A U.S. judge signaled that the $13 million jury verdict against singer Chris Brown for the dog‑mauling of his former housekeeper may be reduced. The original award, first reported by Forex Factory on Sept 29, stemmed from a jury finding that Brown’s dog mauling injured the housekeeper. The case has drawn public attention given Brown’s celebrity profile.

Later reports added nuance. Complex echoed the $12.9 million figure while noting a procedural catch. The outlets differ on the exact reduced amount and the trigger for a further trial.

While inkl and Complex cite a revised award near $12.9 million, Rolling Stone mentions $9.5 million as the proposed figure. No final judgment has been issued; the judge’s decision and the housekeeper’s acceptance will determine whether the case moves to a new hearing.
