People Chris Brown

Now I’m all for forgive and forget. I can’t even remember what I’m mad about half the time. But it’s really hard to forgive someone who won’t even say what they’ve done wrong in the first place. Are they even sorry or is it just to calm troubled waters?

This is where Chris Brown enters. I’ve always like the young man. He’s  an adorable, seemingly clean cut kid who can sing and dance his behind off, and really appeared to have his -ish together. So when the whole fight (can you even call it a fight?) story broke, I couldn’t really comprehend that it was the same young man.

Fast forward a few months into the future as Chris Brown sits between his PR reps, OOPS, I mean mother and lawyer,  in front of Larry King in all this powder blue looking like he just came off the geek assembling line. I suppose that I, like so many others, expected a heartfelt and honest interview about the altercation. What were we given instead? A bunch of “umms and likes” and whole lot of nothing.

As I watched the interview I couldn’t help but wonder did he mean anything he said or was he simply reciting a poorly written script.

A few things Chris  said and did made me think he didn’t mean  one word of his apology. Let me know if you picked up on it:

Possibly the worse period…”- WHAT?!?! Let me have the sort of status, fame, and backing Chris Brown had, and then have them snatched away for something so stupid! I would be on Larry King crying my eyes out. Possibly.

He doesn’t remember doing it- Hmmm, you don’t remember doing it, but you apologize for it? Whose the bigger dummy, us or Chris? Even Larry King was taken aback by his response. A bet Larry was thinking, “kid you’re an idiot”. I know I was.

Apologies, apologies- “I apologize to my fans”.  Chris, please, who do you think you’re fooling? You’re apologizing for all the booty you’ll be missing as you pick up garbage off the freeway.

Questions with no answers- Am I the only person who caught that Brown didn’t answer not one single question that had to do with the incident? And when he did, he delivered the worst lines ever! It’s amazing he “respects” Rihanna’s privacy now but wasn’t too upright when he put those horns on her head (like her forehead needed any help in the first place).

The look- If looks could kill, Larry King would be dead. Chris was burning a hole through him like he wanted to add Larry to his list of K.O.’s.

Romeo and Juliet- Last time I checked, Romeo did not WHOMP! on Juliet.

Interview Grade- F. He can play like he meant it, but I think we all know what’s what. He’s officially in the same category as Ike and Bobby. Chris, you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. NEXT!

    Haahahaha@Romeo and Juliet I caught that too and I dont remember Romeo smashin Julia upside her head either otherwise that five act story wouldve been cut to 2 scenes long on account of Romeo gettin decapitated early on. * Chris might as well not even shown up with all those vague and stand-offish answers he gave about the incident. I wasnt quite sure why he even agreed to come on if he was gon sit there and play mute…? *Roxanne*

    LMAO u are on point Alyssa!!!! I LOVE ur pov…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chriswife20/ chriswife20

    he was just comparing them to romeo and Juliet talking about there young love and i think that people was just sitting around waiting for there relationship to mess up so they can have something to talk about its sad how people attacked him but don’t attack the men or women that do this daily and how people that kill there kid and other crazy thing get off easy and get a pat on there back but everyone wants to attack Chris for a mistake that was between him and Rhianna not the world people get a life and he still gonna have his fame and fans and thats all that matters

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Clayton_Powell/ Clayton_Powell

    i watched the interview…i hadta turn it off. Idk whether it was because his lawyer was there or what, but he was like “I have no misjudgements about the Judge’s decision” or somethin like that…it seemed like he was there more for salvagin what he could than for real insight and a heartfelt apology, wordup tho.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/shesoul/ shesoul

    Get over it already. Move on and find something better to talk about. The man said sorry and pleaded guilty. Yet people won’t let it die. There is alot more going on and wrong with this world then beating this topic to death. Bury it please. The only person that ever lived after death is Jesus himself.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/flyfisher_20750/ flyfisher_20750

