Boy George 'Assaulted': Singer's Eye Injured During Club Scuffle

Boy George 'Assaulted': S...ub Scuffle

Chris Jackson, Getty Images

Eighties pop icon and "Karma Chameleon" Boy George was apparently "assaulted" in a U.K. night club during the weekend of March 31, Contactmusic reports. The Culture Club frontman revealed the news via his Twitter account, posting a picture of his messed-up eye along with the caption, "Looking pretty after being assaulted on Saturday night! Nice!"

The picture has since been removed for unknown reasons, but George did leave up a tweet about his stylist that said, "Poor Christine having to make up only one eye after an incident in a club last night I have on big bruised eye! Sweet!"

In a message to a fan, George explained, "Someone pulled off my hat and in the struggle to get it back I got poked in the eye!" His makeup artist was thoughtful enough to add a Union Jack patch to a p...sunglasses.

In other Boy George news (we knew you needed more) the singer posted a cover of Lana Del Rey's internet hit, "Video Games" to his Twitter account.

He's kind of old to be fighting in the club aint he?

He's kind of old to be wearing those stupid hats.

I bet his eye was messed up even before the scuffle cuz lord knows his makeup is a hot ass mess.

Looks to me like this wasn't George's fault...

Boy George Suffers Black Eye After Nasty Nightclub Attack

Alexis L. Loinaz, eonline
Seconds ago

"Do you really want to hurt me?" Boy George once sang.

Indeed, someone did.

The singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd, was allegedly assaulted outside a club in northeast England on Saturday, leaving the one-timeCulture Club frontman with a nasty black eye.

And the singer's got cold, hard proof: his own twitpics of the injury!


Per the Daily Mail , the singer was leaving the Amadeus nightclub in North Yorkshire Saturday night when the injury occurred.

The paper reports that according to the star's spokesman, "George was leaving the club when…a drunken and aggressive woman lunged for his hat and in doing so hit him in the eye.'

The woman was then asked to leave the club, but the singer reportedly refused to press charges.

He did, however, chronicle the whole fracas on Twitter.

"Looking pretty after getting assaulted on Saturday night," he wrote, attaching a twitpic of his bruised eye. (The tweet has since been deleted.)


He also added , "Someone pulled off my hat and in the struggle to get it back I got poked in the eye!"

The injury, though, didn't stop the star from carrying on with style: He got some help from someone in his entourage, who outfitted him in a chic pair of glasses with the Union Jack covering one of the lenses.

"The genius of Christine! One eye Joe! I have a gig so had to be clever! Quite Left Eye innit!," he tweeted .

Glad to hear, George. Now, please keep an eye out for peeps looking to poke your eye out!

A page from the "old Hollywood" playbook about maintaining some degreee of privacy would be nice - why post that shit picture? I personally don't want to see this kind of shit about somone who was so important to such a formative time period in my life. I did, however, appreciate in his autobiography when he referred to "the coppers" chasing after him when he was doing all the heroin. But that was written cleverly, with a buffer of time from the actual events. I always thought that The Coppers would be a great second band name for George.

I don't understand how it's George's fault if someone tries to steal his hat.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

As timmy mentioned this isn't the first time he has been bruised up at a party. And we all know George is a major queen let's just say it lol so i am sure it wasn't done for no reason:P

Naw that's been George's style for 30 years now. lol I regret not being around as a teen in the '80s because he definitely would've been one to fawn over and I would've thought he was a girl. lol He was sure a pretty man though. I still love him though, fuck it. cool
