Employees of Fyre Festival creators Ja Rule and Billy McFarland have accused the pair of ‘not caring’ about the event being doomed to fail.

The unnamed former workers told Variety on Thursday that the pair refused to extend the launch date to give enough time to prepare, and were more concerned with ‘being legends’ than making a good event.

That came a day after the two were slapped with a third lawsuit accusing them of expecting disaster – but leaving the plaintiffs ‘stuck on a remote island to fend for themselves’ anyway.

Promotions: The pair promoted the event with photos of models such as Emily Ratajkowski (second from left) and Bella Hadid (third from left). But the reality was very different

Filed in New York’s Second District Court by plaintiffs Matthew Herlihy and Anthony Lauriello, the suit demands unspecified damages for alleged negligence, fraud, misrepresentation.

According to Rolling Stone, it also claims violation of consumer protection laws in all 50 states – something that would allow anyone in the US to join the suit.

Herlihy and Lauriello say they spent $1,027 each on tickets to the festival. They also claim to have spent just under $1,000 each on pre-paid wristbands to spend at the event – wristbands that never arrived.

The pair are also suing for additional expenses caused by the cancellation of the festival, and Lauriello says his sneakers, headphones and pants were also stolen there due to lack of security.

The suit claims that the defendants ‘were aware that they were in fact ill prepared for the festival’ and ‘misled and defrauded’ the pair with ‘false and fraudulent pretenses’.

It says Herlihy, Lauriello and class plaintiffs ‘were stuck on a remote island to fend for themselves’ ‘in horrid conditions’.

As in the previous lawsuit, Ja Rule and McFarland are named as the defendants – but this suit also names Grant Margolin, the festival’s 24-year-old chief marketing officer.

All three men were slammed by an unnamed pair of former employees in an interview with Variety on Thursday.

Reality: The ‘festival’ (pictured) lacked proper infrastructure and security, the new suit says. It is a class action suit but its present two plaintiffs each paid more than $1,000 to attend

Disaster: They also put around $1,000 on wristbands to spend at the festival – and have yet to receive them, the suit claims. They want unspecified damages

The pair said they were brought on board to produce the festival after the previous staff had been fired for complaining that the festival couldn’t be done.

The problem? They were right, the duo claimed. But they said none of the men wanted to hear it.

They told the organizers to push back the date by a year, to give time to install infrastructure such as running water that should already have been in place six months prior.

It was like they didn’t care: They literally kept saying, ‘We’re gonna be legends.’

‘We said… “If you push the date a year, people will be upset. But once you deliver what you promised, they’ll get over it.”

‘But it was like they didn’t care: They literally kept saying, “We’re gonna be legends.”‘

They added: ‘I think they were just rich guys who had always been able to pay their way through things and pull them off somehow, and they just didn’t understand that the timeline was too short and they didn’t want to hear it.’

They stressed that Ja Rule was the least involved of the three – that McFarland was the ‘decision maker’ and that Margolin was far more involved.

‘Genius’: Employees claim that organizers, including Grant Margolin (pictured) ‘didn’t care’ that it was going to fail. Margolin reportedly called himself a ‘genius’ and mocked the female workers for ‘not smiling’

‘The marketing person behind this entire thing is Grant,’ one said. ‘He kept saying in meetings, “I’m a marketing genius, I’m a prodigy – [the concerns] don’t matter, we’re gonna sell this and it’s gonna be amazing.”

‘He said that over and over and over.

‘And after we went down to the Bahamas to assess the situation and we realized there was no possible way [the festival] was going to happen, he told the man who hired us that he wasn’t happy with [us] because we were a bunch of women who didn’t smile enough.’

The two previous suits were filed in Los Angeles and named Ja Rule and McFarland as defendants.

The second of them, filed last Tuesday, potentially opened the door for the social media ‘influencers’, who were paid up to $250,000 per post to promote it, may also be on the hook.

They included Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski.

Wednesday’s suit, like the two before it, is only in a putative stage – it remains to be seen whether any of them will be approved by the courts.
