What did Chris Brown do? Investigating the allegations as a woman speaks out about the incident on Sean “Diddy” Combs' yacht in a new documentary

Trigger Warning: The article contains references to rape and abuse.

In an effort to expose the dark side of show business through bombastic documentaries, ID releases “Chris Brown: A History of Violence,” in which several women recount their alleged experiences with the R&B singer. Among them is Jane Doe, who claims Brown raped her in 2020. His lawyers deny the allegations made on the show.

Doe says in the documentary that the alleged incident occurred in 2020, when she had just moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a dancer. In December of that year, she took a trip to Miami, where she received a call from someone she knew inviting her to a yacht party hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs.

When she arrived at the party, Doe realized Brown, 35, was there and thought it might be a “sign” that he could “maybe help me, guide me or give me some advice,” she claims. “We talked and he gave me something to drink.” Doe's account follows a familiar pattern regarding the addition of drinks. She mentions in the documentary that her memory began to blur after she took the drink from Brown.

According to People, Doe says she can't remember if she saw him pour it, but she drank it anyway and then accepted a second drink, which left her feeling tired and her body feeling heavy.

In the documentary, Brown's lawyers called Doe's claims fabricated, the outlet reports.

Doe claims Brown then took her to a bedroom where she lay back and couldn't move. “The next thing I knew, he was on top of me,” she says with tears in her eyes, adding that she said “no” but it fell on deaf ears as Brown continued his actions. Doe claims the “Look at Me Now” hitmaker ejaculated inside her. “I was so disgusted,” she says.

After the alleged incident, Doe noted in the documentary that she continued to communicate with Brown to provide clarity. However, it was only in therapy that she identified the act as rape.

According to People, a legal team approached her about starting a case, but a judge ultimately dismissed the effort in 2022, saying there was “no prosecution.” She was subsequently dropped by her lawyers, largely because of the aforementioned text exchange between her and Brown.

However, one of Doe's lawyers, Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, is representing her again. In a statement to People, Mitchell-Kidd said she 100% believes what her client claims.

Elsewhere in the documentary, another woman named Liziane Gutierrez recounts an alleged experience with Brown in 2016. She claims she was invited to his Las Vegas hotel room after one of his shows, where he allegedly punched her in the face, followed by his team escorts her out of the room.

According to TMZ, Gutierrez sued Brown in 2016 and the couple settled the case privately in 2017.
