Happy Wednesday everybody, it's Isabel back with your Daily Lowdown. Kicking things off today, Chris Brown has been ordered to pay $13 million after a two week trial came to an end on Monday. In 2020, the With You singer's housekeeper, Maria Avila, was attacked by his 200 pound

Caucasian shepherd leaving her disfigured. The Under the Influence singer was found liable by a Los Angeles jury for $30 million as he and his company Black Pyramid LLC owed to Maria as well as her sister Patricia and husband Oscar Olivo. This verdict comes just days after the singer began a co-headlining

tour with Usher, performing in stadiums across the US throughout the summer. Next up, Village People lead singer Victor Willis has died aged 74, a post on the Bounce official Facebook page has confirmed. The YMCA singer died following a short but aggressive illness on Monday according to the statement. The statement read,

We are profoundly sad to announce the death of Victor Willis, the leader of Village People. Victor passed on Monday 30 June 2026 of a short but aggressive illness privacy is requested. With Village People, Victor achieved two UK top 10 singles including YMCA which has become a gay anthem despite the singer claiming in 2024 that it was not the song's intention

and the number two single in the Navy. Next up, the British model, Kara Delavine, has confirmed she was entangled with Amber Hurd after the Aquaman actress' divorce from Johnny Depp. Kara, Pirates of the Caribbean actor Johnny, was driven crazy by jealousy when the two
