Chrisean Rock has been served with a lawsuit by Tamar Braxton‘s friend, James Wright Chanel, after Blueface‘s baby mama posted her location live on social media.
Radar Online is reporting that a process server officially filed the affidavit of service against the ex-athlete on May 4, when she was served at Cathedral High School in Los Angeles.
Rock previously posted that she’d be at the high school for football practice, making it easy for Wright to dispatch the process server.
The reality star now has a limited amount of time to file an answer to the lawsuit, but it’s unclear if she’ll do so.
Wright Chanel first sued Chrisean Rock back in February of this year, alleging that Rock assaulted him following a Tamar Braxton show in Los Angeles last November.
The plaintiff, who is a backup singer for Braxton, 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 at the top of the year 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’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.”
Zara Larsson has indicated that she may have cancelled her December 3 appearance at the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The singer initially confirmed that she would not attend, before removing the comment and sharing a more detailed explanation of why the performance no longer feels right for her.
The Swedish star was scheduled to take the stage at Etihad Live on Yas Island during the Yasalam After-Race Concerts. Zara and Lewis Capaldi were due to launch the weekend’s entertainment. However, supporters encouraged her to reconsider the booking because of concerns surrounding the United Arab Emirates’ reported connections to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary organisation accused of committing atrocities during the nation’s civil conflict.
A fan commented: “Please read about what UAE is doing to Sudan then cancel your Abu Dhabi show!” Zara responded: “I will not be going to Abu Dhabi.” Fans later realised that both comments had been removed.
She then shared that she had been considering what it means for her, as an artist, to perform in particular countries.
The Midnight Sun singer explained: “I think about that a lot in my life as an artist… I wanna perform and spread joy and music for people in every country, because no single person is their government.
“I’ve met so many wonderful people from every corner of the world and I know this to be true in my heart. I love people, and I love my fans soooo much.”
Zara acknowledged that her original comment “maybe came off as an impulsive response,” but explained that she had given the booking serious thought. She now believes withdrawing is the decision that “aligns with me the most right now, for many different personal reasons beyond politics.”
She continued: “Maybe I’ll delete both comments and do a better statement soon. I hope to sing with you in the beautiful future!”
