Breezy Sues Warner Bros. Over Documentary Allegations
Chris Brown has filed a $500 million defamation lawsuit against Warner Bros. and others over rape claims made against him in the documentary Chris Brown: A History of Violence.
The documentary, which premiered in October 2024, featured testimony from an unknown woman who claims the singer raped her on Diddy‘s boat in 2020. The allegations were previously put forth in a $20 million lawsuit, but that was dismissed without prejudice when evidence emerged that the story had been fabricated.
In his lawsuit filed on Tuesday (January 21), Brown accuses Warner Bros. and production company Ample Entertainment of “promoting and publishing false information in their pursuit of likes, clicks, downloads and dollars and to [his] detriment.”
He also claims the film was released despite the producers “knowing that it was full of lies and deception.”
The suit states: “This case is about the media putting their own profits over the truth. 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 partner violence and aggressor herself.”
“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.”
Chris Brown is seeking $500 million in damages. Warner Bros. and Ample Entertainment have yet to respond to the lawsuit.
