Settlement reached in lawsuit against Chad Johnson, comedy club

Staff reports

Wednesday, June 25, 2008

NEWPORT, Ky. — Days before a trial was scheduled to begin, a settlement has been reached in a lawsuit against Chad Johnson and a comedy club.

Plaintiffs have agreed to a $100,000 settlement against Bengal's wide receiver and the Funny Bone Comedy Club in Newport.

The suit claimed Johnson and the Funny Bone drew people into the club with the promise of prizes, including a car, but never delivered.

Johnson has said he's done nothing wrong, and never had an agreement with the club.

The settlement compensates 30 plaintiffs and pays attorney fees.
