Singer Chris Brown is suing Warner Bros. for $500 million over sexual assault allegations posed in its Investigation Discovery docuseries “Chris Brown: A History of Violence.”
In the lawsuit obtained by Variety, Brown accuses 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 “A History of Violence.” He also alleges that the evidence provided to substantiate their claims is completely false.
“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.”
