Speaking to the Daily Mail, Chris Brown’s French lawyer, Raphael Chiche, said that the allegations were false and that a file for a defamation lawsuit was being prepared against the woman.

“Chris Brown is free. No lawsuits were filed against him. He vigorously challenges the charges against him,” he said.

“A complaint for slanderous denunciation will be filed tomorrow with the public prosecutor of Paris.”

According to The American Baber, other celebrities who have publicly shown their support for the singer include rapper T.I as well as model Winnie Harlow.
