Chris Brown accused of hitting woman in Los Angeles
Grammy-winning singer Chris Brown was accused of hitting a woman during an argument in a Los Angeles home on Friday, authorities said.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department told
NBC News Tuesday that officers responded to a report of an argument at a
residence in the 19600 block of Citrus Ridge Drive in the San Fernando Valley
area of Los Angeles.
The incident is being investigated as a battery and will be
referred to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office, according to the
spokesperson.
Few details have been released, but TMZ reported that the
woman alleged that Brown smacked her in the head hard enough for her hair weave
to fall out.
No injuries were reported, and it was unclear if Brown would
face any charges.
Brown's attorney did not immediately respond to a request
for comment Tuesday.
"We have not been referred a case yet in this
matter," the City Attorney's Office said in a statement on Tuesday.
Brown, 32, has faced a slew of legal trouble stretching back
to 2009, when he was arrested for physically assaulting singer Rihanna, his girlfriend
at the time. He pleaded guilty to felony assault and completed probation in
2015.
Another ex-girlfriend of Brown's, model and actress
Karrueche Tran, was granted a five-year restraining order against him in 2017.
In 2018, he was accused of presiding over a drug-fueled orgy
at his Los Angeles mansion where a woman was sexually assaulted by two of his
associates.
