The civil lawsuit, filed on Thursday by a
musician and choreographer identified as Jane Doe, said she was
invited by Brown to meet him at Star Island, Florida, home of
rapper Sean Combs. When she arrived, she boarded a yacht and
accepted Brown's offer of a drink as they discussed her career,
the filing said.
After a second drink, the woman suddenly began to feel
disoriented and physically unstable, according to the lawsuit.
She said Brown dragged her to a bedroom, removed her bikini
bottoms and had sex with her without consent, the lawsuit said.
An attorney for Brown, 32, and two other representatives did not
immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.
Writing on Instagram, Brown said: "Whenever I'm releasing music
or projects, 'THEY' try to pull some real bulls–t," and included
a blue cap emoji, which is used as slang for lies.
Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting singer Rihanna when the pair
were dating in 2009, an incident that made headlines around the
world after a photo of her bruised face was released.
A woman also accused Brown of raping her in a Paris hotel room
in 2019. The singer denied the allegation and filed a defamation
complaint against the accuser. No charges were filed.
In the new lawsuit, the woman said Brown called her the day
after the incident and told her to take an emergency
contraceptive pill to prevent any pregnancy.
The filing said she saw Brown twice after that encounter. At one
of those meetings, he became "irate" when she turned down an
invitation to his bedroom, the complaint said.
The woman has experienced "dramatic mood swings, loss of
appetite, panic attacks and has engaged in self harm," said the
lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. She is
seeking a jury trial and $20 million in damages.
