From Variety

Chris Brown’s legal troubles and history of abuse is the subject of a new documentary from Investigation Discovery, the network behind the Nickelodeon child abuse exposé “Quiet on Set.”

Out Oct. 27, “Chris Brown: A History of Violence” will launch ID’s third annual “No Excuse for Abuse” campaign. The doc will explore the legal issues faced by Brown, the pop star behind songs like “With You,” “Forever” and “Under the Influence,” which include domestic violence and assault charges and sexual assault allegations. Brown’s troubles date back to 2009, when he beat his then girlfriend Rihanna, causing severe facial injuries that required hospitalization. (Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault and accepted a plea deal.) In the years following, Brown pleaded guilty to a separate assault and was sued by a woman alleging sexual assault (that lawsuit settled out of court), along with a variety of other legal issues.
