The Virginia superstar filed a $500 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. after its Investigation Discovery docuseries titled “Chris Brown: A History of Violence.”

Chris Brown slapped Warner Bros. with a $500M defamation lawsuit over false sexual assault allegations in a docuseries
Chris Brown sues Warner Bros. for $500M after docuseries labels him ‘a serial rapist and a sexual abuser’
On Tuesday (January 21), the Grammy Award-winning R&B singer, songwriter and entertainer accused the producers behind the docuseries, which includes Warner Bros. and Ample, of libel and intentional infliction of emotional distress through defamatory claims made against him.
In the lawsuit obtained by Variety, Breezy accused the producers of basing their series on a Jane Doe lawsuit, which the suit claims was previously dismissed “because it was full of lies.”
“To put it simply, this case is about the media putting their own profits over the truth,” the lawsuit reads. “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.”
Chris Brown alleged that Warner Bros., Ample and the unidentified female produced the docuseries in hopes of defaming him after he spent years repairing his reputation.
The suit acknowledges the “Superhero” singer has made mistakes in the past, but has since “grown from those experiences, and his evolution speaks for itself.”
Since the docuseries was released in October 2024, Brown alleged his reputation and career have suffered.
The “Under the Influencer” singer pledged to donate a portion of the $500 million he’s seeking to sexual abuse victims if awarded.
