Chris Brown and his entourage are being sued for alleged assault.
The singer and several members of his tour crew are accused of assaulting four men backstage in Texas.
The lawsuit was filed on July 22nd following an incident that allegedly occurred on Friday, July 19th.
The lawsuit alleges that Brown and several accomplices “savagely and severely beat” four people — Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Busch and DaMarcus Powell — in an unprovoked attack backstage at Dickies Arena after a show in Fort Worth.
“The acts of violence included Brown and his entourage surrounding the Plaintiffs, throwing chairs at them, and repeatedly kicking, stomping and punching them,” the lawsuit states. “The unprovoked acts of violence included striking the Plaintiffs multiple times in the head and chest, and ultimately, stomping on the Plaintiffs as they fell to the ground. All of the Plaintiffs suffered severe injuries as a result of this brutal and violent assault, orchestrated and conducted by Brown.”
According to the lawsuit, the four concert-goers were invited backstage where Brown then instructed his entourage to “fuck” them.
“At Brown's direction, Parker was punched in the face and chest, kicked in the head, and stomped for over ten minutes by defendant Brown and his associates,” the lawsuit alleges. “Brown encouraged his associates to simultaneously carry out the assault. Brown and his associates then continued to strike plaintiff Parker with their fists.”
The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages “in excess of $50 million (£38 million)”, as well as actual damages for “monetary loss, pain and suffering, disfigurement, emotional distress and past, present and future medical expenses”.
