An Amber Rose lawsuit was filed Tuesday, July 21, in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County, and it alleges that a suspended holiday ornament fell on her head while she sat in a booth at Gravitas in Beverly Hills on New Year’s Eve 2024. The club sits on Camden Drive.
According to the complaint, Rose was seated underneath a cluster of decorations described as solid, oversized decorative spheres, one of which was suspended directly above her. The filing states that without warning the sphere detached and fell onto her head. She says the impact briefly knocked her unconscious.Rose went to Cedars-Sinai to be examined, and the complaint says doctors found a significant hematoma along with a sore neck and other injuries. She reported headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, confusion, and neck pain in the immediate aftermath.
What moves this from an incident report to a serious filing is what the Amber Rose lawsuit claims happened next. Rose alleges her memory and concentration were affected, and that she has continued to experience headaches, dizziness and vertigo, imbalance, visual disturbance, and neck pain and stiffness, along with anxiety, irritability, emotional distress, fatigue, and a reduced tolerance for ordinary activities. The complaint also describes disrupted sleep and difficulty with processing, and says the symptoms have impaired her ability to work and drive. She states in the filing that her physical, mental, and emotional health symptoms have persisted and have affected her daily life.
Rose, who filed under her legal name Amber Rose Levonchuck, is pursuing a negligence based claim and seeking unspecified compensatory damages covering medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering.She is not suing only the venue. The lawsuit names Gravitas, Moxie Restaurant Ventures, which operates the club, and Celios Designs, which the complaint says was responsible for installing the large ornaments. Rose alleges that Moxie and Celios oversaw the spheres and failed to properly inspect the oversized decor. Naming the installer alongside the operator widens the pool of potential liability, and it means the question of who inspected the mounting hardware and when becomes central rather than incidental.
The complaint argues that the ornaments presented a concealed and unreasonable risk of serious injury unless they were competently designed, attached, secured, tested, inspected, maintained, and where reasonably required, backed by an appropriate secondary restraint. That last phrase is the sharpest part of the filing. A secondary restraint is the backup cable or safety tether that keeps a rigged object from reaching the floor when its primary mount fails, and it is standard practice in event production and lighting rigging for anything hung above where people sit. If the filing can establish that no backup was in place, the argument shifts from an unlucky accident to a foreseeable failure.
The complaint also includes a line stating that Rose neither touched nor controlled the sphere or its mounting system and did not cause or contribute to its fall. That language exists to close off the most obvious defense in a New Year’s Eve incident at a nightlife venue, which would be an argument that the guest did something to dislodge the decoration.
TMZ obtained the lawsuit and People obtained the filing this week. Both outlets reached out to Gravitas and Celios Designs. A Gravitas representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Rose has not addressed the filing publicly, and no ruling has been issued.
The gap between the incident and the filing is roughly 18 months. California gives personal injury plaintiffs two years from the date of injury to file, which puts a New Year’s Eve 2024 incident comfortably inside the window with time to spare. Long delays in personal injury cases are also common when symptoms are ongoing, because the full extent of what a plaintiff is dealing with is not clear right away, and the Amber Rose lawsuit rests heavily on the argument that the effects did not resolve.
Gravitas operates as a private members only club in Beverly Hills that hosts events for celebrities and entrepreneurs. That business model is built on discretion, which makes a publicly filed complaint describing a guest being knocked unconscious by the decor an unusual position for the venue.
