In October 2024, Warner Bros’ true-crime network Investigation Discovery (ID) announced Chris Brown: A History of Violence, a docuseries under its ongoing ‘No Excuse for Abuse’ campaign. However, the R&B star has now filed a $500 million defamation lawsuit against Warner Bros, Discovery, Ample Entertainment, and individuals behind the project, accusing them of spreading falsehoods.

According to court documents, Brown claims the series is “spiked with a bunch of lies” and falsely portrays him as “a serial rapist and a sexual abuser.” The singer insists that allegations made by Jane Doe, featured in the documentary, “have been repeatedly discredited” and emphasizes that he has “never been found guilty of any sex-related crime.”

Brown argues that the series largely focuses on claims from a lawsuit Jane Doe previously filed but later withdrew, citing a lack of credibility. He feels the documentary undermines his decade-long efforts to rebuild his reputation after his 2009 arrest for assaulting Rihanna. Brown asserts that the producers are using him “for a breakout chance at fame” and insists he has already “owned up to his past mistakes.”

Seeking $500 million in damages, Brown has pledged to donate part of the funds to victims of sexual abuse. The documentary, released on October 27, 2024, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, aims to explore his troubled past and its impact on his public image.
