EXCLUSIVE: Is Chris Brown Violent?
Is Chris Brown violent? In an August 2007 interview with GIANT magazine, the young R&B star talks about witnessing domestic violence in his childhood home:
Like the day an 11-year-old Brown made a promise to his mother. He vowed that he would go to jail by age 15 for killing his abusive stepfather. “I just want you to know that I love you,” he told her in GIANT. “But I’m gonna take a baseball bat one day while you at work, and I’m gonna kill him.” Brown’s parents had separated when he was seven. When his mother remarried, she moved her son and his new stepfather to a trailer park. Then his stepfather shot himself in the head. The shot went straight through the eyes. He survived the suicide attempt but was permanently blinded.
“When you’re blind, your senses are heightened, like your smell, hearing, your sense of touch,” Brown explains to GIANT. “You can move and maneuver around your sight. But he used to hit my mom…. He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, ‘I’m just gonna go crazy on him one day…’ I hate him to this day.”

As his young world spins on an axis of fame, money and music — getting advice from everyone from Usher to Michael Jackson — rising superstar Chris Brown wants to balance the normal and the crazy. Who says it can’t be done?
“You’ve got too much rotation on the ball!” shouts Chris Brown’s security guard from the bench. “You gotta let it flow!”
“I can’t help it,” the teenage superstar snaps back from the court as he shakes his wrist. “I jerked off before I got here.”
Playing point guard with the swagger of a young Rucker Park champ, tattooed arms and all, the six-foot-one 18-year-old has nice ball handle, an even nicer jump shot and makes a few slick steals on D. He’s also an entertainer on the court: While a player from the other team shoots free throws, Brown is mid-court, break-dancing. And a trash-talker: He argues with the scorekeeper and the ref. On the bench after fouling for the fourth time in the first half, he shouts, “The ref’s shorts is cutting off his circulation!”
Chris Brown is in baggy shorts and a jersey in the basement gym of an Upper West Side school for a Basketball City league game. There are no screaming fans, no girls tearing off their panties in the crowd. In fact, there’s no crowd at all except his old friend Monet Sealey, two bodyguards and a teammate’s girlfriend. Nonetheless, Brown is playing like there’s a trophy to win. After his spell on the bench, he returns to the game and starts raining baskets-three in a row, then four, then five, which still doesn’t stop Monet from screaming at him: “Follow your shot boy, even if you think you gonna make it!” (”If you want to write a story about Chris Brown, here’s your story,” Monet says. “All you gotta say is Chris Brown is a silly teenage kid, who ain’t never gonna grow up.” Dribbling down the court, Brown throws a goofy, sarcastic expression at Monet, as if proving her point, then nails a jump shot.)
Brown’s team wins 70 to 54. He takes off his yellow jersey, finds out that the team on deck for the following game is missing a player, throws on a blue jersey and helps them win 71 to 63. Afterward, the ref with the small shorts who Brown has beefed with through both games makes his way over to him, resting in the bleachers. He leans in to offer some words of wisdom. “You’ve got a good game,” the ref acknowledges, “but my advice is to be fundamental. It will take you a long way.”
Everyone, it seems, is coaching Chris Brown from the sidelines. But he’s used to playing his own game. And winning. Over lunch at the London Hotel in New York City a few days later, Brown recalls being 14 years old and getting a call from Usher, who was encouraging Brown to sign with Island Def Jam.
“Big Usher. He was like the Michael Jackson of our generation,” Brown says. “I said what’s up to him, but I ain’t sign with Def Jam.” Brown went with Jive Records instead, and his 2005 platinum-selling self-titled debut spawned a string of hits, including “Run It!” “Yo (Excuse Me Miss),” and “Gimme That,” which, together with his incredible dancing, sweet face and crossover appeal, allowed Brown himself to snatch Big Usher’s spot as this generation’s Michael Jackson. It also sent his peers-all older than Brown-scrambling to keep up with the young star’s effortless moves and energy.
“I don’t consider myself the typical R&B guy because I’m not an R&B cat,” declares Brown, who prefers to describe himself as an “R&B jock.” “I’m from the ‘hood. I’m not a punk! A lot of cats get consumed with, ‘Oooh, I’m this; I’m that.’ They’re divos. I’m not a divo at all. I’m just a dude.” And therefore, not a threat.
