Chris Brown’s former domestic staff, Maria Avila, wants him to put his money where her mouth is!
The singer’s former housekeeper has demanded that he make his financial information public knowledge in her ongoing lawsuit over a dog attack.
Maria Avila dragged the artist to court in 2021 when she claimed his dog assaulted her while she worked in his house with her sister, Patricia Avila.
Maria is seeking a significant amount in damages, specifically $90 million, following the alleged dog attack at Chris’ home in Los Angeles.
To support her case, she now wants Chris to provide various financial documents, including details about his assets, bank accounts, income tax returns, and any relevant forms such as W2 and 1099s.
The former staff also planned to depose the performer’s accountants and financial advisors, anticipating that they possess crucial information about his financial condition.
However, the former housekeeper’s attorney has expressed concerns that Chris may not cooperate during the discovery process. They expect he might either resist complying with a court order or claim ignorance regarding his financial details when questioned under oath.
Given these challenges, the lawyer believes that a motion allowing Maria to pursue discovery related to the star’s finances is both reasonable and proper.
In conjunction with the earlier request, In Touch gathered the singer’s former staff has also requested that he attend a deposition to answer inquiries about his financial situation, potentially related to the damages sought due to the incident.
On December 12, 2020, Maria reported that she was attacked by a large Caucasian Orvchake shepherd dog named Hades while she was taking out the trash with her sister.
She described the incident as a “vicious and brutal” attack, claiming that the dog mauled her face and arms, resulting in severe injuries and permanent disfigurement.
According to her lawyer, Chris, who was present during the attack, failed to intervene. Instead, he allegedly instructed his bodyguards to dispose of the dog, thereby attempting to destroy the evidence related to the incident.
The bodyguards reportedly took the dog to Humboldt County in Northern California, where they tied it up and left it. Eventually, the humane society found the dog and euthanized it shortly after.
