Beyonce Gets Sued By Some Delusional Guy
Filed under: Legal Matters > Beyonce
Some guy who is complaining that Beyonce and the production crew on her video for Why Don't You Love Me ruined his daily routine by "invading his neighborhood…waking him out of a peaceful sleep at 7 AM."
So now he's suing them. For thousands of dollars.
Philip Markowitz claims that the crew blocked his driveway several times a day and he even "missed several business calls while arguing calmly in his driveway."
LOLs!
A source says "he demanded compensation for the trespass on his property and the inconvenience and delay he had already suffered."
HIGHlarious! Good luck on winning that one, buddy!

…she should be sued for her shiteous "music"….
Just…lol.
I`d sue too being forced to listen to her sh*t music at 7am. "All the single ladies (put a ring on it)" wins song of the year…Yeah Okaaay, a song that sounds like a commercial for cheap jewelery wins, yeah OK no fix going on there right? What a joke.
Once again, 2 days late on the news.
I LOVE BEYONCE!!, she's the BEST! Poor fella, I'd pay him.
Why should she and her crew be allowed to trespass on people's property and interrupt their daily lives?
i agree. this guy should sue her. the fucking "celebrities" need to stop thinking that they can get away with anything.
He absolutely has a case. I am so sick and tired of celebrities thinking they can get away with anything.
He has a right to sue if the bitch was blocking his driveway. She's no more important than anyone else if she is fucking being a bitch.
I hope he wins, I understand him completely they are morons thinking that they are more important then other people. If they invade his home and disturb him they should pay!
You'd know about frivolous and stupid lawsuits douchebag. Remember the one in Toronto that you lost? lmao. The one you were so sure you'd win you promised the money to the Matthew Sheppard Foundation? The Foundation that said no thanks? You are a total failure.
FYI- For you haters of Perez, stop visiting and commenting. You are only giving him precious traffic that keeps him rolling in the dough. On second thought, never mind. Visit everyday and hate. Don't forget to clear your cache first!
Why shouldn't he be able to sue? If a team set up camp in front of your place you would have a field day, Perez. They ought to have gotten permits, and more importantly have done it in a legal location, @ 9-5 and not so damn early!
lol
So since she's a celeb and he's not he has no reason to be angry?
The Jews in Jewtown … they're really foaming at the mouth this month, for some reason. What's going on with the Jews ?!? First Ke$ha, and now this ?!?
I'd be pissed off too, These retards think they can shut down an entire block for weeks at a time to shoot god only knows what. When you have 3209480 people going in and out + obsessive fans that hear about where shes out..It becomes a nuisance. Not to mention unsafe for small children.
Why is this so outrageously funny to you? If what he's saying is true, his work life was affected, then he has a point. Just because she's Beyonce doesn't make her invincible or entitled.
poor bloke, although i would let them do it if it was somone like britney or mariah or gaga. not beyonce shes so overrated. 12 grammy? wtf
Ya those ppl think they can walk all over everyone. I bet the guy was pissed if what hes saying is true…I would be.
uh, he is not delusional. They had no right to block his driveway, trespass on HIS property and interrupt his daily life. I've actually had a group of people do that to me. Pain in the ass.
btw… WTF is she wearing?? I get it that shes gorgeous and can pull off anything, but….
I kinda agree with the guy…. I mean, who cares that she's a big singer, I don't want her in my house messing up with my life. I don't mess up with other people's lives to do my job. It's as simple as that.
I would be pissed too if I was woken up by some annoying twat making a "video" on my lawn.. hello, it's private property. What if there was an emergency and he couldn't get out? This is a classic case of celebs thinking they own the fucking world.
If they were on his property of course he should sue! Really how dare they go on his property without asking permission, WTF is that shit!!
Prob just a gut who wants money
What's so funny? I think he's right and I hope he wins.
Sue, sue, sue! That's the american way!
Re: Myzaree – that's what i don't get.
and that's what i need to do about my fuckin neighbors beating their carpet at 8:30 am every morning and every night!!
pathetic.
just pathetic. i would totally let her block my driveway. just a guy who wants money. if somebody else had blockes his driveway he wouldn't sue him for thousands of dollars if he even would.
i don't blame him at all! damn celebrities think they can do whatever they want! I hope he wins his case, it's unfair that the crew members were blocking his driveway and arguing with him as well.
