Chris Brown accused of assaulting Brazil's Kim Kardashian

by Richard Howard

Known person-puncher Chris Brown is claiming that he didn’t punch a female partier at a Las Vegas hotel following a concert on New Year’s Day. However, the alleged victim is insistent that she was indeed assaulted by the R&B star.

Model Liziane Gutierrez (also known as “Brazil’s Kim Kardashian”) has claimed that after “managing” to get her cellphone past Brown’s security (presumably cellphones weren’t allowed) and entering a private party in his suite, she attempted to snap a photo of the singer. At that point, she says Brown flew into a rage, began yelling at her, and punched her once in the right eye. Gutierrez told the media that she then left and later called the police but was not taken to the hospital.

Brown and his management have both denied the claims, though in starkly different manners. His management cited them as “unequivocally untrue” and surmised the story was fabricated due to Gutierrez’ ejection from the party for “disruptive and out of control” behaviour. Chris Brown, meanwhile, took a more Chris Brown-y approach, filming a classy video in which he described Gutierrez as a “dusty”, “old looking bitch” who is “looking for a cheque” and was probably “too ugly” to get into his suite.