    Well, you got all the same points I got down after watching that waste of time confessional/denial, or whatever it was. Sybill, on tom Joiner said the other day, that she believed Chris Brown needed a mentor along the lines of Tony Dungy to help straighten him out (I’d have said Dungy or Bill Cosby). He definitely needs some male role model, other than Diddy or Jay-Z (who AREN’T) to guide him through this part of his life. He has to truly GET IT, that he beat up Rhianna and there are very serious consequences for putting your hands on a young lady in that fashion. Until then,there’s no reason to buy his CDs, go to his concerts, or otherwise support his career.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/fireNwater/ fireNwater

    Why are so many females supporting Chris Brown? …I guess the African proverb is right…..”Beat your wife regularly; if you don’t know why, she will”. He can be forgiven….but look at all the little kids that were fans too…role model?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/toodelicious4u/ toodelicious4u

    It’s not even about us supporting him! It’s about leaving this situation behind us! This incident has been talked about long enough plus nobody knows the entire story! I’m not saying that its ok for a man to hit a woman but, I have seen situations when a woman has provoked a man to hit her! Chris already knows that he was wrong so lets move on and talk about some s**t that we don’t already know!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LightnThick/ LightnThick

    I’m sick of this Chris n Rihanna mess.. Couples fight everyday.. Wat makes them so special? She’s not goin hard which leads me 2 believe she’s guilty of something.. She’s not as innocent as the media makes out..Kno one knows wat really happened we weren’t there.. Give it a break it happened wats done is done.. I really don’t care for either of them but 2 keep hearing this is sickening..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chooseylover_1/ chooseylover_1

    “CHRISWIFE20″, you SOUND IGNORANT as all outdoors. There were no people “waiting for their relationship to mess up, and even if there were, noone told him to beat the hell out of her!, There ARE No people that get off the hook for beating their spouses or their kids, let alone “killing their kids and getting a pat on the back”, as you put it. You sound stupid as hell, and you must be one of his “fans”, that will still support this piece of s**t dude just because you want to shake your little hot ass to a new song. If someone put their hands on my daughter, i would be in court for manslaughter. You are obviously young and have a lot to learn about life. F**k chris brown, and anyone else that wants to be down with him. If any average person did what he did to her, their ass would still be locked up right now. Can’t believe all these stupid ass women are taking his side. YO PROBABLY DIDN’T SEE THE BULLS**T INTERVIEW DID YOU? Dumb ass probably don’t know what channel larry king is on, you just watch BET ALL DAY.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/PRTYBRN/ PRTYBRN

    I didn’t watch the interview because the whole situation is played. The only person he needed to apologize to was Rihanna so I do not understand why people feel the need to continue discussing this.

    @LightnThick, shesoul, and toodelicious4u: I’m co-signing.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/cp_miller2003/ cp_miller2003

    Man people need to leave Chris Brown alone. THat dude has already apologized 100 times, what, you guys want him to apologize 1 more time? Helll nah, yeah he was wrong but damn, he was a little kid. I’m not saying what he did was right but we keep forgetting that Riri was in the wrong on this too. As a matter of fact, the reason why she wasn’t trying to press charges is because she laid hands on him first. Again, he still shouldnt’ have hit her, but how many young men his age would have fell into that trap and laid hands on her? probably alot. You already knwo this girl has a temper, she was jealous, and she from the islands? Please, Chris probably snapped after being punch in the face so many times. So I think she needs to learn not to put her hands on ppl. And for all you slow ppl who going to say Chris still shouldnt’ have touched her, for the 3rd time, i’m not saying what he did was right, but i’m saying Riri, keep your hands to yourself.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TasteeFlavas/ TasteeFlavas

    Ok first @ fireNwater. . . I have never heard any saying like that. If my husband hit me regularly he’d have regular stab wounds, lol. It’s not that I support Chris or Ri Ri, I’m just a strong believer in that whole 3 sides to everything logic. I mean let’s face it only 3 people REALLY know what happened that night him her & God. The fact is ENOUGH ALREADY! I’m as a lot of people are tried of hearing about this.

