Chris Brown has asked the court to order Warner Bros to pay him $500 million in damages after the company released a film bearing his name and focusing on allegations of violence reportedly committed by him over time.
His lawsuit is based on the documentary Chris Brown: A History of Violence. Chris Brown claims that Warner Bros was responsible for producing and releasing the film, which premiered in October 2024.
The documentary allegedly depicts him as someone who abuses women, based on an accusation made by a woman who once accused him of assault—a case that was ultimately dismissed as the allegations were proven false.
Over the years, Chris Brown has frequently faced allegations of violence against women, controversies that have been rumored to negatively affect his career. For instance, his concerts in South Africa were recently canceled over similar accusations.
