Justin Bieber Sued $9 Million for Damaging Woman’s Ears

Oregon woman claims she was hit with a “sound blast” at one of Justin’s concerts that left her with permanent ear damage, reports TMZ.com

According to the suit, Stacey Wilson Betts took her daughter to see Justin’s concert in Portland, Oregon on July 14, 2010.

Betts claims it was incredibly loud inside the arena … but Bieber made it MUCH MUCH WORSE when he climbed into a “heart-shaped aluminum/steel gondola” which was pulled out into the crowd. Watch video!

In the suit, Betts claims Justin Bieber “created a wave like effect of screaming by pointing into various sections of the arena. Then enticed the crowd into a frenzy of screams by continuously waving his arms in a quick and upward motion.”

Betts says the gondola acted as a “sound conductor creating a sound blast that permanently damaged both of my ears.”

As a result, Betts claims she now suffers from tinnitus … which causes a constant pulsing, whooshing shound that makes it hard to sleep. She also complains of other hearing-related damage.

She’s suing Bieber — along with Bieb’s record label, the concert promoter and the arena — and demanding $9.23 million in damages.

    i wouldn’t say that she’s stupid or a “bitch”. I don’t know what the law is, but she has the right to sue him. You can’t say that that’s what she gets for going to a concert. If someone was trampled to death in a concert, does that mean they can’t sue?

    But she should’ve expected things like loud noise and such in a CONCERT.

    This lawsuit is rediculous. A cncert is going to be loud and teens are going to be screaming….she needs to get a life. If she wins this I will be very angery at the courts. Jstin can’t controll what the crowd will do and this woman should know better.

    First of all, It wasn’t Justin’s fault. Second, Justin didn’t know that it was going to create a sound blast. He loves his fans and I know he wouldn’t do anything to hurt his surrounds in concerts. Of course when he practices that sound in the steel gondola before the concert, the sound is NOTHING like the sound when its the REAL THING. Its not his fault. Why would you sue him?!

    He Can’t be irresponsible for something he didn’t know of…. Did he know that the noise would hurt the woman’s ears no….. But Ill just pray for the woman but she didn’t really have to sue… She should hav made a complaint to the crew and maybe if she was nicer Justin would hav maybe gotten her some help but come on sue after like 2 years doesn’t add up…. And @Mrs.Bieber I still don’t get why he’s irresponsible for something he didn’t know of… And to me I think that those loud concert are for teens because our hearing is alittle stronger than adults

    What a joke!!! I have tinnitus in my ears,I guess I could think back what caused mine maybe I could sue someone. She could get it from a lot of conditions. Justin is rich so pick on him. Funny thing is, she will probably get some money,just to get rid of her. Just like the person who spilled McDonalds hot coffee on them, they got a lot of money from their lawsuit. That,s life!!!!!.

    Guys, the lawsuit was probably filed in 2010 but they are just addressing it now. It happens all the time because they can’t just deal with it straight away when they have 1 million other things to worry about!! You have to give the court at least 1 or 2 years :)

    What kind of an idiot goes to a rock concert and then complains about noise??? What did she expect. Justin Beiber has a bevy of screaming teen fans, plus the music is always excessively loud at these things. Just another litigation happy person looking to be paid for her own lack of self-responsibility.

    How low can some people actually be? Next time, don’t go to a concert where you dam well know thousands of girls will be sreaming their lungs out. Pathetic is an understatment. I hope that some what of a cow doesn’t get one single penny out of Justin or his label. HA HA HA.
