Legal trouble is creeping Chris Brown’s way after an employee claims she was injured. Brown has been laying low these days as he works on his projects and enjoys life as a father of two, but it’s being reported that he’s been sued by his cleaning lady. A woman named Patricia Avila is reportedly suing the singer over an incident that happened to her sister involving Brown’s dogs. Avila says that both she and her sister were hired to clean Brown’s home in Tarzana, Calif. According to TMZ, they worked twice a week at a rate of $600 per day.

Avila claims that they knew that Brown had dogs but whenever they were at the property, the animals were kept away. One of the pups, a large Caucasian Shepherd Ovcharka, reportedly gained access to the backyard and allegedly attacked Avila’s sister as she was emptying a vacuum.

Avila alleges that the dog attacked her sister, “ripping 3 to 4 inches of skin off her arm” as well as biting at her face and leg. Brown is said to have been at the scene and was the person to call for help. “Avila says she thought her sister was going to die from the blood loss,” reports the outlet. The woman was treated at a hospital and reportedly had to undergo surgery.

This is where things get interesting; Avila, who wasn’t injured during the alleged incident, is suing Brown because she claims the ordeal has caused her to experience “PTSD, severe anxiety, and panic attacks.” It’s unclear what damages she’s seeking and if her sister will seek legal action.

He’s spent most of his life in the spotlight and every twist and turn has been carefully documented.  Bobby Brown burst onto the music scene as a New Edition singer before branching off into a successful solo career. However, the rises and falls of his personal life would begin to affect his professional aspirations. There were reports about arrests and drug abuse allegations, and now, Brown is sitting with the ladies at Red Table Talk to detail his experiences. 

In a preview of Wednesday’s (April 14) episode, Brown spoke candidly about how alcoholism almost ruined his life. “Alcohol, I started losing bodily function,” he said. “My body started shutting down because I was drinking that much… My body just was giving out on me. Even with alcohol, I got to the point where I needed it.”

“I needed it to wake up. I needed it to stop the shakes, to function on a day-to-day basis. For me, it wasn’t recreational,” Brown continued. Additionally, Brown addressed the recent tragic loss of his 28-year-old son, Bobby Brown Jr. “Kids today, they’re trying different things,” he said of his son’s drug overdose. “They’re trying to get as high as they can possibly get. That’s a real problem because they don’t know what these drugs are being mixed with these days.”

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office ruled Brown Jr.’s death as accidental and found “alcohol, cocaine and fentanyl” in his system. Bobby Brown added that people who are creating these synthetic drugs or lacing other drugs are “murderers.” Check out the clips of Brown’s upcoming Red Table Talk episode below.

YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul is facing serious accusations after a TikTok star has accused him of sexual assault. The controversial internet figure is known for his trolling and often outlandish behavior, but a young woman named Justine Paradise shared a lengthy video last week detailing what she alleges was her experience with Paul back in 2019.

In the 20-minute video, Justine claims that she had met Paul on multiple occasions at a Los Angeles mansion dubbed the “Team 10 House.” Many of these lavish homes are often rented to a dozen or more social media stars who create content and host parties. Justine states that it was on July 20, 2019, when she was at the home with Paul and she alleges that she told him she didn’t want to do anything more than just kissing.

However, Justine accuses Jake Paul of forcing her to have oral sex. She claims that she didn’t come forward sooner because she believed that signing a non-disclosure agreement legally kept her from speaking about the alleged assault. Paul has released a statement via his rep where he “categorically denies the allegation” and says he will look into taking legal action against Paradise if necessary.

The fighter also took to social media with a post where he says he has respect for women and once again denies assaulting Paradise. “I will fight to the end to prove my innocence,” Paul writes. He adds that he never had a sexual relationship with Paradise. “Sexual assault accusations aren’t something that I, or anyone should ever take lightly, but to be crystal clear, this claim made against me is 100% false.”

This is a feud that has lasted years and Soulja Boy is speaking once again about Famous Dex, but this time he’s focusing on “karma.” Famous Dex and Soulja Boy have a longstanding relationship as Soulja has previously stated he’s the reason that Dex has a career. Back in 2019, the two were seen yelling at each other on Instagram Live during their infamous argument in front of a worldwide audience, and Soulja revisited his beef with the Chicago rapper.

Recently, Famous  Dex has caused concern as he has shared videos and photos of himself looking a tad out of it. Rich The Kid stepped in to send his friend to a rehab center, but after completing treatment, distressing images continue to circulate. There have also been allegations of domestic violence and the 27-year-old father has reportedly been hit with 19 charges. As Dex’s personal life and professional career seem to be on the line, Soulja reportedly spoke about Famous Dex’s circumstance in a current Live, and according to him, karma is coming for Dex.

“Karma, bruh. You know what I’m saying? You can’t do sh*t like that, bruh,” said Soulja Boy. “N*gga help you and help you get on. You can’t do sh*t like that, bruh. You know what I’m sayin’? If you come from the hood and a n*gga fly you to L.A. and you sleepin’ on they couch and a n*gga givin’ you free songs and a n*gga put you in they videos and you say that ‘I’mma sign to your label, I’mma be SOD Money Gang, I’mma be SOD.’ Then you turn around and go sign with another person behind that person back and just do a whole bunch of snake sh*t. You gon’ go out sad.”

“You can’t do sh*t like that,” the rapper continued. “You might get away temporarily for a couple months, a year or something you might be poppin’ or somethin’. But after that, it’s gon’ be over with. ‘Cause guess what? All the fans seen what you did, you see what I’m sayin’?” Watch his clip below.
