Patricia Boughton v. Rod Stewart
Boughton attended a show of Stewart’s in 1989 at the then Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Mich. During Stewart’s show when he traditionally kicks a soccer ball into the crowd, the ball hit Boughton’s hand that allegedly resulted in a ruptured tendon in her middle finger. She sued Stewart for $75K with one of her claims being “loss of companionship.” Boughton’sthen-husband said the injury posed difficulty for them to “get into sexual activity.” The suit was later settled for $17K.
