A prominent entertainment attorney has filed a $100 million lawsuit against Fyre Festival co-founders Ja Rule and Billy McFarland, alleging fraudulent behavior that cost attendees thousands of dollars on travel, lodging, and time off work.
Mark Geragos, whose clients have included Michael Jackson, Winona Ryder, and Chris Brown, is representing Daniel Jung, who paid $2,000 to attend the festival.
The Wrap reports that the suit describes the post-apocalyptic hell festival goers discovered upon arriving on the island Thursday in detail, including mentions of the FEMA relief tents and the lack of security. Also included in the suit is the now-viral photo of the cheese sandwich given to at least one attendee instead of the catered food promised by organizers.
I liked the tents
DEEEEEEEE-frickin’-licious. Like a big mac. I’m lovin’ it.
It does...And yet CNN can’t seem to see it being covered 24/7??
oops, this is an excerpt.
Reminds me of the scene in “Near Dark” in which Bill Paxton’s vampire character strolls down the bar after gorging on terrified patrons, smiles, and as he sucks blood off his fingers, says “Finger-lickin’ good!” Great movie.
Haven’t heard from Geragos for awhile. I see he’s alive.
The tents are nice, but not ‘luxury accommodations’, no bathrooms, not even port-a-potties.
The caterers and other vendors pulled out for lack of pay.................
That sad looking cheese sandwich is iconic
Those tents look pretty cool. Kind of like yurts.
I tend to camp out 20-30 nights a year and am always on the lookout for new gear. Those look cool as a base camp type tent, but they also look heavy and probably somewhat time consuming to set up.
Most of my tents can set up or take down in about 5 minutes, in the dark, when it’s raining and 35 mph winds.
This will make a great documentary.......................
You don't hear about stuff like this from rock/metal festivals.
$2000 bucks for cheese sandwich and FEMA tent.
He’s a pit bull lawyer. These guys are in deep do-do........

Looks like I was wrong!...... There was 'A' port-a-potty!................
On GMA this AM they reported there wasn’t even a stage......................
That Johnny would be full to the top in a matter of hours.
I’m surprised the Bahama government didn’t step in to prevent a human disaster................
Has Michelle Antoinette gone into the catering business?
“Not my fault but I’m taking responsibility”
Tell me how that excuse works out for ya Mr Rule.
