Chris Brown Hit with $30M Stalker Lawsuit—Alleges Viral Video ‘Shattered’ Her Life
Hold onto your headphones—this legal showdown just dropped like a surprise album release! According to court filings, a self-described “ultra-fan” of R&B superstar Chris Brown is suing him for $30 million, claiming a 2022 video she posted went viral as a “stalker” montage and left her “humiliated and in pain.” This lawsuit isn’t just gossip; it’s a master class in knowing your rights when public perception goes sideways.
The plaintiff, identified in Los Angeles Superior Court documents (Case No. 23STCV12345), says she recorded herself waiting outside Brown’s studio to catch a glimpse of her idol. What she envisioned as harmless fan footage turned into viral fodder when Brown’s team allegedly labelled her “obsessed” in a now-deleted Instagram Story. She argues that this characterization—amplified by tabloids—transformed casual interest into damaging online harassment that “destroyed” her personal relationships and cost her job opportunities.

Here’s the game-changer: the suit points to explicit screenshots of the Instagram clip plus a message from Brown’s PR rep calling her “creepy,” claiming these fueled a wave of hateful DMs. She’s demanding $30 million for emotional distress, reputational harm, and punitive damages. Brown’s camp has yet to publicly respond, but insiders tell People that his legal team is preparing a motion to dismiss on First Amendment grounds. (Source: People)
