L.A.’s Finest, the Bad Boys TV spinoff starring Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba, is under investigation for a gruesome workplace incident that lead to the partial amputation of one showrunner’s leg.
The Division of Occupational Safety and Health of California is investigating the show’s production company, Mesquite Productions, for the incident involving showrunner, Brandon Sonnier.
On February 21, co-showrunners, Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis were injured when a stunt car crashed into the video village where both men were viewing the scene on monitors. Margolis was almost immediately released from the hospital while Sonnier’s injuries required that doctors amputate his leg just below the knee.
According to The Blast, the Cal/OSHA investigation into the incident is expected to take a few months as they try to, “determine the cause of the incident and correct workplace safety violations.”
The safety officials have six months to issue any necessary citations.
Sonnier has since been released from the hospital expected to make a full recovery. PopCulture reports Sonnier has garnered over $38,000 in financial support from donations from TV executives and a GoFundMe to assist him with living and medical costs.

Of course Hollywood is ruining another franchise with an all female spinoff
Was thinking the same thing, this world is so feminist, all these female right movements is so unnecessary. Two females being called “Bad Boys”, makes no f***’n sense
Did you read the article? Its called L.A’s finest, not Bad Boys. Youre comment makes no sense ?
This is old news. Anyway, whomever set up video village right by a stunt location is fucked! I bet the EP told the tech guy to put the monitors there, and he/she didn’t want to, but bosses orders!!!! There is no way a Tech Sup would have made that call. Such a shame. What a stupid and avoidable mistake.
EPs don’t tell us where to put video monitors. It’s talked about with the AD department and the DP will give us safe zones as well. At the end of the day the AD is the one who runs the set and will take on the brunt of the responsibility after the investigation is complete.
Id I’d still go raw in Jessica Alba’s shit box though…#metoo
Losing half a leg is not what I call making a full recovery
Is this spin off coming after the new Bad Boy movie ?
Producing tv costs an arm and a leg. He got half price.
He gon be able to wipe his ass with that $38,000 after the studio settles with him out of court.
