While most fans want to dive into the concert experience, one Donny Osmond fan got more than she expected at one of his shows—and is now suing the singer.
During a 2024 show at Harrah's Las Vegas, concertgoer Joanne Julkowski alleges she was "suddenly and forcefully struck in the back of the head by one of the lighted balls that had been thrown or propelled into the crowd," according to court documents obtained by Entertainment Weekly.
As a result, Julkowski filed a lawsuit in Nevada's Clark County, where she alleges that she "sustained serious injuries, including a traumatic retinal eye injury to her right eye with retinal detachment requiring surgical intervention and resulting visual impairment, as well as associated head and neck injuries," which "required [her] to obtain extensive medical care."

She also said she now faces lost wages and the inability to make a living.
In addition to Osmond, Donny Osmond Concerts, Inc., and Harrah's are listed as defendants in the lawsuit. In court documents, Julkowski alleges that the venue could have done more to protect patrons from poor lighting. "Therefore reducing visibility for patrons and limiting their ability to perceive, track, and avoid the oversized, lighted balls moving through the crowd; and there were no adequate warnings, instructions, or safety measures communicated to patrons regarding the presence, use, or hazards of the balls."
Julkowski is accusing Osmond of putting her life in danger. "The oversized lighted balls used during the concert were designed and intended to be thrown or propelled through the audience while illuminated, and when so used, were capable of causing injury to concertgoers upon forceful impact," according to court docs. Julkowski is suing for monetary damages of $15,000 to cover previous and future medical costs, lost wages and future wages, attorney expenses, plus punitive damages.
