Chris Brown is facing a $50 million lawsuit over allegations of a “brutal, violent assault” carried out by him and his entourage on four concertgoers. The incident reportedly occurred after Brown’s performance at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday night, July 19.
Court documents obtained by People Magazine allege that Brown, along with Conway Hood Boss and Sinko Ceej, “brutally and severely beat” Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Damarcus Powell backstage.
According to the complaint, the attack was unprovoked and involved the defendants surrounding the plaintiffs, throwing chairs, and repeatedly kicking, stomping, and beating them.
The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages exceeding $50 million, citing “pecuniary losses, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish, and past, present, and future medical expenses.”
The complaint also criticizes Live Nation for continuing its relationship with Brown despite his history of bad conduct and violent behavior, including the 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna, for which Brown accepted a plea deal involving community labor, probation, and counseling.
The suit references multiple other alleged incidents involving Brown, underscoring a pattern of behavior that plaintiffs argue should have precluded his continued professional support.
This lawsuit marks another chapter in Chris Brown’s controversial career, as the plaintiffs highlight the ongoing risk posed by his alleged actions and the responsibility of those who continue to facilitate his professional engagements.
