No shade! This story is not new. We have a whole felon in the biggest job on earth running a Nonblack house but here we go trying to continue to persecute Chris Brown! I am so tired of this narrative! I am surprised that the rating is as high as it is! Rihanna has forgiven him. They even had dates afterward. Let's face it. Chris Brown is a charmer! However, he is allowed redemption. How long must he be persecuted? It just gets annoying to see this narrative repeat and repeat continuously. I also hate how when the narrators talk like they were there. You were not there. You could do a whole story praising Chris Brown too! My hope is that the 19 year old Chris Brown has matured over 16 years since this happened! I really wish they would stop rehashing the narrative over and over again! This man has gone on to sell millions of records and has broken James Brown's records.

In this documentary where they claim it is up to the media to hold celebrities accountable and bring facts to light to prevent them from being treated differently they mention that Chris Brown did a tribute to Michael Jackson, commenting that they thought it was inappropriate for someone accused of domestic violence giving a tribute to the Prince of Pop never mentioning that Michael Jackson was accused of child molestation. The first time P Diddy is mentioned there is no reference to the video of him beating his girlfriend or that he was arrested for human trafficking, the second time he is mentioned there is a small comment made about it lasting no more than maybe 30 seconds. Where is the media calling out those celebrities as the documentary claims the media should be doing.

The one anonymous accuser of Chris Brown was a part of the documentary. During that section they cite a report saying only 10% of sexual assault charges are false. I looked up that report, it is only discussing female reports of sexual assault at one college, very limited study. A report is considered false if after an investigation there is a lack of evidence it happened, or there is evidence the accuser is lying. The anonymous accuser on the documentary had the DA never fail charges against Chris Brown because of lack of evidence and her personal attorney for a civil lawsuit dropped her and her case after it was discovered she was withholding text messages she sent to Chris Brown saying she wanted to have a relationship with him. So there were two investigations that both ended at the same conclusion: there is inadequate evidence for it to hold up in court. That seems to be the very standard of the study as to what qualifies as a false accusation, can't be sure though since they cite the study and never explain it.

Anything regarding sexual assault and domestic violence is a complex subject the understanding around which is still changing and developing. This documentary doesn't spend the time to discuss the details and criteria of the definitions and different studies and situations and making necessary connections. I don't feel sexual abuse and domestic violence is a subject a documentary should be made with unexplained facts and cliff notes, take the time to give the full details or don't bother.

There are two sides to every story. People can wake up and decide to find a way to destroy someone that's how evil the world is right now, the documentary is nothing but a biased attempt to ruin a young successful man, i hope everyone who watches this will see through it. It also got one to think that maybe the young man is about to be on something that the powers that be are actually not happy with. And if it's a blessing that he got be dragged to actually shine even more than they anticipated . Until then we got watch attempts like this "documentary" not only fail but expose intentions behind media.

This movie is very one-sided, most of the witnesses they have seem really sketchy. This seems like a documentary just to sabotage his career because he is successful. These women here all seem like groupies. There's no backstory about what made him take these actions. No one just acts out for no reason, although that is no excuse. We need the whole story. This seems like a smear campaign. It was said that Brianna put hands on him first, although it is not OK for me to hit a woman this information should have been added because they are making it seem like he just started beating her for no reason. This seems like they are out to get Chris and this particular documentary. Very disappointing that people are putting this type of smear campaign out, shame on HBO Max.

The fact that they spent their time on this horrible documentary when he is at the height of his career speaks to the true intentions of the producers. Why didn't they spend time on Rhianna for her toxic and abusive behavior that started his downfall? He's already owned his. She hasn't admitted hers. She just cried victim although she was the instigator. This is why they don't take people seriously when they scream equality or abuse. He is at his prime. He's owned his mistakes. He's paid his debts. Move on. At this point, the only toxic people we see are the producers of this crazy film. Move on.

If this documentary was true, he would serve life in prison. He had plenty years of probation which would automatically send him to prison.

It's just accusations nothing else, he even sued some of the girls, some girls have been exposed lying by TMZ and his team.

This just contains lies and the and goal is to make him look bad.

Chris has moved on, with his kids and sells out arena's they try to get in between all of that and try to portray something his is not.

There is worse people/celebrities out there that no one talks about it gets sweept under the rug.

The inconsistency is absurd........

A lot of black youth have had a run in with the law. But to make a whole documentary about it is just milking it way too far. This man's dedication has brought him to superstar level and he imploys and support so many others people. It's a multimillion dollar business he set up. Leave that man alone and his mistakes in the past. We all made mistakes and learned from it. This documentary, is ridiculous.