Why is he delusional? He has every right to sue they trespassed on his property. They call it private property for a reason and I hope he wins. If they were smart they would have asked for premission.
I agree. It wouldn't hurt her to pay him. She's got too much anyway
That type of shit happen to my brother with his tattoo shop. a film crew was filming some scences with ben affleck wife and they closed a few blocks down the street. my brother was fucking pist that he had to reschedule some of the appointments that day for the next day, which was his daughter birthday. I side with the guy on this one.
SHE'S GUILTY 110%. THE MERE FACT THE BITCH WAS ON HIS PROPERTY IS PROOF ENOUGH. IF THEY VIOLATED LOCAL NOISE LAWS, HE DESERVES COMPENSATORY DAMAGES ON TOP!!
whenever there was filming at UCLA,which felt like every other week, it made the drive and parking unbearable. Fuck these studios and celebs. they should pay for it.
HAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He actually has a case.
I hope he wins too.
He only wants $25000 according to Forbes.
Not bad for half a day's work.
But could he sue the city if they had to repair a water main in front of his house, or if the city had to pave the road, whilst temporarily blocking his driveway ?
You can try, but you'd lose.
But when you sniff $ like how flies sniff shit a block away … you get on the phone to the boys in Jewtown !!!
"invading his neighborhood" If they had permits, then fyl.
Uhhhh yeah I would too. You pay taxes and own your home, you have a right to peace, specially at 7am. Specially if they're blocking his driveway and shit. I've called the cops on people when they've disrupted me early in the morning too… blocking my driveway… you have the right to.
If they are going to film near someone's home, they should have permission from each resident of that general area before assuming it's okay.
Shes a drama bitch anyways, no one cares. She can fork over the money the guy probably lost because of her shit video.
perez you have no idea what are you are talking about when it comes to anything!! he has a case and he is in no way delusional ..your the delusional one thinkin you got real friends…
I'll sue you for messing up my quiet time….Shut ur mouth Philip you prick…..Check out HIPHOPNEWS24-7.COM for all the current news updates and the realness….
Concentrate
why delusional? in these circumstances people often get payments. most professionals would make sure there was some kind of arrangement in place to compensate people for the use of their street and for the disruption caused. seems they didnt even tell anyone on the street they were going to be filming so no one could plan ahead, then tried to claim it was cos it was a 'low budget' shoot when people complained about having their driveways blocked.
A little OT but look at the girl next to her in the pic lol She must shop in the kids section
Have them Block Perez's driveway everyday and see how he feels
Honestly, I'd be pissed too. I doubt I'd sue, that seems extreme. But I totally see his point.
Sounds like a pretty inconsiderate video shoot. He could get something, but more in line with the moderate measure of inconvenience he suffered by their temporary takeover. Why didn't they have people to grease the wheels to keep inconvenienced souls happy so that it wouldn't come to this? A nice gift basket works wonders, and won't cost as much as this might.
Mr Perez , calling a person delusional in your headline is slanderous ! I hope you can back that up with proof .
If a film crew uses or even steps foot or crosses or blocks your property acess in any way without permission and or compensation you are dead in the water legally speaking and will have to pay up .
I gurantee if that's the case as I presume according to the article, the films production people will be held liable .
Homeowners , especially those in multi million dollar neighborhoods beleive it or not have rights Mr Perez
A film permit allows filming and always has restrictions and will NEVER allow trespassing or distruption of neighbors or their property , end of story . It happens all the time but the homeowners are entitled parties not the other way around .
I read this on TM….ZZZ the other day and they said that the guy had already received 10 g's for them using his property. I agree that celebs are entitled assholes that think they can do what they want but if he agreed to it and got his share of the money already then he has no real reason to sue…..
I can't wait to see the crew of 8 year old girls' take on this NEW video.
I'm thinking it will probably be the better of the two, as was the case with 'Single Ladies'.
He'll probably lose because most City bylaws say that noise is ok between 7a.m. and 10p.m. I know as I just put up with 6 days of the city jackhammering out asphalt and using a power saw to cut through decorative brick and I got no where with my complaints to the city.
Nancy , we have a word in the office here to describe people who think like you . The word is idiot . Apples and Oranges .
YOU can't compare city work ( local gov ) and their by-laws or city chater laws to that of a private film production and general law . People who think like you are the reason we are in buisness and doing well . Also disturbing the peace can occur at any hour and those who think you can make all the noise you want between 9am-10pm are absolutely mistaken .
