Pop-R&B singer Chris Brown is suing Warner Bros. Discovery for defamation over claims within the 2024 documentary “Chris Brown: A History of Violence.”
Brown’s lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeks $500 million from Warner Bros. Discovery and manufacturing firm Ample Entertainment. In the lawsuit, Brown accuses the businesses of “selling and publishing false data… realizing it to be full of lies and deception and violating elementary journalistic rules.”
“Mr. Brown has by no means been discovered responsible of any sex-related crimes,” the lawsuit continues, “however this documentary asserts in each out there method that he’s a serial rapist and sexual abuser.”
Representatives for Warner Bros. Discovery and Ample didn’t instantly reply to requests for remark.
“Chris Brown: A History of Violence” consists of an indictment from Jane Doe (additionally named as a defendant within the lawsuit) who sued Brown for allegedly drugging and assaulting a celebration hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2020.
In response, Brown’s lawsuit consists of photographs of what her workforce claims is a restraining order towards Jane Doe in 2021, from an ex-boyfriend alleging home violence and harassment. They beforehand described her claims about Diddy’s occasion as “frivolous.”
Brown’s recording profession has been marred by violent incidents, most just lately final 12 months when a safety guard sued him for an alleged backstage assault in Fort Worth, Texas. In 2009, Brown pleaded responsible to assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna for a broadly publicized incident shortly earlier than the Grammys. In 2016, he was arrested after a weird confrontation with police at his Los Angeles dwelling.
