Investigation Discovery's new documentary "Chris Brown: A History of Violence" premieres October 27, 2024, examining the controversial musician's troubled past and alleged patterns of abuse.

The documentary, produced by Ample Entertainment, is part of ID's No Excuse for Abuse initiative during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It features interviews with former associates, violence prevention experts, and alleged victims.

While Brown's musical talents brought him fame in the mid-2000s, his career has been marked by violent incidents, most notably the 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna, resulting in a felony conviction.

A key focus is the testimony of "Jane Doe," who alleges Brown assaulted her at a 2020 yacht party hosted by Sean "Diddy" Combs. Her story led to a $20 million lawsuit, later dismissed after her attorney withdrew from the case.

The View's Sunny Hostin, a former prosecutor, will host a post-premiere discussion about intimate partner violence and available resources for survivors.

Brown's representatives have denied all allegations as "malicious and false." However, the documentary raises important questions about accountability in the entertainment industry and society's response to abuse allegations against high-profile figures.

The film aims to amplify survivors' voices and contribute to broader conversations about systemic change in addressing domestic violence.
