A class-action lawsuit has been filed in the wake of last week's disastrous Fyre Festival against it's organizers.
An event that was scheduled to begin last Friday, April 28 and promised luxurious accommodations and gourmet food on a private island turned out to be more like a horror movie. The conditions for those who paid around $12,000 for their tickets were so deplorable that the festival was postponed indefinitely and everyone was taken off the island by chartered planes.

As we reported, the high-priced tickets were supposed to include a music festival on a private island with luxury lodging and meals prepared by chefs and famous restaurateurs. However, the music acts pulled out, the "private island" was actually right next to a Sandals resort, the lodging was in half-built tents and the “gourmet” food was nothing more than just bread and cheese sandwiches.
So it's really no surprise that after the disaster someone would be looking at a lawsuit.
The Hollywood Reporter noted that celebrity attorney Mark Geragos filed a $100 million class-action lawsuit against the organizers of the Fyre Festival on behalf of his client, Daniel Jung. The suit alleges that the event "lacked adequate food, water, shelter and medical care [and] created a dangerous and panicked situation among attendees - suddenly finding themselves stranded on a remote island without basic provisions."
The suit went on to say that the event, which had the names of several celebs attached to it and was promoted by Ja Rule and businessman Billy McFarland, was more like The Hunger Games or Lord of the Flies than Coachella.
McFarland and Ja Rule did release statements saying that all the attendees would be receiving full refunds and free VIP passes for next year's event. Let's hope that one turns out a little better than this one did.
