Chris Brown‘s legal journey has been stifled by a fresh batch of trouble.
Full story below…
His former manager Mike G has stepped forward to claim that the performer punched him in the face and neck during a violent outburst he says was fuelled by drugs.
Hired by the star in 2012, Mike was introduced to Brown to help him as he sought to clean up his act following his assault on the Pop singer Rihanna in 2009.
The lawsuit claims Brown, rather than being remorseful, began mocking Mike G on social media and bragging to friends about the beating. Mike G says Brown had the audacity to tell people working on his tour, if they got out of line he’d beat them just like he beat Mike G.
Mike G says Brown’s rage was drug-fueled and the suit mention concern for retaliation from Brown’s “gang member friends.”
Mike G’s attorney, Patty Glaser, tells TMZ, “We did everything we could to resolve this in a non-public way to avoid damage to Chris Brown. Regrettably, as outlined in our complaint, Chris Brown has proven to be his own worst enemy.”
That isn’t all.
Brown responded by claiming Mike was fired because he was caught stealing from him.
Mike’s lawyers, enraged by the claim, now plan to add a defamation claim to the lawsuit.
