U.S singer, Rockwell was arrested for allegedly beating a female employee with a chair at a Hollywood hotel.
The troubled son of Motown legend Berry Gordy, who had his only hit with the 1984 track Somebody’s Watching Me, was taken into custody and charged with a felony following the incident at the Magic Castle Hotel on 29 November last year (18), according to U.S. website The Blast.
His alleged victim is now suing him over injuries that she claims included a broken arm that required surgery.
Sources tell The Blast the woman approached Rockwell, real name Kennedy Gordy, about paying back a debt he owed her, and he responded by attacking her with a chair.
The 54-year-old musician was jailed for two days before he was released on bail of $30,000 (£23,500) on 1 December.
She filed a personal injury lawsuit against Rockwell in Los Angeles on Monday (07Jan19), claiming damages of more than $25,000 (£19,600).
Rockwell reportedly has a number of legal problems, including a criminal threats case and is facing another charge of indecent exposure and lewd acts.
The one-hit-wonder is yet to head to court over the alleged chair attack.
