The housekeeper attacked by a security dog at Chris Brown's Los Angeles mansion wept on the witness stand as she described the mauling.
She claims the attack nearly five years ago left her with severe injuries to her arm and face, extensive and painful scarring, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
"I will never be the same again," Maria Avila told jurors in a California courtroom.
She testified that surgeons harvested so much skin from her abdomen to graft onto her arm, she was unable to bend at the waist during her lengthy recovery.
The lacerations to her face required dozens of sutures, and she had to spend five days in the hospital alone because pandemic restrictions barred visitors, she recalled.
Avila testified that the attack had robbed her of her physical confidence, her livelihood, and her sense of safety. She said she is now afraid of all dogs, and that nerve damage and chronic sensitivity on her left side make it difficult to sleep and perform routine daily tasks.
