Chris Brown's Concert Promoter Hit With $3,600,000 Lawsuit Over Cancelled Australia And New Zealand Concerts

Chris Brown

Chris Brown's promoter, Castor and Ford Agency Pty Ltd, has been hit with a $3,600,000 (2,700,000 U.S. Dollars) lawsuit in Australia, filed by Westgate Entertainment Pty Ltd, over his cancelled concert series. Brown announced tour dates in Australia and New Zealand and began selling tickets, but unadvisedly did so before obtaining a visa. 

This was a significant financial risk, as Brown is a felon from the Rihanna domestic violence case. Protesters demanded the governments block Brown's entry into Australia and New Zealand, rendering him unable to obtain visas. Brown filed an appeal, which was also denied. Brown and another concert promoter have been sued in the Philippines for cancelling a New Years eve show and keeping the $1,000,000 a church group paid as a deposit.

Brown's business is not being handled correctly. The concert cancellations will make it far more difficult for Brown to obtain the necessary touring insurance. It will also increase Brown's insurance premiums. There is also the risk it will make other concert promoters less inclined to work with him, costing him millions of dollars in revenue.

Chris Brown Australian tour cancellation sparks $3.6m lawsuit
 

6:02 pm March 31, 2016 - Legal action against US singer Chris Brown's Australian concert promoter has begun in Melbourne over last year's cancelled tour. The 26-year-old singer cancelled both his Australian and New Zealand tours after he was refused a visa to enter Australia in late 2015 on character grounds. 

There was a groundswell of support for a petition that called on the government to block the R&B star from visiting the country because he was convicted in 2009 of assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna. A writ filed in the Victorian Supreme Court on Wednesday by Westgate Entertainment Pty Ltd against Castor and Ford Agency Pty Ltd (CAFA)claims it is owed more than $3.6 million... 

Court documents say an agreement between Westgate and CAFA was reached in June 2015, which would see Westgate contribute 50 per cent of all expenses and costs associated with the tour. Under that deal Westgate would be repaid that money in full and also receive 50 per cent of tour profits. More than $2.6 million was paid by Westgate before the December concerts were cancelled, the writ says...

Chris Brown has announced a European concert tour to cover countries such as Ireland, France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Norway and Luxembourg. However, as a convicted felon with misdemeanors on his record as well, Brown has been formally denied entry to Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Every nation listed on Brown's tour has visa requirements that could result in convicted felons being barred from entering each respective country (Schengen nations). It is dependent upon each world government. Brown has a conviction from the Rihanna domestic violence case.

In the past, Brown failed to get permission via visas, for tour dates he selected in Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and was subsequently denied entry, as stated above. Concert promoters sometimes seek to force world governments' proverbial hands, when attempting to stage shows in other nations with a convicted felon as the star. However, many nations will call a promoter's bluff and deny entry. Therefore, it is always best to contact each nation's embassy and obtain the appropriate visas.

Chris Brown Is Suicidal Again After Dealing With Career Problems And Hearing Ex-Girlfriend Karrueche Tran Is Dating A New Man

Chris Brown

Chris Brown has again posted an item to social networking that has the public believing he is suicidal. The item come after news reported by the E! website that his ex-girlfriend, whom he is trying to get back, is dating DJ Morten. Brown is still in love with Tran and is not pleased with what is being stated.

Karrueche Tran

Previously, Brown believed she had a few dates with Manchester United football player, Memphis Depay, but did not believe it to be serious due to the fact he lives in Britain and she America. This coupled with problems that led to his new album being delayed and his Australia and New Zealand concerts being cancelled due to visa trouble, has become too much for Brown.

Chris Brown's daughter Royalty

Brown wrote on the social networking website Instagram, "When u tired of the f**king devil ruining your life and u hear God speak for the first time. No one knows what I deal with on a day to day. The average man wouldn't hesitate to blow his f**king brains out but that's the cowards way out... Most won't understand the genius and beauty in change and learning and the people who have devilish intentions will win in the short term. My soul will always be pure of heart. What's on the surface always looks like one big party but inside there is a little boy looking for help and guidance. People say 'be a man'. Yeah, that's right but it doesn't take away any pain you really go through. I just wanna stay out the way and do music. Most importantly and be a great father. I don't have any more patience for anything that will cause me to self - destruct!!"

Last year, the singer was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. It is important that bipolar sufferers do not take on too much and it will trigger depression, confusion and anxiety from feeling overwhelmed and agitated. Bipolar suffers do not need any type of imbalance in their lives. It creates problems, triggering negative chemical reactions in their brain. My concern is that Brown will overdose under depression (people in his circle are providing him with narcotics). His family need to watch him and make sure he attends therapy and takes his medicine or this will not end well.

Chris Brown Australia And New Zealand Tour Cancelled As Government Denies His Visa Declination Appeal

Chris Brown

The Ticketek Australia website today announced that singer Chris Brown's planned concert tour of Australia and New Zealand that was scheduled to take place December 2015 has been cancelled. Brown will lose millions of dollars from the cancellations (tour tickets and merchandising), paid appearances and music sales it would generate.

