Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo are being sued for alleged negligence by a woman they hired to plant flowers at their Montecito mansion, who claimed a fall on the property in 2023 gave her a traumatic brain injury, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The decorator, Shana Kallen, filed the lawsuit on May 9 against the musician, 45, the model, 35, and their house manager, Sam Schamberg.
Kallen claimed she was hired to place flowers and plants on their outdoor patio and second-floor landing. In the lawsuit obtained by The Blast, she noted that she'd enter and exit through the master bedroom to access the outdoor landing until the house manager allegedly stopped her because Behati wanted privacy.
Schamberg allegedly messaged Kallen that "Behati (Defendant B.P) is going to lay down in her room [and] make sure no one goes through the bedroom to the patio, ladder access only."
Kallen claimed Schamberg "had arranged or set up a ladder" below the second-floor landing and patio for her to use while Behati was in the master bedroom.
The decorator alleged she was forced to step over the 42-inch railing and walk on the roof to get to the ladder, which she claimed was too short for her to reach the ground safely. Kallen said she remembers hitting her head before "violently" crashing into the concrete ground.
She claimed she suffered a traumatic brain injury from the alleged fall — and that's not all.
Kallen said she lost her ability to taste and smell. She also alleged she suffered "great mental, physical, emotional, and nervous pain," which she claimed may lead to a permanent disability.
Kallen said her alleged injuries caused her economic and financial loss of past and future earnings. She also said she gained medical and incidental expenses over the alleged incident.
The decorator is suing for general damages over $25,000, accusing Levine and Prinsloo of failing to provide her with a safe and reasonable way to access and leave the patio from the second floor and Schamberg, who she claimed "negligently, carelessly, and recklessly" provided an insufficient ladder for her.
