Jean-Claude Van Damme is accused of dealing a death blow to a home gym product -- after allegedly agreeing to promote it ... and then BASHING it on his reality show instead.

According to a new lawsuit filed today in L.A., Van Damme allegedly agreed to shoot an infomercial for the "Total Flex" gym in Brussels back in February ... but when JCVD showed up to the set, he had no idea how to use the equipment.
The infomercial producers claim Van Damme grew frustrated with his inability to operate the machine ... even though JCVD's wife figured it out right away.
Eventually, according to the suit, Van Damme refused to do the infomercial -- addressing the camera for his OWN reality show "Behind Closed Doors" instead -- insisting he would never endorse a product he thinks is no good.
Van Damme allegedly followed up his bitchfest by taking a quick lunch break and then DISAPPEARING -- only to call the infomercial producer later on to officially quit the project.
Now, the company behind the gym is suing Van Damme for at least $25,000 ... claiming it took a financial beating over the whole thing. Calls to Van Damme's reps weren't returned.

So what you are saying is that you would hit it?

Its not all cut and dry. The company paid him 25k plus hotel and transportation to endorse the product. Its actually an ok product but if Jean Claude didn't wish to endorse the product, then he needs to pay back the money minus hotel and transportation. Not to mention that they had shipped him a Total Flex machine in advance prior to being flown down to the location so its not like he was caught off guard.

Don't know what is more stupid, Van Damme's agreement to promote this piece of junk or his opening his mouth to diss it after signing the agreement. Based on his dwindling career, he should kiss the manufacturer's ass, beg forgiveness and go on TV and claim that every last ounce of the "Muscles from Brussels" was created by the Total Flex. At least then he'd be able to keep generating an income and limit legal expenses.
