Judge Dismisses Chris Brown’s $500 Million Defamation Suit Over ID Docuseries

The judge deemed the ID docuseries a fair, true report of judicial records.

Overview

  • The court said it personally reviewed the entire documentary and found it recounted the inconsistencies Brown raised, including referenced text messages tied to a 2020 allegation.
  • The order concluded the filmmakers offered a fair and true account of the accuser’s statements as well as the judicial record and proceedings.
  • The ruling rejected Brown’s claim over commentary by writer Scaachi Koul, noting Brown had previously admitted to punching Rihanna.
  • Brown sued Warner Bros. Discovery and Ample Entertainment over the 2024 Investigation Discovery series that examined allegations of abuse and sexual misconduct.
  • Brown had not publicly responded to the decision at publication time and retains the option to appeal.
