Getty ImagesFour people who attended a Chris Brown concert in Fort Worth, Texas, say the singer and his companions attacked them last week. They are suing Brown and Live Nation for $50 million.
The claim, which was filed Monday in Harris County, Texas, says that Brown and some of his friends "brutally and severely beat" the plaintiffs after the show last Friday at Dickies Arena. They say they were called backstage after the show, which was part of Brown's 11:11 Tour. The four men filing are Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell.
The Independent got a copy of the report, which says that things got tense when someone in Brown's group brought up a past disagreement with Bush. According to the document, Brown then followed Bush into a hallway with seven to ten other people, where they are said to have started beating Bush and his friends.
Parker says in his lawsuit that he was attacked for ten minutes while being pinned down on a stairs. All four of the plaintiffs are getting medical care and will need more, according to the lawsuit.
Live Nation, which helped produce the tour, faces allegations of neglecting to protect audience members near Brown.
The plaintiffs' lawyer, Tony Buzbee, told Variety, "No one should have to go through what these clients went through."
Brown and Live Nation representatives have not yet said anything about the claims.
This is not the first time Brown has been in legal trouble for violence. He admitted to beating up his girlfriend at the time, singer Rihanna, in 2009. Since then, he has been accused of assault by friends and ex-partners more than once.
Karrueche Tran, Brown's ex-girlfriend, got a protection order against him in 2017 for five years. According to court records, Tran said Brown had threatened her via text.
A different claim, filed against Brown in January 2022, said that he drugged and raped a woman on a Florida yacht. NBC Palm Springs says the case was later thrown out because of a "lack of prosecution."
