Chris Brown
Tequila Attack Lawsuit Settled
Published
Chris Brown‘s putting one part of his legal battle over an alleged nightclub fight behind him — as he seems to have reached a settlement with the guy who sued him over it.
Abe Diaw sued Chris back in 2023, claiming the singer struck him with a tequila bottle during an appearance at TAPE nightclub in London — but on Friday, Abe filed docs asking an L.A. County judge to dismiss the suit.
According to the docs, Diaw wants it dismissed with prejudice … meaning he can’t refile it, and that typically means there was a settlement between the parties. We don’t know if there was any money exchanged … we’ve reached out to attorneys for Chris and Abe.
In the suit, Diaw had claimed Chris not only struck him 3 times with the bottle of Don Julio 1942, but while he was unconscious on the floor … Chris continued to “ruthlessly stomp” on him, leaving him with some lasting injuries.
Assuming the judge signs off on the dismissal … CB will still have to deal with his criminal case for the incident. Remember, he was arrested earlier this year shortly after landing in the UK for his world tour — prosecutors have charged him with assault and possession of a weapon.
He was eventually released on bail, and appeared in court 10 days ago to enter a not guilty plea.
