Chris Brown has been ordered to pay nearly $13 million (£9.7 million) in damages after a jury ruled in favour of a housekeeper who suffered life-changing injuries in a brutal dog attack at one of the singer's California homes.
The verdict concludes a legal battle that began after Maria Avila was attacked by Brown's Caucasian shepherd, Hades, while working at his Tarzana property in 2020. The R&B star admitted negligence during the trial but disputed the extent of her injuries and maintained that she had been warned about the dangerous guard dog.
