Singer Chris Brown is facing serious accusations of physical assault once again, as he has been sued for allegedly beating four men backstage at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas after a performance on his “11:11 Tour.” The district court complaint filed in Harris County, Texas alleges that Brown and his entourage surrounded the plaintiffs, throwing chairs at them and repeatedly kicking, stomping, and beating them. The filing claims that the violent assault by Brown resulted in severe injuries to all plaintiffs.
Representatives for Brown have not yet responded to these allegations. The plaintiffs, Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Damarcus Powell, named several members of Brown’s entourage as well as tour promoter Live Nation in their lawsuit. The incident allegedly occurred after the plaintiffs were invited backstage to meet Brown and waited half an hour to do so.
The lawsuit details how a compliment to Brown led to a member of his crew reminding Bush of past disagreements with the singer, resulting in Brown allegedly ordering his entourage to attack him. The filing describes a chaotic scene where members of Brown’s entourage assaulted the plaintiffs, causing injuries that required medical treatment.
The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages in excess of $50 million, along with compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages. The complaint also points out the criminal records of some of Brown’s entourage members and accuses Live Nation of failing to ensure customer safety at Brown’s concerts.
This latest accusation adds to Brown’s history of assault, including the infamous incident in 2009 where he punched Rihanna repeatedly. The lawsuit highlights the ongoing legal and ethical issues surrounding Brown and his entourage, as well as the responsibilities of tour promoters in ensuring the safety of concert attendees.