“I don’t do R&B beef. That’s corny,” Brown says when asked about rivalries and competition. “I don’t really have many friends in the industry. Trey Songz I consider my homey. I can still see the country in him. I can still see the same dude. And Rihanna’s real cool. Rihanna’s a good girl. Like friend, not a girlfriend.” Brown feels the need to clarify because rumors were floating around that the two were a couple. They also made a remix of her hit “Umbrella” together. He says he doesn’t think it’s a good look for his image to be in a relationship right now, that he could lose fans.
“Everybody wants to be the best, from me to Ne-Yo to Usher, Omarion, Justin Timberlake, Trey Songz, Mario, everybody.”
In the hotel lobby a middle-aged white woman extends her fist to give Brown some dap as he passes by. In the restaurant two elderly Ladies Who Lunch send over a tray of sweets because “he looks like he’s working so hard.” Brown is used to the attention from grown women (he claims 34-year-old Gabrielle Union has shown interest in him) and, of course, from all the young girls who squeal at his concerts and chase after his bus. “I appreciate it because that means they really like me, but in a spooky way,” he says with a half-scared, half-animated smile. “I take most of it with a grain of salt because they’re a fan of who they see on TV.”

The new album is called Exclusive, and it’s packed with Brown’s signature upbeat hits and top-tier production by Bryan Michael Cox, will.i.am, Scott Storch, Swizz Beatz, Dre & Vidal, the Underdogs and Johnta Austin. Brown co-wrote seven of the album’s 10 tracks, and he knows this is no time to disappoint your audience. Even as he spends the day doing interviews, playing ball, checking out (and commenting on) females everywhere he goes and, even, cursing and acting a fool much more than his management might like, Brown still manages to keep his eyes on the right prize. Consider his goal to someday sell at least 12 million records. “Michael Jackson sold twenty-five million albums, so I wanna get to at least twelve,” he says matter-of-factly. “If I could just sell twelve, I’m doing my part because that means double that is downloading it….I don’t wanna settle. I wanna be the best.”
The King of Pop is for Brown, like for many young stars who grew up in awe of the videos and hits, a real touchstone. When Brown was four years old, his father, then a cop, would watch Michael Jackson videos and copy MJ’s moonwalk. Brown would copy his father. Then this summer, four years after Usher called him (and two days after his 18th birthday), Brown received a call from the King of Pop himself. Brown was at the movies watching Spider-Man 3 when his security guard handed him the phone.
“Michael told me his favorite song was ‘Shortie Like Mine,’” Brown says, trying to smother his laugh. “He wants to do a song with me and will.i.am. Michael said to me, ‘Being able to dance and sing, that’s rare. Nobody can do it-only you, me and a couple others. Keep working and dream big.’ He told me, ‘Dream big.’”
Great advice from one star to another, even better advice from a legend who experienced a difficult childhood just, as it seems, our new star did. Because Chris Brown’s past, though always filled with dreams, also featured its share of nightmares.
Brown was always the little kid in the big kids’ room at his mother Joyce’s day-care center in Tappahannock, Virginia (population: 2,000). In the back of the school bus, the older girls used to make him sing Soul For Real’s “Candy Rain” for them every day. At the local fitness center, he played basketball with guys twice his age. “There were guys twenty-four, twenty-five, and I’m like, ‘Oh, these dudes letting me play with them!’” He was the only sixth grader on the eighth grade team, freshman on the high school varsity team. It’s clear Brown always had a light shining on him, but he’s endured more dark days than his happy-go-lucky demeanor lets on.
Like the day an 11-year-old Brown made a promise to his mother. He vowed that he would go to jail by age 15 for killing his abusive stepfather. “I just want you to know that I love you,” he told her. “But I’m gonna take a baseball bat one day while you at work, and I’m gonna kill him.” Brown’s parents had separated when he was seven. When his mother remarried, she moved her son and his new stepfather to a trailer park. Then his stepfather shot himself in the head. The shot went straight through the eyes. He survived the suicide attempt but was permanently blinded.
“When you’re blind, your senses are heightened, like your smell, hearing, your sense of touch,” Brown explains. “You can move and maneuver around your sight. But he used to hit my mom….He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, ‘I’m just gonna go crazy on him one day…’ I hate him to this day.”
