A Russian court threw out a $10 million lawsuit filed by conservative activists after the singer’s 2012 show in St. Petersburg.
MOSCOW — Madonna is boasting about not paying a $1 million fine allegedly slapped on her for supporting Russia’s LGBTQ community at a 2012 show in St.
Petersburg. But a Russian court threw out the lawsuit filed by a group of conservative activists, and the singer was never fined a single ruble.
The debacle centers around a show Madonna played on Aug. 9, 2012, in St. Petersburg, during which she voiced her support for the local gay community.
