Madonna Sued By Fan Over Accusations Her Concert Showed Inappropriate Media Without Warning

Following Madonna‘s health scare last year due to a severe bacterial infection, the Queen of Pop commenced her highly anticipated Word Tour, which ended in May 2024. However, despite the widespread acclaim received by The Celebration Tour, the iconic singer has faced criticism and, more recently, legal action due to certain aspects of the show’s content and her business practices.

In a recent turn of events, a lawsuit has been filed by a fan against Madonna, Live Nation, and four California concert venues, alleging that audiences were exposed to “pornography without warning” during the singer’s performance at the Los Angeles Kia Forum concert on March 7.

Madonna faces a class action suit for exposing her fans to sexually explicit content

On May 30th, fan Justin Lipeles, who attended Madonna’s Los Angeles Kia Forum concert on March 7, initiated a class action lawsuit against the renowned singer. According to court documents, Lipeles accused Madonna and Live Nation, the tour promoter, of deceptively enticing attendees into purchasing expensive tickets. He claimed that the marketing campaign intentionally withholds crucial information regarding the tour.

The legal document also asserted that attendees were compelled to witness explicit performances involving topless women simulating sexual acts on stage. This experience left Lipeles with the impression of watching pornography.

The singer has previously been sued by some other fans

Lipeles’ lawsuit is not the first against Madonna as two fans, Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden, had previously sued her for arriving late to her show on 13 December at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Fellows and Hadden alleged that the concert was supposed to commence at 8:30 p.m. but began around 10:45 p.m.

As a result of the unwarranted delay, the duo stated that they were faced with restricted public transportation options and limited ride-sharing availability, which escalated the cost of public and private transportation after the show ended at 1:00 a.m.
