, visual, vestibular, and neurologic symptoms," including dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, confusion, neck pain, and a brief loss of consciousness or altered awareness before she was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Rose says the incident resulted in a concussion and a series of ongoing health issues, including headaches, vertigo, memory and concentration problems, cervical tenderness, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, emotional distress, and difficulty performing everyday activities.
She argues the oversized ornament posed "a concealed and unreasonable risk of serious injury" if it was not properly "designed, attached, secured, tested, inspected, maintained, and, where reasonably required, backed by an appropriate secondary restraint."
As a result, Rose is seeking damages covering medical care, rehabilitation, lost income, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Her attorneys signaled they hope to resolve the dispute outside of trial but are prepared to litigate if necessary.
"Ms. Rose's legal team remains focused on achieving a prompt, professional, and appropriate resolution of this matter," attorney Michelle Seañez and Fernando Vega, Head of Strategy and Operations at VS Trial Counsel, said in a joint statement. "Our preference is to resolve the dispute efficiently and constructively in a manner that fully protects Ms. Rose's rights and interests."
The lawsuit marks the latest headline in a year that has already kept Rose in the public conversation. Earlier this year, she drew widespread attention after taking aim at Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish during a livestream, criticizing their anti-ICE activism and questioning celebrities who encourage fans to skip work in protest.
"It was f*cking Ariana Grande... she's worth like $250-300 million, telling people not to go to work," Rose said. "It's like, girl, shut the f*ck up. Are you going to give your money to these people so they can stay home from work?"
