According to Usmagazine.com, Chris Brown has been sued by a photographer who claims the singer was involved in a violent incident in March. Robert Rosen is suing Brown and the L.A. Fitness gym for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment.
According to TMZ.com, Brown was playing basketball at the gym's court in Los Angeles, and when Rosen (a member of the fitness center) tried to take photos, he said that Brown's bodyguards "shook me with incredible force."
However, this isn't Rosen's first scuffle with a star. The photographer sued Pierce Brosnan in late 2007 after the actor allegedly struck him in the chest in Malibu. According to Rosen at the time, Brosnan caused him "severe physical and emotional pain and injuries, including bruised ribs." The charges against the actor were ultimately dismissed.
Mark Geragos, the attorney for Brown, told Us that the suit has no merit. "This is a specious and frivolous lawsuit by one of the paparazzi seeking publicity and a payday," Geragos said. "[Rosen] has done this before and lost. We will vigorously defend against this."
