As per TMZ’s report, a security guard named Frederick R. Overpeck filed a suit alleging that he was working at the Dickies Arena and was instructed to look after the backstage area. This is where the alleged brawl occurred.
For the unversed, a suit was filed on July 22 (Monday) by lawyers Tony Bubzee and Caroline Adams, claiming that four individuals—Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell—were allegedly severely assaulted by the singer and his associates in the backstage area.
As per the outlet, in the lawsuit, it was claimed that four individuals were invited to the Under The Influence singer’s VIP experience. They claimed that things turned violent when Brown’s camp realized that they were allegedly former ops.
According to the publication, the four individuals' version of the events is supported by Overpeck’s filings, which claim that the vocalist allegedly gave the command to his crew, which included Yella Beezy, to “f**k them up.” The lawsuit further characterizes the event as a “prison yard beat down!!!”
Overpeck asserted that he saw a 300-pound individual crush one of the men like a bug, and Team Beezy punched and kicked him when he attempted to intervene.
