Chris Brown is being sued by a photographer who claims the singer was involved in a violent incident on a Los Angeles basketball court back in March.

According to the lawsuit, filed just moments ago in L.A. County Superior Court, the photog claims it all went down just weeks after the Rihanna incident, when he shot a photo of Chris playing ball with his friends.

The photog claims Chris’ bodyguards yelled at him — so he tried to leave the gym … but an L.A. Fitness employee tried to block his escape.

The photog says he then fell down a stairwell, which allowed the bodyguards to catch up with him — where they, “picked him up by his shorts and physically assaulted him.”

The photog claims he was a paying member at the gym and had every right to be on the property.

Now the man is suing Chris and LA Fitness for assault and battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and premises liability.

Coincidentally, this is the same guy who attempted to sue Pierce Brosnan over a violent incident with the star in Malibu — but that case was dismissed.

    why is he bein sued he didnt do nothin

  • CHELLE

    why is he sueing chris?! chris had absolutely nothing to do with it. This guys probably sueing chris now cause of the "rihanna situation" , and it'll make people hate more. Did that make any sense?! ahaha
    But, this probably gonna get dismissed. "Coincidentally, this is the same guy who attempted to sue Pierce Brosnan over a violent incident with the star in Malibu — but that case was dismissed."

    this case will be dropped. time to move on. he basically just ruins any chance of winning it with this video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfxiNIdjj48

    what I want to know was, if you were just going to contradict yourself on video, why even bother suing Chris in the first place?

    w/e…moving on…

    I'm noticing that since tomorrow is another court date that there is so much Chris Brown news going around. His upbeat attitude makes me think that he really feels good about what will happen in court.

    It looks like Rihanna is hiding these days. I know that I keep saying this but I wonder what Chris's lawyer learned when he investigated into who released that photo. I really wonder if her camp did it to turn the public against Chris.

    It seems like he's feeling pretty good these days and I really am glad.

    UPDATE: Chris Brown lawyer, Mark Geragos, released this statement: "The is a specious and frivolous lawsuit by one of the paparazzi seeking publicity and a payday. He's done this before and lost. We will vigorously defend against this."

    this is according to tmz. they have recently updated the story w/this at the bottom.

    Okaii this guy is not serious if he thinks he has a chance of winning.
    One chris was not personally involved.
    Two this man has done this before and lost.
    Three there is no evidence to back him up.
    Four Mark is a high power attorney one that he don’t have.
    So I think chris shouldn’t worry people are making such a big deal.
