Weeping Fools: Drake and Chris Brown Sued For $16 Mil Over Nightclub Fight in New York

By on

Chris Brown

They started it and now they are going to have to finish it.

Months after the tragic New York bar/club fight between Chris Brown and Drake took place injuring a handful of people including NBA player Tony Parker and an Australian tourist female, Greenhouse and Club WiP have filed papers in a Manhattan Supreme Court to try and collect the money that fight cost their businesses.

According to the New York Post, the clubs are suing both Chris Brown and Drake for a total of $16 million for damages and in my opinion just being ignorant.

Each man “shared a grudge against the other arising out of their romantic relationships with the same woman,” Brown’s former flame Rihanna, and when they “crossed paths,” they “began to fight violently with each other,” the suit says.

The suit says that while the club made sure nobody in their camps were armed, “each arrived with his own small army of bodyguards, ‘security’ personnel, employees, friends and other members of their entourage, consisting of at least 15 heavily built men trained and/or experienced in hand-to-hand and weapons combat.”

After the pair started fighting, “each ordered his security personnel, bodyguards, friends and entourage to join the fight, which erupted into a violent brawl on a massive scale,” the suit says.

Their crews “fashioned deadly weapons out of whatever materials they could find, including glasses, alcohol bottles and furniture, thereby circumventing the nightclubs’ extensive efforts to ensure a safe environment.”

“On defendant Brown and and defendant Drake’s instructions, their two posses had at each other, throwing highball glasses laden with alcohol, shattering the handles of bottles of spirits to use as makeshift knives, and even throwing full bottles at each other. Within seconds, defendants filled an already packed nightclub full of flying glass shrapnel,” the suit says.

“Defendants overran the nightclub’s extensive security measures and the brawl overtook the entire space.”

“Terrorized patrons ran for cover,” the suit says, “using banquettes and tables as improvised shields. Most were unable to protect themselves,” and “several patrons were severely injured, including at least one celebrity,” basketball player Tony Parker.

Parker is now suing Greenhouse and WiP for $20 million as a result, and the club is facing other lawsuits and legal problems as a result of the fracas.

Welp. better get those checkbooks and black cards out boys!
