Prostitute sues musician Neil, brothel over alleged assault

The former Moonlite BunnyRanch prostitute who accused former Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil of assaulting her has filed a civil lawsuit against Neil, the brothel and BunnyRanch owner Dennis Hof.

The lawsuit, filed in Clark County District Court on Monday, is asking for an unspecified amount of money in excess of $20,000 for damages, lost wages and other costs stemming from the July 10, 2003 incident, which Neil pled no contest to last month.

Prostitute Andrea "TrixXxie Blue" Terry claims in the lawsuit that Neil grabbed her by the neck, pushed her against a window sill, and then pulled her to the floor after Terry refused to let her and another prostitute have sex with Neil until he paid $4,000 for each woman.

The lawsuit says Hof was negligent because he didn't call police and because the panic button/intercom in her room wasn't working.

A woman who answered the telephone at Neil's Las Vegas home Thursday said Neil would not comment on the lawsuit because he hadn't seen it yet. The woman said she was Neil's fiancee, Lia.

Hof said he's confident Terry will lose in court because he thinks she made up the story about the assault.

Hof said Neil was at the brothel at Hof's request to sign autographs and take pictures a day after performing with the band Poison in Reno.

While at the brothel, Terry brought Neil to a room, and soon thereafter Hof said another prostitute came to him saying that Terry would not let Neil leave.

Hof said he went to the room and, "I saw her with her hands on his shoulders not letting him go."

If there was a struggle, Hof said there would have been broken furniture and there wasn't.

"In my opinion Vince Neil did nothing wrong," Hof said. "She was an opportunist."

But Hof said even if Neil did go with Terry to have sex, Terry would have known that Neil would not have to pay for her services.

"We don't charge celebrities, we pay the girls ourselves," Hof said.

He also doubted there was anything wrong with the panic button.

Terry's attorney, Anthony Sgro, did not return telephone messages left at his Las Vegas office Thursday.
