Ultimately, on October 27, 2024, they aired ‘Chris Brown: A History of Violence’ (the ‘Documentary’), knowing that it was full of lies and deception and violating basic journalist principles."
It further rebuked the allegations made by Jane Doe in the docuseries, saying that it had been "discredited over and over" and that she was "a perpetrator of intimate partner violence and aggressor herself."
Warner Brothers has not yet responded to the lawsuit.