Brown found relief in the streets by spending time with his boys, avoiding home. “Music, basketball and drawing was my outlet to keep me away from all that.” At 13 Brown started taking music more seriously and moved back and forth from Virginia to New York City. He traveled to Harlem to link with T.J. Allen, aka T-Breezy, an aspiring rapper whose father was well-known music producer Timmy Allen. (That was also the year Brown’s mom finally left Darnell. Brown believes she found the strength in part because she suspected her son was about to kill him two years early.) With Brown calling himself C Swizzle, Allen began shopping the pair’s demos and quickly scored an audition at Island Def Jam with CEO Antonio “L.A.” Reid. Reid offered Brown and his buddy a deal on the spot.
“Me and all the guys was in the bathroom, jumping around, just being big kids,” Brown says. “They was grown men! But me and T.J. were just wildin’!
“I remember I called my mom about to cry, but I was like, ‘No, I’m a boy. I’m not supposed to cry.’”
But the deal quickly went sour. According to Brown, during the negotiations, Allen and his team got greedy. “They took care of me this whole time, and then they started being snakes,” he says. Tina Davis, then a senior vice president at the label, saw Brown’s talent and told him not to sign the deal. “Tina was like, ‘I’m not signing that agreement with you. They not being right.’ And this was before she became my manager. She coulda just been like, ‘Oh, alright, I’m gonna make my money anyway.’” Davis was fired from Def Jam not long after. Brown called her the same day and asked her to be his manager. He hadn’t signed the Def Jam deal. She moved him in with her in New Jersey and got him a deal with Jive Records, now home to R&B’s ruling class: R. Kelly, Justin Timberlake, T-Pain, Joe and Huey.
“Me and T.J. used to stay at Tina’s house all the time. We thought she was super rich!” Brown says. “She lived in a regular neighborhood, and we was from the ghetto. We was wearing a whole bunch of dirty clothes. She would buy us fresh things every week, new sneakers.” And he started doing his schoolwork through an Internet home-school program partially because it seemed like his friends in Virginia were hating on him anyway. Brown had been back to Virginia for his ninth and 10th grade basketball seasons but had been getting into fights, so after that, it was a wrap. He was too busy learning how to become a pop star.
“I did weeks of media training because I was so country,” he says. “My mentality was still Harlem and Tappahannock. I was stuck in the ‘hood mind-set.”

Brown and Davis would also watch movies about exploitation in the music industry-such as the Sam Cooke story about how he had his publishing stolen-stories that, Davis says, helped Brown understand what he needed to do to get to a certain place. “He was learning how to talk right, how to sit right,” Davis remembers. She would fall asleep during the movies, and when she woke up, he would still be there watching, taking it all in, transfixed. “He was like a sponge.”
It’s a hot, sunny afternoon in mid-June. Down the block from Brown’s cover shoot at Manhattan’s Drive In Studios, girls in tight jeans are gathered after class outside Bayard Rustin High School for the Humanities with Chris Breezy look-alikes in fitted caps and Jordans. Brown’s own graduation was a few weeks earlier, and despite the money and fame, he’s still disappointed that he wasn’t able to walk with his class, missing out on all the ball games, parties, the prom.
When Brown talks of Exclusive, he uses high school as the metaphor. “With a second album, there’s a lot of pressure to maintain status,” he says. “It’s like if you’re popular in high school, you gotta keep it up-keep the fresh gear on, keep saying the right things. The whole music industry is like high school. My prom was the Grammys.”
But what high school type is he? Most likely to succeed? Class clown? Most athletic? Whichever he is, not too many high school students have recently built a six-bedroom home in Virginia, own a white Ford Expedition, a blue Lamborghini and a black Range Rover, or just bought their mom an orange Corvette and a matching house down the street.
If he had gone to his prom, Brown would have liked Ciara to be his date.
“When Ciara came out, I loooved her,” he says. “This was before her and Bow Wow and before anybody knew me at all. I met her at a show and was just really intrigued. I remember talking to her like, ‘Yo, I’m attracted to you and all that.’ But I was too young for her. I didn’t get the time of day!” Brown says he tried to holler at Ciara, now 21, both before he learned she was in a relationship with Bow Wow and again after they broke up. So there’s no guessing who’s the inspiration behind Brown and Bow Wow’s 2006 hit duet, “Shortie Like Mine.” Brown says that once he and Bow Wow became cool, he was straight up with him. “I told him, ‘Man, I got a crush on Ciara.’ He was like, ‘Who doesn’t?’ But I’m cool now. I don’t stunt her that much because if I know somebody’s not attracted like that, I’m not gonna push. At the end of the day, you’re not blessed with everything.”