    @ flyfisher_20750. . . He does need a GOOD mentor but lets face it his record sells will be down but these teenie boppers are not gonna stop buy his albums and what not. Lets look at who you compared him to, Ike Turner: Ike was nothing without Tina. When she got strong enough to leave him, that’s when his career fell off, it took her leaving & not the fact that he beat her. As far as Bobby Brown he had been in the news for assault for a while and his career was fine. . .it wasn’t the assaults that killed his career it was the CRACK!!!!!!!!!

    But the bottom line is that enough is enough, their are so many other things that should be at the fore front of entertainment news besides these two(who in my opinion still love each other. . .why else would they be together months later @ Diddy’s house like this crap never happened). . .

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/5KILLS/ 5KILLS

    I agree with LightnThick when she said rihanna isn’t going hard, we all have no clue exactly of what happen and this is getting tiring to hear all the time;those who did see the interview the first words that came out of his and his mother mouth was that the picture was altered I even believe it was to come on now theres no way anybody could do all that damage and driving a DAMN LAMBO be honest with yourself. Throughout that whole interview Larry King was trying to make him sound like Jekyell and Hyde all over again.You could tell he really didnt do it cause when the question came about him loving her you seen the sincerity in his eyes and if he didnt love her he would have said HELL NO!!!! in a heart beat without even thinking. Look Chris has his whole life to never make this mistake again let it go wahat was done is done already there’s always tomorrow!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SoCo_Nes12/ SoCo_Nes12

    Of course he can’t talk about the incident cuz dur, he already went to Court and if there was something that was said that he had said falsely in front of the Judge, he would be back in Court for more charges. It would be his side anyway and there’s always three sides to a story: his/hers/and the truth. They should’ve gotten Keyshia Cole to interview him cuz she would’ve gotten s**t off her chest just like she did her mom’s on the first season of her show. She didn’t let her mom get away with anything and didn’t want to hear any excuses.

    Besides, what more do you want to know? To me it was fight between a couple, for some odd reason she just let him hit her all those times it happened in the car. They tried to work it out a few weeks later or whatever but they clearly shouldn’t be together.

    Rihanna should js stick to modeling cuz Chris B was doing his thing before that incident happend and now his career has to start all over again and they got the said “Victim” on somehigh like she’s the only female that’s been hit before. What she should do if she really cared is speak to groups about abuse to help herself as well as though that get hit ALL the time say they ain’t gonna put up with it anymore. Than she needs to take some fighting classes on how to knowck a mofo out so if it happens again, she’ll knock some sense into dude!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bacardipaul2/ bacardipaul2

    Boy am I gonna be alone on this one..
    I believe Chris’ apology. Sure the Romeo & Juliet thing can be dis-assembled.
    But if any of you who are or have been involved in some way weather a victim,victimizer,…witness ( as a child ) Then you know those things can be complicated for various reason’s. I myself was a Chris Brown if you will. I make no excuse for my actions,yet I learned as I got older.If I have to fight with some one to be with them then I don’t want to be with them. I was also a victim as well as an aggressor.He how ever is still a young man growing…learning. Now I don’t know all the circ**stances, but I do know one or two things that could have been his down fall. 1 he was drunk: which some will say is no excuse.Well I learned in my alcohol abuse class that there are periods known as “Black out” periods. Research it for your self. Now I know some of you may say ” nigga” you ramblin about nothin’” Thats cool. But when you say he needs to seek help.And one of the causes of Chris & Rhina’s fight was because they were out drinking…alcohol does impare your judgement. If it doesn’t then tell that to anyone who lost a loved one to a drunk driver.
    Lil man made a big mistake. If she forgives him…Why does it bother you?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Hunter167/ Hunter167

