Ryan Seacrest’s ex ‘confined to bed after internal injuries from drink’ on American Airlines flight

Shana Wall had a mishap after drinking shards of plastic that were allegedly served to her by American Airlines. Ryan Seacrest’s ex filed a lawsuit against the company

As Shana Wall was aboard an American Airlines flight to Rome, she got injured by sipping at a beverage that allegedly had shards of plastic.

Ryan Seacrest’s ex-wife has claimed in a lawsuit filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court that her throat, esophagus, vocal chords and digestive system were hurt on May 1. In court documents obtained by The Mirror, the former Amazing Race contestant further alleged that American Airlines “had actual and/or constructive notice of the dangerous and unsafe conditions.”

She believes the airlines is liable for her injuries which she claimed were “caused solely by the negligence, gross negligence, wilful, wanton, reckless and quasi criminal conduct” by American Airlines.

The reality star described her injuries as “permanent,” explaining that she was previously “confided to home and bed.” During that time, Shana said she sustained “a loss of enjoyment of life,” including an inability to perform “the duties of her occupation, sustaining wage and economic loss; has incurred, and will in the future continue to incur.” Plus, she noted the financial toll that treatment of her injuries took on her.

Shana “demands judgment against [American Airlines] on the first cause of action in an amount which exceeds the jurisdictional limit of all lower courts which would otherwise have jurisdiction together with costs, disbursements, interest and attorneys’ fees on all causes of action.” However, she doesn’t specify an exact financial amount.

Ryan and Shana started dating in 2003, but split up soon after they attended the Primetime Emmy Awards together in 2005. While they were briefly seen together in 2016 again, romance didn’t seem to spark between them again as Ryan linked back up with Shayna Taylor.

In addition to her Amazing Race stint, the star also made appearances on shows like Married…. With Children and Entourage. However, she now focuses most of her time on being a sommelier and contributor to the men’s magazine Best Life. She’s big on world travel, explaining her presence on the flight to begin with. Shana documents her adventures well on social media, posting from Italy in mid-May, after the accident.
