Chris Brown
Pleads Guilty In Bottle Throwing Case …
But Avoids Jail
Published
Chris Brown received a get out of jail free card from a judge after he pleaded guilty to repeatedly hitting a producer with a bottle in a London club back in 2023.
The R&B singer made an appearance Monday in Southwark Crown Court to be sentenced for the assault of his ex-pal, former Abraham ‘Abe’ Diaw, on a dancefloor at Tape nightclub in Mayfair, London, in February 2023.
The judge handed Chris an eight-month suspended sentence after he pleaded guilty to affray — a criminal act involving a fight or the threat of violence by two or more people that disturbs the public peace.
Chris’ codefendant, Omololu Akinlolu, 40, also avoided jail time and received a suspended sentence after pleading guilty to the same charge.
Judge Tony Baumgartner told Brown that he was holding a “tequila bottle in your right hand, when you reached Diaw you struck him to the left side of his head whilst holding his hood.”
Baumgartner went on … “The repeated use of a glass bottle in that way, especially aimed at the head, was plainly dangerous; it carried the risk of delivering a more serious injury than was ultimately sustained.”

Court testimony revealed Brown played a “leading role” in the attack that occurred over 20 seconds and was captured on CCTV video.
In 2025 … Brown was arrested for the crime at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester, England, after flying into the city on a private jet for a concert.
