Chris Brown and members of his entourage are being sued over an alleged assault.
The singer and several members of his touring crew are accused of beating four men backstage in Texas.
The lawsuit was filed on 22 July following an incident that allegedly took place on Friday, 19 July.
It claims Brown and several accomplices “brutally and severely beat” four men – Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and Damarcus Powell – backstage at Dickies Arena in an unprovoked attack after his Fort Worth show.
“The violence included Brown and his entourage surrounding the Plaintiffs, throwing chairs at them, and repeatedly kicking, stomping, and beating them,” the complaint reads. “The unprovoked violence included multiple strikes to the Plaintiffs’ heads and chests, and ultimately involved stomping them while they were down. The brutal, violent assault participated in and directed by Brown, severely injured all Plaintiffs.”
The complaint alleges the four concertgoers were invited backstage, before Brown instructed his entourage to “f**k” them up.
“Upon instruction by Brown, Parker was then punched in the face and chest, kicked in the head for over ten minutes, and stomped on by Defendant Brown and his associates,” the complaint alleges. “Brown encouraged his companions to join in the assault simultaneously. Brown and his entourage then continued to beat Plaintiff Parker closed fisted.”
The plaintiffs are asking for compensatory and punitive damages “in excess (of) $50 million (£38 million)”, along with actual damages for “pecuniary losses, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish, and past, present, and future medical expenses”.
