Report: Beckham Jr. being sued for $15M over assault by his security team

Odell Beckham Jr. is being sued for $15 million over an alleged assault that took place in the New York Giants receiver's home, TMZ Sports reports. Beckham has denied any fault in the incident.

In the lawsuit, Ishmael Temple - who claims to be a friend of the Giants star - claims one of Beckham's security guards, Charles Puryear, pointed a gun at him at the receiver's house in January before being punched in the back of the head by another security member. Temple was also stomped on by Puryear and blacked out before waking up to more kicks to his face as Beckham stood idly by allowing the assault to continue.

Temple says he was bloodied, had two front teeth chipped, and had his lip busted. Despite suing for $15 million, Temple claims he spent just $18,000 to fix his teeth.

Beckham's attorney Daniel Davillier responded to the report of the lawsuit with a statement denying Temple's account of the incident.

"Even though Mr. Temple agrees that Mr. Beckham was in no way involved in the physical altercation, neither as a participant nor as an instigator, he nevertheless demanded money from Mr. Beckham, and has now filed a meritless suit against him," Davillier said in the statement.
