Chris Brown and his entourage sued for alleged assault

Chris Brown and members of his entourage are being sued for alleged assault.

The singer and several members of his tour crew are accused of beating four men backstage in Texas.

The lawsuit was filed on July 22 following an incident that allegedly occurred on Friday, July 19.

It alleges that Brown and several accomplices “brutally and severely beat” four men – Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and Damarcus Powell – in an unprovoked attack backstage at Dickies Arena after his performance 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 multiple blows to the plaintiffs’ head and chest and, finally, stomping on them while they were on the ground. All of the plaintiffs were seriously injured in the brutal, violent attack in which Brown participated and directed.”

The lawsuit alleges that the four concertgoers were invited backstage before Brown instructed his entourage to “fuck them.”

“At Brown’s direction, Parker was then punched in the face and chest, kicked in the head, and stomped on by Defendant Brown and his associates for over ten minutes,” the lawsuit states. “Brown called on his associates to join in the attack at the same time. Brown and his entourage then continued to beat Plaintiff Parker with clenched fists.”

The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages “in excess of $50 million (£38 million)” as well as damages for “financial loss, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish, and past, present and future medical expenses.”
