James Franco was sued on Monday for allegedly head-butting a photographer during a Lana Del Ray concert at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in 2014.

According to reports, the lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. In the lawsuit, David Tonnessen says he was taking pictures at the show when he saw James Franco “smiling rather demonically.”
