Sanitation worker DeAngelo Bailey sued Eminem for $1 million
Time: 2001
Place: Michigan, U.S.
Details: Sanitation worker DeAngelo Bailey sued Eminem for $1 million in 2001, accusing him of invading his privacy by publicizing information placing him in a false light in "Brain Damage", a song which portrays him as a violent school bully. Although Bailey admitted picking on Eminem in school, he said he merely "bumped" him and gave him a "little shove". The lawsuit was dismissed on October 20, 2003; Judge Deborah Servitto, who wrote a portion of her opinion in rap-like rhyming verse, ruled that it was clear to the public that the lyrics were exaggerated.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
