Chris Brown Suing Promoter for Emotional Distress


Two years ago Chris Brown was detained in Manilla after a dispute with a concert promoter [click here if you missed that].

Now Chris is suing the promoters for emotional distress...

According to reports Chris Brown has filed a lawsuit against the promoter claiming he suffered extreme emotional distress after he was held in Manila for several days by a concert promoter demanding $300k for a concert he canceled on New Years Eve but made up.

From TMZ
Chris says the trouble started when he was forced to delay a New Year's Eve 2014 gig in the Philippines ... due to a "misplaced passport." He arranged to play the makeup show in July 2015 ... and performed right on schedule.
The next day ... Chris was trying to leave his hotel -- but, according to the docs, he was met by armed men who blocked his exit. Chris says a lawyer for the arena walked up and told him he would be arrested -- unless he wired $300k to a trust fund for Jose Victor Los Banos Biongco.
Chris refused to pay, hired an immigration attorney and eventually got clearance to leave the country. He says on his way to the airport ... Biongco and his reps continued to text, asking for the dough.
Chris eventually made it home safe but now he wants the promoter to pay unspecified damages for his extreme emotional distress.
