Chris Brown Faces $20 Million Lawsuit for Alleged Rape

Chris Brown is facing a $20 million lawsuit from a woman alleging that he raped her in 2020.

Court documents obtained by XXL today (Jan. 27) allege Brown drugged and raped an unnamed woman on Dec. 30, 2020. The assault allegedly happened on a yacht that was parked at Diddy‘s Star Island estate in Florida.

According to the lawsuit, Brown invited the Jane Doe over to Diddy’s house after overhearing her speaking on FaceTime with a friend who was with Brown. Brown claimed he knew that the Jane Doe was an artist and he had heard her music.

The lawsuit goes on to state that once she arrived, Chris offered her a drink in the kitchen on the yacht, which he later filled a second time. Two spoke on her music and Brown offered advice on how to navigate a career in the industry. The woman then began to experience “a sudden, unexplained change in consciousness,” and felt “disoriented, physically unstable, and started to fall in and out of sleep.”

The suit then alleges that Brown took her into a bedroom on the boat, shut the door behind them, took off the bottoms of her swimsuit and began kissing her, despite her attempting to tell him to stop. Chris then allegedly proceeded to rape her.

Once he finished, he sprang upward and verbally announced that he was “done.” The following day, on New Year’s Eve, Brown contacted her and insisted that she use Plan B in order to terminate any potential pregnancy, which she claims she did.

The woman’s attorneys Ariel Mitchell and George Vrabeck explained to TMZ that she was a medical student at the time and felt embarrassed of the situation, which is why she didn’t initially report the alleged rape to the police.

The lawsuit goes on to detail a few times throughout 2021 where Brown and the Jane Doe met again in person to work on music together. A visit to Brown’s house in California on Aug. 26, however, turned unpleasant yet again when Brown asked the woman if she wanted to go up to his bedroom. She declined and he turned aggressive, allegedly shouting in front of the people they were with that she  was a “slut” who “begged for his dick.”

He allegedly added that she “would never make it as an artist” because she wasn’t willing to do whatever it “takes.”

XXL has reached out to a rep for Chris Brown for comment.
