Today in "news you totally saw coming006 Archives" a $100 million lawsuit has been filed against the organizers of the Fyre Festival, or as you may know it, the largest social media disappointment ever.

The festival (if you can even call it that) -- co-organized by Ja Rule and Billy McFarland -- came under ~fyre~ last week for being a straight-up awful, utterly underwhelming event that came nowhere near the mind-blowingly luxurious expectations promised.

Rather than a model-filled weekend with picturesque views and delicious food, attendees who dropped thousands on tickets were given sorry-looking cheese sandwiches and a heavy dose of unorganized chaos. Now, all that remains are tons of bad memories and one class action lawsuit.

Despite the festival's statement offering ticket holders full refunds and the fact that Ja Rule and various entertainer/Instagram influencers (who ended up dropping out of the event last-minute) like Bella Hadid offered formal apologies, according to The Wrap,one unhappy man is still filing a lawsuit.

The publication states that a prominent Los Angeles defense attorney, Mark Geragos -- who has represented clients like Michael Jackson, Chris Brown and Kesha -- will be representing Daniel Jung, a man who regretfully attended the event and reportedly paid $2,000 for his ticket and travel arrangements to the Bahamas.

The $100 million Federal Class Action lawsuit against the rapper and other organizers, filed Sunday, is intended to cover those who found themselves in the same situation as Jung.

A section of the suit, posted on Twitter by Ben Meiselas, an attorney at Geragos & Geragos, states the festival's "lack of adequate food, water, shelter, and medical care created a dangerous and panicked situation among attendees -- suddenly finding themselves stranded on a remote island without basic provisions -- that was closer to The Hunger Gamesor Lord of the Fliesthan Coachella."

The document then goes on to reference the infamous photograph of a cheese sandwich posted by a festival goer, which is now being described as "bare rations."
