Chris Brown is set to be the subject of a new documentary arriving next month, which will focus on allegations of violence against the superstar singer throughout his career.
The Hollywood Reporter announced on Monday (September 30) that Investigation Discovery’s Chris Brown: A History of Violence will premiere on October 27, kicking off the network’s third annual No Excuse For Abuse campaign.

In a trailer that was released, a woman says in a voiceover: “Chris Brown’s an amazing and talented musician, but let’s call a thing a thing. He’s an abuser of women. Consistently, unapologetically.”
While people have knowledge of his physical attack on Rihanna in 2009 — as well as alleged sexual assaults over the years — the doc claims to have another alleged victim ready to speak.

In a statement, the film’s producers said: “With expert and cultural commentary layered throughout, the documentary provides thoughtful reflections into each survivor’s experience and the psychological destruction in the aftermath of their abuse.”
Over the summer, Chris Brown and Yella Beezy were hit with a $50 million lawsuit for a fight that allegedly occurred at one of their shows.
TMZ reported that the pair along with Breezy’s entourage lieutenant Sinko Ceej and Live Nation are being sued by plaintiffs Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and Da Marcus Powell.
The four men claim they were invited backstage at Chris’s 11:11 Tour in Fort Worth, TX on July 20, along with 40 women. According to Bush’s version of events, he dapped Chris up and was having a positive interaction before one of the singer’s team members said, “Man you don’t remember you two were beefing?”
At that point, Bush says Chris replied, “Oh yeah, we were. What’s up, n-gga? I don’t forget shit” – and then ordered his crew to jump the visitor. Bush was then allegedly surrounded by seven to 10 people who proceeded to punch and kick him as well as throw a chair at his head.

Parker claims Chris then sent Yella Beezy for him and he also got punched and kicked.
All four men claim they suffered severe injuries and had to undergo various medical treatments. According to their attorney Tony Buzbee, at least one of them remained hospitalized at the time of the lawsuit on July 22.
