JANET JACKSON HIT WITH $120 MILLION LAWSUIT

Janet Jackson is facing $120 million lawsuit after two of her bodyguards allegedly choked a fan so severely he almost blacked out.

New York Leonard Salati filed the legal action at Manhattan's Supreme Court, accusing the "All for You" singer of negligencr by hiring the two unnamed bodyguards.

The 39-year-old says Jackson was friendly when they met outside the Marquee nightclub and invited him to join her in the VIP area - but her security team turned nasty when he handed her a note.

Salati says, "My cousin knew Janet from (the TV show) "Fame" back in the 1980's. She told her bodyguards that I was okay and invited me to join her entourage inside.

After chatting to Jackson, Salati momentarily left the room before returning and trying to pass her a hand-written note.

The suit alleges that, "With provocation", the bodyguards, "Grabbed (him) around the neck, engaging (him in a choke hold", and "Dragged him down the steps", of the club, then, "Evicted him from MArquee into the street."

Steven Goldman, Salati's lawyer tells the court, "Witnesses says he was choked so severely they could tell he was gasping for air. We don't know the extent of the spine injury".

Jackson's legal representatives refuse to comment on the matter, and her spokesperson is not taking calls.
