An Oregon woman has filed a $9.2 million lawsuit against pop star Justin Bieber, alleging she suffered permanent hearing loss at his Portland concert two years ago, AP reported.

In the lawsuit, Stacey Wilson Betts of Wilsonville, a mother of five, alleges that she sustained the injury after Bieber climbed into a heart-shaped gondola and was pulled over the crowd. The lawsuit alleges Bieber enticed the fans into a "frenzy of screams" by waving his arms, and the sound exceeded safe decibel levels.

The gondola "acted as a sound conductor, creating a sound blast that permanently damaged both my ears," Betts wrote. She is seeking money for medical expenses, pain and suffering and loss of quality of life. （點(diǎn)擊《華盛頓郵報(bào)》網(wǎng)站查看原文）
