PHOTOS Boy George injures his eye in club incident

Boy George attacked at club Amadeus and injures his eye

In “this post writes itself” news, it turns out that the answer to Culture Club’s hit single question, “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?” is a resounding yes! Or is it?

In a turn of events that could only happen to Boy George, the former Culture Club front man was DJing at the Amadeus nightclub in Northallerton, North Yorkshire on Saturday evening when “a drunken and aggressive woman lunged for his hat – and in doing so hit him in the eye,’ according to the singer’s spokesman.

Boy George (real name George O’Dowd) described the altercation this way on Twitter: “Someone pulled off my hat and in the struggle to get it back I got poked in the eye!”

George posted a couple gruesome photos of Twitter of his injured eye that make it very difficult for me not to make a Chris Brown reference. The above photo was shared along with the since-deleted tweet, “Looking pretty after getting assaulted on Saturday night!” He then shared this zoomed-in image:

That was followed on Sunday with the tweet, “The genius of Christine! One eye Joe! I have a gig so had to be clever! Quite Left Eye innit!” and this photo of George sporting a pair of Union Jack glasses to cover his bruised eye:

Boy George is reportedly not filing charges over the incident.
