Patti LaBelle hit with new lawsuit after another altercation

For the second time this year, Patti LaBelle is being sued after an altercation.

Back in March, LaBelle and her entourage were involved in a situation at the Houston airport where a West Point cadet, who was on his cellphone, wandered a bit too close to LaBelle's bags for her liking. Video on the scene showed the singer's bodyguards pushed and punched the cadet down three times, causing a reported concussion. LaBelle was sued by the cadet and she, in turn, counter-sued him claiming that he started the altercation.

Now, a New York couple are suing LaBelle over an incident in an apartment building lobby. According to the filing, Roseanna Monk was in the lobby with her 18-month-old daughter when the toddler wandered a short distance away while the mother was dealing with luggage and a car seat. Words were exchanged ending with LaBelle throwing water on the mother and daughter, launching into a obscenity-filled tirade and charging the woman to hit her.

According to the couple's lawyer, Monk asked LaBelle for an apology and a donation to a children's cancer fund but the singer refused.
