This Is The Stupidest Lawsuit We've Ever Seen (And That's Saying A Lot)

Pop sensation Justin Bieber has been hit with a $9 million lawsuit, which in the grand scheme of things isn't all that surprising. After all, Americans (and unfortunately, some Australians) are all out to make a quick buck. But this is the worst reason we've ever heard (from The Courier-Mail):

"The 18-year-old pop star is being sued for $9 million by a woman who claims her hearing was damaged at one of his concerts. 


 Stacey Wilson Betts says her hearing loss occurred after she took her daughter to the singer's concert on July 14, 2010 in Portland, Oregon. Stacey said it was incredibly loud inside the arena due to shrieking fans. 


 "I was injured by a sound blast that exceeded safe decibel levels. I suffer hearing loss, tinnitus and hyperacusis in both ears", Betts claimed in the lawsuit, TMZ reports. 


 The suit alleges that Bieber "created a wave like effect of screaming by pointing into various sections of the arena." As a result, Betts claims she now suffers from tinnitus, which causes a constant pulsing, whooshing sound that makes it hard to sleep, along with other hearing-related damage. 


 The woman is suing Bieber, his label Island Def Jam Records, the concert promoter and the arena for a whopping $US9.23 million in damages."


This is a new low. After this law suit fails, we're tipping she will sue the fans in the crowd for cheering too loudly.
