Justin Bieber sued for $9million… as woman claims his concert destroyed her ears
Everyone knows fans of Justin Bieber are prone to screaming, but the mother of one fan is now suing the pop star as a result.
Stacey Wilson Betts is claiming her hearing has been permanently damaged after she took her daughter to the teen idol’s concert on July 14, 2010.
The woman, who hails from Oregon, is suing Bieber, his label Island Def Jam Records, the concert promoter and the arena for a whopping $9.23million in damages.
Betts claims in the lawsuit, published by TMZ:
‘I was injured by a sound blast that exceeded safe decibel levels. I
suffer hearing loss, tinnitus and hyperacusis in both ears.’
Betts cites that while the initial screaming in the arena was bad enough, Bieber made it much worse when he was pulled into the crowd in a ‘heart-shaped aluminum/steel gondola’ as part of the show.
Her lawsuit alleges 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.’
Betts states that the tinnitus creates a ‘loud high pitched, whooshing, pulsating sound’ and claims that this results in ‘anxiety, loss of sleep, and depression.’
Earlier this month Justin was slapped with a speeding ticket for driving at 80mph on the way to a music video shoot.
And it’s not the only recent brush with the law for the 18-year-old singer.
Back in May he allegedly ‘roughed up’ a photographer during a date with girlfriend Selena Gomez.
MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Justin Bieber for comment.
