Chris Brown Sues Over Defamatory Docuseries, Seeks $500 Million in Damages

Chris Brown is taking legal action against the producers of Chris Brown: A History of Violence, accusing them of spreading lies about his past. The singer has filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. Discovery, Ample, and others behind the Investigation Discovery docuseries, claiming it defamed him despite evidence contradicting its narrative.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Brown alleges the series falsely labeled him a "serial rapist and sexual abuser," basing its claims on a lawsuit filed by a Jane Doe. The suit, however, was later withdrawn, with Brown asserting it was full of fabrications. He further noted that the Jane Doe has been discredited multiple times and emphasized that he has never been found guilty of any sex-related crimes.

The artist, who publicly acknowledged his 2009 assault on ex-girlfriend Rihanna, said he has spent years working to rebuild his reputation and grow from his past mistakes. He accuses the docuseries of intentionally recycling an outdated and harmful narrative for profit.

Brown claims the series has harmed his career, reputation, and business opportunities, prompting him to seek $500 million in damages. If awarded, he plans to donate part of the sum to victims of sexual abuse.

This lawsuit marks the latest chapter in Brown's battle to protect his name and legacy as he continues to navigate the fallout of past controversies. Neither Warner Bros. Discovery nor the producers of the series have commented on the lawsuit.
