Chris Brown Accused of Attacking Concertgoers, Hit With Lawsuit
UPDATE (July 23):
More details have emerged surrounding the alleged assault that occurred at Chris Brown‘s show in Fort Worth, Texas.
On Monday (July 22), TMZ shared an exclusive update revealing the four men—Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and DaMarcus Powell—who filed suit against Brown are seeking $50 million. Live Nation and Yella Beezy are also mentioned as defendants in the suit. According to the suit, a member of Brown’s team invited the four men backstage along with dozens of women after the show. After waiting around for 30 minutes for Breezy to arrive, the group went to leave shortly after the singer showed up.
However, they claim that’s when a member of Brown’s entourage told Bush, “Man you don’t remember you two were beefing?” Bush claims Chris replied, “Oh yeah, we were. What’s up, ni***? I don’t forget sh*t,” and order several people to attack Bush and his friends. Yella Beezy allegedly got involved and chased Parker into a stairway where he claims he was attacked for 10 minutes by multiple people. All four men reportedly suffered injuries that required medical treatment.

Additionally, Buzbee reveals the outcome of Chris and his associates’ alleged tussle with one of the individuals.
“On Saturday night in Ft. Worth, entertainer Chris Brown, along with his entourage, attacked and brutally beat several men who had just attended his concert,” Buzbee typed. “Multiple police reports have been made. At least one of the men beaten remains hospitalized.
The lawyer then explained he is representing four people who have filed suit against the Virginia singer.
“Chris Brown has a long history of violence,” Buzbee continued. “He has been arrested or accused of assault on at least ten occasions. Enough! The Buzbee Law Firm filed suit this morning on behalf of the four men brutalized this last weekend in the hope of obtaining justice for these victims and putting an end, once and for all, to Brown’s intolerable and thuggish behavior.”
Buzbee has also released a statement to XXL that reads: “We will try this case in the courtroom, not the press. We will aggressively pursue justice in this case.”
