Chris Brown sued for $15 million over alleged 'brutal backstage assault'
Singer Chris Brown
Chris Brown hit with a lawsuit after he and members of his entourage allegedly attacked four men at his concert in Fort Worth, Texas, last Friday. The lawsuit, filed by Frederick R. Overpeck, head of back security at Dickies Arena, names Brown and his crew Conway, Hood Boss, Sinko Ceej and Live Nation as defendants. The plaintiff is seeking $15 million in damages.
The complaint, filed on Sunday, July 21, alleges that Brown, 35, initiated the violence on July 19 by throwing the first punch. Overpeck claims that he attempted to protect the four alleged victims, Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Damarcus Powell, but was severely injured in the process. Overpeck, a former correctional officer, now asserts that his injuries are so severe that he is unable to work.
According to the lawsuit, Brown orchestrated the attack and shouted racial slurs while directing his entourage to join in the assault. Overpeck alleges that he was thrown aside as he tried to intervene and that he sustained significant injuries while attempting to shield Parker from further harm.
"Unfortunately, the attackers, including Brown, did not stop the violence," the complaint reads. "They instead continued to kick and stomp victim Parker, and in the process repeatedly kicked Plaintiff as well, severely injuring him."
Describing the incident as a "prison yard beat down," Overpeck claims his actions likely prevented further injury or even death for the alleged victims. He now requires treatment for a cracked vertebrae in his neck.

Attorney Tony Buzbee, representing the plaintiffs, issued a statement emphasising that unprovoked violence would not be tolerated. "This is Texas. The people here don’t care how important or famous you think you are; you have an obligation to follow the laws and conduct yourself appropriately. We intend to seek all damages that the law allows against Brown and his cohorts, including punitive damages," he said.
