Concertgoer Sues Donny Osmond After Being Hit By Giant Ball At Vegas Show

Joanne Julkowski filed a lawsuit against Donny Osmond after being struck by a lighted ball during his February 15, 2024 concert at Harrah's Las Vegas. The lawsuit, filed in Nevada's Clark County, alleges Julkowski "sustained serious injuries, including a traumatic retinal eye injury to her right eye with retinal detachment requiring surgical intervention and resulting visual impairment, as well as associated head and neck injuries." She claims the oversized illuminated balls were "designed and intended to be thrown or propelled through the audience" in the dimly lit venue without adequate safety warnings. The incident allegedly caused severe emotional distress, including "psychological trauma, fear, anxiety, PTSD, and loss of joy in life." Julkowski seeks $15,000 in medical expenses, lost wages, and punitive damages from Osmond, the venue, and related companies.
