Travis Scott is being sued once more for wrongful death by a woman who claims that she had a miscarriage after experiencing severe injuries at the Astroworld Festival.
Woman Alleges She Had a Miscarriage as a Result of Her Astroworld Injuries— Sues Travis Scott
The latest lawsuit was filed by Shanazia Williamson against Scott, Live Nation, ScoreMore, Valle Services SMG, ASM Global, and the Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation. She alleges in the lawsuit that she attended the festival with her husband, Jarawd Owens, while she was pregnant.

The suit, which has been obtained by Rolling Stone and TMZ, reads, “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.”
The filing adds that the 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.”
In Texas, where the suit has been filed, a fetus can be included in wrongful death claims. It should also be noted it does not matter how far along the mother was in the pregnancy.
Nearly 400 individual lawsuits filed by victims at the festival have been compiled into one case in February, seeking billions of dollars in damages. The lawsuit is set to represent close to 2,800 victims claiming that Scott and the organizers were legally negligent in how they planned and executed Astroworld.

In Scott’s one and only interview since the event, he was asked whether he thought people were “forcing responsibility onto him” for the tragedy. He agreed and went on to imply that the media was deliberately blaming him.
Travis has maintained that he was unaware of fans being crushed to death following intense criticism for continuing to play for a reported 37 minutes after emergency responders declared a mass casualty incident at the event.
Ten concertgoers between the ages of 9 and 27 were killed in a deadly crowd surge while Scott performed at the November 5 festival.
