A Los Angeles jury found Chris Brown and Black Pyramid LLC liable for negligence after Brown's 200-pound dog attacked housekeeper Maria Avila in 2020, awarding her $12.9 million. The attack caused permanent disfigurement, scarring, vision loss, and nerve damage while Avila emptied rubbish at the property. Brown left the scene without calling emergency services, later stating he followed his manager's advice due to shock and fear of media attention.
