Fort Worth, Texas – Four men who attended a concert headlined by singer Chris Brown in Fort Worth, Texas, are seeking $50 million in damages following an alleged assault. The incident took place after Brown’s performance on Friday, July 19, at Dickies Arena, according to court documents.
The men accuse Brown and several members of his entourage of a “brutal, violent assault” behind the scenes, claiming that they were attacked without provocation. The lawsuit, filed on Sunday, July 21, also names Brown’s “11:11 Tour” promoter Live Nation as a defendant.
According to the lawsuit, the plaintiffs – Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Damarcus Powell – were invited backstage to the VIP area where they waited for Brown. Allegedly, an altercation ensued after Brown accused one of the plaintiffs of having a previous issue with him.
The men attempted to leave but were followed by several members of Brown’s entourage before being assaulted. All four men required medical attention, with one of them suffering head injuries that necessitated hospitalization and extensive treatment.
The lawsuit also alleges that Live Nation continued to promote Brown’s tour despite his history of alleged violent behavior, claiming that the organization prioritized financial gain over safety. It describes a scene where Brown and his entourage surrounded the plaintiffs, physically attacking them with chairs and kicks, resulting in severe injuries.
Attorney Tony Buzbee, representing the plaintiffs, emphasized the importance of following laws and conducting oneself appropriately, regardless of fame. He stated that unprovoked violence cannot be tolerated and that they will pursue all available damages against Brown and his associates, including punitive measures.
At the time of the report, representatives for Brown, Live Nation, and the other named defendants had not issued any comments regarding the lawsuit. The legal proceedings are ongoing as the plaintiffs seek justice and accountability for the alleged assault.
