Madonna is targeted in a lawsuit by a man who attended her Celebration Tour performance in Inglewood, California with an 11-year-old girl who was "shocked" by its alleged inclusion of semi-nude women simulating sex acts.
Justen Lipeles claims the Queen of Pop subjected concertgoers to "pornography without warning" and started the show over 90 minutes late in a venue where she allegedly demanded the air conditioning be turned off, creating an unbearably hot environment.
"Imagine taking your 11-year-old daughter to a pop concert when in the middle of the concert, the women on stage remove their tops and are completely topless," said his lawyers at Lipeles Law Group in a statement to Entertainment Tonight.
"They then begin to act out sexual situations including cunnilingus, and digital penetration amongst other pornographic type situations. This is with absolutely no warning to anyone who is offended by this type of content, and especially those who bring children to the concert."
Lipeles argues that there should have been explicit warnings about the content of the show, especially for those who brought minors.
In the lawsuit, Lipeles accuses Madonna and promoter Live Nation of multiple offences, including breach of contract, false advertising and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He is demanding a jury trial and compensatory damages.
Madonna's Celebration Tour has sparked other legal actions as well.
Two additional class-action lawsuits have been filed against the singer for her notorious tardiness, with plaintiffs arguing that her habitual late starts show a blatant disregard for her fans.
Madonna has responded to similar complaints in the past, asserting that it is unreasonable for fans to expect the headliner to start on time.
Despite these legal battles, Madonna's tour continues to draw large crowds and positive reviews. However, the controversy surrounding her performance practices remains a hot topic among concertgoers and critics alike.
