As RadarOnline.com first reported, Avila and her sister worked at Brown’s home in Tarzana, California. On December 12, 2020, a Caucasian Orvchake/Caucasian Shepherd dog named Hades allegedly attacked Avila’s sister while she was taking out the trash.
Availa filed a lawsuit demanding damages for having to have witnessed her sister be mauled.
Her sister, who used the pseudonym Jane Doe to file her own separate case, accused Hades of “savagely” ripping bits of her face and arms off.

Doe said she was on the floor covered in blood, she heard Brown approach. She said he instructed his team to remove all the dogs from the property before the authorities arrived.
Brown has denied all allegations of wrongdoing. He blamed Doe for causing the attack claiming she provoked the dog.
He even accused Doe of having “teased, abused and mistreated” the animal.
“[Doe] invited the injuries now complained of and assumed the risk of them with full knowledge of the magnitude of that risk, in that she knew her foregoing conduct might cause the dog to attack her, and seriously injure her, both of which events are alleged to have occurred,” his response read.
