Brown's Dog-Bite Trial: Rihanna's Past at Stake?
About this episode
Chris Browns past felony assault on Rihanna is at risk of resurfacing in his upcoming dog-bite trial, as housekeeper Maria Avila may use it to counter claims of his nonviolent nature. Avila, who was mauled by Browns dog in 2020, argues that evidence of the past assault could be relevant if Browns side downplays her fear from the dog attack. Brown, however, maintains that he responded promptly and appropriately to the incident. The motions to keep certain evidence out will be argued on June 5th, determining whether the Rihanna past will remain buried or make an appearance in court.

Music News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Brown's Dog-Bite Trial: Rihanna's Past at Stake?. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 28th, Chris Brown is pushing a Los Angeles judge to block any talk of his 2009 felony assault on Rihanna during his upcoming dog by trial. The housekeeper suing him, Maria Vila, fired back in court papers, calling his request too broad and saying she might need it to counter any claims. He's non-violent. That old case happened right before the Grammys when Brown attacked Rihanna in a car, punching and choking her before pleading guilty and getting probation. Now, with the trial set for June 15th, Abola argues evidence like that could come up at Brown's side downplays her fear from the dog attack. Vila claims Brown's security dog mauled her face and arm on December 12th, 2020, while she took out trash at his Tarzanah home, leaving, her with permanent scars, nerve damage and vision loss. She says Brown just stood there on his phone and bounced even as she bled out. Brown says he rushed down after hearing the dog growl, checked her breathing, secured
the dogs and called for help before leaving with his manager. Once paramedics arrived, her sister backs her up, describing the bloody scene. Motions that keep certain evidence out get argued, June 5th. So we'll see if the Rihanna pass stays buried or hits the courtroom as this long fight. Finally, heads to trial. That's the story for today. Music news today, driven by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