Good for him I hope he wins. Fuck Beyonce in her song credit stealing fat ass.
Re: JB ESQ – You say you do well, because you get paid whether you win or lose. He already got paid before the shoot happened, and now he wants 25k more. He'll have to prove why he deserves 25k more in addition to the 10 he was paid, especially since the whole thing was only a perceived inconvenience for less than half a day, so 10k sounds more than generous.
So, it's people like you who convince the loser that he can get an out of court settlement, and when you lose, you still get paid, but he's out of pocket, and he may or may not take it out on you down the road.
Are you sure you're not one of the boys from Jewtown who've suddenly decided they've got superhuman senses of smell and can smell $ 12 blocks away ?!?
Re: ShoeWhore – That's completely different! If the city workers are there repairing something that has to be done he can't do anything about it. Besides repairs dont take that long. But if its something like an unnecessary beyonce video that takes days to make then yes, he has every right to complain.
Re: Myzaree – took the words out of my mouth! he isnt crazy at all! it sounds like they were being totally disrespectful of HIS job so they could do theirs, we all know how important fucking pop music is. fuck.
By the way in my office I work with wonderful people that are both black and white and some are are even Jewish , how about that .
he has a good case, and he'll walk away with something for sure.
alot of times, neighbours are paid or compensated in some way BEFORE people start thier work. but of course, Beyonce is all about her.
SHOE WHORE!!! I love you! you speak the truth! Keep up the good work
Delusional?..Perez Hilton is such a fucking loser. How the fuck is the guy delusional? If this guy filed suit i guarantee he'll win the case
how is that hilarious? if they were blocking his driveway and trespassing on his property don't you think he has a point?…
I hear he sues the city he lives in for every time he gets stopped by a red light, calling it gross misuse of his time.
he does have a case LOL, your not allwoed to block his driveway and tress pass…if the owner says move you have too…and they did not, he should win the case
I say go for it… if her "team" of people prevented her neighbor(s) from getting to and from work related appointments then it is indeed an invasion of privacy. Perez, you're so gaga over "celebrity" it seems you're immune to the "real world".
I agree with those who feel he SHOULD sue. I'm sick of effing celebrities thinking that they have special entitlements. If I blocked my neighbor's driveway and harassed him with loud music, he would have a case. I've seen film crews disrupt neighborhoods, and I have little sympathy for them.
Why is this funny? She's a b*tch for doing that…you're a b*tch for thinking it's funny.
isnt that what a location managers petty cash is for?
I'm afraid I have to agree to an extent. The filming could have been done at another time.
Re: NancyOttawa – It said they BLOCKED his driveway several times a day. It wasn't just a noise complaint. Didn't you read the article?
ALL people in that area should have been NOTIFIED prior and signed OKAY's for them to be there. Sounds like Bee's team was just cutting cost and if I was one of his neighbors, hell yeah, I'd join in 2!!
Re: LovelyCup – Yeah really!!! And he DOESN'T EVEN WRITE THIS BLOG ANYMORE, He employs people to!!!!!!! ALSO he was just offered 20 MILLION to buy out PEREZHILON.COM!! And Perez is a WHAT?!? EXACTLY, STFU haters you are the ones who create his paycheck every time you hit submit comment and reload his page, again and again and again! If you people truly hated him you'd stop coming here and visit and support OTHER GOSSIP SITES you DO AGREE with! Your only helping him, and HE JUST LAUGHS STRAIGHT TO THE BANK!!!!!!!
Re: #Cejers – C U NEXT TUESDAY CJ!!!!!! IVE BEEN WRITING U ON FB FOREVER, WHERE THE HECK HAVE U BEEN>?
He NEEDS TO SUE HER. She disturbed him and came into HIS neighborhood, sue her for all you got brah. Beyonce probably thinks she's the shit, she looks like diarrhea, and sounds so ghetto, she needs to take her ass back to school.
i swear to god, where did this idea come about, that taking thousands or millions of dollars away from someone or somebody would make the world a better and happier place? i mean if its legitimate, reasonable, and most importantly; REALIStic i understand, but not for the coffee being hot, or having an accident while robbing a bank. people are nuts, and people are nuts for just being absolutely fucking cool with it.
Re: laragasm – Beyonce's video doesn't trump this guy being able to get in and out of his driveway in spite of his repeated requests for them not to block his drive. I agree with you in principle, but when people have no damn manners, and push you around in your own property, you have to go after their pocketbooks in a case like this.
