BLACK EYED PEAS are being sued by a female employee who claims she was injured while working on one of their shows.
Winter Sumpter has taken legal action against the band and said during a rehearsal for the band's show in Burbank, California in 2007, she fell through a flight of stairs when "one of the treads became detached".
According to documents obtained by TMZ.com, Sumpter claims that she suffered "severe and permanent injuries" and was left with "mental, physical and nervous pain and suffering".
She is suing the Black Eyed Peas, BEP Touring and others for unspecified damages.
