HOME > Hey PaulaWoman sues 'American Idol' judge Paula Abdul for 'Hey Paula' fall
Two years later, Paula Abdul's embarassing Hey Paula reality series is continuing to haunt the American Idol judge.
Kohl -- who is reportedly suing Abdul, Bravo and NBC Universal among others -- alleges in the lawsuit that the driveway was in "dangerous and defective condition" and caused her fall.
She is seeking $25,000 in damages from the lawsuit, according to TMZ. Hey Paula, a docu-reality series that gave viewers a closer look at Abdul's professional and personal life, aired for seven episodes on Bravo during the summer of 2007. The series -- which originally seemed intended to demonstrate that Abdul wasn't as wacky as her American Idol behavior sometimes suggests -- ended up generating additional negative publicity for Abdul when it showed her engaging in embarassing diva-like behavior that she and her staff repeatedly attempted to blame on an overloaded schedule and lack of sleep. "[It]was hard for me to watch. Disturbing," Abdul told USA Today last year about Hey Paula, which she claimed presented a false portrayal of her. "They'd put a camera on me when I got wind that my dog was in a coma, and they'd make it (seem) like it was about hair and makeup." Abdul told the newspaper she felt double-crossed by show's producers and flatly refused to do a second season of the show, which she didn't have editing approval on. |
