Chris Brown accused of raping a woman in new documentary

In a new documentary titled Chris Brown: A History of Violence, several women have accused the R&B singer of abuse and sexual assault. A woman, identified only as Jane Doe, claims Brown raped her in 2020.

Doe claims in the documentary that she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a dance career and later travelled to Miami with a friend in December 2020. She recalls being invited to Sean "Diddy" Combs' yacht on December 30, where she met Brown.

At the time, she believed meeting him might help her career but events quickly took a darker turn. According to Doe, Brown allegedly offered her drinks and she began feeling drowsy and unable to move. She alleges that Brown then took her to a bedroom and raped her.

“We had talked, and he had handed me a drink. I'm not even sure... this is when my memory starts getting a little bit weird," she claims. "I don't remember if I saw him pour it, but I just drank it and he just hands me another drink. As I'm standing there, I did start to feel tired and my body was feeling a little heavy."

"I remember I did lay back and I'm like, 'Why can't I get up?' Next thing I know he was on top of me and I couldn’t move and I said 'No' and then I felt him… next thing I knew he was inside me," Doe, in tears, alleges, claiming that he ejaculated inside her. "I was so disgusted."

After the alleged incident, Doe says she kept in contact with Brown, hoping to make sense of what happened. Eventually, therapy helped her recognise the experience as sexual assault. Doe initially pursued legal action but her case was dismissed in 2022 due to "lack of prosecution" after police found text exchanges between her and Brown.

Another woman, Liziane Gutierrez, shares an alleged encounter with Brown in 2016 in Las Vegas. Gutierrez claims Brown punched her in the face after she attempted to take a picture of him. Brown’s security allegedly seized her phone and escorted her from the party. Although she acknowledges taking a photo without permission wasn’t ideal, she says, "That doesn’t give you the right to punch me in the face." Gutierrez later sued Brown and the case was settled privately in 2017.

Chris Brown: A History of Violence also examines Brown's troubled past, including well-known incidents with his ex-girlfriends Rihanna and Karrueche Tran. In 2009, he was charged with assaulting Rihanna and later sentenced to probation and community service. In 2017, Tran was granted a restraining order against him.
