Popular YouTuber Jack Doherty is facing a lawsuit for assault and battery following an incident at a Halloween party in Los Angeles. The lawsuit alleges that Doherty and his bodyguard, Kane Kongg, were involved in an altercation that resulted in physical harm to another partygoer.

Allegations and Video Evidence

The lawsuit, filed by a man named Chase Gardella, claims that he was at the Halloween party on October 29 and had a conversation with Doherty and Kongg. According to Gardella, the altercation was instigated by Doherty, who allegedly challenged Gardella and another individual to a physical confrontation. Video footage from the party appears to show Kongg punching a person, causing them to fall to the ground.

Claims of Unprovoked Assault

Gardella asserts that he did not consent to being punched and sustained injuries to his head, neck, and face as a result of the incident. The lawsuit also references Doherty’s YouTube videos, alleging that the content often features his bodyguards intimidating individuals who react negatively to his pranks. Additionally, the lawsuit mentions Kongg’s previous legal issues related to alleged assaults, including an incident involving a woman while working security for rapper DaBaby.

Legal Action and Seeking Damages

Chase Gardella’s attorney, Greyson Goody, condemned the alleged assault as “disgusting” and “unprovoked,” emphasizing the impact it has had on his client. The lawsuit targets Doherty for assault, battery, negligence, and emotional distress, with Gardella seeking unspecified damages for the injuries he sustained during the altercation.
