Miguel’s Hilarious Leg Drop Caused Brain Damage?

We’re sure you all remember the hilarious video (with slo-mo) of singer Miguel taking a poor girl out with his leg. He jumped off the stage during his performance at the Billboard Music Awards and didn’t exactly land the way he expected. Instead of clearing the group of screaming fans, he landed a little short and nearly took some poor girl’s head off!

The video went viral and we all had a good laugh at it. Well, it now appears that the situation might not be all that funny after all. Khyati Shah is the girl in the video and she claims that she might have brain damage from the incident! Sources are telling TMZ that it’s very possible she has some kind of brain damage from the hit.

“Some of the difficulties she’s experiencing are cognitive in nature and lead to suspicion of a neurological head injury.”  The girls’ attorney told TMZ. She also said that officials at the show didn’t seem concerned about the incident at the time. They didn’t offer to take her to the hospital to get checked out. She was only offered an ice pack.

Khyati is about to have an exam and she may file a lawsuit depending on what the results of the exam show. We’re not sure if she would file it against Miguel, or the people behind the awards…who knows. We’ll keep you updated, though.

You know, I was planning on talking about how ridiculous this is, and how this girl is just money hungry. However, after watching the video a few hundred times (it’s hilarious) it really does look like she hit her head pretty damn hard. I’m no expert, but it certainly seems like that impact could indeed cause some kind of damage. At the very least, she should have been checked out by someone at the event. Take a look at a GIF of the leg drop below…
