Life
childhood and adolescence
Chris Brown was born on May 5, 1989 in the small town of Tappahannock , Virginia , to Joyce Hawkins, a former daycare manager, and Clinton Brown, a correctional officer at a local prison. He also has an older sister named Lytrell Bundy who works in a bank. His parents divorced when Brown was six years old. The musician later said in an interview that he grew up with violence. His mother's new boyfriend was violent towards him, which "appalled" him as a child.
Brown has said in various interviews that he grew up listening to the music of Michael Jackson , Anita Baker , Stevie Wonder and Sam Cooke , and he also credits singer Usher as an inspiration.
He attended Essex High School in his hometown until the spring of 2005, after which he received private tuition.
From late 2007 to February 2009, Brown was in a relationship with Caribbean pop star Rihanna . In March 2011, it was announced that Brown was in a relationship with model Karrueche Tran . In early October 2012, he announced the split from Tran, citing his friendship with ex-girlfriend Rihanna as the reason for this. Following Tran's split, it was revealed that Chris Brown had a daughter (b. May 2014) with former model Nia Amey-Guzman.
Violence in the relationship with Rihanna
From late 2007 to February 2009, Chris Brown was in a relationship with singer Rihanna . The relationship ended in a violent altercation after attending a pre-Grammy party together in February 2009. A little later it became known that Chris Brown had been arrested that evening on suspicion of having made a criminal threat against his girlfriend. On March 5, Brown was charged with assault and threats. Pictures of Rihanna with lacerations and bruises on her face, taken immediately after the incident, went around the world.
At the end of May of the year it was announced that Rihanna had been summoned by the court to testify on June 22nd about the course of events. During the day of the trial, after a deal with the judge, Brown pled guilty to the assault charge and avoided prison. He was sentenced to five years' imprisonment on probation, as well as participating in an anti-aggression program and completing 190 hours of community service. For the time being, he was not allowed to contact his ex-girlfriend and was not allowed to approach her up to a maximum of 45 meters (nine meters at public events). Rihanna was then informed of the verdict in the courtroom. She later shared through her attorney that she believed the punishment was just and fair.
After the incident, Rihanna withdrew from public life for some time, giving very few interviews. Only when her fourth studio album , Rated R , was released did she comment on the incident at the time. During a Tell All interview that aired on American television on November 5, she confirmed a rumor that a fight broke out between them when she read a text message to him from his ex-girlfriend. Brown previously lied to her about this and she caught him. As a result, he freaked out and became violent.
In late 2009, Brown gave an interview to The Times newspaper in which, according to Der Spiegel , he suggested he was not the only aggressor. In the interview he pointed out that many people believe that domestic violence is a one-sided affair and that as a man you will be laughed at if a woman hits a man. He also said that if both partners use violence, then both have made a mistake.
rape lawsuit
In January 2022, a woman filed a civil suit against Brown alleging the singer drugged and raped her on Sean Combs ' yacht in December 2020. The woman is a dancer, choreographer and musician. He said he served her a drink on the yacht after which she felt "disoriented" and "physically unstable" and then raped her. The woman is demanding $20 million in damages.
