A judge indicated Tuesday that he might dismiss a $20 million lawsuit filed against Chris Brown by a woman who alleges she was drugged and raped by the R&B singer-songwriter at rapper Diddy’s home in Miami Beach in 2020.
No one for either side showed up for a case management conference scheduled Tuesday before Van Nuys Superior Court Judge Huey Cotton, so the judge set another hearing for July 11 on a possible dismissal of the case brought by a plaintiff identified only as Jane Doe.
Although the alleged attack occurred Dec. 30, 2020, in Florida, the lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County because both the woman and the 33-year-old Brown reside there.
Brown “brutally assaulted Jane Doe — who now fears for her life and career — shortly after luring her to a meeting to discuss her career at the end of 2020 in Star Island, Florida at the home of Sean Combs,” the suit brought Jan. 28 states.
Doe “brings this complaint seeking justice for herself and also with the hope it may serve as an example for others who may now or have in the past found themselves at the mercy of Chris Brown,” the suit states.
