Chris Brown Documentary Surrounding Abuse Allegations Coming to ‘Quiet on Set’ Network ID
Written by djfrosty on September 30, 2024
Chris Brown’s history of alleged abuse and myriad of lawsuits will be explored in a new documentary coming to Investigation Discovery.
The Hollywood Reporter first reported the news regarding the doc on Monday (Sept. 30), which is titled Chris Brown: A History of Violence. The documentary is set to land on ID on Oct. 27 as part of the network’s “No Excuse for Abuse” campaign.
While Chris Brown has spent plenty of time topping the charts, he’s also dealt with plenty of legal issues dating back to his 2009 arrest for allegedly assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna. He ultimately took a plea deal after pleading guilty to felony assault in the case.
“Chris Brown’s an amazing and talented musician, but let’s call a thing a thing. He’s an abuser of women. Consistently, unapologetically,” one woman can be heard saying in the Ample Entertainment-produced doc’s chilling trailer.

An unidentified alleged victim is also coming forward to tell her story of abuse at the hands of the turbulent superstar for the very first time.
“I have not spoken about this matter publicly, but that’s the only way he can be stopped,” an altered voice says.
Shortly after the premiere airs, The View‘s Sunny Hostin is reportedly slated to host a discussion alongside domestic violence experts and survivor advocates.
“Domestic violence is a very close, personal issue to me as I reflect on my past as a prosecutor of these types of cases, and in my role as a mother and public figure whose actions inform and help shape the next generation,” Hostin said in a statement. “This issue is a prevalent epidemic which knows no socio-economic boundaries, so I am dedicated to expanding and continuing this crucial conversation. The more we know, the better we can help advocate for change as a society.”
Investigation Discovery is coming off of airing the bombshell Quiet on Set documentary earlier this year, which probed the child abuse that allegedly took place at Nickelodeon Studios.
