Eva Longoria just got roped into an awful mess — her famous Hollywood restaurant got sued by a man claiming someone who worked there beat him to a pulp.
Michael Paul Flores says he was invited back in June to Beso for the “Lowriders” premiere after-party. Everything was hunky-dory until late in the evening, when Michael claims someone struck him in the mouth, face and head multiple times before the assailant fled the joint.
According to docs … Michael says Beso’s security staff fessed up … the assailant worked for them, and they hinted that they knew of his penchant for violence.
What’s more … Michael says Beso should have known the after-party would be a bullseye for violence since the movie “dealt with the lowrider subculture of East Los Angeles.” He claims producers of the movie — starring Eva — hired actors for the movie from car clubs that had rival gang ties.
Eva was not named in the lawsuit.
We’ve reached out to Beso, so far no word back.
