Chrisean Rock‘s facing a legal battle on the civil front … she’s on the receiving end of a lawsuit for an alleged assault, one that allegedly took place during a Tamar Braxton show.
According to legal documents, obtained by TMZ … TV personality James Wright is suing Chrisean, claiming she attacked him at a club show back in November — an incident he says led to multiple face lacerations and two broken teeth.
ICYMI … James Wright was reportedly hospitalized following Tamar’s show in Downtown Los Angeles around this same time. Tamar talked about the alleged incident during an IG Live where she said Chrisean thought she was supposed to have a bigger role in the show … and apparently became agitated when she was told that wasn’t the case.
1/1/24We obtained video showing Chrisean breaking up a prayer circle before the show … but eyewitnesses on the tour told us that had nothing to do with the alleged incident.
1/1/24Anyway … in the suit, James, who sang backup for TB, says he told Rock she was supposed to only come onstage for the twerk portion at the end of the night. He says he told her she was not in the properly designated area and that’s when she allegedly hit him.
Wright claims Rock stuck him several times using a hand with “large champion style rings” that caused the lacerations and broken teeth. He also claims she called him a homophobic slur in the aftermath of the alleged assault.
Wright says he was sent to the hospital and also had to consult with a dentist and plastic surgeon in the aftermath of the alleged incident.
Now, James is taking Chrisean for assault, battery, and emotional distress … and he’s seeking compensation for his medical bills, among other damages.