Given his abnormally successful world, Chris Brown needs some normalcy. Take a recent “tattoo” moment between client and manager. To Davis’s dismay, Brown got a tattoo of a skull with a halo for his 18th birthday. “I told him, that’s five hundred thousand units, baby,” says Davis. “That’s a parent who don’t wanna buy that album. I had told him not to make it visible, and he put it on his hand!” But Davis also believes you have to let a kid be a kid. “If you don’t give them normalcy and fight for their normalcy, they’ll go crazy in this industry,” she says. “So when he asks to go play basketball with his friends in Harlem, because that’s what he loves, how could I say no? They treat him just like he’s Chris Brown back then. And that’s so important.”
“I’m eighteen years old. This is the year you’re supposed to move out, go to college or something,” Chris says. Instead, Chris Brown has finished a second album, is gearing up for a worldwide tour in October and planning outfits for a trip to Oprah’s Girls Academy in Africa. But he’s not a superstar yet.
“I hear it,” he says, “but I don’t feel it.”

I don’t feel that he is violent. I feel the whole thing was a story about his life and becoming a star, and the little part where he made a simple comment about an abusive step-father. I would have wanted to kill him too, imagine my “step father” hitting my mother and making her cry, hell yes i would want to hurt him too. I don’t find Chris Brown violent, he’s just as normal as anyone else.
Ok point blank, any young boy who witnesses his mother bein beat on is gonna feel some type of violent feelings, becuz they want the abuse to stop, but that doesn’t mean the boy or man himself, that he grew to be will be violent, it’s just a spur of the moment thought cuz at that point, that’s all u know to do to stop the situation. So no, I don’t think that means he’s a violent person, he’s a singer for crying out loud, it’s hard to be a violent person when u have to soften urself enough to sing about girls and things of that nature all the time… that’s all I have to say PEACE!!!
Chris is not the only one in todays society that has grew up in a violent home or around violent situaitions. I pray God will look over him reguarding the current violent issues that he has to do with and also for the young woman that was involved in the violent situation with Chris. May God bless them both.
i feel that he an’t violent. I feel sorry fro him ya but just because he grew up in a violent homes doesn’t mean that that is why he hit Rhianna. His histroy and the Rhianna thing doesn’t go together. And of course if someone was hurting his mother he going to have a feeling of protecting. If they person didn’t then I would wonder about that. Rhianna comes out to me has jelous and out going which in thiz case wasn’t very good.Chris brown come out to me has to be nice but if u get on his wrong side he will go off. He had no right to hit her but he went thru a lot of when he was growin up so hes tempute is short.
What diff would it make if he was or wasnt…its his personal life.Not our business like our person s**t is not his business… so who the f**k cares. If he does beat females..he should watch out… he dealing with an West Indian female..lol…
Excuse my French.. but thats bulls**t !!
Many of us have come from violent homes and have never been violent..
We don’t know what happened for sure..
Certainly there’s no excuse for hitting a female.. but hey, I’m not going to jugde until I hear what happened from the horses mouth..
Keep ya head up Chris.. Your still the bomb !!
MWUAH
I understand that Chris grew up in a Violent home! But, that doesn’t excuse his behavior. So what if Rihanna is jealous… That doesn’t give him the right to put his hands on her, A REAL MAN WOULD NEVER RAISE HIS HANDS TO A WOMAN!!! I am so tired of MEN using some lame a** excuse, so they can beat on there women!!!
A man who beats on a woman, is a coward!!! They will continue to do it, until they are stopped!!!
So, Yes, I love Chris’s MUSIC, but what he did makes him a coward. If he has issues, then go to Therapy, like the rest of the world!!!!!
First off, we don’t know the full story. Although Brown was wrong for striking a woman we don’t know anything about the provoking factors.
It will be funny if they get back together. That is what most domestic violence couples do.
