Massage Envy of Murray

[Lost Student]

I saw this quirky case description in my docket reports and wanted to share:


Danielle Wade; Odette Provost v. Massage Envy; John Johnson; Massage Envy of Murray

7/9/2010 2:10-cv-00633 Kimball (Central)

Action for discrimination in employment based on gender, negligent supervision, assault, battery, retaliation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. While plaintiff Danielle Wade worked for Massage Envy, the franchise owner John Johnson told her about his O.C.D., as a child. He said that when was a child his baby-sitter would "check-in" with him and she would put her feet on him and have him do things for her. He stated that it would happen about three times per week and he would pay Wade. Then Johnson told her he wanted her to "check-in" with him and that he up to $30,000 per month and buy her a BMW. Once in the office, Johnson proceeded to lie down on the floor and removed Wade's boots and said he wanted to massage her feet and smell them.Wade objected and put her boots back on and left his office. She told the other employees and Odette Provost said the same thing had happened to her. The plaintiffs filed a discrimination lawsuit and now they are asking for general and punitive damages.

Please, tell us, what kind of boots were you wearing?

I go to Massage Envy in Bountiful. To my knowledge nothing goes on out of the ordinary there. Everyone there is very nice from the receptionists to the therapists. I am glad to hear the one in Murray is not one of the ones my buddies own.

Ok, so i believe that katie lied and BYU 71 have confirmed that this is, indeed, the place that David Archuleta's dad got busted.

If I did, I didn't know I did (confirmed the place). I don't know who David Archuleta is or his Dad.

He should have just got his own massage license, and then done a free promotion with the Women's Roughstock Association.

I've seen some pretty good case descriptions in the last few years. My favorite one was when a woman sued the Wynn after she had one of her labia ripped off during a bikini wax.

I saw these ones today:

Negligence action. Plaintiff was injured when she fell down a set of makeshift stairs while volunteering on the set of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which was filming in North Las Vegas in March 2009.

Plaintiff seeks to an application for entry of judgment on a $2.3 million stipulated award against Nicolas Cage.

Plaintiff says he was not paid his severance pay after being terminated as the chef de cuisine room service.

I like the last one. That's a job to be proud of! No wonder he sued.

I hope this story has a happy ending.

I just did a motion to dismiss yesterday. A guy got arrested for contempt of court after acting off during a divorce proceedings. He's now suing the judge, the arresting officers, the county, the sheriff, everybody he can think of. I tallied up the total amount for which he is suing: one billion, two hundred twenty six million dollars.

That kind of money on the line, and they're giving it to the 1L. Tells you how good his case is.

I hope he doesn't win.
