A bad drag show can be a painful experience, but this is on a whole other level.
A woman who visited the Tampa, FL Hamburger Mary’s is suing the restaurant, alleging physical and emotional pain at the hands of a drag queen.
Hands is the wrong word, actually. Breasts is more accurate.
Neldin Molina writes in her complaint that she went out to dinner at Mary’s with friends and family on May 30, 2015, for a birthday celebration.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
A drag queen who goes by Amanda D’Hod (or maybe not — Molina says she isn’t 100% on the name — was that a read?) allegedly started her performance by approaching Molina’s table, grabbing Molina’s head and wiggling “her breast against the Plaintiff’s face and head eight times.”
The wiggles turned to grabs, the grabs to shakes, and the shakes to pushes. Allegedly.
Molina says the chesty experience caused uncontrollable headaches and cervical pain, resulting in a trip to the emergency room at Memorial Hospital of Tampa.
She’s seeking payment for medical costs, as well as emotional and physical suffering, to the tune of $1.5 million.
“It’s not a good thing for anyone to go up to someone and perform that way,” Molina said. “There are a lot of people who have medical issues. I wasn’t aware that this was going to happen.”
The complaint also mentions that the Hamburger Mary’s location failed to warn guests of danger.

Cervical pain due to motorboating?
derek mcgillicuddy
“cervix” is the technical word for “neck.”

Commonly referred to as the cervical spine or cervical vertebrae.
The cervix is is referred to as a part of the Uterus. – the definition of cervix is as you posted is neck.

@ derek mcgillicuddy It would be interesting if the motor boating was so severe that her Uterus did actually fall out. /s
It’s also interesting that as she was going through the incredibly painful and intense act of motor boating that she was able to count how many times she was motorboat and how the intensity went from wiggles, grabs, shakes to pushes (allegedly).

Bahahaha. What a human ambulance chasing embarrassment. I hope HM sues her for legal fees, etc.

Neldin Molina should (1) pay HIM’s legal fees, (2) pay the court for wasting its time, and (3) pay the drag performer. And her lawyer should be disbarred.

Welcome to America, where anyone can sue another one for any reason.
It is a nation motivated entirely by cash, and everything has a price.
Ms.Molina’s claim appears to suggest it was HM responsibility to warn guests of danger. First, define danger, it is highly doubtful many people would think to include motorboating as requiring risk management.
The greatest danger appears to be Americans who pursue being a “plaintiff” to facilitate their financial pursuits. Ms.Molina and her frivolous claim lacks common sense as well as factual support. As well it is questionable why Ms.Molia waited 3 years before speaking of the events and potential physical and emotional pain. Certainly, claiming cervical pain as a result of motorboating sounds a bit of a stretch, similar to suggesting an earache was the result of oral sex. With such a considerable amount of time having past the least she might have done to help herself was confirm the name of the performer she is pointing fingers at. It is, however, difficult to think Ms.Molina was an unwilling participant in an event that occurred 8 times. Following the first occurrence, maybe the second but definitely following the third time it was the responsibility of Ms.Molina to request her not being included in the act.

The motor boating was not eight separate events, it probably took 10-15 seconds at most – see it on Youtube.
The woman was dead drunk at the time and she’s just recently recovered her memory of the incident. /s

Yes, anybody CAN sue anybody for anything. However that doesn’t mean the case will not get thrown out.
I’d prefer it this way than being in a system where for instance you COULDN’T bring a lawsuit against somebody dumping poison into your drinking water..
Oh wait, that’s what the GOP is trying to do right now at the EPA.

Seriously??? It’s a drag show… lewd conduct and sexual innuendo are to be expected! If I sued for everytime I was motorboated or seen a drag queen simulate a sexual act on stage – I would be a billionaire by now. I have a serious spinal condition, and it has never been aggravated by motorboating! She mentions that they should have warned her of the ‘Danger’, well perhaps she should have warned them of her ‘Medical’ condition the first time she was approached!

The saying is true, anyone can sue anyone at any time for anything. The problem is winning. In order to win, one needs to show damages, that is, money expended because of the problem. In this case, there is also one of proximate cause. This case will likely be kicked at the demurrer stage.

I went to see Flotilla DeBarge’s Christmas show years ago and felt so embarrassed for her that my friend and I decided to leave. She asked the crowd no less than twenty times during the first five minutes “how ya’ll doin’ ” and then started talking about the DJ in an unfunny manner. A few weeks later I learned she had been banned from three clubs because of her volatile temper. She can no longer perform in a club because she attacked a couple who came to her show and ended up not only doing time but also got sued. Any club owner knows they too will be sued if she attacks again and she (Flo) can’t draw that type of paying crowd to pay the insurance premium required.
I don’t know who this performer is but it just might be possible she did what she did because she didnt like the way Nadin looked at her and got a little too rough while trying to laugh it off. Either way the performer will now have this attached to the resume which means a club owner will have to contact their insurance company first before booking them. Translation, the girl is thru performing.
