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.


This is so stupid. Sue justin 9 million dollars cause he’s concert was to loud? um.. everyone of his concerts are loud and i dont see other complaining. That is just wrong and stupid to do this kinda stuff. Justin does not deserve this.
bitch u ain’t gon see a cent from him
No guys that is really bad like I would hate to be her I don’t know what I would do if I could hear and I could listen to Justin Bieber anymore, its bad but I don’t think its justin fault
Probably this woman has damaged the brain not ears .
omg wtf carn’t believe it doesn’t she a concerts loud gosh and she must be a belieber if she was at the concert so why wuld u do tht to justin, if you like him!!!!!
just stupid
love justin #bileberforever xx
SHE WENT WITH HER DAUGHTER BUT I GET WERE UR COMIN FROM
Wow? Seriously. Its not her fault, she shouldnt of went to the concert everyone knows concerts are LOUD cause of all the supporting fans. He shoundlt be sued because she went to the concert herself and paid to go its not like she was not expecting this.. Get over it old lady! Obviously she dosent know how loud us beliebers can get. B-I-T-C-H!
What. She might win (i pray she won’t). I mean look at the lady who sued Mcdonalds for the hot coffee. I mean this lady is a ganosh
Its a Justin Bieber concert.She shouldn’t sue him….just jealous much?
i know this may sound like im defending justin because im a belieber but women its not justins fault the girls were screaming they love him and im sure your daughter was screaming to so it was probalyher fault and 9 million dollars are you serious dont you think thats to much
we all know you just want the money
oh and
LOVE YOU JUSTIN <3
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.
Really… any smart person would wear ear plugs to a concert! Or don’t go if you cant handle the noise! duh
WHY IS EVERYBODY CLAIMING SOMETHING HAPPEN WHEN THEY GHO TO A JUSTIN BIEBER CONCERT THEIR LIARS… N THEY JST WANT HIS MONEY THEIR PETTY AS HELL.. N THEY CAN GHO TO HELL…
This is just stupid, it’s damn concert of one of the biggest teen stars in the world! No shit therulle be Fans screaming like f***ireee hehe
WHAT THE HELL !!!! ITS A FRIGGIN CONCERT!!! WHAT DOES SHE EXPECT FOR IT TO BE QUIET!!!! HE WAS MAKING IT MORE FUN BY DOING THE SCREAMING THING!!!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!! RETARDED OLD HAGG!!!!
This women is so freakin stupid!!! you are going to a concert with a lot of screaming girls!!!! She should know that!!!! If you knew that then you should have not gone!!!!
im a belieber but im on the side of the woman. justin really was irresponsible. he did a mistake i hope he doesnt get into to much trouble

Sorry I said the same Thing twice
Do any of u know where South Afrika is
what the hack. she is nuts! tht stupid story! tht is not justin`s fault! she is just mariah yeater wannabe
Bitch.
That women is faking it, all they want is Justin’s money.
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
im sorry woman that ur ear is damaged but jb concerts are REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY loud u just want money i dont care that ur ear is permanatley damaged alot of peoples ears are permanatley damaged and at least you can kinda hear cuz what about deaf people they cant hear at all that is somethng called wasting peoples money it dosnt matter if that person is rich or not
it wasnt justins fault maybe the speakers were loud everyone wants to hurt poor justin
WOW….. it’s not Justin’s fault he has fans that are crazy about him!
He didn’t know that would happen… Why did she wait till now to speak u?!?!!? Well…. I usually don’t take sides, but I’m on Justin’s because um hello?!?!?!? This lady must have been crazy not to know that he would obviously have fans scream!
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!!!!!.
Seriously this happened like two years ago and now she wants to sue him? Wow how fake does that seem stupid lady -__-
How dumb u dont go to a concert thinking it will sound like a library she just wants his money but who cares shes so dumb
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
I don’t think it Justin fault common it,s a Concert it,s suppose to be really Loud Right
This is soo stupid. . . poor justin : (
look at my youtube channel luvmusicqueen
Its a freaking concert, what are you suppose to do just sit there? thats stupid! i swear! when i went to his concert my ears didnt even hurt, and im going to one again! i hate people like this!
So,these are the CHALLENGES Justin going through! Another Mariah Yeater thing!
WE ALL MUST BE WITH HIM IN THIS SITUATION NO MATTER WHAT CAUSE WE ARE HIS BELIEBERS! <3
Its like that girl that said justin is the father of
Her child, people jst want his money he has
To put a stop to it. Whar was she doing there
Anyway a concert is loud did she think its a movie
Or something or they just want publicity
Or maybe she has a Grudge on him
People reply plz gosh
I hate ppl like that and that is a lot of money
If I can get a hold of that women I will kill
Her #1 justin fan I am a true belieber
I agree buut I am #1 JB Fann !! Jss..
Ok first,this womans a bitch it happened in 2010 and now its 2012 BITCH!! And its concert a JUSTIN BIEBER CONCERT do you expect the girls to shut up and stare at him???? And it wasn’t justin screaming it was the fans so why not sue them JK please GO TO HELL
I LOVE Jiustin Bieber
Okay that girl was like in 1st row AND she is complainig about her ears. WTF is happening to the world???
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.
Is thiis girl fo real ?!? Its a concert whaat do youu expect!! Thiss girl got major problemss…… It aintt Justin’s fault , likee cmon noww ! Peoplee are really sick these dayss ! They will do anything to get moneey from all the famouus people, it really aint rigght ! Likee thiss wom is Childishh , feer reall doee!! Uggh , and it was in 2010 andd shee’s juss saying sumin now! Like whats wrong wiff her! Obvss concertss aree gunna be loud , they aint gunna be loww ! #RealTalk #NuffSaidd
Love you JB <3 Forever and Always! Us Beliebers Are Theree For Youu !
She’s so stupid what did she expect in there, to be like her room when she sleeps, she’s even so lucky is not loud enough to make her not to speak again, not just to hear,goooooosh she’s so cheapppppppppppppppp
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.
I hate that women. she just wants Justin money
