If you have seen either season of the VH1 reality dating show “Rock of Love,” starring washed up Poison frontman Bret Michaels (whom I am convinced is totally bald under that stupid bandanna), then you know that the “ladies” on this show enjoy getting wasted, getting naked, getting in catfights, throwing up all over the place and trashing stuff. Yes, it’s quite highbrow entertainment. Now, the owner of the $9 million mansion where the show was taped is pissed off and wants the show’s producers, including Michaels, to foot the bill for the damage.
The Poison rocker turned reality-TV lothario has been added to a breach-of-contract lawsuit filed Friday against the producers of Rock of Love by the owner of the $9 million home where they filmed the VH1 series’ second season last winter.
Ray Sahranavard claims at least $380,000 worth of damage was done to his Encino, Calif., mansion after Mindless Entertainment Inc. promised to take care of the residence and provide an additional $3 million of liability insurance for him—just in case.
According to his complaint, upon returning to his home after two months of filming, Sahranavard found holes in the walls and ceilings, the doors had been removed, most of his grass and outdoor plants had died, and the interior of the home had been almost entirely repainted.
A general contractor assessed the damage at $380,000, but then the producers attempted to distance themselves from what went on inside the house, claiming they were not aware of what Michaels was up to when not being monitored by the company, the lawsuit states. They later admitted they never obtained the extra insurance, either.
In his original suit, the disgruntled homeowner accused Mindless Entertainment of breach of contract, fraud, negligence and negligent misrepresentation. And on Wednesday, he amended the complaint to include Michaels as a defendant, also accusing the 45-year-old musician of intentional destruction of property.
Reps for Michaels and Mindless have not yet commented on the suit.
How could the producers claim to be unaware of what was going on that house when they encouraged it? Some of the crazy bitches – er, I mean contestants from last season’s show spoke about their experiences on the show and said that they were constantly being provided with alcohol and very little food at all hours of the day. I guess the producers wanted the girls to stay trashed because it makes for great drama. And I’m sure they realized after the first day that keeping 16 lowlife ex-strippers smashed for weeks is going to get messy, too. So here’s your lesson for the day, kids: if you own a multimillion dollar home, never allow it to be rented for a reality show.

when talented musicians used to trash hotel rooms back in the day, you could at least shrug and say, so they’re idiots, at least they’re talented idiots. poor bret and his strippers don’t even have that excuse.
Uhm yeah so I used to have a major crush on Bret Michaels back in the day but seeing this crap, the show, not this article per se, has completely ruined him for me.
Anyone who would consider dating these kind of trashy skanks is not worth drooling over.
And yes, I think he’s bald as hell under there. In fact, I think it’s a Brit Brit weave.
Yeah, those girls look “worn out”. And, poor Brett — can’t he find a girl without being reduced to THIS????
(I think he’s bald too)
I’ve been wondering if he finds his “rock of love” on this show, doesn’t that mean the show is over? Unless they’re going to continue filming him and his trashtastic new woman’s daily life of drama and intrigue. Kind of a nastier Newlyweds show, I guess.
After watching this show I’ve learned Brett Michaels has atrocious taste in women, for sure. Not at all sure being his “Rock” would be all that great. Except for the money of course.
While I think the producers, Bret Michaels, et al should make full restitution to the home owner, who did the owner think he was renting to? This crowd was hardly the Mormon Tabernacle Choir!
Brett Michaels wears a wig. No doubt about it. And eyeliner.
This show is enough to make you puke. It makes “Flavor of love” look like high class entertainment.
I like a campy show as much as the next person but this is so unbelievably trashy, it’s unwatchable.
I guess I’m NOT the only one who thinks that do-rag is to disguise lack of hair…lol. Aside from everything else, what is with that STUPID fake-a** southern accent he uses when he does what he passes off for singing?
This guy must have a small fortune stashed away that he DIDN”T blow on drugs to have mostly twenty-something year old women to be going after a forty something year old has been like this…not that these women are anything to write home about.
What I’ve learned, by gg.
I used to be a rock musician; however, I am a femle, which gives me a unique insight because male fans act absolutely NOTHING like the female fans.
He isn’t bald under the bandanna – he’s bald under the wig AND the bandanna.
I never heard any fake southern accent because Poison’s songs are unlistenable crap. There ain’t a decent songwriter in the bunch. They purely exist to boink strippers. They had maybe 1 charted song, which got played to death and wasn’t that brilliant. There just is not much talent there at all, just balding prettyboys. I always hated the tons of hair and makeup, yet no substance bands.
You don’t have to have a fortune to have mostly twenty-somethings (except many of them are in their 30s and beyond) clamoring to sleep with you. All you need is a wig, a bandanna and a guitar.
I love how the host of these shows always talks about MY MANSION. Okay, we all know that some poor sod homeowner is getting screwed by producers somewhere — Mindless Entertainment, no less (what, the name didn’t give you a clue??). The homes are always, re”decorated” (read: painted purple, pink and gold like a strip club) and always, always trashed. Homeowner did no research into the dating house thing?? He deserves to get screwed if he’s that stupid.
So the guy has narrowed it down to a fucking cheerleader publicity seeking type who is a fish out of water on this show, and a blow-up doll with holes for French and Greek that calls him “Brahht” and has spastic hands, a peabrain with overplucked eyebrows and a bad weave. lord.
Yet, this show is so craptastic and mockable and full of unintended clowns I make sure to never miss an episode. So there you go.
This is worst show on TV……..and i cant miss an episode of those fake titted, botoxed whores claiming undying love and trying to shag Bret Michaels……hahahaha he’s even skankier than the girls! I love the way his diabetes and the song “Every Rose…” got worked into every episode at least twice…..
Bret Michaels has ALWAYS worn eyeliner. They all did and they all still do.
Unkinny bop, all night a day . . .
Bald as a ping-pong ball, absolutely! Yeah, Brett always for eyeliner but these days its the foundation, power, mascara, blush and wig that pushed it over the edge for me. Plus, I suspect a girdle to keep his gut in check.
I’m sure you’ve noticed the practiced pootch of the lips he always assumes. He must spend a looooot of time in front of the mirror. He is attractive — but the narcissistic and misogynist (in the way of using women as boink dolls) behavior doesn’t suit anybody. but yeah, bring on the next episode … lol
I think that’s so freeking funny. Bret is bald? He’s not that attractive,even with the hat and bandana and hair… but bald? wow. I really wanted to see him with that little tiny blond, the one who lost to the bigger blond. Bret and her made a great couple. wonder what she would look like bald…
I love the show. Brett is a wonderful person and no he is not bald. He would never wear a wig, he’s not that type. That is really really bad of everyone to think that he has no hair! he is a good person, and I wish I could be on the show. If your readin this, Brett, please contact me at g.simms@usa.com
I love everything you do and i think you are fine. btw: i am much better than last season’s winnier, with bigger you know whats.
I agree with kimmie. she’s my friend, and she wouldn’t lie. Furthermore, my thingamagigs are bigger than hers.. that makes me smarter. BRETT WE LOVE YOU.
