New Chris Brown documentary on the way: Here’s what we know
According to ID, Chris Brown: A History of Violence will be part of the network’s third annual ‘No Excuse for Abuse’ campaign.
The documentary will delve into Brown’s troubled past, from his childhood to his numerous legal and domestic violence issues, including the 2009 assault on his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
This assault left Rihanna with severe facial injuries and led to Brown pleading guilty to felony assault.
The film will also examine Brown’s other legal issues over the years, such as separate assault charges and a sexual assault lawsuit that was settled out of court.
The documentary aims to explore how Brown has maintained his superstar status despite his public record of violent behaviour.
A notable aspect of this documentary is the appearance of a new, unidentified accuser who claims to have experienced abuse at the hands of Brown.
The accuser stated in the trailer:
“I have not spoken about this matter publicly, but that’s the only way he can be stopped.”
This fresh allegation promises to add another layer to the already complex narrative surrounding Chris Brown.
Immediately following the documentary’s airing on 27 October 2024 at 21:00 EST (03:00 SAST on 28 October 2024), The View co-host Sunny Hostin will lead a discussion about intimate partner violence.
Hostin expressed:
“Domestic violence is a very close, personal issue to me as I reflect on my past as a prosecutor of these types of cases, and in my role as a mother and public figure whose actions inform and help shape the next generation.”
Chris Brown set to perform in South Africa
Despite the looming release of this documentary, Chris Brown is set to make a long-awaited return to South Africa as part of his world tour. His “Live in Johannesburg, Breezy in South Africa” concert will take place at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday, 14 December 2024.
