Madonna‘s legal team has labelled the class action lawsuit against the singer for showing up late on stage as a “harassment campaign”.More than one class action lawsuit has been filed over her late starts during her recent ‘Celebration’ 40th anniversary tour. In January, Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden, two fans who bought tickets to the December 13 date of Madonna’s ‘Celebration’ shows at the Barclays Center, filed a lawsuit against Madonna in New York for starting the concert more than two hours past the stipulated 8:30pm start time.The lawsuit accused her of not only breaching contracts with ticket buyers, but also of “false advertising, negligent representation, and unfair and deceptive trade practices”.A few months later, Madonna asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit filed against her.

That is not a cognisable injury.”Per Billboard, the parties attributed the delay to a technical difficulty experienced during the soundcheck for the December 13 date.Now, Madonna’s lawyers have addressed the claims again and made it clear that they have not agreed to any settlement with the plaintiffs.
After they initially responded, the plaintiffs believed this was tantamount to a settlement agreement, leading their lawyer to file a settlement notice.Madonna’s lawyers have now asked a judge to strike out the settlement notice. While they did acknowledge they had communicated with the plaintiffs’ own lawyers, they argued the notice of settlement was false, characterising it as a “harassment campaign”.The judge agreed to the request,

Madonna fans who sued the singer over the delayed start time of her ‘Celebration Tour’ show in New York have voluntarily dismissed their lawsuit.Plaintiffs Michael Fellows and Jason Alvarez gave notice of their dismissal with prejudice, which means that their claims cannot be tried again (via Rolling Stone).In a letter filed yesterday (Wednesday June 19), Jeff Warshafsky – who was representing both Madonna and Live Nation in the case – said that the dismissal “was not the result of any settlement” between the parties.He added that Madonna and the promoter “do not agree with plaintiffs’ position that each party should bear its own fees and costs” as the dismissal notice initially stated. He pointed toward their legal expenses, including “filing two motions to dismiss” and opposing the false settlement notice that the court recently spiked.Warshafsky wrote: “Defendants believe that this action was a frivolous strike suit designed to force them to incur legal expenses.“Plaintiffs have now abandoned this lawsuit when it became clear that this approach would not result in a settlement payment and that they would need to oppose defendants’ motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint.”The plaintiffs first filed the suit against Madonna in January, after attending one of her shows at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn the previous month (December 13).