Brown's initial visa application was denied in September 2015. He was given the option of an appeal that had to be lodged within 28-days from the date of declination (Chris Brown Advertises Tickets On Sale To Australia And New Zealand Tour Despite Visa Ban). However, Brown's appeal has been denied. He and his promoter lost money by putting the shows in New Zealand and Australia on sale and booking venues with associated costs.

Previously, the Judiciary Report wrote it is not a good idea booking concerts and paid appearances in foreign nations without the necessary visas. Promoters cannot assume a nation will let them and or their artist enter each respective nation. This rule is even more relevant when the artist has a criminal record. Major world governments generally do not allow people with felony convictions into their nations (with the exception of select nations). Drug offenses are particularly frowned upon by government visa offices.

Chris Brown's Australian Tour Has Been Canceled

1 hour ago - Chris Brown's planned tour of Australia and New Zealand, originally scheduled for later this month, has been canceled. Billboard reports that a tour promoter confirmed the news today, announcing canceled dates in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Brisbane. The news follows reports in September that the Australian government denied Brown's visa application due to "character grounds," an apparent reference to his history of domestic violence. (Australia also kept Floyd Mayweather out of the country earlier this year for the same reason.)

The tour cancelation announcement noticeably didn't cite the rejected visa application and promised to double down on rescheduled performance dates. "Mr Brown and the promoters both remain positive that the tour will take place in the near future," a statement from the promoter said. "Mr Brown wishes to express his deepest gratitude to the fans for their support and looks forward to a successful tour in the near future."

Chris Brown Makes Plea To Enter Australia

Chris Brown

R&B singer Chris Brown tweeted out an item on Twitter telling his fans concert tickets for his “One Hell Of A Nite” tour are available for purchase. However, if you have been following Brown’s visa woes you will know he has been formally denied entry into New Zealand and Australia. The latter gave him the option of making an appeal within 28-days.

Brown made a plea to the Australian government via Twitter stating, “The youth don’t listen to parents nor do they listen to PSA’s. The power that we have as Entertainers can change lives. My life mistakes should be a wake up call for everyone. Showing the world that mistakes don’t define you. Trying to prevent spousal abuse. I would be more than grateful to come to Australia to raise awareness about domestic violence. I’m not the pink elephant in the room anymore.”

Chris Brown To Be Barred From Entering Australia As His Criminal Record Continues To Cost Him Tens Of Millions Of Dollars

Chris Brown

The Australian government has announced it is preparing to bar singer Chris Brown from the nation, denying him entry for his "One Hell Of A Nite" worldwide concert tour. Brown has a criminal record from the Rihanna domestic violence case, where he plead guilty in lieu of prison, for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, after an argument between the two turned violent after she struck him. Brown was placed on probation for 5-years after accepting a guilty plea to avoid prison.

A few years ago I saw a documentary on Australia's Border Protection and the checks visitors must go through to visit their nation. Australia has stringent rules for entering their country. One is not allowed to have a felony conviction on one's record and must show means of support when attempting to gain a visa for entering Australia.

Chris Brown

 

Australia's Minister for Women and Minister for Employment Michaelia Cash stated, "I can assure you that the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection will be looking at this very, very seriously. People need to understand, if you are going to commit domestic violence and you want to travel around the world, there are going to be countries that say to you: ‘You cannot come in because you are not of the character that we expect in Australia.' This is a government that is not afraid to say no. We said no, you are not the type of person we want in Australia." The Prime Minister is in agreement with immigration regarding denying Brown a visa.

This marks the fourth nation to do so, after Canada, Britain and New Zealand denied Brown entry, costing him millions of dollars in concert revenues, paid appearances, endorsements and other tie-ins recording artists' representatives negotiate on their behalf. Brown has also lost many sponsorship deals in America. Overall, he has lost tens of millions of dollars since the ill-fated 2009 incident.

Australia 'very seriously' considering denying Chris Brown a visa over domestic violence history

September 24, 2015: Minister for Women Michaelia Cash has indicated that singer Chris Brown may not be allowed in Australia following his assault on former partner Rihanna. The federal government is considering refusing a visa to US singer Chris Brown on character grounds over his history of domestic violence.

Brown, 26, is due in Australia in December for a run of stadium shows and had his tour posters defaced in Melbourne this week with sticker’s emblazoned with “I beat women”. In 2009, the RnB star was convicted over the assault of then-girlfriend and fellow singer Rihanna, who required hospital treatment for her injuries. Brown was sentenced to five years’ probation and served with a restraining order over the attack. He was also later jailed over an unrelated assault...

