Another lawsuit is "Burning Up" for the Queen of Pop.
Madonna is being sued by concertgoer Justin Lepeles for breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, unfair competition, false advertising, emotional distress — and for being subjected to "pornography without warning," according to several media reports cting court documents filed Wednesday in Los Angeles.
Live Nation, Forum Entertainment, Kia Forum, Acrisure Arena, the Golden 1 Center, and Chase Center are also named in the suit.
Lepeles, who said he purchased four $500 tickets to Madonna's Celebration Tour March 7 at the Kia Forum, accused the 65-year-old icon of starting her concert an hour-and-a-half late, forcing concertgoers to sit in an uncomfortably hot arena, and subjecting fans – including his 11-year-old sister – to live "pornography without warning."
"Imagine taking your 11-year-old daughter to a pop concert," noted a statement from his attorney. "When in the middle of the concert, the women on stage remove their tops and are completely topless. They then begin to act out sexual situations ... This is with absolutely no warning to anyone who is offended by this type of content, and especially those who bring children to the concert."
Additionally, for hours everyone was forced to sit in what "felt like a sauna. This was no accident, Madonna insisted that the A/C stay off and when people in the crowd complained, she said she is not turning the A/C on and if they didn't like it, they should take their clothes off ... In other words, people paid thousands of dollars to sit and suffer while watching live porn, including kids, with no warning," the court documents allege.
The complaint states the "Material Girl" singer also lip-synced, rather than sang, when she finally took the stage.
Lipeles' lawsuit comes weeks after another lawsuit filed by Elizabeth Halper-Asefi, Mary Conoboy, and Nestor Monte, Jr., claimed Madonna was more than two hours late to her Washington, D.C., show.
Similarly, concertgoers Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden also sued Madonna for her tardiness during a December show in New York City.
A rep for Madonna did not immediately respond to HNGN's request for comment.
