Chris Brown was reportedly found liable by a jury to pay a housekeeper $13 million after her dog attacked her.
On Tuesday (June 30), Billboard broke the news that Breezy had been ordered to pay victim Maria Avila $12.9 million for negligent conduct. In addition, Brown must pay more than $885,000 to the victim’s sister, Patricia Avila, for emotional distress and another $50,000 to Maria’s husband, Oscar Olivo. Patricia was present on the day her sister was beaten, and Oscar claimed Maria’s injuries caused intimacy issues.
Avila sued Chris in April 2021, claiming that she was bitten by the singer’s 200-pound Caucasian Shepherd while taking out the trash at Chris’ California home in 2020. She suffered lifelong scarring and physical damage as a result of the incident.
Maria is reportedly seeking $90 million in damages. During the trial, Chris reportedly testified that he warned Maria and her sister that the dogs were not friendly and that they should not be outside unless accompanied by a member of his security team. The verdict came two weeks after the first trial ended in a mistrial due to juror misconduct.
