Chris Brown is being sued for $50 million after allegedly attacking four concertgoers

Chris Brown has been sued for $50 million over an incident that occurred backstage at one of his concerts last Friday.

The plaintiffs – Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and DaMarcus Powell – filed their lawsuit in a Texas court on Monday, July 22. They are seeking at least $50 million in damages. In addition to the payment, the four plaintiffs are seeking an injunction against all defendants.

According to the lawsuit, first reported by TMZ, Brown and his crew severely beat the plaintiffs after the singer’s performance as part of his 11:11 Tour at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, last Friday. The four men were invited backstage after the performance to meet Brown, who showed up 30 minutes later than expected.

Charles Bush says he complimented Brown on the show and the singer appreciated his words until “a member of Brown’s entourage said loudly to Brown, ‘Man, you don’t remember you two arguing.'” At that point, Brown reportedly “instructed his entourage to ‘take down Plaintiff Bush.'”

A member of Brown’s entourage allegedly “punched Bush in the chest” and another man allegedly “picked up a chair and threw it at Bush’s head.” At Brown’s direction, members of his entourage also “punched Larry Parker in the face and chest, kicked him in the head and stomped on him for over ten minutes,” according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit also states that “the entourage struck Da Marcus (Powell) in the shoulder and (Joseph) Lewis in the shoulder and chest.” All four plaintiffs are “injured” and “receiving medical treatment,” the lawsuit says.

“No one should have to go through what these clients have gone through,” said the plaintiffs’ attorney, Tony Buzbee, in a statement diversity“We will demand the maximum compensation permitted by law for this outrageous behavior.

Officially, Brown and his co-defendants are charged with assault, negligence, gross negligence, and intentional infliction of mental distress.
