In the world of entertainment, legal battles are not uncommon. Recently, reality star Chrisean Rock found herself at the center of a lawsuit filed by singer James Wright Chanel. As the news broke, Chrisean took to social media to respond, mocking her accuser and expressing her confidence in the outcome of the case.
James Wright Chanel, a background singer, has accused Chrisean Rock of assaulting him during Tamar Braxton’s Love & War 10th Anniversary concert in Los Angeles back in November. In his lawsuit, Wright alleges that Chrisean used homophobic slurs and physically attacked him, causing multiple lacerations to his face and breaking two of his teeth. The incident reportedly occurred backstage after Chrisean was escorted off the stage due to scheduling conflicts that prevented her from giving a full performance.
In response to the lawsuit, Chrisean Rock took to social media to express her thoughts. On her X account (formerly Twitter), the reality star tweeted, “Dis big back bitch n***a think he finna get a cent out of me bitch you know you just wasted yo money on dat damn lawyer right.” While Chrisean did not explicitly mention James Wright Chanel by name, the timing of the tweet suggests a connection to the ongoing legal battle.

Tamar Braxton, the host of the concert where the alleged assault took place, invited Chrisean Rock as a special guest. Originally, Braxton intended for Chrisean to perform at the event. However, due to scheduling conflicts, Chrisean was only able to attend as a guest. The tensions between Chrisean and James Wright Chanel reportedly escalated backstage, leading to the physical altercation.

Braxton referred to Wright as “traumatized” and added the hashtag #JusticeforJames in her caption. The post indicated Braxton’s solidarity with Wright and her desire to see him receive justice.
As of now, it remains unclear whether Chrisean Rock has formally responded to the lawsuit in court. Her social media activity suggests that she has chosen not to address the situation any further.

People have taken to social media to voice their thoughts and theories, adding another layer of complexity to the already controversial situation.
