Chris Brown could lose a portion of the money he is earning on tour with Usher after his former housekeeper won another major ruling in their ongoing legal battle.

A Los Angeles judge has granted Maria Avila’s request to collect money from Brown’s tour income, royalties and other entertainment earnings as she attempts to satisfy the nearly $13 million judgment she won against the singer earlier this year.

Brown objected to the request, but the court ultimately sided with Avila, according to TMZ.

The latest decision comes after a jury found Brown liable over a 2020 dog attack at his California home that left Avila with serious injuries.

Avila had previously asked the court for permission to redirect payments Brown receives from his current tour with Usher, along with royalties and money from other entertainment projects.

She claimed Brown had made no effort to satisfy the judgment following the jury verdict.

The judge has now approved her request, potentially allowing some of Brown’s incoming earnings to be assigned directly toward the debt.

Brown had fought the effort, arguing that Avila’s request went beyond what California law permitted.

The judge was apparently not persuaded.

It remains unclear whether Brown plans to seek reconsideration or appeal the ruling.

The legal dispute stems from a December 2020 incident at Brown’s Tarzana, California, home.

Avila was working as a housekeeper at the property when she was attacked by Hades, a large Caucasian shepherd used as a guard dog.

She suffered serious injuries to her face, arm and leg and required extensive medical treatment, including skin grafts.

A Los Angeles jury found Brown and his company, Black Pyramid LLC, liable in June 2026.

Avila was awarded approximately $12.9 million in damages for medical expenses, emotional distress and other losses connected to the attack.

Brown had denied wrongdoing in the case.

After winning the judgment, Avila turned her attention toward collecting the money.

Court filings indicated that she specifically targeted Brown’s income from his current nationwide tour with Usher, arguing that the singer was generating substantial revenue while the judgment remained unpaid.

She also sought access to Brown’s financial records and payments connected to royalties, entertainment projects and other income streams.

The newest ruling gives her a clearer path to collect directly from those earnings.

The decision does not necessarily mean Avila will immediately receive the full amount Brown earns from the tour. Rather, it allows qualifying payments to be redirected toward satisfying the outstanding judgment.

Brown has not publicly indicated what his next legal move will be.

His attorneys previously challenged Avila’s attempts to seize his entertainment income, and an appeal or request for reconsideration remains possible.

For now, however, the ruling gives his former housekeeper another significant victory.
