DJ and EDM musician Skrillex has to pay $1.8 million as damages to a fan as ordered by the court, reports DailyMail.co.uk. A LA jury said that the fan, Jennifer Fraissl, was entitled to $4,525,402 after she claimed that she had a stroke as result of the DJs actions at The Belasco Theater almost six years ago.
Skrillex told a news outlet in the wake of the developments, “There is nothing more important to me than my fans and their safety at my shows.” Skrillex, who’s real name is Sonny John Moore, said his hope is that his fans “have fun and enjoy the music.”
But on the other hand, Barry Thompson, Skrillex’s lawyer said there was ‘video proof’ that the DJ ‘never made physical contact with’ the defendant, casting doubt on her claims of health problems.
“Ms. Fraissl’s active international travel schedule since her stroke seems unlikely for someone who suffered the type of mental and physical damages she and her attorney claimed,” Thompson said.
