A former Meta employee accused UFC fighter-turned-influencer Jake Shields of physically assaulting him while working security at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas on November 27, 2022. The lawsuit filed in Clark County District Court seeks damages including medical expenses, lost wages, and punitive damages.
According to court documents, Jake Shields allegedly attacked security guard Christopher Roe without provocation, causing injuries that led to physical trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress. The incident reportedly occurred around 3 AM when Shields tried to enter the hotel through an employee-only entrance.
Roe claims he politely informed Shields that he needed to use the main entrance, leading to verbal abuse from Shields who proceeded to "tackle, push and strike" him. The lawsuit states Roe suffered head trauma, back injuries, and contusions requiring medical treatment.
The complaint alleges Shields has a "propensity for violence" and was "irritated, agitated and behaving erratically" during the confrontation. It seeks compensation for Roe's ongoing medical care, lost income, and punitive damages to deter similar conduct.
