Chris Brown is about to watch a significant chunk of his tour earnings go straight to his former housekeeper after a Los Angeles judge sided with her in a brutal legal battle.

Maria Avila won the right to collect from his concert income to satisfy a $13 million judgment stemming from a vicious dog attack at his Tarzana home back in December 2020.

The ruling means that as his R&B stadium tour with Usher continues raking in massive revenue, portions of those profits will be diverted to cover what he owes her.

The backstory here is intense. Avila was taking out trash at Brown’s property when a 200-pound Caucasian shepherd named Hades attacked her without warning.

The dog tore away significant portions of her skin, leaving her with permanent facial scarring, partial vision loss, nerve damage, and severe emotional trauma.

Her sister, who witnessed the entire attack, received $885,000 for emotional distress, while Avila’s husband got $50,000. The jury awarded Avila $12.9 million, rounded to $13 million, after finding Brown liable for the incident.

Brown had testified that he warned Avila about the dogs and that Hades was a security animal, not a personal pet.

He also claimed she should have avoided the property unless accompanied by his security team.

The jury rejected his defense entirely. According to TMZ, Brown objected to the court’s decision to tap his tour income, but the judge wasn’t moved by his arguments.

The timing couldn’t be worse for Brown financially.

His R&B tour with Usher has already pulled in $153.4 million across 20 shows, with hundreds of thousands of tickets sold.

Brown’s career touring revenue is approaching a historic $1 billion milestone, so there’s definitely money flowing in to satisfy this judgment.