I dont condone chris’s actions and if he actually hit her; it was indeed wrong. But one thing i hate is when another woman downs a man over a dispute in which she knows nothing about. It is wrong for a man to hit a woman, yes. It is even more wrong for a woman to push a man to the point where he feels he has to do what he has to do! If a man who strike’s a woman is a coward, then what does that make a woman who likes to push a man to the point where he reacts in ways that brings him out of his element? A b***h?! A stupid b***h?! must i keep going? Don’t judge their situation when you don’t know their full story! They are just human beings too. _freedom_
OH EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP!!!! THE MEDIA BLOWS S**T OUT OF PROPORTION! IM NOT CONDONING HIM HITTING A WOMAN BUT PLEASE!!!! ALWAYS REMEMBER THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO A STORY SO BEFORE PEOPLE you all pa** judgement please know that!!!
Thats exactly what I said in the last forum about this. He grew up like that. And we all know as adults for Most ppl either of 2 things happen-We stay Away from potentially violent situations bcuz we dont want to experience the drama or we subconsciously Imitate what we saw as young ppl.
No amount of money can trump human psychology or bad habits. Money usually Accelerates bad habits. But being that he is in the spotlight-regardless of what happened or who/what was the cause-I believe he will learn from this experience.
Bcuz getting into crazy relationship dramas is not worth ruining his career. Hopefully he will do some soul searching and get over whatever violent urges he has.
The report of the ‘Bite Marks’ is a tale tell sign that the person witnessed domestic abuse as a child-this is just fact.
Im not judging-Im just saying this happens alot & just bcuz a person is successful doesn’t mean they’re cured or super-human. All the best 2 Chris and whoever he got into it with-they need 2 stay away from each other if they want their careers 2 continue.
P.S.: If I or any1 could give advice to Chris I suggest they remind him that the Best revenge is Success. If it is true that he talked about violence in the home by step parent; repeating the cyclic disease and ruining his career is telling the perpetrator that THEY Won.
Chris dont let that man do that 2 you-he’s a worthless human being-dont become like him-Bless Up.
This is very sad. They are both very young and under alot pressure. Beyond the unfortunate situation we need not to speculate. These are lives not “news stories.” My hope is that they both grow from this situation.
FROM WHAT I HEARD SHE GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO WALK..SO CLEARLY HE DID SOMETHING TO PISS HER OFF…ALL THIS PUSHING HIM BULL S**T…REGARDLESS IT DOESN’T MATTER…THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR LAYING YOUR HAND ON SOMEONE…ECSPECIALLY A WOMAN…IF HE WAS A REAL MAN HE WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY…THEN AGAIN BASED ON THE FACT HE GREW UP IN AN ABUSIVE HOUSEHOLD I’M NOT SUPRISED…THEN AGAIN HE SAW WHAT THE ABUSE DID TO HIS MOTHER SO HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER…I’M SHOCKED HE WOULD DO SOME S**T LIKE THAT
AND IF IT REALLY IS TRUE..HIS CAREER IS F**KED
@cyan: yes, i totally agree. In fact i don’t think it’s mentioned enough—this incident, regardless of what actually happened and why, is just so insanely sad. i find it enormously depressing that such young people who appear to have it together are combusting so publicly. it’s horrifying.
i am a big fan of chris brown and rhianna i cant and wont say wat happend between tha 2 but its jus a minor set back!!! they will recooperate and get things back on track!! and chris must remember that if gets to tha point where you gotta put ur hands on a woman then its time to let go!!!!
First off I’m go say an opinion is like a a*****e and everyone has one, now I don’t agree how he handled the situation, but just speaking in general I don’t understand why some of theses females think its ok to jump in a man face, slap, scratch, or hit them and not think something go jump off. I say if you think you big boss of the south to jump bad then thats on you, and even if the guy does try to walk away some females start running behind them provoking what the man is trying to avoid. So its like a man is in a lose lose situation.
