The identification document gives a graphic account of Brown’s assault on Rihanna while he was driving a sports car and she was in the passenger seat. “He’s driving, he hits her left eye with his right fist, and he hits her with his left hand, and it goes on for blocks,” says retired Los Angeles Police sergeant and author Cheryl Dorsey at one point in the documentary.

In True Crime ID, Jane Doe also talks about being in Miami in 2020 and attending a party on Star Island on Diddy’s yacht. She says she spotted Brown on board and they struck up a conversation about her fledgling dance career in Los Angeles.

Jane Doe recalls that Brown gave her a drink, and then another. She soon felt sleepy and eventually found herself in the bedroom with Brown. “I remember lying down and thinking, ‘Why can’t I get up?’ “The next thing I knew he was on top of me and I couldn’t move, I said no and then I felt him… the next thing I knew he was inside me,” she said, maintaining that rape had occurred.

This was confirmed by Jane Doe’s lawyer, Ariel Mitchell Hollywood reporter that she is representing her again after she withdrew from the lawsuit in 2022 after text messages sent by her client to Brown came to light after Jane Doe denied their existence. Mitchell says the text messages do not cast doubt on Jane Doe’s allegations against Brown. “I stand by her then and now. There was therefore no question of the truthfulness of her claims. She simply neglected to provide us with all the evidence we requested,” Mitchell said when reached on Monday.

When contacted by Diddy’s legal representative, he denied the allegations regarding their client THR.

Jane Doe is not alone when it comes to alleged attacks from the R&B singer. The doctor recalled that in 2017, another girl, Karrueche Tran, was granted a restraining order after she testified in a court filing that Brown “punched me twice in the stomach,” threatened friends and “pushed me downstairs.” .

Brown denied any wrongdoing at the time, including incidents involving Tran in 2015. Another alleged victim, Liziane Gutierrez, told a medical examiner in 2016 that she was backstage at Brown’s concert and was invited to a party the music idol was hosting. pop organized in the hotel.

Before entering the private event, Guiterrez was asked to hand over her cell phone and instead put the device in her pocket. “When I first saw Chris Brown at the party, he was acting weird. Extremely strange. And then I decided to grab my phone and take a photo of it,” she says in the documentary.

But when Brown saw her taking a photo, he walked up and allegedly punched her in the face. “His security grabbed my phone and I was escorted out of the party. I’m not saying what I did with the phone was right. I know it. But that doesn’t give you the right to punch me in the face. Just throw me out of the party,’” Gutierrez said.

She filed a report with the Las Vegas Police Department, which decided not to press charges. Brown’s attorney denied the allegations about Gutierrez in the identification document and said in a statement that he “never raised a hand to her.” THR received no comments from Gutierrez’s legal representatives.

When ID producers contacted Brown and his representatives about the claims made in the show, the singer’s lawyer stated that the allegations made in the show were “malicious and false.”

View co-host Sunny Hostin, a former federal prosecutor, led a post-show discussion on domestic violence that aired after the documentary on Sunday evening. Previously, Hostin said THR I want viewers who watched the Chris Brown: A History of Violence documentary on Sunday night to learn that intimate partner violence has no limits.

When I’m also talking THR last week, ID president Jason Sarlanis said Brown’s documentary will also help launch ID’s third yearbook “No excuses for abuse” campaign.aims to “normalize survival.”

Sarlanis argued that the document highlighted barriers in the justice system that prevented domestic violence from being curbed. “Our legal system is systematically and institutionally structured to make it very difficult for survivors to obtain justice at a time when they are primed and ready to seek it,” said the head of the true crime network THR. “The statute of limitations for domestic violence is painfully short and is very often part of the way in which perpetrators abuse their victims through gaslighting and coercive control, to the point that many victims do not even admit to domestic violence until after the deadline has passed. the statute of limitations has expired.”
