Chris Brown Drugged and Raped Me on Diddy’s Yacht: Accuser Speaks Out

A damning new documentary reveals how Chris Brown’s history of violence allegedly goes much deeper than beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

Brown is a self-avowed abuser of former girlfriend Rihanna, whom he horrifically battered on the eve of the 2009 Grammy Awards, and in the years since, the R&B singer has been the subject of lawsuits and accusations from multiple women who claim that he physically, verbally, emotionally, or sexually assaulted them. The film pairs that material with new conversations with culture writer Scaachi Koul, broadcast journalist Sharon Carpenter, LAPD Sergeant Cheryl Dorsey, and domestic violence expert Dr. Carolyn West, who explains that Brown’s violent tendencies might be related to—if are not excused by—his childhood. ID’s documentary intersperses its commentary with snapshots of women holding placards featuring depressing statistics about domestic violence, underscoring that Brown’s saga is just a more high-profile version of a terrible tale that’s told ad nauseam in this and every other country.
