Chris Brown fined $13 million

Singer fled scene after pet dog mauled his housekeeper

US singer Chris Brown’s dog attacked his housekeeper, Maria Avila, in 2020.  The dog disfigured  her at his home in 2020. After a two-week trial in Los Angeles, the jury ruled in favour of Avila. The 90kg Caucasian Shepherd mauled Maria while she was emptying the garbage at his Tarzana home in California. The jury has ordered Brown and his company, Black Pyramid LLC, to pay $12.9 million (£9.7 million) in damages for negligence. Avila had alleged that the dog ripped off "large chunks of her skin", leaving her with permanent facial disfigurement, scarring, vision loss and nerve damage. 

During the trial, testimonies also claimed that Brown fled the scene after the attack instead of calling emergency services.
