A man is suing Odell Beckham Jr. for $15 million in a claim that he was brutally beaten after arriving at the home of the Giants star in January, as reported by TMZ.

Ishmael Temple claims to be friends with Beckham and says Beckham's hired bodyguard, Charles Puryear, and another unidentified man (not Beckham) punched him in the back of the head and "stomped" him, according to TMZ.

Temple says he blacked out and woke up to kicks to his face, which resulted in a busted lip and two chipped front teeth that have cost $18,000 to fix, per the report. It also alleges Temple had an earring ripped out of his ear and his "knee got messed up."

Beckham did not order security to stop, according to Temple's claims.

The incident allegedly escalated from when Temple arrived and Puryear pointed a gun toward him and said "I bet you've never gotten shot before."

Temple says the trouble really started during an incident one week earlier when Beckham's security verbally assaulted him as he tried to retrieve his phone from the star's house, per the report.

Described as an event organizer, Temple claims Beckham's security resents him because "as a Hollywood social event organizer, (he) knew many of the female ladies present at Beckham's residence," according to TMZ.

Beckham, who has been at the center of multiple controversies in the last few weeks, finally broke his silence through his attorney Daniel Daviller in a statement put on social media by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The statement denied any wrongdoing on Beckham's part and said he will challenge all claims because it "amounts to a shakedown attempt."

"This is a clearly frivolous lawsuit," the statement reads. "We'll see him in court."

One area where Beckham and Temple appear to agree is that Beckham did not participate in any alleged beating or fight.

"Even though Mr. Temple agrees that Mr. Beckham was in no way involved in the physical altercation, neither as a participate or as an instigator, he nevertheless demanded money from Mr. Beckham and has now filed a meritless suit against him," the statement read.

Beckham's side of the story claims that Temple arrived at his home drunk and threatened other persons in attendance. A fight ensued, was diffused and Temple was escorted off the property, per the statement.

Beckham, the NFL and the Giants have not commented on the video that went viral two weeks ago, showing him in bed with a woman later identified as a French model and what appeared to be a blunt and a powdery white substance that could be cocaine. The woman denied Beckham used drugs.
