Chris Brown's former housekeeper is fighting his effort to block any talk about his arrest for assaulting Rihanna at their upcoming trial ... TMZ has learned.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Maria Avila -- who is suing the singer after she claims he should be held responsible for her being mauled by a dog at his L.A. home in 2020 -- asked a judge not to limit evidence being introduced about Chris' past domestic violence or assault allegations.
Maria -- who is seeking $90 million in damages -- pointed out that Chris pled guilty to felony assault in connection with a domestic violence dispute involving Rihanna in 2009.
IvannaLisetteOrtiz -- the woman accused of shooting at Rihanna's L.A. home -- is now completely cut off from her kid … and the judge is leaving barely any wiggle room.
A Florida judge has ruled Ortiz will have zero contact with her child until further order of the court ... the only exception is if the child's father personally approves it. The court ordered the child's father to have 100% time-sharing … meaning full custody and control over the child's day-to-day life.
And this didn't start with Rihanna … Ortiz had already been previously placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold in Florida. She claimed it was based on false accusations, but the judge still flagged concerns.
Ivanna Lisette Ortiz -- the Florida woman who was charged with attempted murder for allegedly firing multiple rounds into Rihanna's Los Angeles home -- pleaded not guilty in a court appearance Wednesday.
A request by Ortiz's attorney -- a public defender -- to reduce her bond was rejected. Her bail is currently set at $1,875,000, KABC-TV reports. Ortiz was seen behind glass in a custody area and only spoke Wednesday to agree to waive her right to a speedy preliminary hearing, the Associated Press reports.
The woman accused of firing shots into Rihanna's Los Angeles home was previously involuntarily committed under Florida's Baker Act and later lost custody of her 10-year-old child ... TMZ has learned.
Hal Roen, attorney for Ivanna Lisette Ortiz's ex-husband, Jed Nikko Valdez Sangalang, tells TMZ ... Ortiz was previously "Baker Acted" in Florida prior to 2023 ... meaning she was placed in a psychiatric facility against her will under state law, which permits up to 72 hour involuntary or voluntary psychiatric holds.
Roen describes her as "articulate" and "very believable," adding, "If you sit down with her, she's very convincing. But she does bizarre things," referencing the alleged Rihanna house incident Sunday.
Rihanna is not taking any chances following the terrifying shooting at her Los Angeles home because she was photographed getting on a flight and leaving town Monday afternoon.
Photographs show bags being loaded into vehicles and driven to Van Nuys Airport before the plane took off.
As you know ... authorities continue to investigate the shooting that took place at Rihanna's home Sunday while she was inside with her children.
Rihanna was home with her 3 kids at the time an assailant targeted their L.A.-area mansion with gunfire -- A$AP Rocky, the father of the kids, was also home.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... the singer was shacked up inside her house with the children she shares with A$AP -- namely RZA, Riot Rose, and Rocki Irish -- before all hell broke loose on Sunday afternoon.
The suspected shooter, Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, allegedly fired off several shots from her vehicle at the residence ... but luckily RiRi and her youngsters were not injured, our sources said.
Rihanna might have a billionaire price tag attached to her name ... but she’s still clocking in for regular-degular grocery runs just like the rest of us!
Check the video ... RiRi rolled into an L.A. supermarket Monday dressed head-to-toe in black, yet somehow still impossible to miss. Case in point ... an elderly shopper behind her was so mesmerized she accidentally grabbed Rihanna’s cart, thinking it was her own!!
Rihanna shared a giggle with the woman over the incident ... proving she had no chip on her shoulder, especially since her priority at that moment was shopping for potatoes.
That said, this wasn’t exactly a solo grocery store run. Rihanna was closely tailed by her bodyguard and even had her personal chef in tow -- presumably on standby for dinner inspo while she also grabbed scallions, grapes, bananas and more.
So yeah, she’s out there like any busy mom ... just with a security detail, a personal chef, and someone else hauling the groceries while she casually struts a single flower pot to the parking lot!
One thing about Rihanna -- she’s usually loud, bold and colorful -- but she also knows how to shut it all the way down in sleek, head-to-toe black!
You gotta see this look stepping into Lapérouse during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday ... RiRi flaunted those curves in a plunging, figure-hugging black midi dress, topped off with a furry shawl casually draped over one shoulder.
Even after dark, she kept the shades on for that untouchable A-list energy -- and this fit is so lethal, you already know her stans are screenshotting and recreating as we speak.
A$AP Rocky and the kiddos weren’t spotted with her, but she was flanked by her team -- so fingers crossed someone’s learned to be a gentleman and grab the door this time ... because we do not need a repeat performance!
