Chris Brown's Ex Housekeeper Accuses Him Of Evading Deposition In $90 Million Lawsuit

Chris Brown's housekeeper has loads of scores to settle with her former boss, who could dig deep into his purse.

The R&B singer's housekeeper accused him of failing to show up for deposition in the $90 million lawsuit over a dog attack at his LA home.

Chris Brown was dragged to court by Maria Avila in 2021 over the December 12, 2020, attack involving her and Hades, Brown's dog.

The housekeeper demanded the court provide a date for a hearing to address several loopholes in the case. According to her, she wants to depose the singer and a representative for his company, Black Pyramid LLC, but they have both declined to produce witnesses for the process.

Maria's legal team continued that she had tried to fix a date for Brown's deposition for over a year. They have reached out to the singer six times in February and March, but they have never received a favorable response.

Avila detailed the incident in her lawsuit, claiming that she was working with her sister Patricia Avila in Brown's LA home when she was attacked by his large Caucasian Orvchake/Caucasian Shepherd dog.

In Touch reported that the attack happened while she was disposing of the trash, and it resulted in the loss of skin chunks, which the dog bit off. The housekeeper tendered pictorial evidence of her injuries alongside her demand for $90 million in damages.

Patricia also filed her own lawsuit demanding compensation for the emotional distress she suffered from witnessing the attack on her sister.

However, Brown denied all the allegations and flipped the script on Maria. His legal team argued that Maria had invited the injuries she had complained about.

They continued that she "assumed the risk of them with full knowledge of the magnitude of that risk, in that she knew her foregoing conduct might cause the dog to attack her and seriously injure her, both of which events are alleged to have occurred."

Brown's attorneys continued that Maria's misconduct prompted the attack "in that she willfully and voluntarily teased, abused, or mistreated the dog and thereby provoked the attack."

Maria noted that her attorneys were not present for the alleged deposition Brown sat for with Patricia in 2023. She then demanded a chance to depose Chris herself.

Maria continued in her lawsuit that Brown's lawyer had failed to provide her with more witnesses to interview about the facts of the case.

The plaintiff claimed Brown was careless in ensuring that the dogs did not hurt anyone, despite knowing that they had an alleged history of being vicious towards people. The housekeeper's lawsuit further read:

"[Maria] is informed and believes that this was not the first instance in which the defendant's dog Hades viciously bit, attacked, mauled, and injured a human being, and that the defendants were aware of this dog's prior dangerous attacks, biting, killer instinct and aggressive proclivities."

Maria's lawyers also accused Chris of not duly registering the dog with the appropriate licensing agency and stated that Hades did not have a current license.

It is surely raining lawsuits for the award-winning singer this year. In July, The Blast reported that he was slammed with a $50 million lawsuit for participating in and directing an assault on four attendees of his concert.

The incident allegedly happened at one of his "11:11" tour concerts in Fort Worth, Texas, when he invited Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell backstage.

Things soon got heated as Brown's team reminded him of a previous showdown between him and Bush, prompting Brown to yell, "Oh yeah, we were. What's up, n-gga? I don't forget sh-t.' The "No Air" singer and his entourage reportedly launched a full-on attack and threw chairs at the four fans.

The plaintiff explained in the lawsuit that Brown was active in directing the violence, and he, alongside 7 to 10 members of his crew, allegedly pursued Bsuh into a hallway and continued to beat him and his friends up.

Brown got into a similar tussle at a London nightclub last year, which saw the alleged victim, Amadou Abe Diaw, seek $16 million in damages.

According to court documents from the filing, the new sum was a significant increase from a previous demand. It was fueled by Brown's failure to respond to the first lawsuit within the stipulated time frame, leading the plaintiff to file an entry of default.

Due to the new development, Diaw requested $1 million in special damages and $15 million in general damages. The alleged victim accused the star of smashing a bottle of Don Julio 1942 Tequila over his head and then furiously stomping on him.

Diaw claimed he suffered head lacerations and torn leg ligaments from the encounter, which left him hospitalized. The incident allegedly occurred in the early hours of February 19, 2023, while the singer was on his "Under The Influence" tour.
