A housekeeper for Chris Brown has filed a $50 million lawsuit against the R&B artist after claiming she was attacked by his Caucasian Shepherd Ovcharka dog at his Tarzana, California home in December 2020. According to reports, the woman filed the suit under the pseudonym Jane Doe, and is seeking $20 million for pain and suffering, $20 million for emotional distress, and $10 million for loss of income.

Netflix has moved to bar its streaming service in Russia following President Vladmir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. According to multiple reports, the streamer announced that it would suspend all future projects, acquisitions and now all of its services in Russia in a bid to protest the war spearheaded by the country. Prior to the latest move, Netflix had confirmed four new Russian originals including a crime thriller series directed by Russian filmmaker Dasha Zhuk. The series which had began principal photography has been put on hold.

Although, relatively new in Russia (the streaming platform launched in 2016 with an estimated 1 million subscribers), the latest move joins other global corporate bodies as well as film studios who have in recent weeks moved to boycott the country amid the ongoing war. Companies including Microsoft and Apple announced that they were suspending activities in the country even as they continue to face sanctions.
