Woman suing Victoria's Secret over thong-gone-bad

Woman suing Victoria's Secret over thong-gone-bad Macrida Patterson, 52, a traffic cop for the Los Angeles DOT, is suing the lingerie giant "Victoria's Secret" over a thong incident. According to the latest reports, Patterson has filed a lawsuit against Victoria's Secret, after a thong fastener snapped and injured her eye. The thong, a Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Thing low-rise v-string, had a heart-shaped pendant attached to the fabric with a metal fastener, according to the lawsuit, when one of the metal pieces snapped off the thong and struck Macrida Patterson in the eye. "I was putting on my underwear from Victoria’s Secret, and the metal popped into my eye. It happened really quickly. I was in excruciating pain. I screamed. That’s what happened," she told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira during an interview. According to her lawyer, Patterson suffered a scratched cornea and had to miss two weeks of work. The unfortunate woman is now suing the lingerie company for compensation for lost wages.
