Chris Brown has taken major legal action against Warner Bros after a documentary claimed he was a “serial rapist and a sexual abuser.”
In the defamation lawsuit, the musician is demanding £500 million.
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, calls for a jury trial and a thorough investigation into the docuseries Chris Brown: A History of Violence.
“To put it simply, this case is about the media putting their own profits over the truth. Since the beginning of October 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, to the detriment of Chris Brown,” the suit read.
The statement further added, “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 journalistic principles.”
According to Deadline, the lawsuit stated that “Mr. Brown has never been found guilty of any sex-related crime (rape, sexual battery, sexual assault, etc.), but this documentary states in every available fashion that he is a serial rapist and sexual abuser.”
Additionally, Chris plans to donate a portion of the $500 million in damages to the “survivors of sexual abuse.”
