Chris Brown fears for his safety and that of his family. Amid a fierce legal battle with his former housekeeper, the singer rushed to court with a request to prevent his testimony from being made public, fearing the consequences it could have on his loved ones.

Brown has been fighting a $90 million lawsuit in damages for years from his former housekeeper, Maria Avila. According to the lawsuit, Avila was attacked by Hades, a Caucasian Shepherd, while working at Brown’s Los Angeles home on December 12, 2020.

Avila claims the dog mauled her face and arms and is seeking damages for the alleged injuries, including disfigurement. Brown and his legal team denied the allegations of wrongdoing and asserted that Maria’s injuries were the result of his mistreatment, abuse, and teasing of the dog.

Chris Brown’s petition

After a protracted legal back-and-forth, Brown was forced by a judge to testify at Avila’s attorney’s office. The musician requested a protective order to prevent the publication of his deposition, but Maria’s attorney denied the request.

Brown’s legal team was able to avoid questions about his Social Security number and the names of his relatives, but his Los Angeles address and his mother’s name were noted in the testimony. After that, the singer’s attorneys filed an emergency motion requesting the protective order.

Brown’s attorney considered Avila’s refusal to keep the singer’s testimony “within the bounds of this lawsuit, worrisome.” He noted that Brown has had problems with people trespassing on his property, putting his family at risk.

Chris Brown’s home invasion

“Mr. Brown has historically had issues with intruders and trespassers on his property, a property at which not only he but also his minor children and other family members spend time,” the attorney argued in the request.

He recalled that once, “after having returned from a tour, Mr. Brown came home to a stranger who had broken into and was living in his house.” This is why they requested protection for the interpreter’s testimony, but the judge has yet to rule on the request.
