Garcia's attorney, Gloria Allred, then described what had occurred at the Snow Summit Ski Resort in the San Bernardino Mountains, during the videotaping of a segment for MTV's "Dude, This Sucks" Show. "Miss Garcia and her friend, Kelli Stoat, were standing in the front row of the audience, when a two-man act called Shower Rangers came on stage. Without warning or explanation, the two Shower Rangers turned their backsides to the audience, and both opened a flap on the back of their shorts, exposing their naked buttocks. Before my clients could say or do anything, the Shower Ranger whose buttocks faced them bent over, spread his cheeks, and emitted a spray of fecal matter over them. We learned later that he had given himself a three-quart enema immediately before going on stage, to ensure a large quantity of spray.

"We believe that subjecting young people without their knowledge and consent to such an outrageous and indecent act is medically unsound, and completely unacceptable and intolerable. My clients want to send a message that this type of act goes far beyond the bounds of decency, and are therefore seeking compensatory and punitive damages for the intentional infliction of risk of disease, emotional distress, negligence, and battery."

MTV's president for programming, Brian Graden, later apologised, saying "this is a terrible incident. I can state categorically that the episode will never be aired, and we have taken steps to ensure such an event never happens again."
