Justin Bieber has been hit with a $9 million (Rs 50 crore) lawsuit after a woman claimed her hearing had been permanently damaged by screaming fans at a concert.

Bieber sued for Rs 50 cr over screaming fans

According to the suit, Stacey Wilson Betts had taken her daughter to see Bieber’s show in Portland, Oregon two years ago in July.



Betts claimed that Bieber “created a wave like effect of screaming by pointing into various sections of the arena. He then enticed the crowd into a frenzy of screams by continuously waving his arms in a quick and upward motion.”


She said that the gondola-effect acted as a “sound conductor creating a sound blast that permanently damaged both of my ears.”

As a result, Betts claimed that she now suffered from tinnitus ... which causes a constant pulsing sound that makes it hard to sleep.
