Chris Brown
The story so far
A Los Angeles jury awarded his former housekeeper Maria Avila $12.9 million after his dog Hades mauled her in 2020, leaving permanent facial injuries; Brown has now filed for a new trial, with a hearing set for September 22, while Avila's team pursues his tour profits to collect regardless. He's currently performing on 'The R&B Tour' with Usher. Watch for the September hearing outcome and whether Avila's collection efforts move forward before then.
