Chris Brown Files $500M Defamation Suit Against Warner Bros.

The singer alleges a documentary falsely portrayed him as a serial rapist and abuser, citing discredited claims and reputational harm.

Chris Brown is suing Warner Bros., Ample Entertainment, and others for $500 million, alleging defamation and emotional distress caused by the documentary 'Chris Brown: A History of Violence.'
The lawsuit claims the documentary includes false and discredited allegations, particularly from a woman identified as Jane Doe, whose 2022 lawsuit against Brown was dismissed.
Brown's legal team argues the production prioritized profits over journalistic integrity and ignored evidence disproving the claims presented in the documentary.
The singer acknowledges past legal troubles, including the 2009 assault of Rihanna, but asserts he has worked to rebuild his reputation over the past decade.
Brown pledges to donate a portion of any awarded damages to survivors of sexual abuse, while Warner Bros. has yet to publicly comment on the lawsuit.
