Following Chris Brown's $500 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. Discovery over a docuseries he says defamed him while knowingly distorting facts, the multimedia company says it stands behind its work and will battle the issue in court. 'We stand behind the production and will vigorously defend ourselves against this lawsuit,' an Investigation Discovery spokesperson told DailyMail.com in a statement on Wednesday after Brown sued the company over the docuseries Chris Brown: A History of Violence, which initially aired last fall.

The Grammy-winner, 35, named in the legal filing Warner Bros. Discovery, Ample, and producers involved with putting together and airing the docuseries, which he said painted him to look like 'a serial rapist and a sexual abuser.'. Brown said that the docuseries washed away progress he's made rebuilding his image with the public in the near 16 years since he assaulted then-girlfriend Rihanna, 36, TMZ reported after reviewing legal docs.

Warner Bros. Discovery spoke out after Brown's attorney Levi McCathern told TMZ in an interview Wednesday that says Warner Bros. Discovery and its associated threw Brown 'under the bus' for a small profit. The Forever singer said in his lawsuit that the woman accusing him in the docuseries, who remained anonymous, had to withdraw a lawsuit she'd filed against him due to numerous factual inconsistencies; and that producers and companies named in the suit knowingly aired accusations against him that they had 'proof' was incorrect.
