American Woman Drops Hearing Damage Lawsuit Against Justin Bieber
Monday, 21 January 2013

An American woman attempting to sue Justin Bieber for $9million/£5.8million after damaging her hearing at one of his concerts has now dropped her case, according to reports.
Stacy Wilson Betts, who attended a Bieber gig with her daughter in Oregon in 2010, complained that the Canadian star’s actions and stage setup caused a ‘sound blast’, leaving her with tinnitus and permanently-damaged hearing.
She claimed that a ‘heart-shaped aluminum/steel gondola’ - which Bieber used to be lifted Bieber above the audience - ‘created a wave-like effect of screaming by pointing into various sections of the arena’. She also said that Bieber ‘enticed the crowd into a frenzy of screams by continuously waving his arms in a quick and upward motion’.
After initially looking for a hefty $9million, Betts has now apparently dropped her case - because she can’t find a lawyer to help her move the case forward. Though she stands by her claims, she won’t be continuing the case - meaning Bieber’s up and coming UK tour will go ahead without a hitch.
