Playboy Enterprises has agreed to a settlement with a woman who claims she was injured when a co-host of The Playboy Morning Show hit her in the buttocks with a golf club. The incident occurred at the Playboy Golf Finals in 2012.
Elizabeth Dickson laid on her stomach so Kevin Klein, co-host of Playboy's radio show, could put a tee between her butt cheeks and hit a golf ball off it. According to the complaint, Klein "struck plaintiff on the buttocks, causing her injuries and damages." Here's a graphic photo of the injury.
From the Homewood-Flossmoor Patch:
Attorneys for Playboy maintained in their court papers that Dickson signed releases beforehand agreeing to not hold the company liable for any legal claims associated with her taking part in the event.
"Dickson was not required to or forced to participate in this contest or event," Playboy's attorneys stated in their court papers.
Dickson will suffer pain, suffering, worrying and anxiety as a result of her injuries, the suit stated.
The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
