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.”
KATSEYE have officially begun a fresh chapter with the announcement of their forthcoming single, Pinky Up.
The K-pop girl group sparked curiosity online after sharing a string of mysterious posts that quickly had fans trying to piece together the clues.
The first teaser, posted on March 30, featured the Mona Lisa gently raising a hot cup of tea with her pinky finger lifted. The next video, uploaded the next day, showed an arcade claw machine labeled with the group’s name pulling a sword from a mix of sparkling plush toys and a single teacup. Making things even more intriguing, the caption stated: “We’re screaming from cloud nine!!”
Their third update finally revealed the song title along with its cover art. The image showed a figure kneeling on a rug next to a teacup and a toy cat, while the title appeared in bright hot pink text across the visual. The group also confirmed the release date as April 9.
Pinky Up will arrive just one day before KATSEYE appear at Coachella on April 10, which will mark their first time performing at the famous festival.
The single also marks their first comeback since HYBE and Geffen confirmed that member Manon Bannerman would be stepping away for a period of time to prioritize her “health and well being.”
In a message posted on Weverse, they shared: "Hello. After open and thoughtful conversations together, we are sharing that Manon will be taking a temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and wellbeing."
The group expressed that they “fully support this decision,” and added: “KATSEYE remains committed to showing up for one another and for the fans who mean everything to us. We look forward to being together again when the time is right.”
While she is away, the group will continue promotions with Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza and Yoonchae Jeung.
They closed their message by saying: “Thank you to our EYEKONS for your continued love, patience, and understanding.”
