Music superstar Garth Brooks is being sued for allegedly limiting seating for wheelchair-bound fans so that attractive women can sit in the first two rows, The Associated Press says.
Brooks‘ attorney denies the allegations, saying people in the front rows are generally Brooks‘ friends.
A Seattle judge ruled Friday that the complaint can proceed to trial but said Brooks‘ liability is limited because he has no control over concert operations at the Key Arena in Seattle.
Joanne Lawrence says that Brooks and his promoters violated the U.S. Americans With Disabilities Act at several concerts in 1998. Lawrence, the head of Disabled Veterans Have Rights, Too, has filed similar lawsuits against the TacomaDome and Ticketmaster after a Brooks show in 1993.
