A meet and greet allegedly turned violent for four Texas men, who claim that they were attacked by members of Chris Brown’s entourage following an altercation backstage at Brown’s concert on Saturday night in Ft. Worth, Texas.
The four men (Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell) are suing Brown, Yella Beezy, Sinko Ceej, and Live Nation Entertainment for $50 million in damages as well as restraining orders against the performers. The plaintiffs argue that they suffered serious injuries that required hospitalization and one plaintiff remains hospitalized (although it is unclear which one it is).
While it is unclear what happened (various accounts have placed the men backstage at the concert with at least one having a verbal interaction), the defendants allege that Brown ordered the attack on them and that they were kicked, punched, and chased by members of Brown’s entourage.
Tony Buzbee, the Houston-based lawyer who is representing the four men, posted the following statement on his Instagram account on Monday (along with a picture of Brown in court from a previous trial):
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. Multiple police reports have been made. At least one of the men beaten remains hospitalized. Chris Brown has a long history of violence. 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.
As of Monday afternoon, Brown had not publicly addressed the situation.
Brown was playing his second night in Ft. Worth as part of his 11:11 tour.
