Chris Brown filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros last year, accusing the media giant of defamation relating to a documentary about him.
The film, titled Chris Brown: A History of Violence, featured numerous allegations of sexual assault and generalized violence against the controversial R&B star.
In his suit, Brown claimed he was being defamed due to the comments made in the film by a woman who previously had a sexual assault case against the singer thrown out due to her claims being false.
Now, in response to the lawsuit, Warner Bros have sought to dismiss the filing and brought up various controversial moments from Brown’s past.

In the legal docs, the entertainment giant submitted a number of news articles regarding Brown and his many brushes with the law.
Some of the articles detailed Brown’s arrest for domestic violence after he assaulted his then girlfriend Rihanna in February 2009.
Brown would plead guilty to felony assault and as part of a deal struck with prosecutors, avoided jail time.
Other articles highlighted a restraining order taken out by Karrueche Tran against Brown in 2017 after he left threatening messages and calls on her phone.

A lawyer for Warner Bros and the documentary’s producers also says in a statement: “All of these exhibits consist of news articles, or other media, published online about the work at issue in this case and its subject matter, namely the Documentary and the widely publicized reporting of Chris Brown’s criminal history and violence towards women, and are being introduced to demonstrate that the Complaint arises from acts in furtherance of Defendants’ free speech rights.”
Brown has yet to comment on the response to his suit and a judge is yet to rule if it can continue.
The “With You” singer initially accused Warner Bros and the producers of the documentary of “promoting and publishing false information in their pursuit of likes, clicks, downloads and dollars and to [his] detriment.”
He also claimed the film was released despite the producers “knowing that it was full of lies and deception,” and featured the participation of a woman who had previously made discredited claims of sexual assault against him.
