Singer Chris Brown has reportedly sued the studio, Warner Bros, for a whopping 500 million dollars after the studio-backed docuseries on the singer claimed that he had sexually harassed people.
The docuseries, Chris Brown: A History of Violence, consists of multiple people coming forward with claims that Brown harassed them.
The lawsuit obtained by Variety reads, "To put it simply, this case is about the media putting their own profits over the truth. 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.”
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the documentary told Variety, "We stand behind the production and will vigorously defend ourselves against this lawsuit.”
Chris Brown has had many chart-topping singles over the years, but apart from the success, what has followed him are his legal issues. Brown's legal issues date back to 2009 when he was first accused and arrested for allegedly assaulting his former partner and singer Rihanna. Brown had pleaded guilty to felony assault at the time.
