Patti Labelle has been slapped with a lawsuit by a West Point (NY) cadet, who claimed he was beaten up by her security guards in an incident partially captured on videotape at the Houston International Airport.According to his attorney, Richard King, 23, was allegedly on the phone with his brother waiting to be picked at Bush International Airport in the March 11 incident when he was viciously attacked by LaBelle’s bodyguards, while he unknowingly stood next to the star’s luggage and limo.
LaBelle’s bodyguards reportedly told police the “intoxicated” cadet attempted to get into the star’s limo, and that he incited the attack by throwing the first punch. King denies he even knew who LaBelle was prior to the incident.
Raley said he wants criminal charges brought against the attackers, and his civil lawsuit is attempting to hold the singer responsible as well.
“LaBelle is responsible not only for the actions of herself, but the actions of her security forces under the doctrine of respondent superior,” the suit alleges.
The suit, filed in Houston civil court, also states the R&B diva “lowered the window of her limousine and gave a command to her bodyguards,” prompting them to spring into action.
If a judge finds the claim to be accurate, LaBelle could face serious trouble.
Yes the man was madd close to her stuff, but you can not really see if he was going into her things. The camera also does not show that he was trying to get into limo or nor did he throw the first punch. The camera slearly shows that the bodyguard pushed him, then he threw a punch. I mean after watching this video you can make your own judgment, but the way they handled this man was so unnecessary. This guy was so fragile and small they did not need to beat him up. Make it worse the cops come on the scene and before they get what they need to get done. These mofo's taking pictures and shit. LOL at this one right here. Now Patti caught up in a Lawsuit. SMDH!!!
