‘Survivor Greece’ Star Stavros Floros Sues Producers for $100 Million After Losing His Leg on Show
- On Wednesday, former Survivor Greece contestant Stavros Floros filed a lawsuit in Miami-Dade County against producers Acun Medya and Skai Television, seeking more than $100 million in damages after a May 11 boating accident severed his left leg.
- Floros alleges production teams required contestants to spearfish in open waters near Bayahibe, Dominican Republic, without safety boats, protected swimming zones, or adequate warning markers despite heavy tourist boat traffic.
- Beyond safety failures, Floros alleges producers attempted to cover up the accident and supplied contestants with drugs to 'calm and settle' the cast, while the provided surface marker buoy stood only two to three feet above water.
- Production of the show's 13th season halted after the injury, which required Floros to spend 61 days hospitalized in Miami undergoing multiple surgeries; producers later awarded him the season's $291,000 grand prize.
- These allegations remain untested in court, as Acun Medya and Skai Television have not yet filed a formal defense, and previous company statements claimed the accident occurred outside the official competition.
