Chrisean Rock Responds To Alleged Assault Victim’s Lawsuit With New Legal Filing

October 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock may be on a new path of purity, but that doesn’t mean she won’t have to pay for the bad behavior she allegedly exhibited in the past. In November of last year, for example, the Baddies star allegedly had an unfortunate run-in with one of Tamar Braxton’s backup singers, James Wright Chanel. Reportedly, Chrisean had attended Braxton’s concert and was under the impression that she’d get onstage to perform at some point. This didn’t work out, however, allegedly leaving her angry.

When Chanel tried to speak with her, she allegedly punched him in the face multiple times and damaged his teeth. Chanel went on to sue her, but now, she’s firing back. According to In Touch Weekly, she’s denied all of the allegations Wright makes against her in the lawsuit. This includes allegedly causing him physical harm, emotional distress, and more.

“As a result of [James’] conduct and actions, [James] is estopped, in whole, or in part, from asserting any of their claims against [Chrisean],” her legal filing reads. Reportedly, the filing also states that Chanel is “barred” from “recovering any damages against her” due to his own “conduct, actions and/or omissions.”

Outside of Chrisean’s legal issues, the mother of one has been spending time with her son Chrisean Jesus, leaning into her faith, and more. Last week, for example, she took to Instagram Live during bible study with some friends. She got emotional, even breaking down in tears as one friend thanked god for bringing them all together.

Chrisean Rock Calls Cap On Tamar Braxton’s Friend’s Assault Lawsuit

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

James Wright Chanel, a friend of Tamar Braxton’s, accused Chrisean Rock of allegedly attacking him. This allegedly went down backstage at Braxton’s concert in Los Angeles in November of last year. She received a 30-day prison sentence for this and a 12-month probation period. But it looks like things aren’t done. Moreover, according to alleged court documents reportedly obtained by In Touch Weekly, Rock dismissed the claims against her in the assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress lawsuit that alleges she caused “numerous physical injuries.” She doubts that Wright “suffered extreme mental anguish and severe emotional distress, as well physical pain and suffering.” Also, the reality TV star said his “conduct and actions” mean that she will not pay for damages.

“Defendant was crying and visibly upset because she stated everyone was lying about her not being where she was supposed to be for her part of the performance,” the lawsuit against Chrisean Rock reads. “Plaintiff believes […] and alleges that defendant was misinformed about her role that evening. She was only supposed to participate in the ending of the concert performance. […] Plaintiff tried to console defendant and confirmed to defendant that she was not in the designated area as everyone else said because he would have seen her.”

Furthermore Tamar Braxton claims that Wright “got hit in the face for being nice to a guest.” He claims that Chrisean Rock called him a homophobic slur. “Defendant became upset with plaintiff and stated that if he again said she was not where she was supposed to be she was going to hit him,” the lawsuit reads.

“Plaintiff politely told defendant, ‘I promise you, you were not on the side of the stage,’” the lawsuit against Chrisean Rock continued. “Defendant immediately, using the hand she was wearing large, champion-style rings, struck plaintiff several times in the face. Following the assault, defendant was being removed from the dressing room. [Defendant] continued to shout foul, obscene and insulting language toward plaintiff. [This includes] ‘F***ot-a** n***a’ and ‘I’ll hit that motherf***er again.’ A number of other people were in the dressing room who witness[ed] the assault against plaintiff.”

Chrisean Rock Served With James Wright Chanel’s Lawsuit After Posting Her Location Online

May 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock was reportedly served with James Wright Chanel’s lawsuit after she posted her location on social media. Radar Online reports that a process server was able to find Rock two months after Chanel filed the lawsuit by using a location she shared online. Rock had told her followers that she’d be at Los Angeles’ Cathedral High School at 6:30 PM on the day in question, resulting in an ambush from the process server.

Chanel has accused Rock of punching him in the face several times during an altercation back in November while the two were backstage at a Tamar Braxton concert. Chanel says she shouted homophobic slurs throughout the incident as well. He ended up seeking treatment for two broken teeth and injuries to his face.

Back in March, Chanel went on The Jst Us Podcast and reflected on the incident, revealing that it traumatized him. “I be getting emotional when I talk about this,” he said. “I’m still trying to figure out why this happened. Why did this happen to me? I wasn’t in an argument with anyone, I wasn’t going back and forth or arguing with anyone, none of that… What I walked in on was that with other people, not me. I would wake up out of my sleep crying and not knowing why. So when I contacted the therapist she said it’s trauma, trauma will wake you up out of your sleep… The thing is I could have lost my life. You know, the right hit, you could be out of here… When I go to sleep I still see the moment.”

