JURY AWARDS HOUSEKEEPER $13 MILLION IN DOG ATTACK CASE AGAINST CHRIS BROWN
A Los Angeles court has ruled in favor of Maria Avila, who was mauled by a dog at the singer's home in 2020.
A Los Angeles jury has decided that Chris Brown owes his former housekeeper Maria Avila a whopping $13 million in damages, according to Variety. The verdict came down Tuesday after a two-week trial that centered on a 2020 dog attack at Brown's home that left Avila with serious injuries and disfigurement. The case went strongly in Avila's favor, making this a major win for the housekeeper in her fight for justice.
The attack involved Hades, a dog on Brown's property, and the incident left lasting physical damage to Avila. This jury decision sends a clear message about responsibility and accountability when it comes to pets on celebrity properties — and the financial stakes can be steep. For Avila, the $13 million verdict represents recognition of the trauma and life-altering injuries she suffered during that fateful day at work.
