Chris Brown and his entourage are accused in a  million lawsuit of brutally beating concertgoers in North Texas

FORT WORTH — According to a lawsuit, R&B star Chris Brown and his paid entourage brutally beat several men who attended Brown’s concert in Fort Worth on Saturday night.

Brown performed at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth on Saturday as part of his 11:11 tour.

After the show, the four plaintiffs and about 40 women were invited backstage to Chris Brown’s VIP area, an event promoted and marketed by LiveNation, according to the complaint filed by the Buzbee law firm on behalf of the four plaintiffs.

As they entered the VIP area, Brown told all the women to put their phones on a table, the lawsuit says. Brown and his entourage then left the area, closed the door and stationed a security guard outside.

About 30 minutes later, Brown returned; however, Plaintiffs were ready to leave and left the lounge area. Just before he left, Plaintiff 1 approached Brown to shake his hand and congratulate him on a good show. He said, “Good show, it’s been a while, but I’m glad you’re OK. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”

Brown shook the man’s hand and replied, “Hey, yes it is and I appreciate it.”

A member of Brown’s entourage then said loudly to Brown, “Man, you don’t remember the two of you having an argument,” court documents say.

Brown then allegedly picked up a cup of liquor and replied, “Oh yeah, that was us. What up, n****? I don’t forget shit.”

The R&B singer then allegedly ordered his entourage to “finish off” the man.

When Plaintiff 1 heard this, he tried to get his friends and leave. However, Brown and about seven to ten members of his entourage followed them into the hallway and began to beat them, the lawsuit states.

One of Brown’s entourage, known by the alias Sinko, ran to the left side of the crowd and punched Plaintiff One in the chest, according to the lawsuit. At the same time, another of Brown’s entourage, known as Hood Boss, picked up a chair and threw it at Plaintiff One’s head.

Brown then allegedly told Markies Deandre Conway and others to “fuck off” Plaintiff Two.

Plaintiff Two said he was outnumbered and ran to the stairs and tried to get out the bottom, but the door was locked. He said he was then punched in the face and chest, kicked in the head for over 10 minutes, and stomped on by Brown and his entourage.

Brown asked members of his entourage to join in the attack at the same time, the complaint states. They then beat Plaintiff 2 with clenched fists for several minutes, repeatedly stomped on his head, kicked him in the face and ribs, and inflicted serious bodily harm.

The entourage also attacked and injured two other plaintiffs. All of them are receiving medical treatment.

Attorney Tony Buzbee said several reports had been filed with police and at least one of the men beaten was still in the hospital.

“Chris Brown reportedly has a long history of violence and has been arrested or charged with assault at least 10 times,” Buzbee said in a statement to CBS News Texas. “Enough! The lawsuit filed by the Buzbee Law Firm seeks damages on behalf of the four abused men in hopes of obtaining justice for these victims and putting an end once and for all to the intolerable and brutal behavior described in the lawsuit.”

The lawsuit names Brown, three members of his entourage, and LiveNation. The suit seeks $50 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

The lawsuit alleges that LiveNation failed to ensure the safety of concertgoers who may have been in proximity to Brown and his staff.

Fort Worth police confirmed they are investigating the reported assaults following the concert.
