A tarot reader and fortune-telling performer sues cinema chain Vue, claiming he was “catapulted” from a defective cinema seat and suffered resulting harm. The claims relate to an incident at a Vue venue in north London, described by multiple outlets as involving a collapsing chair while he watched a film.
The Independent and the Evening Standard both focus on the alleged impact on his fortune-telling work and future earnings, including claims that the accident undermined lucrative psychic plans or a career on an online platform. The Daily Mail outlets emphasize physical consequences, saying he developed chronic neck and back pain and that the incident dulled his senses, with one also identifying him as an actor.
While all accounts center on the same lawsuit and the “catapulted” chair narrative, the differing coverage highlights either the business/career fallout or the medical and sensory effects. Across outlets, the compensation figure of £12.7 million is consistent in the headlines and summaries provided, and the disputed mechanism remains the same: an allegedly dangerously defective seat.
