Justin Bieber‘s former bodyguard Moshe Benabou has filed a lawsuit against the singer for assault and battery and unpaid wages.

Benabou claims that he was punched in the chest multiple times after 18-year-old Bieber lost his temper following a concert and fired him. He also claims that he’s owed $421,261 in “unpaid wages, unspecified damages and court costs after working overtime to protect the pop star.”

In the complaint, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Benabou says the altercation took place on Oct. 10, 2012 while the two were backstage before a concert.

“Justin Bieber, egged on by a small group of his ‘companions,’ launched an abusive tirade against Moshe Benabou,” the suit states. “The tirade was apparently triggered by what Justin Bieber perceived as an attempt by Moshe Benabou to keep one member of Mr. Bieber’s entourage physically away from Justin Bieber. As part of his tirade, Justin Bieber repeatedly punched [the plaintiff] in the chest and upper body area.”

Benabou, who didn’t “retaliate” against Bieber, said the singer then yelled at him, ”You are fired!”

There has been no comment from Bieber or his reps.

Boy, it’s been one hell of a week for the Biebz.
