We’re actually surprised Justin Bieber hasn’t been sued for something similar before. His annoying ditties are enough to destroy anyone’s ears.
Oh, what’s that? It was actually the screaming fans who did the damage not Biebs. Oh well.
A woman, Stacey Wilson Betts, is claiming her hearing has been permanently damaged after she took her daughter to one of Justin’s concerts in July 2010.
And because it’s America she’s suing him, his label Island Def Jam Records, the concert promoter and the arena for a staggering $9.23 million in damages.
In the lawsuit she says: ‘I was injured by a sound blast that exceeded safe decibel levels. I suffer hearing loss, tinnitus and hyperacusis in both ears.’
She goes on to say the initial screaming was bad enough but it got much worse when he was pulled into the crowd in a ‘heart-shape aluminium/steel gondola’. Wow, does he really do that?
Anyway the lawsuit alleged that Bieber ‘created a wave like effect of screaming by pointing into various sections of the arena.’
He ‘then enticed the crowd into a frenzy of screams by continuously waving his arms in a quick and upward motion.’
She also claims: ‘The gondola that Justin Bieber was suspended in acted as a sound conductor creating a sound blast that permanently damaged both of my ears.’
She’s really thought about this, hasn’t she? The tinnitus she’s suffered has resulted in ‘anxiety, loss of sleep, and depression.’
We don’t know why but we’ve got a feeling she’s not going to be successful, just a hunch. If nothing else she might end up getting a song written about him a la Mariah Yeater, you never know.
