Rocker JERRY MONTANO is suing country star\u00a0John Rich<\/a>\u00a0for assaulting him with a beer bottle in a Hollywood hotel last month (Oct08).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big + Rich singer allegedly hit the bassist with a bottle after a heated argument in the lobby of the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood got out of hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montano was treated for a broken and bloodied nose – and now he is taking legal action against Rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday (10Nov08), Montano claims that the country singer’s manager had warned him that Rich often became “extremely violent when drunk”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montano went to the star’s hotel room and it was when Rich became “increasingly violent and belligerent” over a girl that the fight broke out, according to celebrity website TMZ.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rocker is suing for unspecified damages for the “cuts, scrapes, permanent scarring, swelling, and bruising to his lips, jaw, face, teeth and nose.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