okay okay u can never say unless u go thru waht they did and no one really knows what happeneded between the two none of us were there and jus because u can sing dont give u a permit to whoop someone elses a**es but what i can say it s**t happens and sometimes the situation at hand is too big and rational thinkin is not an option but i hope they both grow from this and make better desicions for the future their careers are in the lime light and to be honest my money would have came first i would have left and found 10 more rihannas but het u live and learn*~*~
we all have our up’s and our downs but life is so hard when every one is looking at one person and not the other I say to everyone that thinks he did it should re exam the sitition a little better number one we was not there number 2 chris brown and rihanna are two humans like anyone else except they have more money then some of us. I can only say this and life we all go through things being that most us being a women or a man have had our own domestic violence issues no one can judge this young brother for what he took actions on we can only pray for him to get better .we have to keep in mind we where not there we dont no what rihanna did as well there are all sorts of factors that will bring domestic violence upon us as people when we get caught doing wrong things or hurting others and not respecting each other feelings so love yourself first before you love another because love dont last forever but domestic violence hurts.
i dont think a man should ever beat up on a female under no circ**stances what so ever,i think chris brown is such a p***y to do what he did to her,and for all the people out there that supports what he done to her needs to have their heads examine or evaluated,and they are also loosers,get well rhianna.
I grew up to see my biological father beat my mother, and I’ve gotten in arguments with women and have had to kick them out of my house, but I’ve never laid a hand on them. We all make mistakes but at the end of the day, ESPECIALLY, in light of the fact he’s a celebrity, he really has no excuse. “I can’t handle the pressure of fortune and fame, so I’m going to blame it on my past and the pressure I must endure now”. Cop Out.
Give it a break. We were not there so stop jumping to conclusions. They are adults but still kids in my mind. It was wrong for Chris to react that way butthere are always two sides to a story. Everyone is ready to jump on Chris and ban his music and stuff but wait! What R-kelly did to that young gurl is wayyyy different than this and the black community supported and still supports that pedophile. Please…Leave the boy alone.
things happen for a reason. And this will really open the door for her to get out of that terrible situation. No man or woman should be treated like that. All in the same breath domestic violence affects every one in some way. Let us pray for these very young and gifted people and not scrutnize them. I am a firm believer that he should be punished the same way that all other battered woman offenders are punished. Point blank….with out Jesus in there life, or any one elese for that matter, learning to handle life in all it’s aspect’s past ,present and future will be harder than ever thought to be.
Yes, there are always 2 sides to a story but no matter how mad Chris Brown was at Rihanna, there is no excuse for hitting her (if that’s what really happened) Especially since he has a grudge against his stepfather for doing the same thing to his mother. He should’ve just walked away. I got an email from a friend showing a pic of Rihanna’s face. If that’s how she really looks…Chris, you need help!
I am with another member, we are so quick to react without the entire story. No I do not promote abuse by no means, but either of us where there at that time so we do not know the circ**stances surrounding the occurance. Will we band Rihanna music if she was found to be the one to abuse him…or will he call Chris a whimp and a punk for allowing it to happen. You have to understand these are two young individuals who may have not learned how to resolve inner-conflicts. I man should be strong enough to walk away, but when you vow never to be a victim again because of abuse from people in the past, you tend to fight when it present its self. Remember even verbal abuse is still abuse. I am sure that Chris have not had counseling for the events that happened in his childhood. Like someone said, we have known for years that R. Kelly is a pedophile but have not blackballed or band him. Hell we are still pullin for Whitney even though we know she has been on drugs…
FIRST OF ALL SHAME ON ALL THE DJF’S OUT THERE AND THOSE SO CALL FANS THAT PUT THIS YOUNG MAN DOWN FOR THE FIRST MISTAKE THAT HE MADE. IT SEEM THOSE THAT ARE QUICK TO JUDGE, HAVE FORGOTTEN THOSE CRACKS IN THEIR GLA** HOUSE’S. I KNOW FOR SURE I HAVE SOME. NO DON’T GET IT TWISTED THAT ABUSE IT SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF BUT WE HAVE A LONG WAY TOO GO IN UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE AS A NATION NEED TO IMPROVE ON. ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY AND NEITHER WAS SLAVE DONE AWAY WITH SO QUICKLY. GIVE THE MAN, HIS DUE WHEN HE GOES TO COURT BEFORE YOU PUT HIM DOWN FOR ONE TERRIBLE MISTAKE IN JUDGEMENT. IF YOU DID NOT DO IT FOR R KELLY OR OJ THEN SHAME ON YOU FOR BEING A JUDGE OF SOMEONE PAST.
