Chris Brown, Drake Fight Over Rihanna: Victim Update

Another innocent female victim in the Drake Vs. Chris Brown bottle fight … who claims she was also cracked in the head by a flying bottle when things got violent inside of the W.i.P. nightclub.

TMZ spoke with 21-year-old Veronica … who tells us she was hanging at a table with her friends Wednesday night when the brawl broke out.

“I heard people screaming … so I tried to get away from the action and hid behind a couch.”

While she was trying to hide, Veronica says she took a bottle to the face … causing a massive knot on her forehead.

During the madness that ensued, Veronica says she was trampled by someone … and suffered scrapes.  Veronica also suffered a deep gash on her hand.

Veronica was taken to an ambulance .. where she saw another female victim, Hollie C., who had also been hit by a bottle and was gushing blood from her forehead.

Veronica tells us, “I plan on suing the club over the incident.” She’s unsure if she will take legal action against Chris Brown or Drake … but adds, “I’m trying to see my best legal options.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
