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.”
Haim have offered an early glimpse into their next album, telling NME that New York has been fueling their creativity and that they are “always writing”.

The Los Angeles group, featuring siblings Danielle, Este and Alana Haim, put out their fourth studio album, ‘I Quit’, during the summer of 2025.
During a recent conversation with NME, Este spoke about creating the soundtrack for the new Bella Ramsey movie Sunny Dancer with Zachary Dawes, known for his work with Lana Del Rey and The Last Shadow Puppets. The bassist was also asked whether Haim had started developing fresh music.
“Haim business is open for business, 24 hours, seven days a week,” the musician responded. “We’re always writing, we’re always thinking about what the next thing is going to sound like.”
Still, Este indicated that the sisters are not rushing into their fifth album and plan to give themselves enough space to discover new ideas. She explained that she “just want[s] to live in it a little bit and experience life”.
“I want to revel in being married for a minute,” Este went on. “I didn’t get married until I was 39, so now I want to enjoy it and stop and smell the roses for a little bit.”
Discussing what has been sparking ideas for Haim and possibly influencing the direction of their upcoming project, Este pointed to the time she has spent in New York and the friendships she has been able to revisit there.
“I’ve really found New York to be very inspiring. Being here and reconnecting with friends that I went to college with and didn’t have the chance to hang out with because I was living in LA has been really great.
“And the energy in New York, I’ve really been thriving in it. You go outside of your door and you’re in the shit; you are in the flow whether you like it or not. I’ve found it really inspiring – just the energy and the sounds of New York, it’s so different for me.”
Asked how those surroundings might eventually translate into Haim’s music, Este kept the details under wraps, saying: “We’ll have to wait and see! I don’t know the answers yet, but I’m having a great time figuring it out!”
Este has also worked with Christopher Stracey on the music for the upcoming Callum Turner film One Night Only. Her previous composing credits include Netflix’s Maid and the Sydney Sweeney romantic comedy Anyone But You.
She takes on the role of Aura in Sunny Dancer as well. Meanwhile, her sister and fellow Haim member Alana Haim has appeared in The Mastermind, The Drama and One Battle After Another within roughly the last year.
Haim marked the arrival of ‘I Quit’ last summer by playing an unannounced performance at Glastonbury Festival. After completing a run of North American dates, the trio embarked on a UK arena tour later that year.
‘I Quit’ earned a place on NME’s ranking of the 50 best albums released in 2025, while ‘Relationships’ was included among the publication’s standout songs of the year. A deluxe version followed in October, adding ‘Tie You Down’, a collaboration with Bon Iver.
Awarding the original release four stars, NME said: “‘I Quit’ is set at a crossroads in the grieving process, when lessons have already been learned, but the pain of memories still linger.
“But this is still a Haim album, and their songs never linger on despair, are never far from the warmth of their sisterhood. They’re no longer the pop group you once knew, but this record is proof that sometimes, you really do need to let go in order to grow.”
