Chris Brown is suing Warner Brothers for $500 million over a docuseries titled: Chris Brown: A History of Violence.
Brown accused the producers of libel and intentional infliction of emotional distress, as he said the docuseries made defamatory claims against him.
He claimed the evidence provided was completely false, noting that the media prioritised profits over truth.
Brown’s team noted that it had notified Warner Bros. and Ample LLC of false information in October 2024, adding that the docuseries aired on October 27, 2024.
The Investigation Discovery documentary is a compilation of many claims made against Brown over the years, strung together to create a picture of a violent man whom the entertainment industry has granted a pass.
Brown has denied many of the allegations against him and has never been found guilty for any sex-related crime.
In the lawsuit, Brown acknowledged his past mistakes but noted that he had grown from them.
Brown sued not only the producers, but also one of the subjects of the documentary, in a complaint filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Lawyers for Brown accused the architects of the documentary of knowing the narrative they laid out was false but proceeding anyway as a money grab, according to the court documents.
“The defendants completely disregarded the facts in an attempt for fame and fortune −all at the cost of Chris Brown and the reputation he has worked diligently in redeeming over the last decade,” the filing says.
The documentary, which aired on Investigation Discovery October 27, includes an account of violence from a Jane Doe who sued Brown in 2022 for sexual assault.
The woman, whom Brown’s legal team names in the filing, alleges Brown drugged and raped her on music mogul Sean Combs aka Diddy’s Miami Beach-based yacht.
Combs now faces his own legal minefield after a suit from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura unleashed a torrent of other claims from alleged victims who are accusing the rapper of rape.