Rock previously made headlines, last weekend, for celebrating her first Mother’s Day with her son. In doing so, she shared new footage of the two of them. Be on the lookout for further updates on Chrisean Rock on HotNewHipHop.

Chrisean Rock Attack Left James Wright Chanel Traumatized & Sleepless, He Reveals

March 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in November, Chrisean Rock was invited to join Tamar Braxton onstage at her show in Baltimore, but things quickly took a turn for the worse. The Baddies star reportedly grew frustrated after being ushered off the stage by venue staff, as she was under the impression she’d be allowed to perform. As a result, she allegedly took her anger out on background singer James Wright Chanel by punching him in the face.

Chanel, who describes himself as an “innocent bystander,” has since confirmed that the alleged attack caused serious damage to his teeth. He’s also pressed charges against Chrisean. During a recent appearance on The Jst Us Podcast, Chanel reflected on the debacle, revealing that it continues to have a negative impact on his mental health.

Chrisean Rock Seemingly Slams Alleged Assault Victim For Pressing Charges

February 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in November, Chrisean Rock attended a Tamar Braxton concert in Baltimore, where things allegedly went very wrong. A backup singer for Braxton, James Wright Chanel, accuses Chrisean Rock of punching him in the face backstage. Reportedly, she had been under the impression that she’d be able to perform some of her own songs and was upset when she was promptly rushed offstage. Wright claims that he was simply standing nearby when the Baddies star decided to take her anger out on him, chipping his tooth in the process.

“Chile, I was an innocent bystander,” he explained at the time. “I don’t know what be wrong with people, I really don’t.” Chrisean initially denied any wrongdoing, chalking up Wright’s claims to “clout chasing.” Earlier this month, however, the singer decided to take things a step further by formally pressing charges.

Chrisean Rock Appears Confident

Dis big back bitch nigga think he finna get a cent out of me bitch you know you just wasted yo money on dat damn lawyer right.

— ChriseanRock (@ChriseanMalone) February 18, 2024

Now, weeks after Wright filed, Chrisean appears to have responded on Twitter/X. She took to the platform last night to seemingly slam Wright for taking legal action against her, making it clear that she’s confident she’ll come out unscathed. “Dis big back b*tch n***a think he finna get a cent out of me b*tch you know you just wasted yo money on dat damn lawyer right,” she wrote. Obviously, she doesn’t plan on coughing up any kind of cash. As social media users point out, however, she may not have a choice.

Of course, this is far from the only drama going on in the world of Chrisean Rock. Earlier this week, for example, a former Blue Girls Club contestant named Bonnie Lashay came forward claiming to be pregnant with Blueface’s child. Unfortunately, the alleged news comes only weeks after Chrisean got a huge tattoo of his mugshot on her face. What do you think of Chrisean Rock’s apparent response to James Wright Chanel pressing charges? Are you surprised?

February 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In November of last year, Chrisean Rock made headlines for allegedly punching a backup singer in the face at a Tamar Braxton concert. Now, it appears as though she’s facing legal consequences. Reportedly, she had been under the impression that she would be allowed to perform some of her own songs at Braxton’s show, but was whisked offstage before she could do so. This upset Chrisean, prompting her to allegedly take her anger out on a nearby target. The unfortunate alleged victim, James Wright Chanel, accuses her of punching him in the nose and chipping his tooth in the process. Reportedly, he filed against her yesterday (February 6).

Shortly after the incident, Chanel took to social media to share his side of the story, claiming to have been nothing but an “innocent bystander.” Chrisean later addressed the allegations on social media, seemingly denying any wrongdoing. “I don’t get disrespectful till you get disrespectful,” she Tweeted.

“I don’t know what’s going on, and why ni**as is popping like I’m not just a female,” she explained. “The clout-chasing s**t is getting out of hand. It was nothing between me and Tamar… I don’t know, it was just like wicked stuff started happening.” Amid the fallout from the incident, another one of Braxton’s team members, LeTroy, came forward in Chanel’s defense. He insisted that Chrisean be held accountable for her actions, which he said resulted in backlash from the Baddies star’s fanbase. Allegedly, her supporters even started showing up at his house after he spoke out against her.

Chrisean Rock Returns From Social Media Break To Take Shots At Tamar Braxton

November 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock may have picked the wrong time to step away from social media. She made the announcement earlier this week though fans were already skeptical right away how long she would actually be gone. Consequently Rock has often relied on social media drama to drive attention to her music and reality tv show. In the short time she was gone, Tamar Braxton emerged to make a variety of claims about her that she just couldn’t help but respond to.

