Chrisean Rock‘s list of problems stemming from an alleged fight last year just got longer.
On Tuesday (February 6), the social media personality and rapper was sued for allegedly assaulting a man named James Wright Chanel following a Tamar Braxton show in Los Angeles last November. The plaintiff, who is a backup singer for the Grammy Award nominee, claims he was sent to the hospital with two broken teeth and cuts on his face, according to legal documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times. This suit is in addition to a criminal case filed against Rock last month for the same incident.

“She hit him multiple times in the face for no reason at all. We were surprised that she was able to leave the facility that night,” Wright Chanel’s attorney said. “She had on rings that were pretty much equivalent to brass knuckles.”
The fight reportedly stemmed from the reality television star being upset that she wasn’t allowed to rap at the performance. The suit claims that in addition to the assault, Rock used a homophobic slur directed at Wright Chanel.

Soon after the allegations first surfaced in November, Chrisean Rock declared her innocence, noting that there’s no footage of the attack.
“Why try to lie and say nobody told you she was about to perform?” her friend, who was present at the show, said during an Instagram Live. “Why did she have the mic, why did they have me give the DJ her music? Like, make it make sense. Why even tell her to pull up and get on stage and all that?”
The 23-year-old then chimed in and said: “N-ggas is evil nowadays and they so old and washed up, they don’t know what to do. That’s the last resort. So, good luck with that though. You feel me?
“I’m not here to fuck people over. Fuck that. I left my son at home to get embarrassed? And then they tried to lie about the embarrassment and say I hit somebody.”

She continued: “Did I hit somebody or get embarrassed? It would have been a video! […] They lying and shit, don’t got no police report. Just clout chasing.”
