She has a $1,000,000 lawsuit against her in a town in Colombia because she didn't perform.
Quote:
Miami Beach resident Paulina Rubio is sometimes called the Mexican Madonna, but the Latin pop princess left a stadium full of fans, including the president of Colombia, singing the blues when she didn't show up for a concert in August.
"I mean, that was a total embarrassment and I felt like I was gonna die, " said Carlos Gutierrez, the promoter who arranged the concert.
"What is the most important thing that an artist can do? Show up and perform in a professional manner, she didn't do the most basic obligation under the contract," said Richard Wolfe, the lawyer representing Gutierrez, a Colombian non-profit music group, and an agency of the Colombian government, all of whom are listed as plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Rubio.
They're alleging breach of contract, saying Rubio's absence cost them a total of $980,000. The lawsuit alleges that Rubio agreed to play three concerts in Colombia. The stops in Bogota and Medellin were flawless, but the six-months pregnant singer never made it to the show celebrating the new president's inaugural in the city of Tunja.
"It was total chaos, her band and her whole total crew was ready at the venue and she simply didn't show up," Gutierrez said.
Wolfe said Gutierrez went out of his way to yield to demands that weren't in the contract.
"She certainly was given a plane, ground transportation, a military escort, everything that you could possibly do to get her to the concert, in time for the concert, was made available and she simply chose not to leave her presidential suite," said Wolfe.
