Chris Brownâs ex-housekeeper, Maria Avila, is requesting that a judge exclude evidence related to an alleged payment made to her by a member of Brownâs team, which she claims was for medical bills after she was allegedly attacked by the singerâs dog.
In court documents filed last week, Avila’s legal team argued that any evidence regarding money received from a man named Emil Lewis or another third party is irrelevant to the ongoing case. According to Avila, Lewis has made statements claiming that he gave her âtens of thousands of dollarsâ for her medical bills following the dog attack. However, Avila disputes these claims and argues that they have no bearing on the caseâs core issues.
Avila is suing Chris Brown for $90 million, alleging that his dog viciously attacked her, causing extensive injuries to her face. The lawsuit claims the attack was severe enough to warrant significant compensation. Avila has indicated she plans to present shocking photos of her injuries during the trial.
In her motion, Avila argues that the alleged payments are irrelevant to determining whether the attack took place, the nature and extent of her injuries, or whether Chris Brown should be held responsible for the attack. She contends that the introduction of this evidence would not assist in proving or disproving the core issues of the case, and instead, it could unfairly prejudice the jury against her.
Additionally, Avila argues that there is no witness with personal knowledge who can testify to the claims of payments made for her medical bills, asserting that such evidence would be inadmissible.
Chris Brown has denied the allegations, claiming that his dog was provoked by Avila, and that she is at fault for the attack. As the legal battle continues, the trial is scheduled to begin on June 15, 2026. Both sides are preparing for what promises to be a contentious court case.
