Photographer Luis Santana, 26, is seeking the money to replace a $3,000 camera that was busted and stolen; to pay for the photos he lost; and to recompense him for his injuries and emotional distress, said his attorney, Paul Kimsey.
The lawsuit, filed on Dec.2, is based on a May 6 occurrence as Chris Brown and Rihanna commemorated Brown’s 19th birthday at Vintage Ultra Lounge in St. Petersburg. The club and three alleged aggressors also are named as defendants in the suit.
Santana took at least one picture of the couple through an open window of their limo, Kimsey said. Then bodyguards working for Chris Brown, Rihanna and Vintage Ultra Lounge chased Santana, forced him to the ground and stole his camera, breaking it in the process, according to Kimsey.
“This is America. It’s called the First Amendment. If you’re in public, you’re subject to being photographed,” Kimsey said. “Everyone is, celebrity or not.”
