Chris Brown Files $500 Million Suit Against Warner Bros. Over Sexual Assault Allegations in Doc

Written by on January 22, 2025

(Rolling Stone) – Chris Brown sued Warner Bros. Discovery for $500 million, accusing the company and its producers of making defamatory claims against him in Chris Brown: A History of Violence.

Released in October last year, the documentary looked back at the rapper’s long history of legal woes and accusations against Brown, including a claim from a Jane Doe who previously sued Brown for allegedly drugging and assaulting her during a 2020 yacht party hosted by now-disgraced mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

In the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by Rolling Stone, Warner Bros. Discovery and production company Ample Entertainment are accused of “promoting and publishing false information in their pursuit of likes, clicks, downloads and dollars and to the detriment” of Brown, despite “knowing that it was full of lies and deception and violating basic journalistic principles.”

“To put it simply, this case is about the media putting their own profits over the truth,” the suit, filed on Tuesday, claims. “They did so after being provided proof that their information was false, and their storytelling ‘Jane Doe’ had not only been discredited over and over but was in fact a perpetrator of intimate partners violence and aggressor herself,” the complaint alleged. “Mr. Brown has never been found guilty of any sex related crime…but this documentary states in every available fashion that he is a serial rapist and sexual abuser.”
