E! Entertainment Online reports that Oregonian Stacey Wilson Betts claims in court documents that Mr Bieber ‘climbed into a heart shaped gondola and was pulled out over the crowd,’ creating a ‘wave like effect of screaming’ that ‘enticed the crowd into a frenzy of screams by… waving his arms in a quick and upward motion.’
The complaint continues to say that owing to the ‘negligence of Justin Bieber’ as well as that of the promoters and sound engineers responsible for  maintaining ‘safe decibels at all times during their events’, the steel gondola acted as ‘a sound conductor’, creating a ‘sound blast’ that permanently damaged both of Ms Betts’ ears.
Ms Betts can potentially look forward to a Twitter backlash from the teenage crooner, who boasts almost 25m followers on the social media site.
But as far as the singer, his team and the concert organisers are concerned, silence reigns.
