Chris Brown Ordered to Pay Nearly $13 Million After Former Housekeeper Dog Attack
Singer Chris Brown has been ordered by a Los Angeles jury to pay nearly $13 million in damages to his former housekeeper, Maria Avila, following a 2020 dog attack at his Tarzana home. Avila suffered severe injuries and permanent disfigurement from the attack by Brown's 90kg Caucasian shepherd, Hades. Brown and his company were found negligent. Avila's sister and husband also received compensation. Brown stated he warned the sisters about the dogs, a claim they dispute due to language barriers.
