Movie action man Bruce Willis is facing a $28,000 legal battle – over a stained rug.
The Die Hard legend’s interior designer reportedly picked out a handmade wool and silk carpet to grace the floor of the actor’s Los Angeles home in December (09).
Six weeks later, Willis returned the luxury rug to suppliers Mansour – but staff demanded he pay the $27,700 price tag after allegedly discovering “spilled or dripped red wine” stains on the fabric.
According to a lawsuit filed at L.A. County Superior Court, representatives for Willis deny the damage was caused while the carpet was in his possession – and insist the store loaned him the item on a sale-or-return basis.
Willis’ lawyer, Marty Singer, tells TMZ.com the star has offered to pay for the rug to be cleaned – insisting the lawsuit is “ridiculous”.
