Snoop Denies Attack On Fan
Ole Snoop Dogg aka Calvin Broadus back in court again. A Richard Monroe, Jr. (concert goer) filed a lawsuit back in 2006, claiming he was attacked during a 2005 concert in Seattle, Washington. Get this, Monroe is suing for $22 million.
Snoop has denied any involvement in this attack. Instead, during Snoop Dogg’s testimony he offered this explanation as to the course of events of that evening.
Monroe has claimed that he was attacked and had alcohol poured on him during Snoop’s performance of “Gin and Juice.” According to the rapper’s lawyers, Snoop’s bodyguards thought the MC was being attacked when Monroe jumped onstage. A video was played in court, and Snoop identified the people involved in the scuffle as being security staff employed by the Game (who also performed at the concert).
That part of the trial brought a moment of levity to the proceedings: When one person on the screen was difficult to identify, Snoop said to his attorney, “Man! I can’t [make] it out — a lot of bald heads.”
Monroe claimed he was hit by a microphone and attacked by bodyguards while onstage, and woke up nude, in a pool of blood, after the incident. He said he had gone onstage after what he thought was a request for audience members to join the performers.
Snoop testified that he did not hit the fan, and responded to the claims by telling the courtroom, “The best way for the injuries not to have occurred was for him to stay in his seat and enjoy the show like the rest of the fans.”
Is this guy serious, $22 million dollars?
