Chris Brown is facing a new lawsuit for an alleged altercation at his recent concert in Texas.
Head of backstage security Frederick R. Overpeck is suing Brown and members of his entourage for $15 million for allegedly assaulting four men.
Overpeck claims he suffered injuries during the altercation, including a cracked vertebra in his neck.
The former correctional officer claimed the Run It hitmaker started the fight, which he described as a “prison yard beatdown”, by throwing the first punch.
“The Plaintiff attempted to intervene to stop the violence,” the lawsuit states. “Plaintiff was instead thrown out of the way, while at the same time Brown yelled racial slurs demanding that his entourage join in and beat the four fans.”
Overpeck claimed he tried to get between “the attackers” and protect one of the alleged victims, Parker.
“Unfortunately, the attackers, to include Brown, did not stop the violence,” the lawsuit continued. “They instead continued to kick and stomp victim Parker, and in the process repeatedly kicked Plaintiff as well, severely injuring him.”
Additionally, Chris Brown, his entourage, and tour promoter Live Nation are being sued for $50 million for assault by the four men involved.
