Chris Brown: A History of Violence is a documentary that aired on Investigation Discovery at 9 pm on Sunday, October 27, 2024. It was a part of the network’s 'No Excuse for Abuse' campaign to help domestic violence survivors, and its release coincided with National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
The documentary is produced by Ample Entertainment in association with the global domestic violence initiative, No More. It chronicles the Grammy award-winning singer's decades-long pattern of abuse and criminal behavior that dates back to his late teens.
Brown was considered “the new Michael Jackson” when he made his music debut in 2005 at the age of 16. A few years later in 2009, he was charged with one count of felony assault for physically assaulting his then-girlfriend, the R&B singer Rihanna.

His accuser, whose identity is kept secret, details her ordeal in the documentary to “shed light on what really happened.” She emphasized the importance of speaking out by saying:
“Unless people start speaking up and people actually stop victim blaming the people that do speak up, then that’s the only way he can be stopped.”
