Is Travis Scott being sued for Astroworld tragedy?
Travis is facing a number of lawsuits following the Astroworld tragedy.
The victims
Texas-based attorney Thomas J. Henry has filed a $2billion lawsuit against Scott and others involved on behalf of all of the Astroworld victims.
Mr Henry stated: “The defendants stood to make an exorbitant amount of money off of this event, and they still chose to cut corners, cut costs, and put attendees at risk.”
In an interview with Hollywood Life Mr Henry claimed the injuries his clients sustained after the Astroworld crowd surge ranged from heart attacks, brain injuries to broken bones, extensive bruising and bleeding.
The attorney said: “Those who were injured are still very traumatized because they had to step over dead bodies.”
He further detailed: “The crushing effect was so heavy and so hard. They couldn’t breathe. They couldn’t get out.”
He filed the suit against the rapper, Apple Music, Live Nation, NRG Stadium and guest performer Drake on behalf of 282 victims.
All the entities involved have been sued for $2billion in damages.
Security guards
Two security guards who worked at Astroworld festival have filed a lawsuit claiming they sustained injuries.
As Rolling Stone reports, Samuel and Jackson Bush were hired by security company AJ Melino & Associates to work the festival at Houston’s NRG Park on November 5.
The uncle and nephew allege that while attempting to help concertgoers as the crowd began to surge during Scott’s headline set, Samuel was trampled multiple times, broke his hand and injured his back, while Jackson’s shoulder was injured.
28 people and corporations have been named in the Bush suit, including Scott, his label Cactus Jack, festival organisers Live Nation and ScoreMore, NRG Park and AJ Melino & Associates.
According to the Bushes, AJ Melino & Associates failed to adequately prepare those it contracted to work security at the festival.
They allege there were no background checks carried out for those employed, no training was provided, and little instruction was given prior to guards beginning their shifts.
Jackson Bush commented during a press conference: “For the most part, they told us where to stand, not to let people run in, and to be safe and not to put our hands on anybody.”
