Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran
TMZ is reporting an attorney at the offices of
lawyer Mark Geragos, who represents Chris Brown in various legal
matters, stated Malcolm Ausbon, who is suing the singer for assault,
over a basketball court fight that occurred outside 24-Hour Fitness,
stated their client never touched him during the fracas. However,
Ausbon has filed a lawsuit suing Brown for $250,000, stating he and
three members of his entourage beat him up on the basketball court,
resulting in grievous bodily injury, for which he had to seek
medical treatment.
Chris Brown and his lawyer Mark Geragos
Brown's lawyers are stating they are being
"extorted" by Ausbon, who is threatening to file assault charges
with the police if Brown does not pay him. When a person is
assaulted, the first thing they should do is report it to the
police, not file a lawsuit. Generally, legal actions in civil court
are brought after criminal proceedings (or when criminal cases
fail). Furthermore, if someone assaulted me, my mindset is there's
no amount of money that would make me not press charges. When people
reverse the order and not file a police report first, people tend to
cast aspersions on the assault claims being made, as it looks like a
cash grab.
Brown has been sued in two other cases for assault,
where the evidence pointed to the fact he had no physical contact
with those making the claim or did not initiate the fight. Brown
could have benefited from lawsuit insurance, because since the time
of the Rihanna domestic violence incident, people are filing
lawsuits against him left, right and center, absent of evidence of
assault by the singer. Brown is racking up massive legal fees trying
to defend all these cases that could bankrupt him, because it seems
every few months, a new lawsuit is filed against him. The floodgates
have opened.
