LA Fitness Baulks At Chris Brown Photog Complaint
Jul. 9 2009, Published 7:30 a.m. ET
Sports club L.A. Fitness International, LCC has responded to a lawsuit filed by Robert Rosen, the photographer who snapped singer Chris Brown at one of
their Los Angeles locations during his battery drama with Rihanna.
The Fitness Center calls Rosen's claims of malice, oppression and fraud bogus--as Rosen gained access to their Universal City, Ca. location, where
Brown was playing basketball with the friends, under the guise of being a member.
The incident, occurring in May, left Rosen allegedly assaulted by Brown's bodyguards, who were taken by surprise with the impromptu photo shoot. Rosen
claimed that LA Fitness employees blocked his exit.
The gym says no actions on their part meet lawful requirements to be considered fraud, malice or numerous other offenses Rosen claims.
