Playboy Model Liz Dickson Sues Magazine After ‘Golf Tee In Butt’ Stunt Goes Wrong

Liz Dickson, a model who appeared at the 2012 Playboy Golf Finals, is suing the infamous publication after a golfing stunt went awry.

It has been alleged that a golfer trying to drive a ball from a tee that had been placed between Dickson’s buttocks actually ended up whacking her instead. The incident took place at the Industry Hills Golf Club in Los Angeles on March 30, 2012,

According to TMZ, Dickson is now trying to sue for battery and negligence, and she is seeking $500,000 plus punitive damages. The golfer who embarrassingly missed the shot has been named as Kevin Klein, a Playboy Morning Show radio host.

Further details surrounding the incident have also materialized, and they note that Dickson was instructed to lay on her stomach and pose for a photo with Klein, whose show is simulcast on radio and cable TV. The lawsuit states that she agreed to have the image taken of her lying on her stomach “with her buttocks partially exposed.”

Klein’s swing must have been painfully average though because he only succeeded in hitting Dickson’s buttocks, rather than his intended target. The case notes that Klein missed the tee and “struck the plaintiff on the buttocks, causing her injuries and damages.”

It seems as though the 2012 Playboy Golf Finals were supposed to be a time of celebration for Dickson. According to a Facebook post, Dickson had previously been named 2011’s “Girl of Playboy Golf Winner,” a crown that she was always unlikely to defend after the golfing tragedy.

This post, which dates back to 2011, also states, “Liz is from Traverse City, Michigan, and when not modeling, works at Stingers in Wixom. When not spending time with her son, Liz likes to shop, see her friends, have fun and act silly. Liz enjoyed meeting the Playmates at the Playboy Golf Tournament and made several new friends.”

Unfortunately, it would appear as though these friends weren’t present at the 2012 event to warn her against allowing a radio DJ to use her buttocks as a driving range.

Playboy have yet to comment on the matter.
