Travis Scott asks for the Astroworld lawsuits to be dismissed, but Live Nation rejects the charges.
Travis Scott has asked to be discharged from various cases he's mentioned in as defendants continue to respond to the hundreds of lawsuits filed in the aftermath of the Astroworld Festival.
The move is the rapper's first retaliation for the lawsuits that have been stacking up since the tragedy last month.
According to one of Scott's representatives, he has disputed all of the charges made against him in 11 different lawsuits, and he will certainly file many more motions to dismiss in the future.
He's named in the majority of the almost 300 lawsuits filed in Harris County when crowds surged to the stage towards the opening of Scott's act in November, killing ten people and injuring hundreds more. Scott "is not legally accountable" for the catastrophe, according to the spokesman.
Scott responded to one of the eleven suits.
Scott responded to one of the 11 lawsuits brought by Bhaghu Shahani, the father of Bharti Shahani, one of the ten people killed at the event.
Scott was accused of carelessness, among other things, alongside several other defendants such as Live Nation and ScoreMore, as well as the venue NRG Park and other security agencies.
In other documents filed Monday, Live Nation and its subsidiary ScoreMore, Astroworld's promoters, as well as the Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation, which owns venue NRG Park, denied all of the allegations leveled against them. Those defendants, on the other hand, did not ask for their cases to be dismissed.
As the Houston Police Department and plaintiffs' attorneys continue to gather information as part of their investigations into what went wrong at the festival, they'll be looking for clues as to who is most responsible.
Prominent lawyers like Ben Crump, who is representing a number of concertgoers, including the family of Ezra Blount, a nine-year-old kid who was killed.
Prominent attorneys, such as Ben Crump, who is representing numerous concertgoers, including the family of Ezra Blount, a nine-year-old boy who died at the concert, have probed Live Nation in particular because of its clout as the world's largest show producer.
Several victims' relatives have also turned down Scott's promises to cover their loved ones' burial costs, telling Rolling Stone that they believe the offer is only a public relations stunt and that they will instead let the courts decide.
Attorneys filed a combined application to Texas' Supreme Court last week to consolidate the cases to one judge to help streamline the convoluted legal proceedings, which now number in the hundreds.
