The same week, the singer filed a defamation complaint against the 24-year-old woman who accused him, his bodyguard, and another man in his entourage, of rape.

The woman who filed the rape complaint reportedly said she met Brown on January 15 at the club Le Crystal and that the singer assaulted her in the bathroom. She claimed she was later raped by the singer’s bodyguard and one of his friends.
