The latest lawsuit filed over the deadly Astroworld tragedy is seeking at least $750 million from a long list of defendants including Travis Scott, Drake, Apple, Live Nation – even Britney Spears’ former management company Tri Star Sports & Entertainment.

The complaint, filed Tuesday in Texas, calls out Tri Star boss Lou Taylor by name and includes an image of Taylor posing for a photo with Scott, one of her clients. The image embedded in the filing was tweeted by a member of the #FreeBritney movement Nov. 6, the day after the deadly crowd-control disaster that killed 10 people in Houston.

A lawyer representing Tri Star declined to comment when reached by Rolling Stone on Wednesday.

Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, who filed the complaint on behalf of more than 125 plaintiffs, tells Rolling Stone he believes all the defendants “ignored” a series of red flags and should be held liable.

He said no one was “incentivized to stop this show,” from the permitting process through the final song performed onstage, because so much money was at stake.

“I guarantee you, had the crowd attacked the stage or interfered with the performers themselves, oh my goodness, they would have called in every police officer within a hundred miles. But as long as the performers weren’t in any kind of jeopardy, who gives a **** about the people in the crowd, I guess, was the attitude. And it can’t be like that,” he said.

The parents of victim Axel Acosta are lead plaintiffs in the new lawsuit, bringing claims of wrongful death. Acosta, 21, died at the Nov. 5 concert after he was “crushed by the incited, unruly and out-of-control crowd with such force that he could no longer breathe,” the paperwork states.

The suit, which also claims gross negligence, lays out a detailed timeline alleging the concert at NRG Park had problems with “mobs” of concertgoers breaching checkpoints, pushing through 10-foot fences, jumping barricades and ignoring COVID screening stations throughout the day. Shortly after Scott took the stage at 9 p.m., reports of people with crush injuries and difficulty breathing started pouring in, it claims. Even after a “mass-casualty event” was declared by Houston Police at 9:38 p.m., the show was allowed to go on, with Scott performing for “another 40 minutes, even introducing and performing with [Drake],” the paperwork states.

I hope her church going *** knows that she's going to hell.

Karma coming for her *** 

[HisNameisChase]

I hope the KARMAmel pie she has been baking all of these years tastes bitter, just like her.

Get a bib, Lou, because you'll be eating karma for the rest of your life. ✌

Just what I like to hear before going to bed

I hope those who were killed and their families/loved ones get justice.

Seems like the movement against Loucifer grows each day.

Those poor kids that just wanted to go to the concert to have fun are no longer with us 😔

[JessicaS89]

Britney fans started her downfall, this tragedy is continuing it. Hopefully her clients will start dropping her faster than Britney can turn out number one hits.

[Who Can I Trust]

Not by using Britney’s money *allegedly* to pay for this! 

[Broccoli Spears]

I hope she embezzles the money from Kim’s trust to pay for it

[Y2KLady]

I knew it. 

Justice is served.
