Warner Bros. is now staring at a $500 million lawsuit from Chris Brown for sexual assault allegations used in its Investigation Discovery docuseries Chris Brown: A History of Violence.
Spotted on Variety, Brown is fed up with his image being tarnished and is taking legal action against Warner Bros. and Ample, accusing the two companies of “libel and intentional infliction of emotional distress through defamatory claims made against him in A History of Violence.”
The “Look At Me Now” crafter claims that the evidence used in the docuseries to substantiate the docuseries claims is false.
Per Variety:
“To put it simply, this case is about the media putting their own profits over the truth,” the lawsuit reads. “Since the beginning of October of 2024, Ample LLC and Warner Brothers were put on notice that they were promoting and publishing false information in their pursuit of likes, clicks, downloads and dollars and to the detriment of Chris Brown. Ultimately, on October 27, 2024, they aired ‘Chris Brown: A History of Violence’ (the ‘Documentary’), knowing that it was full of lies and deception and violating basic journalist principles.”
Brown’s lawsuit also says that “Jane Doe’s” claims that the docuseries uses as evidence have been “discredited over and over” and that the alleged victim was “a perpetrator of intimate partner violence and aggressor herself.”
The lawsuit also states that Chris Brown knows he made “mistakes” and that they were “publicly acknowledged and addressed by him in his 2017 documentary, ‘Chris Brown: Welcome To My Life.”
The mistake in question was physically assaulting the biggest pop star on the planet and his former flame, Rihanna. Brown was also hit with a restraining order from another ex-girlfriend, Karrueche.
We shall see how this lawsuit pans out.
