*T/W: Violence and physical/sexual assault.Readers' discretion advised.
Chris Brown allegedly struck a woman during an argument last week, multiple outlets have reported.
Police were called to a Los Angeles home at 7:30 a.m. on Friday, June 18, as sources per E! News. Authorities were told the caller and the suspect argued, before the suspect “struck her,” according to the LAPD — who did not confirm the name of the suspect to E! News. However, according to another media outlet, TMZ, a law enforcement source identified the suspect as Brown.

However, the suspect was not there when police arrived at the residence on Citrus Ridge Drive. No arrests have been made.
Although the 32-year-old rapper did not respond to the allegations, he instead went onto his Instagram Story just hours after news articles regarding the incident were published. Posting “Yall so ? [sic]” with a baseball cap emoji might mean, “Yall so cap”. This, in Gen Z slang, basically reads as “everyone reporting it are liars”.
Brown has a long history of trouble with the law, going back to 2009, when he was arrested for assaulting Rihanna, who was his girlfriend at the time, before the Grammy Awards. He was sentenced to five years of probation after pleading guilty to one count of assault. And since then, he’s allegedly been involved in multiple incidents at nightclubs, including in February 2012, June 2013 and April 2017.

Recently, Brown was sued by a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted at his house during an after-party in 2017. The “With You” singer privately settled the lawsuit, as confirmed by E! News. But in April of last year, the anonymous woman requested that the case be dismissed with her lawyer describing her as “severely traumatized by what she was forced to suffer.”
