Popular American Hip-Hop Artiste, Chris Brown has been ordered to pay nearly $13 million in damages to his former housekeeper after she was viciously mauled by one of his dogs in December 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria Avila, who worked for Brown at his house in Tarzana, California, sued the R&B star in 2021 after she was attacked by his Caucasian shepherd guard dog, Hades, while she was taking out the trash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a five-year legal battle, the case finally ended Tuesday, with a Los Angeles jury siding with Avila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown, who was home during the attack, was found liable for negligence and ordered to pay $12.9 million to Avila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avila\u2019s sister, Patricia, who also worked for Brown, was separately awarded $885,000 for emotional distress, as was Avila\u2019s husband, Oscar Olivo, who was awarded another $50,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
