Chris Brown faces new lawsuit after allegedly assaulting concertgoers at Texas show

Chris Brown is being sued for the alleged assault of four concertgoers following his show in Fort Worth over the weekend, per Rolling Stone. Brown and three members of his “paid entourage” are named as defendants in the suit alongside LiveNation, which stands accused of failing to “insure that the participates [sic] of the concert who may be around Brown, and his associates, were safe.” The plaintiffs are seeking $50 million in damages and a temporary restraining order over claims of assault and battery, negligence/gross negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.The four plaintiffs were allegedly invited to Brown’s VIP area after the show, but when one went to greet Brown, a member of Brown’s entourage reportedly reminded the singer that he was “beefing” with the plaintiff. Brown and “seven to 10” of his entourage followed the four plaintiffs out when they tried to leave and attacked all four men. “Upon 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,” the suit describes the assault in part. “Brown encouraged his companions to join in the assault simultaneously. Brown and his entourage then continued to beat Plaintiff Parker closed fisted for almost minutes [sic], repeatedly stomping on Defendant Parker’s head, kicking his face and ribs, and causing severe bodily injury.” All four men are now reportedly undergoing medical treatment. “This case arises from a violent assault perpetuated by a troubled recording artist with a checkered past,” the suit states. “Without justifiable provocation, performer Christopher Maurice Brown (‘Chris Brown’), and his paid entourage, brutally and severely beat Plaintiffs Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell. Chris Brown has a long history of violence. The Plaintiffs herein are the latest in a long line of individuals who have suffered at Brown’s hands.”
