This is so not the week to be Justin Bieber.
Days after the singer was cited for excessive speeding and chased by the paparazzi, he's been hit with a lawsuit by a former concert goer named Stacey Wilson Betts - and you won't believe the reason why.
Days after the singer was cited for excessive speeding and chased by the paparazzi, he's been hit with a lawsuit by a former concert goer named Stacey Wilson Betts - and you won't believe the reason why.
Betts is suing the adorable teen for $9.2 million
because she attended a show in July 2010 and claims to have suffered
severe tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hyperacusis (oversensitivity
to sound) in both ears as a result.
Based on court documents obtained by E!
News, Betts says she was injured due to "an unforeseen aspect of the
show," specifically a sound blast that "exceeded safe decibel levels."
"[Bieber] climbed into a
heart shaped, aluminum/steel gondola and was pulled out over the
crowd," creating a "wave like effect of screaming" that "enticed the
crowd into a frenzy of screams by continuously waving his arms in a
quick and upward motion," the lawsuit reads.
Betts concludes that her pain is a results of "the negligence of Justin Bieber."
She is also suing Island Def Jam Records, the arena in which the concert was held and the promoter.
