Tennis star Nick Kyrgios SUED For Defamation By “DRUNK” Obnoxious Fan!
A woman that Nick Kyrgios had booted from his Wimbledon match for allegedly getting wasted and distracting him is now clapping back with a defamation lawsuit…
CelebnSports247.com reports that Anna Palus, a fan who was ejected from Nick’s July 10 finals match in London, released a statement Tuesday, saying she plans to take the 27-year-old Australian to court for what she claims was a damaging characterization.
What is annoying is fans think that they have a right to talk down to athletes like back in the Gladiator days. These athletes work hard to get where they are and when a fan is talking shit while someone like Kyrgios needs to concentrate, it is distracting.
She is the reason why he lost the game and now the fan is instructing her attorney to file a defamation lawsuit in court?
Give us a F’n break…she was wrong!
Kyrgios complained to the refs during his match against Novak Djokovic, saying Anna looked “drunk out of her mind” and kept talking to him while he was playing.

When asked by the chair umpire to identify the woman who was distracting him, Kyrgios famously said:
She’s the one who looks like she’s had 700 drinks.
Here Comes The Money Grab:
Anna claims she and her family suffered “very substantial damage and distress” due to the incident … and now, they’re going after Kyrgios for the alleged harm he’s caused.
The statement read:
During the course of the final, Nick Kyrgios made a reckless and entirely baseless allegation against me. Not only did this cause considerable harm on the day, resulting in my temporary removal from the arena, but Mr. Kyrgios’s false allegation was broadcast to, and read by, millions around the world.
The need to obtain vindication and to prevent [the] repetition of the allegation are the only reasons for taking legal action. Any damages recovered will be donated to charity.
Kyrgios lost the final to Djokovic in four sets.
Ultimately, Anna says she hopes Kyrgios will reflect on the harm he’s caused her and her family and offer a “prompt resolution” to address the situation.
However, Palus is ready for a legal fight if Nick refuses to meet her demands … saying:
If he is unwilling to do this, I am committed to obtaining vindication in the High Court.
We don’t care who she is, she NEEDS to shut up at a Tennis match.
