Miguel’s Leg Drop Victim, May Have Sustained Brain Damage From Accident

Miguel-legdrop victim-possible brain injury-lawsuit-the jasmine brand

What started off as a funny moment has turned serious–very quickly. As you recall, during the recent Billboard Music Awards, R&B singer Miguel accidentally drop kicked a woman in the crowd, accidentally. The girl’s name is Khyati Shah and according to TMZ, she suffered serious trauma from the incident. In fact, her symptoms are consistent with brain damage, the victim’s lawyer (Vip Bhola) explains.

Some of the difficulties she’s experiencing are cognitive in nature and lead to suspicion of a neurological head injury.

While her attorney says BMA responded to the accident with a pathetic gesture, an ice pack designed to soothe a bruised elbow, he says his client should have been rushed to the hospital. Reportedly, they are waiting for test results from a neurologist. When the results are in — sometime next week —  Khyati will decide if a lawsuit will be executed. Immediately after the accident, Miguel was very apologetic, saying:

The natural inclination is to make sure everyone around you is okay right? But then it’s like the show must go on, which is like professionalism, so that kicks in. As soon as the cameras are off I’m like running to the girl, making sure she’s okay, ‘let me take her to the infirmary, let me talk to her, are you okay?’

Miguel has not yet commented on the possibility of a lawsuit. Stay tuned.

    Ha…well who didn’t see this coming? Well I hope this doesn’t come out the wrong way but good thing it wasn’t a “black person”… or the next thing we’d be hearing from Miguel is something about blacks suing him. Hey Miguel, good luck with that. And in all seriousness, I hope that the young lady is alright.

    Can you say KARMA!!!! I hope the young lady will be okay. If someone drop kicks you in the head you are bound to have some type of trauma.

    From watching the re-runs the force he came down on her head as it hit the stage- she very well could have suffered a closed-head injury (brain damage). The neurology report will tell all, but if MBA are smart, they will request their own independent evaluation.

    I can’t believe Miguel’s team or even Miguel didn’t insist she go to the hospital to get checked out! A lot of times we think were okay and carry on when it comes to an injury not realizing the seriousness of it…it takes another person telling you you need to go to the hospital!

      That’s true. I’ve hurt myself before, but didn’t realize it later, until a friend forced me to go to the hospital. I think she was just caught up in the moment, being backstage, getting Miguel’s attention, media swarming around her, she probably didn’t realize it.
