Chris Brown Faces $50M Lawsuit Over Brutal Backstage Assault at Texas Concert
July 23, 2024R&B singer Chris Brown and his entourage, along with Live Nation, are facing a $50 million lawsuit for allegedly assaulting four concert attendees at his show in Fort Worth, Texas.
The lawsuit details a brutal attack where the victims were surrounded, beaten with chairs, kicked, and stomped by Chris Brown and his associates backstage in an unprovoked incident.
Personal injury attorney Tony Buzbee filed the lawsuit against Chris Brown, emphasizing Brown's violent history and past legal troubles.
The plaintiffs, Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell, are currently undergoing medical treatment and expect to require more in the future due to the injuries sustained.
The altercation allegedly escalated after one of the men complimented Chris Brown on his performance, leading to an attack by Brown's crew triggered by a mention of a past conflict.
The incident unfolded in Brown's VIP area after the concert, involving a confrontation between Charles Bush and Chris Brown that resulted in violence erupting among the group.
The plaintiffs are seeking over $50 million in compensatory and punitive damages for the losses and expenses incurred as a result of the assault.
The plaintiffs' attorney, Tony Buzbee, expressed determination to pursue maximum damages allowed by law, including punitive damages, against Chris Brown and his associates.
The plaintiffs are seeking a temporary restraining order against all defendants named in the lawsuit.
Four men have filed the lawsuit in Harris County, Texas, targeting Chris Brown, Live Nation, Sinko Ceej, Hood Boss, and Yella Beezy as defendants.
Chris Brown's representatives, Live Nation, and other defendants have not responded to requests for comments regarding the allegations.
A hearing for the lawsuit against Chris Brown is scheduled for August 4 in Houston, where the legal battle over the alleged assault will continue.
