Britney’s Work Bitch music video was released in October last year
Los Angeles:
A backup dancer has sued singer Britney Spears for allegedly breaking her nasal bone during rehearsals for the Work Bitch music video. She has said that the Oops I did it again crooner didn't pay for any medical bills either.
The injury took place during the filming of Spears' music video on August 19, 2013 in Woodland Hills, California. (Also Read: Britney to get married in Hawaii)
The dancer, Dawn Noel, filed the lawsuit on May 5, in which she claims her injury required surgery for a nasal bone fracture and that she had to pay the medical bill even though Spears' team promised to cover all expenses, reports tmz.com.
Dawn reportedly said herself and the other dancers perfected the choreography hours before Spears' arrival, but when the Toxic singer showed up she was "in a disheveled and confused state."
Spears allegedly had great difficulty executing the dance routine and when she twirled while unbalanced, her hand hit Dawn in the face very hard.
According to the dancer, the force of the impact was so great, everyone in the room apparently heard a cracking sound.
"I'm sorry," she said before continuing with rehearsals. Noel could only withstand the pain for another 30 minutes and reportedly visited a doctor to examine the injury.
"The diagnosis was a nasal bone fracture which allegedly needed surgery," said Spears.
Britney's representative and the Reign Deer Entertainment Company promised to take care of all medical bills, but after being told the bills will not be paid for, the dancer decided to go ahead with the lawsuit.
