Patti LaBelle Countersues West Point Cadet for 'Provoked Attack'

Wait - she actually takes 'fan' pictures with the Houston Police, shortly after the incident.

The video of her bodyguards beating up the cadet amazes me. He was casually walking and talking on his cell phone on airport property, in the same area everyone else was walking and crossing. I didn't know it was a crime to stand close to someone elses luggage. Then, after they push and punch the kid, he stumbles for some time and finally takes off. She then, stands around and takes pictures with fans! Disgusting. No class. She has the nerve to 'countersuit' for language he used - yeah, I think when you push someone around that is minding his own business, he might get a bit defensive and say things he might not usually say. I liked her, but obviously, we don't always know what a celebrity is REALLY like. I wouldn't call her a diva, she seems more like a B*itch.

Hmm, he seems to give the Hitler salute to a woman that passes him by, then after that he sticks his hand in the mans face who is standing around the luggage. Also, he leans close to the vehicle and seems to be having some sort of exchange prior to getting pushed. I doubt he's as innocent as he claims....

Well, well, it seems that the academy thought enough of the situation and placed the cadet in an "active-duty mentorship" program for 1 year, which means the cadet was not so innocent after all. We amy never know the full extent of the incident because the young man had to tell the academy the truth or be expelled. As for you negative comments about her music - it's not meant for you and most of you don't sound as though you are of her persuasian anyway. Go and stick your self-righteous heads back in the sand. As for the mother that one too is up in the air. But I bet you all thought Amy Drug/Drunk Winehouse could sing - what a joke.

Patti LaBelle has hormone overload! What an old bag!

Famous people have special privileges, but hopefully the rule of Law will bust her Ass. She should have informed her body guards that a Public Place has many people that have rights that her fame doesn't over rule. I hope he sues the Crap out of her and Wins.

1. She's a Diva
2. She's a Diva
3. She's a Diva

Did I miss something? She's counter-suing because he spoke harshly to her on a public sidewalk? He can be clearly seen ignoring his surroundings on a public sidewalk when suddenly he's brutally attacked on a public sidewalk. The idiots at West Point didn't waste a moment's time jumping through hoops for this sow to ruin this man's career- yet the Houston Police could clearly see a crime was committed by these thugs and that their men acted inappropriately. Richard, believe me, you're better off without those ring bangers.

Oh please. The footage DOES speak volumes, ambulance chaser. That drunken punk was wavering around next to a suitcase and the bodyguards asked him to back off. Then he started dropping the N-Bomb and after the one guy pushed him away, he was raising hell and DARING them to do something about it. Sometimes a loudmouth gets what he asks for. I love the way he has a bandage around his head and has to be "helped" to walk and all that...for the cameras once he finds out there's a celeb to sue over it. Cashing in for being an *******..this is what it comes to. And this is the future officer in charge of sending our enlisted folks possibly to their deaths? Yeah, really trust this guy's judgment with other people's lives on the line.

I hope he cleans her clock!
