Former Bodyguard Sues Lohan

David Kim says he once worked as a bodyguard for celebrity paparazzi-magnet Lindsay lohan, and has now launched a lawsuit against her for unpaid fees regarding services rendered. He is seeking $55,000 as compensation.

Mr. Kim filed his complaint at the Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging breach of oral contract, fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and assorted state labor violations, all of which supposedly occurred in his five months of employment with Lohan.

Kim said he was hired by Lohan’s Crossheart Productions back in October 2006 at the rate of $4,000 a week round-the-clock or $2,800 a week for night shift duty. He then went on to provide protection from fans and paparazzi, served as on-call chauffeur, and even helped in securing VIP tables at concerts and clubs for Lohan and her friends.

He then asserts that all those extra services set him back $10,000 of his own money for mileage incurred, various tips, and other expenses. He then said he resigned in March 2007 after sensing that he might not be able to collect on the overdue paydays.

Lohan meanwhile, claims she never employed, or even knew, the bodyguard. Well, that should be easy enough to check. With a client as high-profile as Lindsay, there’s got to be scores of people who’ve noticed him around. Maybe a stray shot of him in the background of a Lohan photo is out there on the net right now!
