Chris Brown Suing Warner Bros. Over History of Violence Documentary

Chris Brown takes legal action.

Three months after the release of the documentary Chris Brown: A History of Violencethe musician filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of Los Angeles January 21 against Ample LLC, Warner Bros. and producers involved in the production of the film, in response to her “defamatory documentary”.

“Despite being informed of the false and misleading narrative accusing Mr. Brown of the heinous acts, including sexual assault and tampering with evidence,” read a January 21 statement Brown posted on Instagram“accusations that were discredited in court and dismissed as unfounded – the defendants released the documentary on October 27, 2024 without regard for Mr. Brown, prioritizing profits over journalistic integrity.”

E! News has Warner Bros. and Ample reached out, but has not heard back.

In the film, an accuser is named as Jane Doe claimed the R&B star drugged and raped her in 2020. And after she sued him for $20 million dollars in 2022, the claims, according to the lawsuit obtained by E!, were “discredited, rejected by the courts, or outright fabricated.”
