A woman who previously accused Chris Brown of drugging and raping her in a $20 million lawsuit is resurfacing her allegations for a new Investigation Discovery documentary.
The accuser — identified only as Jane Doe — claims in “Chris Brown: A History of Violence” that the R&B singer assaulted her at a yacht party outside of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Miami mansion in December 2020.
The woman does not appear to accuse Combs — who was recently charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and faces several civil suits — of taking part in any alleged sexual misconduct at that time.
However, in a preview for the documentary, seen by Page Six, Doe recalls seeing the “Bad Boy for Life” rapper on the yacht at one point, but she describes him as “really nice.”
Her attorney, Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, who recently represented a Combs accuser but has since dropped her as client due to “a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship,” affirms to us, “Diddy was on the yacht.”
“The yacht was docked behind his house on Star Island. We now believe he may have owned the yacht or chartered it,” the lawyer explains. “We have not been able to confirm that’s why we did not specify the type of ownership.”
When Doe first filed her lawsuit in January 2022, an insider told Page Six at the time that although the large boat was docked outside of Combs’ property, the now-disgraced mogul did not own the yacht.
A separate source close to Combs tells us Saturday, “These allegations have nothing to do with Diddy at all and have not alleged any wrongdoing against him.”
His reps did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Meanwhile, Doe maintains in the documentary that she has been honest about her claims against Brown, 35, stating that she wanted to come forward again to “shed light on what really happened.”
She recalls meeting the “Under the Influence” singer on the boat and him handing her alcohol.
“I don’t remember if I saw him pour it, but I just drank it and he just hands me another drink,” Doe says in the doc. “As I’m standing there, I did start to feel kind tired and my body was feeling a little heavy.”
The accuser alleges that Brown then took her to a bedroom on the boat, where he allegedly proceeded to sprawl out on the bed and get “on top” of her.
“I couldn’t move and I said ‘No’ and then I felt him… next thing I knew he was inside me,” she claims amid tears. “I didn’t want it and he’s kissing me from stopping me from talking … I was so disgusted.”
Doe alleges in the doc that she continued to speak to the “Loyal” singer after the incident to get “more clarity” on the matter, but later realized the depth of what had allegedly happened to her through therapy.
When the suit was first filed, Brown denied any wrongdoing and leaked text messages that Doe sent him in an attempt to clear his name.
Mitchell-Kidd and George Vrabeck, who also represented the accuser at the time, then dropped her as a client, telling Page Six in March 2022 that the Miami Beach Police Department had provided them with new information that “precluded” them from representing her.
However, Mitchell-Kidd decided to take on Doe as a client again, telling People Friday, “I adore my client and I believe what happened to her is 100 percent true.
“I feel that I failed her as an attorney because I couldn’t make her comfortable enough with me in such a short period of time where she felt 100 percent comfortable being forthcoming with me.”

In August 2022, Doe’s initial suit was dismissed “without prejudice” due to “lack of representation,” according to NBC.
It’s unclear if Mitchell-Kidd plans to re-file the lawsuit. She did not return Page Six’s request for further comment. Brown’s lawyers also did not immediately get back to us.
“Chris Brown: A History of Violence” premieres on Investigation Discovery on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET.