MAN.. ALL THIS HYPE AND FOCUS ON CHRIS BROWN AND RIHANNE IS CRAZY. THERE IS MOR IMPORTANT THINGS GOIN ON IN LIFE TO WORRY BOUT THIS DRAMA. SH!T HAPPENS. FOR WATEVER REASON HE HIT HER.. AND WHATEVER REASON SHE LET HIM DO IT.. OR STUCK AROUND PERIOD. IT DONT MATTER! LOOK AT THE EWS FOR A FEW MINUTES AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH.. THEY DO ANYTHING TO NOT ONLY EXPOSE CELBRITIES.. BUT BLACK COUPLES.. AND ANYTHING AND EVERYHING THAT NOT WHITE!. YOU DONT HEAR OBAMA TALKIN BOUT IT…
First and foremost as a woman she should have seen the signs. (Or on his behalf it was just a mistake.)Now as a human being I agree no one should be hit man or woman. Although Chris brown has had a violent past that gives him no right to put his hands on her. So I truly believe she did the right thing by calling the police on him. He knew he did something wrong or else he wouldn’t have ran away. Woman everyday are killed by the hands of their boyfriends or husbands.Now for both them as a young black famous couple,their already under the radar. As young people again with money thier hotheaded.So whatever the media can find out their going to run with it. (If the story holds any truth.)
i heard rihana gave cb herpes straight from jay-z. chrus found out…and the rest we hear about
Yea’she gave it to him.But the real thing is that woman needs to stop running around giving men all these dam s**t!!!
woow who ever rote this is a dumb a** i bet rihannas stupid a** made all of it up just so she can get chris brown in trouble and all u rihanna fans u are idiots rihanna is sooo stupid she was lucky someone a** cute as chris brown acually asked her aout and all u fans out htere that are judging cb right now well u are noot reall fans right here this girl ritting this is a true fanns soo all u news paper riters fall back becuase u
Omg Im so tired of every one sayn that rihanna is making this up if she is making it up why did chris turn his self in you ppl need ta deal with reality i mean it not like im taking either side but yall jus need ta wake up n c reality
No matter what the reason, a man should never physically abuse a woman; even if he has to walk, run away from a physical confrontation with his female spouse, because he will always get arrested. I am glad that he did come forward, because he has some issues that needs to be addresses, and this may be his cry for the help that he was not able to get for himself. And as far as the rest of the story; if you wasn’t there, you don’t know anything. We should pray for the both of them. It is evident that each of them need some guidance in their lives that on God can give.
ARE YOH F**KING SERIOUS IDK Y HE WOUD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT CHRIS BROWN HAD A GOOD SAID BUT I GIVE IT TO RIHANNA WHAT SHE SAY NOT ONLY |GOOD GIRLS GONE BAD| BUT THERE IS ALSO |BAD BOYS GONE BAD THEIR DAMN SELF..
I Pray for both of them. They are both young and mistakes where made on both parts. Yes Chris was wrong for putting his hands on her, but we dont know the whole story, and probley wont know untill both sides are told. I myself saw my mother get abused by my father, and was also abused by him too. By confronting my father when I got older, I was able to get pa** that horrible time in my life, and move on. This also released the rage inside of me I had towards my father. Chris may not have have that opportunity and the stress from an argument, may have triggered his actions. I also was like this untill I was able to confront the issues with my father,
“face to face.”
“face to face.”
I think the media should mind their own business because the media goes through things worster than the celebrities. We as the people of the United State of America are noisy. Maybe this not the first time this accident have happen and maybe this not the last time this going to happen. If Rihanna and Chris going to resolve their matter and get back with each other, its totally up to them. If whatever happen is really true; Chris you know you were wrong for hitting Rihanna. I dont know what happen, only the two of you know. I think yall need to get your s**t together because it seem like the both of you all have alot of issues going on in your life’s and that’s normal. But the media need to stay the hack out of your life’s and other’s and concentrate on their messed up life’s.
I saw a photo of rihanna and christ which showed a cold sore on the left side of her lower lip. Some say that she gave him herpes. If that photo is correct,then she at least has herpes simplex type 1. Maybe not transmittable,but if its type 2 then maybe christ is in trouble for real.Just a thought!!!!!!!!
This whole thing will blow over and Rihanna will end up with a nice white guy like Halle Berry and garcelle beauvais did. Most every black guy I know treats women like s**t and the ones that don’t cheat on them or sponge off of them, and now there are excuses for this type of behavior. People like Chris mess it up for the few black men who do treat women right, I know 4 beautiful black women who are done with black men for this same reason and I cannot say that I blame them.
