Johnny Knoxville Sued For $3 Million For Allegedly Tasing Segment Producer On TV Series ‘The Prank Panel’

Jackass star Johnny Knoxville is being sued for negligence and battery by TV producer Daniel Curry over an incident that occurred in 2022 involving a Taser. 

According to a complaint filed through the Los Angeles County Superior Court, while Curry was working as a segment producer on the ABC series The Prank Panel, Knoxville allegedly “chased down and tased” him without any provocation. Knoxville was co-hosting the show with Eric Andre

Curry now claims that the incident had caused him to experience “freezing, losing all motor skills and collapsing with his entire body in a rigid and tense state.” He also claims he broke his fibula and tore a ligament. Curry revealed that at least 25 people witnessed the incident. 

Curry also charges that the companies ABC Signature and Jimmy Kimmel’s production company, Kimmelot, “collectively acted to ‘blacklist'” him after the incident, which negatively impacted his career. 

Curry is seeking $1.75 million for loss of earnings, $950,000 for compensatory and general damages and an additional $300,000 for special and incidental damages.

Knoxville recently spoke to uInterview about his new film, Sweet Dreams, about a recovering alcoholic. 

He remembered a particularly emotional part of his experience on set, “My oldest daughter worked on the movie, and whenever I had lines with my movie daughter, my real daughter would read the lines, and it would just break me every time. I was divorced from her mom around the same age as the little girl in the movie, so it was a lot to try and get through those scenes.”
