Chris Brown SUED!

A man is suing Chris Brown, claiming that a bodyguard for the R&B singer assaulted the him when he photographed Brown at a Los Angeles gym about a month after the singer’s arrest for allegedly beating and choking his pop star girlfriend Rihanna.

In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Robert Rosen says he snapped a photo of Brown playing basketball at LA Fitness in Universal City in March. When people around Chris started yelling at him and approaching him, Robert says, he started running away to avoid confrontation.

He says in the suit that an employee of the fitness center grabbed at him and his clothes to try to stop him. He broke free, but fell as he was going down the stairs. Chris’s bodyguard caught up with him, picked him up by his shorts and began physically assaulting him, Robert alleges.

All the while, Robert claims in the suit, he cried out for employees of the fitness center to call the police or 911 because he was injured. Robert says he was “severely injured and disabled, both internally and externally, and suffered extreme emotional distress.”

The lawsuit also names LA Fitness as a defendant, and alleges negligence, premises liability and false imprisonment, among other things. It seeks medical expenses and other unspecified damages.

Last December another photographer sued Chris after he was assaulted by a bodyguard.

Mark Geragos, attorney for Chris Brown, said in a statement: "This 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."

Back in 2007, Robert got into a physical altercation with actor Pierce Bronson.

According to reports, the photographer shooting the actor as he shopped in a Malibu mall with his kids. Robert claimed Pierce said to him: "Why don't you get a real f**king job." Rosen says he then started complimenting Pierce on his Bond roles.

Pierce allegedly said, "Why don't you f**k off, mate," and punched the photog in the ribs. A witness says the pap reacted by kicking Pierce in the stomach. Don't poke the bear!