    Unfortunately, no one really knows what happen! So we all need to take a step back! I have two daughters and one thing I teach them is to no hit/provoke a man. I would go beserk if one of my daughters was slapped/beat/pushed….you get the picture! However, I know people that are familiar with the situation and they have informed me that Rihanna was always insulting him, provoking him and sometimes openly slapping him. She was known to be very aggressive with him! Why don’t people talk about that! I personally was involved with a woman, a carribean woman I might add, who swung on me, verbally abused me and antagonized me into physical altercations all the time; she even went so far as to slap me in my house! With that said, if I would have retaliated, I would have been arrested or even worse, at war with her family. I get tired of the way Black Men are castrated by the media outlets and court system and our women sit around and foster this castration with cheers of glee! Unfortunately, this is why the black family is in the sad state it is in….61% of Black adult are not married, over 50% of Black males in NYC are not working (This is just one major Metropolitan area) 65% of Black children grow up in single parent homes, 800K Black men in prison….I am going to stop with the statistics because I can’t take it!
    Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot of abuse in relationships these days that is instigated by men, but, its not always the men that are at the foundation of that abuse! Lastly, Chris Brown is Stupid…he should have been left Rihanna! Once she started getting physical, he should have left! There are a lot of women that he could have been with w/o the drama!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/suppersweet2003/ suppersweet2003

    Hello everyone

    I can understand why Mr. Brown may have trouble answeing any questions regarding the incident. It is a difficult time in his life. As a child he saw his mother being abused, and I am sure he told him that he would treat a women like that. But now he finds himself begining an abuser. Look you do not know how he feels inside. We all put on a face when we go out in the world to cover up the hurt or disappointment we feel inside. You can say whatever you want about the boy no meaning what he said, he just want his career back on track, he is trying to sell his new CD. Bottomline we are not GOD so we do not know how he feels and we have no room to judge.
    Just Pray for both Chris and Rihanna that they never experience this again. Pray they will go and get the help they need to overcome this incident.

    If these people were not famous I wonder if we will put so much into it? And the answer is No.
    There are so many shelters in the nation for abused women. What are we doing for them?
    Sometime we say ” that is what they get” in so many words. She knew he was abusive but she stayed with that man, she must have made him mad? every now and than women need to be grabbed up to keep them in line. WE has a society we send out mix messages on domestic volience.

    This happened like how long ago?? I swear ppl love to point the finger and show others faults while keeping their own faults hidden. We just LOVE to talk about ppl as we are just so squeaky clean…OH PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK! Y’all act like this is 1st time something like this has happened. Y’all act like celebs can do NO wrong, yet we forget they too are just like us. They have issues just like we do (some more than others of course). The only thing I will say to the author of this article is, “Let he (or she) who is WITHOUT sin cast the 1st stone”. And I’m done!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rene1953/ rene1953

    First of all I think the young lady (pleasantly_cha0tic) said it all. These people are just as human as us. Should no man has any business putting his hands on a woman but sometimes some women tend to talk to much. I believe Rihanna probably wouldn’t shut up so she got slapped. It’s wrong but sometimes like her you put yourself in that kind of situation. I don’t think Chris was alone in his action I believe she had a let to do with it too. I use to have a lot of respect of Jay-Z until I saw that video of him pushing the head of that young woman in Africa and taking her camera. So he really can’t say to much either. I think she asked for it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/dabiggirlmascot/ dabiggirlmascot

    FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY PLEASE LEAVE THAT MAN ALONE. EVERYBODY ACTS LIKE CHRIS BROWN IS THE FIRST MAN TO HIT A WOMAN. HE IS NOT AND HE WILL SURELY NOT BE THE LAST. HE MADE A MISTAKE AND PEOPLE KEEP SAYING HE IS NOT SINCERE THINK ABOUT THE SO MANY AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN THROUGH THE YEARS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THEIR MOTHER GETTING BEAT UP FOR SO MANY YEAR OR HAVE BEEN THROUGH ANYTHING TRAMATIC IN THEIR LIFE BECOME NUMB AND THEY DON’T HAVE ANY EMOTION. I BELIEVE THAT HE IS BEING AS SINCERE AS POSSIBLE AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO LET THIS GO.

