THE 
June 19, 2008 Woman: Thong Caused Me An Eye Injury
A woman is suing Victoria’s Secret after she claims one of their thongs caused her an eye injury! Watch the video from the Today show above to hear her & her lawyer tell the story of the defective underpants. What I don’t understand is why she is suing now, over a year later after the initial incident! Love muffins, thoughts?

As her lawyer stated they started the process earlier so it was not that they just decided to sue a year later. Good for her, regardless of whether or not people think it’s stupid that she’s sueing over a thong, she was seriously injured and she needs to be compensated for that. I’m glad that her lawyer spoke for her though, I wouldn’t have taken her seriously if she tried to speak for her self, she seemed to be lacking in that department.

Ridiculous…
I would only hold them accountable for paying her medical bills.
The lawyer’s excuses like “they included metal parts and they’re positioned toward a stress area” or whatever is irrelevant.
She didn’t have to choose to buy the thing…
And I agree with Diane… thank goodness her lawyer spoke for her she sounded completely incompetent.

She wore it twice before it happened. I wouldn’t expect a pair of panties with any pieces of metal like that to last very long anyway. I don’t think Vickie’s is the one to blame.

I’m calling Bullshit. Undies like that aren’t meant to be kept very long and need to be cared for specially. Can’t sue the company for normal wear & tear. Next

This is some pure TRUMPFOOLERY right here. I can’t believe this chick is suing over a thong. She is not the first person to have a cute thong blow up in her face (literally). People will sue over anything these days. LOL @ her lawyer…he could barely keep a straight face!! Yeah, give her a gift card and leave it at that. NEEEXXXXTTTT!!!

LMAO, at “It went by so fast.” They should pay her for pulling this stunt, simply because she made an ass out of herself. LOL And has the nerve to have a lawyer and what not for some draws?………………….. look if it don’t fit, don’t force it.

I too am glad her lawyer spoke for her ’cause homegirl doesnt seem to be all there. VS should pay for her medical expenses but thats it. She chose to buy the thong. ROTFL @ if the thong was the right size.

this retard thoroughly embarrassed herself. a freakin year later? not even that the only way that metal thing could have hit her in the eye is if she pulled it back like a sling shot and let loose on her face. lol!
this is freakin ridiculous. meredith had to ask the lawyer three freakin times how much money he was suing for before he gave a straight answer.
this is the dumbest shit i’ve ever heard of. and something is definitely wrong with ole girl because she is not all there. the lawyer looked like he wanted to laugh because after being interviewed on national tv he probably became aware of how stupid this shit sounds. wow………

I agree that it seems ridiculous, but if she did sustain an injury she should be compensated in some way. I will also agree that she is a little nutty and needs keep her mouth closed at ALL TIMES! Meredith didn’t remain professional,as a journalist you are not supposed to be bias. Clearly she showed that she felt it was pure monkey doodle mess!

I try not to judge a person’s character when I don’t personally know them. However, first impressions are everything. You have this woman who knows that she is going to be on a world-wide morning news show. She comes on looking like who did it, why did they do it, where did they run after they did, and did they do it alone. She was not dressed to impress people to take her seriously. Her lawyer done ALL the talking. She would’ve had a stronger claim if she hadn’t waited so long. Shoot, in that case, I want to sue VS too. I bought an underwire bra from them and after about a year and a few washes, the wire poked through the material and scraped my skin….dammit I want $750,000….for my pain and suffering.

HER FAT ASS CAUSED THE THONG TO BREAK, IF NO ONE ELES HAS REPORTED THE SAME MALFUNCTION THEN SHE SHOULD NOT RECEIVE 25,000 DOLLARS, BUT SHE SHOULD TAKE HER THONG UP A SIZE

What I’d like to know is how the heck did the metal piece hit her in the eye? Isn’t the metal piece way down below. I think she was wearing the thong over her head.
RL
June 20, 2008 at 9:28 am
Even better the metal piece is located in the back… She’s just another consumer trying to make a buck…

R.A.S.Berry, i can relate to the underwire situation. lol!
i agree that meredith has to remain unbiased in her profession but damn, to her defense it had to be hard as hell not to have it written all over her face that she thought this was some monkey doodle foolishness. LOL! i probably would have just went to a commercial and been like “i can’t do this” and just walked of set. LOL!!! would have pulled a bill o’reilly on inside edition….. “fucking interview sucks!!”
ha! i’m playin

This is silly pure and simple. They did mention that they started precedings “earlier” but wasn’t that only like a month ago?? And like someone else said we’ve all had some underwears break/come apart or whatever and we don’t sue. If she was blinded or something than yeah maybe she has a case but was she really, really injured? (IDK)

Ouch I just bumped my head on the wall. I’m sueing my landlord, and the people who builded the apartment building.
come on now people are so greedy that they would sue a damn fly for buzzing in their ear if they could get money.
