Chris Brown Files Court Documents To Protect Tour Royalties
Chris Brown recently filed documents to prevent his former housekeeper from receiving his tour royalties, according to TMZ. The ‘Residuals’ singer was ordered to pay Maria Avila $13 million last month after she won a lawsuit claiming his dog attacked her back in 2020.
Brown is reportedly asking the court to block Avila from collecting on her $13 million judgment against his tour royalties and future earnings. Avila is reportedly attempting to have dibs on all of Brown’s present and future income until the judgment is settled.
Not only that, Avila claims that Brown has made no effort to pay, which has led her to ask the court to intervene. However, Brown claims Avila’s attempt to collect from his present and future earnings is too broad. Brown began performing in ‘The R&B Tour’ with Usher in June, and the tour runs until mid-December.
Brown’s Dog Mauled Avila At His Home In 2020
Avila filed a lawsuit against Brown after his 200-pound shepherd, Hades, attacked her outside the ‘Loyal’ singer’s home in Tarzana, California.
Avila says she was taking out the trash when Brown’s dog attacked her. According to Rolling Stone, she told the court during the trial that she suffered from PTSD. Not only that, she reportedly has severe scarring on her left arm and face. Furthermore, Avila had skin-graft surgery on her left arm. Nonetheless, she was left with raised and pitted skin, scars on her forehead and under her eye.
Brown testified he’d warned Avila not to go outside without his security guards because Hades was a guard dog. Furthermore, he warned that he was unfriendly. He also described seeing Avila lying outside his front door on the walkway bloodied.
“The blood kind of freaked me out,” he recalled.
Fans Think Brown Reacted To Avila’s Court Request
On Wednesday, July 29, Brown shared a post in his Instagram Stories that fans believe was a response to Avila’s claim. “Life gonna always push and pull you in different directions,” he wrote. “JUST REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE! Trust the process.” His dog Hades was reportedly euthanized following the attack.