Chris Brown

Chris Brown has been denied a visa to New Zealand, after announcing a tour date in the nation. Brown, who has a history as a convicted felon, stemming from the Rihanna domestic violence case and misdemeanors that occurred since that time regarding men, was forced to cancel the scheduled stop in New Zealand that was announced as apart of his "One Hell Of A Nite" concert tour.

Brown has been legally barred from entering Canada, Britain and Australia, among other nations, over his criminal record. However, this is not specific to him, as it is standard procedure in large world nations, including Brown's native America, regarding people convicted of felonies seeking to enter other nations.

Prince William’s Little Son Prince George Gets Put In The Friend Zone By A Little Cutie He Was Trying To Arrange A Play Date With (LOL)

Prince George to baby girl: well aren't you a cutie!

Prince George, the son of Prince William of England, also known as the Duke of Cambridge, was unceremoniously placed in the friend zone at the ripe old age of 8-months, during a royal family visit to New Zealand. The adorable toddler, spotted a little cutie and tried to do the princely thing by shaking her hand and asking for her phone number (ok, so he didn’t ask for her phone number). 

Prince George: well that went wrong fast!

However, she would have none of it. She started bawling like she found out they canceled candy. Little George took it in stride and did what the average male does when a female rejects their advances, he gave her a non-amused look and said, “I didn’t really like you anyway.” Just kidding. He can’t talk yet (but you know that’s what he was thinking). As a local newscaster in Miami pointed out, the little baby will hear stories about it for the rest of her life, teased that she rebuffed the man slated to be king.

Jamaican Gold Medalist Usain Bolt To Play Basketball In The Off Season

Jamaican gold medalist, Usain Bolt, is enjoying his down time during the off season, after sprinting to new world records at the London 2012 Olympics this past summer in England. Bolt has fielded offers to play cricket in Australia, football (soccer) in England and his latest endeavor is basketball in New Zealand, in conjunction with Gatorade, one of his sponsors. Bolt has signed on for a basketball exhibition game in Auckland New Zealand with the Breakers. Maybe he should ask fellow gold medalists Lebron James or Shaq for some tips.

      

It is clear he is really enjoying himself, while traveling the world. The Breakers issued a statement regarding the scheduled October 8, 2012 event, "We are stoked to partner with Gatorade, and every player is buzzing about the opportunity to meet Usain Bolt and launch the relationship in a special way. Certainly the boys are looking forward to the chance to warm up with the fastest man on Earth."

New Zealand Court Rules Against The FBI In The MegaUpload Piracy And Copyright Infringement Case

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

This is a follow up to the June 8. 2012 article FBI Accused Of Breaking International Law In Taking Evidence In Megaupload Piracy And Copyright Infringement Case, where the Judiciary Report stated the Federal Bureau Of Investigation acted illegally in the matter. The courts in New Zealand agree with the Judiciary Report and ruled that the FBI's conduct in the case and their country during the raid on the home of MegaUpload's founder KimDotCom was illegal. 

Once again, Hollywood has brought the FBI international and domestic disgrace. FBI arrogantly ran roughshod over the New Zealand government, much like they did in India, Jamaica and Britain to very negative results. When is the FBI going to learn to respect other people's borders and nations. At the FBI there is a an absolute hatred and contempt for all things foreign. No one respects the Department of Justice or FBI anymore as a result of this abusive, hateful behavior.

President Obama needs to wake up and realize the things transpiring in his administration are doing America a great disservice in the world. You’ve got a gun trafficker at the Department of Justice (Eric Holder) that has caused the deaths of hundreds of people on two sides of the border (America and Mexico). You've also got a hateful NEO Nazi running the FBI (Robert S. Mueller) who openly hates and discriminates against Muslims and blacks, as attested by many lawsuits filed against this many in unrelated cases.

Under the two aforementioned men, you have vile U.S. attorneys making nasty, racist, hateful statements in court documents spitting on the Civil Rights Act, stating it "did not give black people equal rights in America" - therefore criminals can do as they please to blacks as, "It would not have mattered anyway."

What kind of show are you running Obama. You clearly do not have your political house under control, because you would be out of your mind to condone and agree with this criminal and cruel behavior emanating from your cabinet and appointees. The worst part is the Department of Justice and its agency the FBI are supposed to be federal law enforcement and they are breaking the law more than anyone.
Do you really think this madness makes the government look good. People all over the nation and in the world are wondering what is going on at the DOJ and FBI that such brazenly bad conduct is transpiring and for all to see. No one is impressed. People are alarmed and aghast.

You are the President of the United States of America. You are supposed to have that under control, but you clearly don’t. That does not inspire confidence. Neither does covering up for criminals such as Holder and Mueller, with people around the world stating they are breaking the law.

And make no mistake, when you illegally traffic guns into another nation and cause the deaths of several hundred people in doing so, you are a massive criminal. When you illegally wiretap millions of Americans, spy on people through their phones and  in their homes via computers and webcams and torture and threat to kill US citizens that do not do your illegal bidding, you are a massive criminal. You need to get a hold of yourselves.
