Kid Rock was slapping waffles down on fans’ plates earlier this month as part of a charity benefit, but now he’s on the receiving end of some slapping thanks to a lawsuit filed against him last Friday.

Kid Rock, AKA Robert Ritchie, is being sued by Michael Medlin, Carlos Bonilla and Jose Perez, who claim he caused them personal injury and “exemplary” personal damages according to the lawsuit obtained by Access Hollywood.

In the paperwork, the three men claim they were waiting outside of Teddy’s Nightclub at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel early on the morning of March 22, 2006. The celebrity autograph collectors claim they were “assaulted and battered” by Kid as well as members of the Boo Yaa Tribe, who are also named as plaintiffs in the suit.

They also alleged that Medlin was kicked and “left on the ground seriously injured as Kid Rock and his entourage drove off,” the suit reads.

The Roosevelt and Teddy’s are both named in the suit as the defendants claim they “operated their (sic) permises so as to allow plaintiffs to be attacked and severely beaten.”

The plaintiffs claim Kid Rock and the Boo Yaa Tribe stole their cameras, bags and “other personal items in their hands.”

Lost Highway Touring is also named as a defendant in the suit.

The plaintiffs additionally claim that as a result of the reported incident, they “did and do to this day, suffer extreme emotional distress, humiliation and mental anguish.”

They are seeking an amount in unlimited excess of $15 million.

A rep for Kid Rock was not immediately available for comment at press time.

The rap-rocker pleaded not guilty Monday to a misdemeanor count of simple battery stemming from a fight at an Atlanta-area Waffle House last October.

Rock, 37, did not appear in court and had his attorney, Darryl Cohen, enter the plea on his behalf.

The singer (real name: Robert Ritchie) and members of his entourage ran into trouble at the breakfast-purveying chain in the wee hours of Oct. 21, following a concert at the Tabernacle concert hall in Atlanta.

While at the restaurant, a woman who was with Rock’s group allegedly got into a heated debate with another Waffle House patron whom she recognized.

The two apparently took their quarrel into the parking lot, where Rock and five members of his entourage became involved before piling onto the rocker’s tour bus and departing.

Police stopped the bus shortly thereafter and took Rock and his cronies into custody on a single charge of simple battery. Rock was released later the same day after posting $1,000 bail.

During an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show later that same week, Rock maintained that he had been provoked into participating in the encounter, adding that he did not consider himself to be a violent person.

“The last thing I want is that reputation,” he said. “I believe in just standing up for things I believe in, and being honest, and sometimes it gets me in a little bit of trouble.”

 Kid Rock has proved he’s a generous rocker - he recently rewarded a New York restaurant worker with $1,000 in cash for returning a pal’s $200,000 watch.The star was dining at Manhattan’s Southern Hospitality with some friends when one of the restaurant’s employees spotted the watch on the floor - and promptly alerted the group to his find.A source tells the New York Post’s gossip column PageSix, “The watch wasn’t even his (Kid Rock’s); it belonged to one of Kid’s friends.”And that wasn’t the only money the 36-year-old splashed during his visit - he also offered cash prizes to his companions if they completed various challenges.The source adds, “He was daring his friends to drink bottles of tabasco and barbecue sauce. Two of his friends won $500 each (for completing the task).”
