R&B singer Chris Brown, his promoter Live Nation, and members of his entourage are being sued for $50 million over an alleged violent incident after his Texas concert on July 20.

Mr. Brown was at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth as part of his “11:11” tour, where plaintiffs Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell allege in the lawsuit that they were beaten up after being invited backstage following the performance.
“It’s on video that Brown, unprovoked, threw the first punch,” Houston personal injury attorney Tony Buzbee told The Epoch Times. Mr. Buzbee previously defended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton during his impeachment trial.
The lawsuit, obtained by The Epoch Times, was filed at Harris County court on July 22 and claims Mr. Brown “participated in and directed” the violence.
