Celebrity Justice
Model Crashes on Cadillac Runway -- Sues

A supermodel who was featured in a 2006 Cadillac Super Bowl commercial is suing the ad agency and production company for negligence -- she says it's their fault she fell through a catwalk while filming.
cadillac lawsuit
TMZ has obtained this lawsuit filed in L.A. Superior Court, where model Ganna Makeeva claims she injured her "legs, knee, hands, wrists, stomach, head, neck and ribcage" during a commercial shoot for Cadillac. The 2006 Super Bowl video featured several models, a Caddy Escalade and celebrities like Rachel Hunter, Vida Guerra and rapper Jadakiss -- all at a fashion show.


Makeeva alleges she has already had one knee surgery, saying it is "leaving her in constant pain, and requiring her to undergo multiple surgeries to repair the damage to her body. What's a model without her body?! She claims this will likely end her career.

19. If she'd been a beefy model like Tyra, her booty would've stuck her in the hole like Winnie the Pooh, saving much injury.

21. Was that stupid video supposed to show something of substance because it didn't show a damn thing...hey TMZ don't put a video up unless you have real coverage that supports your story...people want to see the story not 20 seconds of a commercial that shows absolutely nothing...jerks...

22. Hey Bubble Gum Princess...
She didn't just fall down because of her HEELS (learn how to spell),
the FLOOR of the runway broke open and she fell through it.
So don't call HER a stupid bitch until you go back to elementary school and learn your ABC's again.
