Madonna sued by fan over ‘pornography’ in concert

Madonna sued by fan over ‘pornography’ in concert

Madonna has been hit by another lawsuit on her Celebration tour.

The suit claims she pushed pornography upon concert attendees.

In the case reviewed by Entertainment Weekly, Justen Lipeles — who attended Madonna’s Los Angeles show at the Kia Forum — alleged that attendees were exposed to “pornography without warning”, including “topless women on stage simulating sex acts”.

Aside from that allegation, Lipeles’ suit contained the same claims that had surfaced in recent months — that the venue was uncomfortably hot and that she and promoter Live Nation engaged in false advertising because she took to the stage more than an hour later than the listed 8:30 pm time slot.

Madonna was first sued in January over late start times tied to her Brooklyn shows at the Barclays Center. Plaintiffs Michael Fellows and John Hadden alleged that they “were confronted with limited public transportation, limited ride-sharing, and/or increased public and private transportation costs at that late hour”, and that some attendees “had to get up early to go to work and/or take care of their family responsibilities the next day”.

Regarding that suit, Madonna and Live Nation said that “the shows opened in North America at Barclays in Brooklyn as planned, with the exception of a technical issue December 13th during sound check. This caused a delay that was well documented in press reports at the time. We intend to defend this case vigorously”.

Last month, three more fans who attended her Washington DC shows filed a similar suit, claiming that the venue was hot and that they “had to leave the concerts early prior to the concerts’ conclusion, therefore depriving each of them of the benefit of seeing the complete concert”.
