Plot Overview
With a runtime of approximately 120 minutes, Chris Brown: A History of Violence provides an in-depth examination of Brown’s history of abusive behavior and criminal actions. It discusses the notorious incident involving Rihanna in 2009, which resulted in his probation sentence of five years.
The documentary also brings to light a case involving Jane Doe, who allegedly suffered abuse at the hands of the singer aboard P. Diddy’s yacht during a New Year’s party in 2020. In 2022, the unidentified plaintiff filed a $20 million lawsuit against Brown, which was ultimately dismissed due to incomplete prosecution.
In the film, Brown’s anonymous accuser recounts her harrowing experience, emphasizing the need for victims to voice their truths:
“Unless people start speaking up and people actually stop victim blaming the people that do speak up, then that’s the only way he can be stopped.”

The documentary features thought-provoking interviews with various individuals such as 4everChantel, Haseeb Hussain, Liziane Gutierrez, Scaachi Koul, and community activist Dr. Michelle Taylor.
Furthermore, it includes insights from a panel of domestic violence specialists who shed light on common reactions and coping mechanisms exhibited by victims of sexual assault, who often grapple with feelings of shame, guilt, and fear.
