A Los Angeles woman filed a lawsuit on Wednesday, May 9, 2018 against Chris Brown and a fellow rapper, alleging she was repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted at Brown's home during a drug- and alcohol-fueled party last year. The woman, identified only as Jane Doe, said she was lured to the singer's house following a concert at a nightclub on February 23, 2017 and was raped several times by Lowell Grissom, who performs under the name Young Lo.

Chris Brown is under investigation for battery after allegedly smacking a woman so hard that part of her weave came off.

The Loyal singer was named the suspect in the battery case after police responded to his San Fernando Valley home over the weekend following a woman’s allegation that he hit her.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ.com the woman claimed Brown smacked her on the back of the head so hard that it made part of her weave come out. However, the woman had no further injuries, and no arrests have been made. Police took a battery report following the alleged incident, which may see Brown hit with a misdemeanour charge.

Brown and his representatives have yet to comment on the allegations.

It’s the second time in as many months that police have been called to Brown’s house – the first was in May when the Los Angeles Police Department responded to reports of a huge birthday bash. They broke up the party in the early hours of the morning.
