Overview
- The lawsuit, filed by the yacht captain and crew, alleges that during a June 2024 Miami charter Scott became intoxicated, demanded a jet ski, jumped off the boat and later returned to assault multiple crew members.
- Plaintiffs say the confrontation included threats, the firing of a security guard who tried to intervene, physical strikes that injured staff, and efforts to block crew from leaving until police arrived.
- Scott was arrested after the incident, booked and released on a $650 bond after an apprehension reported around 4:30 a.m., and prosecutors later dropped disorderly intoxication and trespassing charges.
- Scott’s lawyer has publicly denied that an assault occurred and described the matter as a misunderstanding while media requests to his representatives drew no immediate comment.
- The civil case moves the matter into court where plaintiffs must prove liability by a lower civil standard than in criminal court, and the suit follows Scott’s prior high‑profile litigation, including claims from the 2021 Astroworld tragedy.
