Chris Brown sued by fan shot during his nightclub performance

Chris Brown is being sued by an injured fan Paul Briley, for alleged carelessness after he was shot at the end of the singer’s performance at Fiesta nightclub in San Jose, California in January.

The fan claims concert organisers failed to provide adequate security and implement security procedures before five people were shot and injured.

The defendant, who was one of those injured, is seeking damages for “physical, mental and emotional pain and suffering he endured and continues to experience,” according to court documents obtained by E! News.

But Chris Brown’s legal team believe the lawsuit will be dismissed by a judge and they are planning to counter-sue.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the singer said: ‘It is a poor reflection of our society that violence is so prevalent, and it is always a tragedy when someone is physically harmed. However, this is a completely frivolous lawsuit. We expect that the case will be dismissed and in future, to avoid these reoccurring meritless lawsuits directed at Chris Brown, we plan to seek damages from all parties and their lawyers.’

Chris is also currently embroiled in a custody battle with Nia Guzman over their 15-month-old daughter, Youy.
