It was "Chris Brown: A history of violence" that established that he was a sex offender, writes Page six.

Brown is now suing the producers behind the film, the companies Warner Bros and Ample, for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress through slander. According to Brown, the documentary is based on a complaint that was dismissed because it was "full of lies" – and he emphasizes that he has tried to restore his reputation in recent years.

It was in 2022 that the woman accused Brown of having been drugged and subjected to sexual assault on a yacht at rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs' home in Florida on December 30, 2020. The case was dropped, as the plaintiff did not appear in court.

Chris Brown was sentenced to community service and five years' probation in 2009 for assaulting his colleague and then-girlfriend Rihanna.
