Reps for Bret Michaels are fuming at the Tony Awards’ reaction (or lack thereof) to a half-ton stage prop coming down on the Rock of Love star’s nose!
According to the suits over at the Tonys, Michaels “missed his mark” during Poison’s performance at the awards on Sunday night, which led to a ginormous set piece dropping onto Bret’s face and fracturing the reality slut’s nose.
Janna Elias, rep for Michaels, says:
“With all due respect to everyone working the Tony Awards, somewhere down the line there was a lack of communication and the prop should have been immediately halted until Michaels was clear. Sunday morning at rehearsals, Bret was never informed that the descending set piece existed, let alone would be moving into position as he was exiting the stage.
I find it surprising that a Tony spokesperson would brush off this incident with a comment stating, Mr. Michaels missed his mark,’ with no mention of concern for his condition. If everyone at the Tonys were aware that Bret missed his mark, then they should have been aware enough to stop the set piece from hitting him or at least slowed it down until he cleared the stage. I feel had this incident happened to Liza Minneli, Dolly Parton or Elton John, the Tonys would have at least issued a letter of concern.”
They do bring up an extremely valid point!
And, hey, at least they’re not threatening to sue. YET!
Do U think the Tonys should have been more sympathetic regarding Bret’s accident???
