Fan Sues Stage-Diving Skrillex

In a Superior Court complaint alleging battery and negligence, Jennifer Fraissl claims Skrillex (real name: Sonny John Moore) “negligently, recklessly and deliberately” struck her during the Feb. 11, 2012, concert at the 1,000-capacity Belasco Theatre.

Skrillex “jumped into the crowd from on top of his DJ table, elevated numerous feet from the stage itself, thereby increasing the risks inherent in jumping from a performance stage into a crowd and increasing the risks of harm to those concertgoers who he would land on,” according to the complaint. “Due to the overcrowded nature of the event, plaintiff could not reasonably avoid contact with Moore and at no point did plaintiff consent to the unwelcome contact,” according to the suit.

Fraissl seeks general, compensatory and exemplary damages and costs from defendants Skrillex, Lost Boys Touring, Belasco Entertainment Theatre and Belasco Unlimited.
