Chris Brown is taking legal steps to shield his personal and family information as a lawsuit tied to a 2021 dog attack continues to unfold.

In a newly filed emergency motion in Los Angeles, the R&B artist’s legal team requests that certain portions of his deposition remain confidential.

According to reports, Brown’s attorneys argue that making details like his residential address public could jeopardize the well-being of his children and other family members.

“Mr. Brown has historically had issues with intruders and trespassers on his property,” the legal motion explains. “On one occasion, after having returned from a tour, Mr. Brown came home to a stranger who had broken into and was living in his house.”

The filing emphasizes the seriousness of the issue: “These sorts of targeted break-ins not only constitute an ‘unwarranted annoyance’ but also threaten Mr. Brown’s and his family’s safety.”

The urgency behind the request comes after the opposing side declined to keep Brown’s deposition sealed.

Maria Avila, one of the former housekeepers involved in the case, is suing for $90 million, claiming she was violently attacked by Brown’s dog, Hades, while he was home and failed to intervene.

Though the case isn’t expected to reach trial until February 2026, it is one of the legal matters Brown faces. He is also engaged in a separate legal dispute with Warner Bros., seeking $500 million in damages for defamation.
