Jon Hamm, the star of Mad Men, took part in a violent university hazing in 1990 at the University of Texas that led to criminal charges, according to court and school records.
The pledge, Mark Allen Sanders, said Hamm went on to set his jeans on fire, shove his face in dirt and strike him with a paddle.
“He rears back and hits me left-handed, and he hit me right over my right kidney, I mean square over it,” Sanders said in the lawsuit. “Good solid hit and that, that stood me right up.”
Sanders said he needed medical care and withdrew from the school. Court records show the lawsuit was dismissed in 1993. Attempts to reach Sanders were unsuccessful on Thursday and his former attorney did not return a message.
And then we all know the rest, he grew up to be a successful millionaire actor, the end.
