\n\tChris Brown and several members of his entourage, along with Brown\u2019s 11:11 Tour promoter Live Nation, are facing a lawsuit over an alleged assault that took place following Brown\u2019s concert in Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday night.<\/p>\n

\n\tFiled Monday (July 22) in Harris County district court by attorneys Tony Buzbee<\/strong> and Caroline Adams<\/strong>, the lawsuit claims that Brown and several accomplices \u201cbrutally and severely beat\u201d four men \u2014 Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and Damarcus Powell \u2014 backstage at Dickies Arena in an unprovoked attack following the show.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe violence included Brown and his entourage surrounding the Plaintiffs, throwing chairs at them, and repeatedly kicking, stomping, and beating them,\u201d the complaint reads. \u201cThe unprovoked violence included multiple strikes to the Plaintiffs\u2019 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the complaint, the attack occurred after the four men were invited to the backstage VIP area following the show, where they allegedly waited 30 minutes for Brown to arrive. \u201cHaving grown tired of waiting,\u201d the complaint reads, the men began making their way to the exit, at which point Bush says he approached Brown to shake his hand and congratulate him on the concert. After exchanging pleasantries, a member of Brown\u2019s crew then allegedly shouted to Brown, \u201cMan, you don\u2019t remember you two were beefing?\u201d The lawsuit claims that Brown then replied, \u201cOh yeah, we were\u2026I don\u2019t forget sh\u2013\u201d before instructing his entourage to \u201cf\u2014\u201d Bush up.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt that point, the plaintiffs claim that Brown, along with \u201cseven to ten members\u201d of his crew, followed them into a hallway as they were attempting to leave and attacked them. \u201cOne of Brown\u2019s entourage, known by the alias Sinko, ran to the left side of the crowd and punched Bush in the chest,\u201d the complaint reads. \u201cSimultaneously, another of Brown\u2019s entourage, stage alias Hood Boss, picked up a chair and threw it at Bush\u2019s head.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe complaint says that Parker was also badly beaten after Brown allegedly instructed another member of his entourage, Markies Deandre Conway (a.k.a. Yella Beezy), and several others to \u201cf\u2014\u201d him up. After fleeing into a stairwell, the lawsuit claims Parker became trapped by a locked door at the bottom of the stairs, where he was subsequently attacked by Brown and several other men.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cUpon 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,\u201d the complaint alleges. \u201cBrown encouraged his companions to join in the assault simultaneously. Brown and his entourage then continued to beat Plaintiff Parker closed fisted for almost minutes, repeatedly stomping on Defendant Parker\u2019s head, kicking his face and ribs, and causing severe bodily injury.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBrown and his crew are also accused of punching Powell in the shoulder and punching Lewis in the shoulder and chest.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe complaint claims that all four men required medical treatment and that Parker was hospitalized and \u201cwill need to undergo extensive medical treatment for the damages he suffered in the attack, including head injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to Brown, the lawsuit names three members of his entourage \u2014 Conway, Hood Boss (a.k.a. Omololu Omari Akinlolu) and Sinko Ceej \u2014 as defendants. As for Live Nation, the complaint alleges that the concert promoter continued working with Brown despite his history of \u201cbad conduct and violent conduct.\u201d According to the lawsuit, the company \u201cshamelessly profits and promotes Brown\u2019s The 11:11 Tour and brought Brown to Texas for financial gain. Live Nation failed to insure that the [participants] of the concert who may be around Brown, and his associates, were safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe plaintiffs are asking for compensatory and punitive damages \u201cin excess [of] $50 million,\u201d along with actual damages for \u201cpecuniary losses, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish, and past, present, and future medical expenses,\u201d among other relief.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn making its case, the plaintiffs\u2019 attorneys make note of several of the defendants\u2019 criminal histories, alleging that Ceej was a member of \u201cthe blood gang\u201d and spent \u201cat least eight years in prison\u201d and that Conway, \u201ca former Crip gang member,\u201d has been arrested multiple times for firearm possession and sexual assault.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe lawsuit additionally recounts Brown\u2019s well-publicized brushes with the law, including the singer\u2019s guilty plea for beating his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, for which he was sentenced to five years\u2019 probation and community service and forced to undergo domestic violence counseling. Brown has been arrested and\/or sued multiple times for various instances of alleged physical and sexual assault, including by multiple women and his former manager, Michael Guirguis<\/strong>. In 2014, Brown pleaded guilty to simple assault for punching a man in the face the previous year. <\/p>\n
