A Los Angeles jury has ordered Chris Brown to pay $12.9 million after his former housekeeper, Maria Avila, told a court she believed she was 'going to die' when the singer's dog mauled her at his Tarzana home in December 2020.
The verdict, delivered after a two-week civil trial, found Brown and his company, Black Pyramid LLC, liable for negligence following an attack that left Avila with severe facial injuries, permanent nerve damage and post-traumatic stress.
