Brown’s brother, Matthew, said the actor is currently homeless, according to TMZ. Matthew didn’t want his brother to go to a homeless shelter, so he let him stay at a house he was in the process of renovating. Matthew told police Brown was acting “crazy” at home and alleged he had raped his wife before coming at Matthew with a knife blade and a hammer, TMZ reported. Matthew was not injured during the alleged attack, according to TMZ.
