Justin Bieber in action. Plug your ears! (Splash News)For
a lot of girls, a Justin Bieber concert would be a magical night. But
now one of their mothers, Stacey Wilson Betts, is claiming all those
screams from the crowd left her with permanent hearing loss — to the
tune of $9.2 million! In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, Betts claims that
after attending a Bieber concert with her daughter in July 2010, she
suffered ringing in the ears and hypersensitivity to sound. The Biebs,
as well as his record label, the arena, and the concert promoter, are to
blame, according to the lawsuit, for allowing the concert to become too
loud. Betts obviously didn't know the extent of Bieber Fever! She
points the finger at an "unforeseen aspect of the show," in which Bieber
climbed into a steel gondola and pulled him over the crowd. He then
encouraged fans to scream by waving his arms in the air, while the steel
gondola acted as a "sound conductor" that created a "sound blast" that
damaged Betts' ears, she says. Hmm ... think she'll also sue the
concession stand people for serving unhealthy food? No comment yet from
Bieber's rep, but the teen's camp has to be used to fending off court
cases by now.