That girl, should learn to date men her own damn age instead of these young dudes who gonna whip a B***h down in a heartbeat once she step outta line!
Yes Halle Berry had to wrong black men she be happy with me those dummies lol . Now Mr. brown had issues being young with a lot of money and women around but if he was honest no need to text any other woman?, for the fight well the camera don’t lie and marks are marks.I have been lied on before but when picture’s and medical reports are there it’s their law and he should have know better ,I was out kicking it at his age and use run from arguing women no time for tha fighting to young , to rich , to much fun to have in life at 19 dummy get in the ring in MMA or with some real fighter (men)good it’s not my daughter???
Chris is an idiot, and HE IS NOT NORMAL. ANY one who says he is, needs their head examined. He is an animal, and he should know better after watching his step dad beat his mother. He needs to pay for his felony crime, and get his azz kicked in jail so he can see what it feels like to get beat. A man is NOT a man if he hits a woman, he is a PUNK. Rihanna kick his punk azz to the curb, he is not worth it. If you stay with him he will just keep on beating you. Because staying with him just give him permission to mistreat you. You can do much better with someone who will love and respect you and treat you like a queen. Chris is dirt under your feet, DUST HIS AZZ OFF. Move on with your life. Don’t let him destroy you. Turn to Christ, HE’s Got Your Back. God Bless
Yo this fag needs a serious wake up call! I agree with the last cat had he been in jail he’d be somebodies b***h in a pair of pannies! Funny thing about it is that the first time I saw him his whole appearence said nothing more than f****t.
What in the HELL the world is comig to? Yall dudes sound like some hating cowards looking 4 love. As if Rihanna gone read this bulls**t, and be looking 4 yall. eat a dick! n stop hating on dat man. What if she give him a STD? as being said then what? u MASRHMALLOWS would still eat the p***y I bet. FAGS!
WHAT N THE HELL THE WORLD COMING TO? YALL DUDES SOUND LIKE SOME HATING A** COWARDS, THAT DO ANYTHING, AND BEIIEVE ANYTHING A CHICK SAYS. LIKE RIHANNA GONE READ THIS S**T, AND B LOOKING 4 YALL. WHAT IF IT WAS BHIND A “STD” LIKE IT WAS 1ST REPORTED? THEN WHAT? I BET U MARSHMALLOWS STILL EAT THE P***Y. FAGS!
first off he had to have gotten the idea from somewhere, thats not just sumthing you experience off T.V. you live & experience abuse, even if they (his step dad(s)) did do it they wouldnt admit it on t.v. anyway. like my mom abused the hell outta me & my brothers & she would nvr admit to anything like that on t.v. so i think some one is lieing, what does chris’s mom say about the whole thing??? when she mention somthing about it then i’ll make a choice to Continuing supporting Chris or not til then I STILL SUPPORT CHRIS BROWN!!!
WHAT N THE HELL THE WORLD COMING TO? YALL DUDES SOUND LIKE SOME HATING A** COWARDS, THAT DO ANYTHING, AND BEIIEVE ANYTHING A CHICK SAYS. LIKE RIHANNA GONE READ THIS S**T, AND B LOOKING 4 YALL. WHAT IF IT WAS BHIND A “STD”? LIKE 1ST REPORTED THEN WHAT? I BET U MARSHMALLOWS STILL EAT THE P***Y. FAGS!DON’T YALL GET IT FOOLS? WOMEN CAN’T B TRUSTED PERIOD. ASK ADAM
I DONT THINK CHRIS BROWN IS VIOLENT, BUT WHEN PROVOKED, IT IS POSSIBLE! IM NOT APPROVING THAT HE SHOULD PUT HIS HANDS ON ANY WOMAN BECAUSE OF WHAT SHE DID OR SAID, YOUR NOT A MAN! YOUR STILL A LITTLE CHILD IF YOU PUT YOURS HANDS ON A WOMAN BECAUSE SHE SAID SOMETHING U DIDNT LIKE OR GAVE U AN STD, WHICH IS CLAIM TO BE A RUMOR.
I dont think that Chris is violent either, he’s such a sweet person. I would love to know him even now no matter what no body has to say.
I hope he comes through this on top.
