Chris Brown ordered to pay housekeeper $13 million after dog attack
A California jury ordered singer Chris Brown to pay $12.9 million in damages to Maria Avila, a housekeeper mauled by his 200-pound Caucasian shepherd dog in 2020. Avila's sister and husband also received compensation for emotional distress. Brown testified the dog was for security, not a personal pet, and claimed he left the scene before paramedics arrived due to celebrity concerns.
