Sources also claim that he owed the woman money. Rockwell, who is the son of Motown mogul Berry Gordy and Margaret Norton, was staying at the Magic Castle Hotel.

The hotel is located in Hollywood next door to the famous Magic Castle private nightclub. The woman approached Rockwell about payment of the money he owed her in the evening of November 29.

According to witnesses, he became irate and attacked her with a chair. The woman suffered severe injuries including a broken arm as a result of the attack.

The 54-year-old singer was arrested and spent a few nights in jail. He was released on the morning of December 1.

The woman was forced to undergo one surgery and is due for another. She reportedly needs to go under the knife to repair the extensive damage to her arm.

On January 7, she filed a lawsuit against Rockwell in Los Angeles. She is suing the singer for personal injury and is claiming her damages exceed $25,000.
