A lady in Akron, Ohio is suing MAGA cult member Hulk Hogan and his Real American Beer brand for alleged negligence after being struck by a beer can at a promotional event held at Thirsty Cowboys on August 19, 2024.
Michelle Harlukowicz, the plaintiff, claims that she was attending the event to see the disgraced legend when an unopened can of beer was tossed into the gang, striking her within the brow. The impact caused an open wound that required 10 stitches to shut. Her attorney, Eric Tayfel, described the injury as “pretty big,” and noted that Harlukowicz will likely suffer everlasting scarring consequently.
“It’s unconscionable to think that you simply’re going to go to a bar to see a celeb and find yourself being pelted with a can of beer,” Tayfel told Fox 8.
The lawsuit, filed on February 10, 2025, alleges that Hogan and other unnamed promoters were encouraging the gang by tossing free cans of beer to advertise Real American Beer, which is a sponsor of WWE. The suit claims that either Hogan or one in every of the opposite promoters threw the beer can, resulting in the injury.
Medina Township Police responded to the incident, but no charges were filed as officers were unable to find out who threw the can.
Harlukowicz is in search of damages to cover medical expenses, pain and suffering, and emotional distress related to the incident.
Real American Beer, a brand affiliated with WWE, has yet to comment on the lawsuit.
