Rihanna’s reign may not be letting up anytime soon, but her Diamonds World Tour has kept her the target of backlash for the last several months. Not only has the singer been accused of showing up late to her own concerts on numerous occasions, but there’s also been complaints that she lip synchs plenty in her shows, while some even claim she doesn’t change her outfits enough. As we recently reported, some fans who claimed they attended her recent show in Tel Aviv complained that Rihanna arrived to the concert an hour late and they were outraged that she reportedly left only an hour after hitting the stage. One of the fans who paid $100 to see their fave live says they feel cheated and they don’t feel the show was worth the money they paid. Well it looks like there’s even more drama coming from the Tel Aviv show.
According to a new report from Mako, Rihanna has caused the production company of the Tel Aviv show, Bluestone, to get slapped with a $13.3 million class action lawsuit. In the paperwork that was reportedly filed to the Tel Aviv District Court, the concert goers who filed the suit claim they are frustrated with Rihanna’s performance and they feel it was unfair that they had to sit and wait for Rihanna to show up for an hour post the concert’s official start time.
The concert goers in the suit are demanding to be compensated or in other words they want the money they paid for the show reimbursed because they feel they were cheated by a late show, not to mention they strongly believe Rihanna may have lip synched during most of the performance.
In the paperwork filed, there are also complaints that Rihanna only sang 20 songs when she was supposed to sing 28, and the concert goers are holding the production company responsible for the singer’s failure to sing the number of songs she reportedly agreed to.
As far as the production company goes, they claim they cannot be held responsible for Rihanna’s actions, but the concert goers say they should be and they should pay up for being “negligent.”
That Rihanna reign…lol
Stupid lawsuit. They won’t get a dime. People really want Rih to fail. It won’t happen though.
Agreed!!!!!
Maybe this will force her to reevaluate how she’s been handing her concerts. Not everyone will tolerate her being late and being a lazy performer.
LOL. A hot a-s mess. Rihanna costing folks millions of dollars for her trashy behavior.
While I’m equally annoyed that this chick has the audacity to keep showing up late to her own concerts and not giving a damn, the suit sounds dumb. You can’t blame the production company for what an artist does. They are suing the wrong people.
Cosign!
I’m sure Rihanna can care less about how her behavior is affecting other people. She’s the same one who hit her own fan in the head with a microphone.
Real talk if I was the production company I would never work with Rihanna again. Why is it so hard for her to show up to her concerts on time and actually put on a show? She’s a big star and she acts so self entitled like she doesn’t have to do anything to stay successful. What an arrogant attitude to have.
I hold Rihanna’s stans responsible. They are the ones who created this monster and told her she can do whatever she wants and still have their support. Oh well. Don’t get mad now. You wanted a bad girl? Here ya go.
I’m not even mad. If we started holding her more responsible in the US then just maybe she would actually try to be an artist for once in her life. She’s lazy and rude about it because her fans told her it’s cute.
This is terrible. She’s costing people money and their reputation and she doesn’t even apologize for ever being late. Smh.
Shouldn’t they be suing Rihanna? lol
Wow. Smh.
I don’t think it’s fair to blame the production company. They couldn’t guarantee that Rihanna was going to be professional and show up on time and perform the show she said she would. It happens. Hold the real person responsible and that’s Rihanna.
So why not go after Rihanna since she’s the one that didn’t follow the specifics of the contract?
These fans must not have gotten the official Navy memo. They aren’t supposed to ever call their queen out. She’s perfect. And everyone else who thinks differently is just jealous. (Insert more delusional talk right here.)
Lmao oh wait, don’t forget that she will never fail, she works real, real hard on her stripper moves, and she is the best singer on earth…-_-
