Travis Scott has reportedly been ‘sued by a woman who has claimed she suffered a miscarriage after going to the Astroworld Festival‘.
According to Rolling Stone, Shanazia Williamson and her husband, Jarawd Owens, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the rapper, Live Nation and ScoreMore, the security company Valle Services SMG, ASM Global, and the Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation, in December.
They are apparently seeking ‘monetary relief’ in the ‘excess of $1million’.

The suit reportedly states: “While in attendance at the festival, Shanazia was trampled and crushed resulting in horrific injuries and ultimately the death of her and Jarawd’s unborn child.
“In addition, Shanazia sustained injuries to her shoulder, back, leg, chest, stomach and other parts of her body.”
It continues: “Defendants’ failure to plan, design, manage, operate, staff, and supervise the event was a direct and proximate cause of Shanazia’s injuries and death of her and Jarawd’s unborn child.”
Reportedly, the lawsuit also claims that the defendants experienced inadequate security and medical personnel when at the music event. They also alleged that safety hazards were not recognised.
In Texas, the law currently states that a wrongful death suit can also be applied to foetuses.

He added: “Anytime I can make out anything that’s going on, you know, I stop the show and you know, help them get the help they need. I could just never imagine the severity of the situation.
