<\/div>\nChris Brown<\/a>, along with several of his entourage and his\u00a011:11<\/em>\u00a0tour promoter Live Nation, is being sued for $50 million for the alleged “brutal, violent assault” of four concertgoers.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nAccording to the filing from Sunday, July 21, the incident reportedly took place following the R&B singer’s concert on Friday night at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nThe lawsuit, obtained by PEOPLE, claims that Brown and Conway, Hood Boss (a.k.a. Omololu Omari Akinlolu) and Sinko Ceej \u201cbrutally and severely beat\u201d four men \u2014 Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and Damarcus Powell \u2014 in what was allegedly an unprovoked attack backstage at the show.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nThe complaint also claims that Live Nation continued their relationship with Brown despite his history of \u201cbad conduct and violent conduct” and \u201cshamelessly profits and promotes Brown\u2019s The\u00a011:11\u00a0<\/em>Tour and brought Brown to Texas for financial gain.”<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n\u201cThis is Texas. The people here don\u2019t care how important or famous you think you are, you have an obligation to follow the laws and conduct yourself in an appropriate way. Unprovoked violence can\u2019t and won\u2019t be tolerated. We intend to seek all damages that the law allows against Brown and his cohorts, to include punitive damages,” said Tony Buzbee, attorney for the plaintiffs, in a statement.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nReps for Brown, Live Nation, Conway, Akinlolu and Ceej did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n\u201cThe violence included Brown and his entourage surrounding the Plaintiffs, throwing chairs at them, and repeatedly kicking, stomping, and beating them,\u201d the complaint states. \u201cThe unprovoked violence included multiple strikes to the Plaintiffs\u2019 heads and chests, and ultimately involved stomping them while they were down. The brutal, violent assault participated in and directed by Brown, severely injured all Plaintiffs.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nAccording to the lawsuit, the four men were invited into the VIP area of Brown’s concert where they were allegedly waiting for the “Look at Me” artist for 30 minutes. As they had grown “tired” of waiting, Bush says he made his way to the exit where he congratulated Brown on his set. That’s when one of Brown’s crew allegedly yelled, \u201cMan, you don\u2019t remember you two were beefing?\u201d The lawsuit claims that Brown then replied, \u201cOh yeah, we were\u2026I don\u2019t forget s—\u201d before telling his alleged accomplices to \u201cf—\u201d Bush up.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nThe plaintiffs then claim that they were followed into a hallway by “seven to 10” of Brown’s crew as they tried to leave, but they were attacked.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n“One of Brown\u2019s entourage, known by the alias Sinko, ran to the left side of the crowd and punched Bush in the chest,\u201d the suit alleges. \u201cSimultaneously, another of Brown\u2019s entourage, stage alias Hood Boss, picked up a chair and threw it at Bush\u2019s head.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nAccording to the complaint, Brown allegedly told one of his accomplices, Markies Deandre Conway (a.k.a. Yella Beezy), and several others to \u201cf—\u201d Parker up, leaving him badly beaten. The lawsuit claims Parker became trapped in a stairwell where he was then attacked by Brown, among others.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n\u201cUpon instruction by Brown, Parker was then punched in the face and chest, kicked in the head for over ten minutes, and stomped on by Defendant Brown and his associates,\u201d the suit alleges. \u201cBrown encouraged his companions to join in the assault simultaneously. Brown and his entourage then continued to beat Plaintiff Parker closed fisted for almost minutes, repeatedly stomping on Defendant Parker\u2019s head, kicking his face and ribs, and causing severe bodily injury.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nAccording to the complaint, the four alleged victims all needed medical treatment. Specifically, Parker was hospitalized and \u201cwill need to undergo extensive medical treatment” that he experienced in the attack “including head injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nThe plaintiffs are asking the court for compensatory and punitive damages \u201cin excess [of] $50 million,\u201d in addition to actual damages that include \u201cpecuniary losses, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish, and past, present, and future medical expenses.”<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nNot only does the complaint note several of the defendants’\u00a0past legal issues<\/a>, but cites Brown’s incidents with the law including his 2009 assault of then-girlfriend\u00a0Rihanna<\/a>, where\u00a0accepted a plea deal of community labor<\/a>, five years’ probation and domestic violence counseling. He has faced various other alleged physical and sexual assault accusations over the years, too,\u00a0most recently in 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
