As if he doesn't have enought going on in his life, a photographer is suing Chris Brown, saying his bodyguards assaulted him when he tried to take pictures of the R&B singer at the gym.
In a stroke of unintentional irony, the lawsuit, filed by photographer Robert Rosen, emerged the same day Brown hit the internet with his "I am not a monster" video.
Rosen claims he was assaulted by Brown's bodyguards after trying to capture his likeness at a Universal City gym.
According to his suit, he was injured when he fell down a flight of stairs while trying to get away from Brown's bodyguards at LA Fitness.
He also claims a LA Fitness employee prevented him from leaving the gym.
Rosen is reportedly seeking unspecified damages from Brown and LA Fitness for a host of claims including assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence.
