Former Road Manager For Billy Ray Cyrus Sues
KENTUCKY...
A former road manager for Billy Ray Cyrus has sued the country music star for a half-million dollars over claims that he was fired because of his age.
According to the lawsuit filed Monday in Davidson County Circuit Court, Cyrus, a Flatwoods, Ky., native, complained that 61-year-old Paul A. Abraham was "old and dumb and didn't know anything about running a farm."
In addition to asking for $500,000, Abraham wants a jury to assess compensatory and punitive damages for "pain, humiliation, embarrassment and emotional distress," the lawsuit said.
