Madonna’s Celebration Tour, which ended many days ago, has landed the singer in legal trouble again. A complaint was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on May 29. An attendee, Justen Lipeles, alleged that Madonna’s March 7 concert, which was held at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, was filled with unwanted sexual exposure.
The accusations include negligent misrepresentation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false advertising, and breach of a written contract.
Lipeles’ allegations of ‘pornography without warning’ come as many topless women were imitating sexual acts on the stage in an uncomfortably hot environment. Justen also said that it was very disrespectful to her fans. First, there was a delay in the starting time of the performance, and then the temperature made him ill.
He claims that Madonna wished for the air conditioning to be turned off. In addition, he claims that Madonna just lip-synced her songs, even though the audience paid for a live concert.

Justen is seeking a refund for the cost of the audience’s tickets and Madonna’s profits in the lawsuit. He said in the complaint,
Forcing consumers to wait hours in hot, uncomfortable arenas and subjecting them to pornography without warning is demonstrative of Madonna’s flippant disrespect for her fans,
He emphasized the unpunctual nature of the 65-year-old singer. While the show was slated to begin at 8:30 p.m., the seven-time Grammy winner took the stage after 10 p.m.
Lipeles filed the suit after several other suits were filed against Madonna for the same reasons. They accused the ‘Queen of Pop’ of “unconscionable, unfair, and/or deceptive trade practices.” Responding to that, the singer’s team said that there were technical issues that caused the delay. Further, they also clarified their intentions for defending the case.
This is not the first concert that has faced legal trouble. After her Florida concert in 2019, an attendee, Nate Hollander, filed a lawsuit against Madonna.
