Tony Parker uses Chris Brown-Frank Ocean fight as evidence in lawsuit

Tony Parker is using singer Chris Brown's fight with Frank Ocean as evidence in his $20 million lawsuit filed against the owners of a Manhattan nightclub where the San Antonio Spurs star injured his eye during a bottle-throwing brawl last summer.

TMZ reports that Parker has filed new legal documents in his lawsuit against the nightclub W.i.P. — the site of a reported dust-up between Brown and his fellow rapper Drake's posses.   During the wild melee, a shard of flying glass went flying into the NBA star's left eye.

After a possible career-ending scare, the Spurs guard had to wear protective goggles while playing for the France team in the London Olympics because of the injury.




Parker is suing the management of Entertainment Enterprises, Ltd. for the millions claiming they should have never let Brown into the celebrity hangout.

Parker is now using Brown's alleged volatile temper as evidence in the lawsuit, citing the January 27th Brown-Ocean parking lot altercation outside a Los Angeles recording studio.

The misdemeanor battery charges against Brown were dropped when Ocean decided not to press charges.

According to TMZ, Parker claims the reported Brown-Ocean fight proves that Brown is, "unfit to socialize in places where he's likely to fly off the handle."  His lawyers believe there is enough evidence to prove Brown should have been denied entry the night of the W.i.P. brawl — which allegedly started over the sultry singer Rihanna.

Brown is still on probation for his 2009 assault on Rihanna.

Chris Brown, Drake offered $1 million each to get into boxing ring

Tough guy rappers Drake and Chris Brown have been offered $1 million apiece to continue their unfinished, nightclub sparring session within the confines of a boxing ring.

The New York Daily News reports that celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman said billionaire soda bottling heir Aiki David has offered to back the fight and give another $1 million to charity if the two Rihanna rivals agree to put up their dukes.

"Obviously, they have a grudge.  It's just three 1-minute rounds.  No one will get seriously hurt," Feldman told the Daily News.



Feldman— who has promoted fights with D-list celebrities like Jose Canseco, Danny Bonaduce and Tonya Harding— said the pay-per-view event could be in Las Vegas or Los Angeles with a target date of Aug. 25.

The infamous, bottle-throwing brawl at a lower-Manhattan nightclub on June 14 left Brown, his girlfriend and six others injured from the melee.  San Antonio Spurs guard— and Brown's friend— Tony Parker has filed a $20 million lawsuit against the club, W.i.P., for damage to his left eye after getting hit by flying glass.

NYPD is still investigating claims that Drake taunted Brown and his posse with overtures related to his former girlfriend singer Rihanna— whom they both dated.

The Daily News said a Brown representative told them they had "never heard" about Feldman's offer.



Feldman said he'd like Rihanna to participate in the proposed grudge-match. The scrawny Brown was convicted of beating her up in 2009.

"I would love to have Rihanna as the ring girl," said Feldman.

That might be the best part of the whole fight.

Let's see— without bottles or bodyguards— I would make Drake a legitimate favorite.

Tony Parker sues for injury in Chris Brown-Drake brawl

NBA star Tony Parker— who was injured in a free-for-all bottle-throwing melee at a Manhattan nightclub— has filed a $20 million lawsuit against the club operators for negligence in security and supervision.

The San Antonio Spurs guard got caught in the middle of rap stars Drake and Chris Brown's brawl— provoked by their love-triangle relationship with singer Rihanna— at the Soho hot spot W.i.P last week.  The object of their affection was not at the club that night.

In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Parker holds W.i.P.'s owners responsible for the "corneal laceration of the left eye and other injuries" he suffered at the scene where seven others— including Brown and his girlfriend— were injured.  The club has since been shut down.



Parker's lawyer, David  Jaroslawicz, blamed the club for knowingly allowing the two men, who have both dated the singer, into the club and creating a volatile atmosphere.

"The defendants were reckless, careless and negligent in permitting Drake's and Brown's entourage to be in the same club at the same time despite knowing the tension between the two," the filing says.

"She's been known, like Helen of Troy, to cause trouble," said Jaroslawicz about Rihanna.

Neither Brown or Drake were named in the suit but blame each other for instigating the Trojan War.


Jaroslawicz said selling booze with bottle service is like "throwing gasoline on the flames."



The suit says Parker wasn't sitting with either side but has said he was "with my friend Chris Brown" when the fight began.

"Me and my friends took some punches," said Parker.  "They started throwing bottles everywhere."

Parker was preparing to play with the French team at the London Games this summer but said he'll be sidelined for a week as his eye heals with the aid of a "therapeutic" contact lens.

"I'll be missing the the start of the French team because I can't do anything for a week except keep the lens in and then take drops," he said.

Spurs' Tony Parker was injured in Chris Brown-Drake bar brawl

Tony Parker might have more than one reason to wish his San Antonio Spurs team was still in the NBA playoffs.  The NBA star was in the wrong place at the wrong time early Thursday morning when he suffered a scratched retina on one of his eyes during the bottle-hurling brawl at a New York City nightclub involving rappers Chris Brown and Drake— reportedly over the singer Rihanna.

Parker , wearing dark glasses, described the incident Friday in Paris during a news conference posted on YouTube.  He said he expects to be sidelined about a week while the French Olympic team prepares for the London Games.

The Spurs' guard said he was wearing a "therapeutic" contact lens and had to go to an emergency room after arriving in Paris.



The French basketball star described the melee and aftermath: "I was with my friend Chris Brown and me and my friends took some punches, so I'll be missing the start of the French team because I can't do anything for a week except keep the lens in and then take drops."

Those relatively quiet nights banging elbows against the Oklahoma City Thunder probably don't seem so bad now.  The Spurs were knocked out of the playoffs by the Thunder 4-2 last week.

The fight turned into a bottle-tossing free-for-all and police said Brown, his girlfriend and his bodyguard were among several people injured in the fight at the Soho club.

Parker said, "They started throwing bottles everywhere.  I don't know what happened.  At first it was OK, but then it started getting worse and when the plane landed it was really hurting so I went straight to the ER."



The glass and bottle-throwing was so bad, a NYC council member is looking to curb "bottle service" at all city clubs and bars.

The San Antonio Spurs declined comment.

Parker is used to making the gossip pages with his ex-wife, actress Eva Longoria, but I'm sure he never hoped he'd be making headlines linking him to Rihanna in this scenario.
