Madonna Sued For Forcing Fans To Watch 'Pornography Without Warning'
Madonna fans are angry at the artist after she subjected them to pornography without consent.
The 65-year-old singer is known for always pushing the envelope in the entertainment scene. But she may have crossed the line this time, so she now faces a class action lawsuit from her own fans, who got mad after they were shown pornography without consent during her March 7 concert in Los Angeles.
Filed by Justen Lipeles, the suit claims that concertgoers were coerced into buying expensive tickets because the venue did not properly market the performance. It also indicated that the concert space was uncomfortably hot, the show started far later than advertised and Madonna lip-synced most of the time.
The suit also claimed that those who attended the concert were subjected to "pornography without warning" because they were "forced to watch topless women dancing on stage."
The "Celebration Tour," which kicked off on Oct. 14, 2023, is a retrospective of the talent's impressive career. During the show, each of her children has their own moment to shine on stage.
In a previous interview with W Magazine, Madonna was asked what it was like to have her children involved in her tour and her craft.
In response, the superstar said, "I have always been blessed with children who are interested in music, dance, and art. Starting from the top with Lola, who was not only an incredible ballet dancer and and a rhythmic gymnast, switching to musical theater and contemporary dance. Now she is a unique singer and song writer in her own right."
"When I go on tour, nothing brings me more happiness to know, we are all working on the same show creating the magic together. It would be boring if they were just traveling from hotel to hotel, and occasionally coming to watch the show. Of course, I am also their mother so sometimes we get on each other's nerves. We are a family of artists but are also a family and that's what happens."
Madonna previously faced two similar lawsuits amid her "Celebration Tour," with the plaintiffs citing the late start of her concerts.
One 2023 lawsuit claimed that concertgoers were "confronted with limited public transportation, limited ride-sharing, and/or increased public and private transportation costs" due to the late and lackadaisical start time of the performance.
Madonna's team has yet to address the new lawsuit against the artist.
