$50 million lawsuit filed against Chris Brown
The $50 lawsuit was filed against Chris Brown accusing him of conducting a “brutal, violent attack” on four concert-goers on Sunday, July 21. According to the lawsuit, the accused include Brown and Conway, Hood Boss and Cinco Cease. They “brutally and severely beat” the four concert-goers – Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and Damarcus Powell.
A People The report also lists the name of the tour promoter, Live Nation, who provided support to the rapper even though it was well aware of his history of “bad behavior and violent conduct” and “shamelessly promotes and profiteered off Brown’s 11:11 Tour and brings Brown to Texas for financial gain.”

“The violence involved Brown and his companions surrounding Plaintiffs, throwing chairs at them, and repeatedly kicking, punching, stomping, and beating them,” the complaint states. “The unprovoked violence involved Plaintiffs being struck multiple times in the head and chest and ultimately being knocked down and trampled. The brutal, violent attack directed and participated in by Brown severely injured all Plaintiffs.”
According to the lawsuit, all four people needed immediate medical attention after the attack, and Parker in particular will need intensive medical treatment after suffering a severe head injury. Therefore, the four people are seeking $50 million in compensation from Brown, in addition to the damages they have suffered, which include “economic losses, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish and past, present and future medical expenses,” the lawsuit states.

What happened on Friday night?
According to the lawsuit, the four men were initially invited to the VIP area, where they waited for Brown for 30 minutes. When the rapper did not show up, one of the four concert-goers, Bush, headed outside, where he saw Brown and congratulated him on his performance. Suddenly, one of Brown’s crew members yelled at the rapper to provoke him, “Dude, don’t you remember you two were fighting?” to which the lawsuit claims Brown responded, “Oh yeah, we were…I don’t forget shit.” He then instructed the others to “fuck Bush.”
One member of Brown’s entourage, Sinco, punched Bush in the chest, while another, Hood Boss, threw a chair at Bush’s head. Chris Brown allegedly directed his associate Yella Beezy and others to attack Parker, who became trapped in a stairwell. She was then attacked, including being punched in the face and chest, kicked in the head over a period of over ten minutes, and stomped on by Chris Brown and others. The lawsuit claimed she suffered serious physical injuries due to the prolonged beating, with Brown encouraging others to join in the attack.
In 2009, Brown was also accused of assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