Those outfits are her problem.
so because this bitch is rich, and a "celeb" - she can invade people's property and disturb the peace whenever she wants? I'm so sick of celebrity justice. I hope this guy wins! Beyonce really needs to stop making "music". Every cd has maybe 1 or 2 songs that are semi-enjoyable, the rest sucks. This girl needs to get over herself.
*siigh* Although I am no fan of Beyonce or her music, I gotta say this guy is just another leech.
Stop acting like a douche.
Sounds like a good lawsuit to me. If Beyonce's business continuously broke the law and disrupted this mans life, he should be compensated. His property is not someone elses movie studio!!!
This dude should b proud that Beyonce filmed her video at his house, he's damn lucky. Idk what he's complaining about. I luv Beyonce.
The law is clearly on the side of the homeowner here .
I applaud anyone who stands up to these pompus celebs that think they are above others and can bully people around .
How is this guy delusional when he wanted to come and go freely from his own home without the circus drama ?
If celebs and film crews can't fully respect property owners in the neighborhoods they film in they always have studios .
Re: polishhottie1 –
The homeowner should be proud to be because its Beyonce ?
Thanks for the good laugh your comment provides. I'm sure that's a great legal excuse for trespassing . Maybe the judge and jury will also be Beyonce fans too huh ?
he has every right too. they trespassed without his permission and fucked up his schedule
what the fuck? first off,
i would sue if i had to listen to her music unwillingly at 7 am
its annoying enough on the radio and that why wont you love me song is her worst work of all.
shes no better than us just because she has more money and is famous. no fucking famous person should get special treatment and get away with things like this. she should be sued. she is not above us or the law.shes just one person who got lucky.
if they blocked his driveway. thats trespassing his property and he is NOT delusional for suing for that.
i hope he gets a shit load of money from this devil worshipping bitch.
she left the house looking like that? she looks like a hobo wtf u made 85M
Fuck beyonce!
I hope he wins…
Re: laragasm – I dont think he's suing Beyonce to make the world a better place . Although I do believe this will have a positive effect and send a strong message to the film industry that they must "behave" ( be law abiding ) while on location and respect property owners rights and the law .
Not only is this guy in the right , but it should serve as an example that you can't trample on others because you think you can get away with it . This lawsuit should make film crews take note and think twice before thinking a film permit entitles them to violate the legal rights of property owners .
Re: jerseygirl415 –
I SO AGREE WITH YOU jersey girl! Celebrities are people just like you and me. Yes they have amazing talents can sing, act, dance ect, but does that mean they are better then the rest of humanity? I think everyone has some sort of a talent in one way or another …does that mean we can trespass on other peoples property …NO. Does that mean we can break the law in any way…NO. So why is it that these people on TV can do whatever the hell they want and they get no consequences…FAIRNESS FOR ALL should start being applied. This is just craziness.
She is celebrity so she can do anything!
i am so disgusted with all the information about beyonce. she lies about everything from her year of birth to songs she says she writes-but really she steals. "if i were a boy" was wriiten and performed by b.c jean. beyonce was taken to court by b.c jean and b was made to give credit where it's due. beyonce is caught in so many lies she i'm suprised she even knows her own name. jay-z in a freak illumanati member. you can research who these people really are. not what the media hypes them up to be. beyonce's dad just got a women pregnant–not his wife–not a very godly man now. he has fame whored his daugter out. beyonce turned her back on all her destiny's child members saying that they quit the group when in reality beyonce replaced them without notice. jay -z also got a women pregnant 5 years ago and paid her to keep silent for awhile. hey b and j-money can't buy you everything. these two are a match made in hell……a bad duo. i'm so sick of beyonce pretending to be sweet and innocent and them performing in front of young viewers in lingere??? no ethics- no morals
oh yeah beyonce one other thing….you look possessed when performing on stage. you look spastic and love to copy copy copy. one thing is you have an amazing voice but that's it. you are nothing more than a media puppet pumping out whorish messages. you married jay-z who loves to sing about screwing hoes and not feeding them. did you not know he and aaliyah had a thing and that he and foxy brown were getting it on???? no i'm sure beyonce you don't care cuz you love the fame. your vanity has swallowed you too. you went the wrong way. i'm so tired of hollyweird and their whores. beyonce isn't a role model for real classy women-no beyonce is a role model for hoes in deguise
