Joey Morrissey, the club owner of M2 (aka Mansion, a popular venue in the city where they often host album release parties and other special events) is threatening to sue Beyonce for backing out on a performance. Bey was scheduled to perform tomorrow at M2, but yesterday she pulled out, even though the club had already spent $100,000 preparing for her show.

“To make up for the cancellation, Morrissey says Beyoncé offered to stop by the club “to hang out for an hour” on Sunday. He adds, “I mean, we sold tables for thousands of dollars for the show, and spent $100,000 renting a soundboard and other equipment, as per their stipulations. What good does her showing up for an hour do me? They’ve been totally unwilling to agree to another show.”

As a result, Morrissey says he’s now preparing to file suit against Beyoncé, claiming his place has suffered a “loss of reputation” in addition to the sunk cash. “We had an overwhelming response from our clubgoers, who were lining up to buy tickets and tables. This will come as a great disappointment to all of them,” he claims, adding, “If Beyoncé cancels and doesn’t give us a new date, this hurts our credibility in night life.” ”

Wow, that is just a hot mess. The club date was previously on Beyonce’s site, but has since been taken down. In Bey’s defense, we never even heard anyone talking about this concert and we’re right here in the city, so this is news to us.
