A concertgoer has sued Madonna over “unwanted” racy exposure during her stage show.
Madonna fan Justen Lipeles has claimed emotional distress after attending the singer’s LA show.
In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court this week, he claimed Madonna showed “disrespect” to her fans at her 7 March concert.
The suit alleged concertgoers were subjected to “pornography without warning” that included, “topless women on stage simulating sex acts”.
Justen further claimed Madonna, 65, demanded the air conditioning be turned off, with the subsequent heat causing him to become physically ill.
The lawsuit also took issue with Madonna’s arrival time to the stage. The show was ticketed to begin at 8.30pm, however Justen alleged she did not appear on stage until after 10pm.
“Forcing consumers to wait hours in hot, uncomfortable arenas and subjecting them to pornography without warning is demonstrative of Madonna’s flippant disrespect for her fans,” Justin’s complaint states.
He also alleged Madonna lip-synced despite attendees having paid for a live performance.
It’s not the first time a fan has launched legal action against the singer, with at least two previous lawsuits filed since 2019 over Madonna’s late arrivals to her concerts.
