Lounge Singer Chris Evans Sues Venue Over Career-Destroying Defamation

The dispute dates back to 1991, when Evans was attacked on stage during a performance at the venue. An assailant used an electrical stun device on him, an incident he claims left lasting scars. By 2015, he received a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder, which he links to the assault and subsequent management by the venue.

The lawsuit seeks compensation for the harm Evans says he has suffered over decades. His claims include lost earnings, emotional distress, and damage to his professional standing. The outcome of the case could impact how venues handle disputes with performers in the future.
