Chris Brown‘s ex-housekeeper hit the nail on the head, as she predicted the R&B star’s next move in their legal case.
The singer became embroiled in a legal debacle when his former employee, Maria Avila, sued him for $$90 million over a gruesome dog attack.
Earlier this month, the plaintiff filed new documents about the case, claiming Chris Brown’s legal team will try to submit evidence that will prejudice the jury against her.
According to new reports, Brown’s security supervisor, a man named Emil Lewis, sat down for a deposition in the case. He testified that he gave Avila and her family $30,000 or $40,000 in personal checks and cash before and shortly after Christmas in 2020.
When queried about the reason behind the financial support, Lewis confessed that he felt sorry for the family. However, he clarified that the sum came from his own pocket and was done without informing Brown of the payments, per the deposition transcript obtained by TMZ.
Now, Brown’s legal team is using Lewis’ confession as their key argument, noting his actions showed the security supervisor had acknowledged liability for the incident and taken responsibility for Avila’s damages. On the other hand, the former housekeeper moved to dismiss the deposition as evidence.
The Singer’s Ex-Housekeeper Shut Down The Payments As Irrelevant And Prejudiced
Weeks before Lewis’s deposition, The Blast reported that Avila had filed legal documents to stop Brown from using the payments as evidence in the case. She stated that Brown’s team might try to strengthen their argument by revealing that she received money from Lewis or another third party.
Avila stressed that whether she received money was irrelevant to the case because it did not prove or disprove liability or damages. She noted the payments did not show whether or not an attack took place, the nature and extent of her injuries, or if Brown should be held responsible.
Additionally, the former housekeeper believed that allowing Brown’s team to present the payments as evidence would only serve to prejudice the jury against her. Avila wasn’t the only one trying to stop evidence from being approved, as Brown’s team previously implored the court to stop the admittance of her injury pictures.