Only a few days after originally claiming she would leave social media, Chrisean Rock returned. Subsequently she went on Instagram Live to refute some of the things Tamar said and clear things up about an altercation that happened at one of her recent shows. “I’m that b*tch and I’m covered,” she said on live. The second part is specifically clapping back at Braxton’s call for “Justice for James” after an altercation during one of Rock’s recent shows. Check out the original allegations and Chrisean’s response below.

In the comments, fans cracked jokes at Chrisean’s short break. “That wasn’t a hiatus. That was a commercial break,” one of the top comments reads. “Did chisean not say 24hrs ago she’s deleting all social media ?” and “Lmfao she came back just to say that ? If god got you covered why you have to state that to us. If God rlly working on ya life you don’t have to prove nothing to anyone” other comments read.

Before deciding to take a break from social media, Chrisean was busy on the platform. Last week she bragged about how her two year old has a band account with over $500k in it. She seemingly said that in response to Blueface sharing a video of him cuddling with their son. What do you think of Chrisean Rock breaking her social media hiatus after less than two days? Let us know in the comment section below.

Tamar Braxton Details Chrisean Rock Assaulting James Wright Chanel, Denies Clout Chaser Claims: Watch

November 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock is mostly in denial about her role in the drama at Tamar Braxton’s Baltimore concert his past weekend. The 23-year-old appears to have mistaken the show venue for the Baddies house, as she punched backup singer James Wright Chanel several times after finding out she wasn’t a part of the R&B star’s setlist. Practically everyone but Braxton has spoken out at this point, but on Monday (November 13) evening, a video appeared online in which she confirms Rock is responsible for traumatizing her friend and colleague.

“I wasn’t going to say anything out of respect for James,” the reality starlet began. “He got assaulted at my show, and it was by Chrisean,” she specifically noted before sharing that several events resulted in the chaos that ensued that night. Before getting into the real tea, Braxton acknowledged her team and how much she loves them. “I’m not a clout chaser, I don’t need that,” the 46-year-old said, seemingly addressing Tommie Lee’s post about Rock’s antics being the only reason why the performance went viral.

“Chrisean is someone I look at like, from afar, a younger sister,” Braxton said. Because she, too, was in the spotlight at a young age, the vocalist has empathy for the new mother’s situation and wanted to allow her to prove her growth and true character to the community. Unfortunately for everyone involved, that obviously didn’t go as planned. “She was somebody I wanted to meet, to possibly take under my wing,” Tamar went on.

While she didn’t invite her “sibling” to perform at the show, the “My Man” artist admits she did suggest Rock join in on the “twerk off” they do at each show as her “Vibe” single plays. This is where things seemingly got messy, resulting in the Cr*zy In Love starlet’s frustration. Now that Tamar Braxton is finally joining the conversation surrounding her Love & War concert, Chrisean Rock has interestingly pulled a vanishing act from social media. Her accounts aren’t active for the time being, though her two-month-old son, Junior, still has a profile with over one million followers. Read what James Wright Chanel’s assailant had to say this afternoon at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

James Wright Chanel Confirms Assault At Tamar Braxton Show, LeTroy Drops Chrisean Rock Receipts

November 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

We’ve heard Chrisean Rock share her side of the story regarding the alleged assault of James Wright Chanel at Tamar Braxton’s weekend concert. Now, the victim is giving us some insight into his perspective, though he didn’t specifically name the new mother as his attacker. After everything unfolded on Friday (November 10) in Baltimore, Wright went Live (while hiding his face from the camera) to confirm that at least some of the rumours circulating are true.

“Chile, I was an innocent bystander,” Braxton’s backup singer said of his involvement in the blowout. He laughed while delivering the news, noting that it’s important to still find the joy and humour in things if possible. “I don’t know what be wrong with people, I really don’t,” he reflected. It’s likely Chanel was referring to Rock’s decision to reportedly punch him in the face after finding out she wasn’t performing during Tamar’s concert.

Elsewhere, LeTroy, – a member of Braxton’s team who shared one of the initial stories about the drama – responded to Rock’s video denying any wrongdoing with a screenshot of his text interaction with someone from her management. “Hey LeTroy, nice to meet you. Tamar had told Chrisean that she wanted to bring her out tonight,” the latter confirmed.

While it was agreed upon that the Baddies cast member would come on stage, nothing was said about an actual performance. This seems to be where the confusion led to violence.
