Maria Avila Seeks to Seize Chris Brown’s Tour Earnings to Collect $13 Million Judgment

Avila asked a court for access to Brown’s financial records so payments from The R&B Tour can be diverted to satisfy the jury award.

Overview

  • A Los Angeles jury entered a roughly $13 million judgment for Maria Avila after a trial over a 2020 dog attack at Chris Brown’s home.
  • Avila filed collection papers Monday seeking post-judgment discovery, a court-ordered financial examination of Brown, and permission to redirect money she says is owed to her.
  • Her filing specifically targets earnings from Brown’s R&B Tour with Usher and asks the court to intercept tour payments, residuals, royalties, and other entertainment income until the judgment is paid.
  • Reporting from multiple outlets says Brown has made no public response so far and has not paid any portion of the award, leaving collection efforts in an early, developing phase.
  • If the court allows turnover or garnishment, the judgment could be collected from third-party payors or require an appeal bond, and the award will accrue interest that will increase the amount owed over time.