    TO CHRIS BROWN KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. I HOPE THAT THESE PEOPLE LEAVE YOU ALONE AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO HARRASS. AND TO RIHANNA I AM SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU. I THINK YOU NEED TO GET THERAPY SO THAT YOU CAN GET INTO HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIPS. AND TO BOTH RIHANNA AND CHRIS YOU TWO NEED TO WORK ON YOURSELF BEFORE YOU GET INTO ANYMORE RELATIONSHIPS. BECOME MATURED TO SELF BEFORE YOU LET SOMEONE ELSE EXPERIENCE YOU. MUCH LOVE, DABIGGIRLMASCOT

If he doesn’t want to answer questions about the incident then guess what? HE DOESN’T HAVE TO BECAUSE IT’S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS! The man apologized! Damn he made a mistake! OMG I guess young famous people aren’t allowed to do that! You people are f**kin crazy. And whoever wrote this article needs to get a life!

    How could people judge a young man’s mistake like they neva did anything horrible in there life. We are quick to judge folks and not look @ ourselves. Only God can Judge him not us. Just to add….Some of us has been in worser situations and made crazy decisions. So stop looking, pointing, judging and start forgiving because u neva know when ur time may come. God bless you all. There is not one perfect person on this earth. Not you or me.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/whozdatladyE/ whozdatladyE

    zones of beaches!!! Why would he even want to publicize whatever it was that happened and whatever apology, forgive & forget should be between GOD~CHRIS BROWN~RIHANNA. “FORGIVE OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US” OR “FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS, AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS” OR “FORGIVE US FOR DOING WRONG, AS WE FORGIVE OTHERS” DID I MISS THE ARTICLE WHERE CHRIS BROWN DID SOMETHING TO YOU PERSONALLY THAT WARRANTS YOUR FORGIVENESS? THEN PLEASE RE-RUN IT SO THAT I CAN COMMENT ON THAT AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every publicity stunt that these “producers” put together will not work out. This is one of them. Look at his face on these pictures. It is not that much acting in the world to act like he was really with her and her alone at his age and in his business. It’s unbelieveable! Find another story to keep our interest. This one has run it’s course. The only reason that I am responding with now is that I did not watch the Larry King Live show with Chris Brown because that was more publicity and damage control for his career that you are trying to kill.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/composer51/ composer51

    First of all, yes, none of us are perfect—-however, I am personally distressed about this incident for several reasons:

    One, I am a father of a beautiful daughter—and if I was Rihanna’s Daddy, Chris would not be alive today—believe that!!!

    Two, obviously, Chris has some inner demons—and yes, we all do—but we all don’t go around punching out people, girfriends, or whatever because we can’t handle our “inner demons.”

    Three, why is it that our young men seem to try to live out these unrealistic roles they see in the media—I probably shouldn’t cast my comments toward the media as a possible indirect reason for Chris’ problems, but I’m going to do it anyway. Of course, there are other social/personal issues that are apparent here as well.

    Look, here’s the bottom line—-keep your damned hands to yourself, Chris and everybody else. And if you feel like punching on something to take out your anger, go to a damned Gold’s Gym or buy a heavy bag like the professional boxers use—I’m sure you can afford one.

    And to everybody else who will probably hate me for writing this, please understand that I really do understand you—but it’s not about the fact that we are all sinful and have made mistakes. This young man has problems and does need help and prayer—-

    But he also needs to find a man to punch on—and Chris, if you read this—if you can’t affort that heavy bag or a membership to Gold’s Gym, look me up, and I’ll be glad to go a few rounds with you to keep you from punching somebody else’s daughter.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GAPEACH1966/ GAPEACH1966

    Speak for you when you say everybody hates Chris, this is not a tv show this is his real life…Chris Brown has given me any reason to hate him…Chris Brown not the first person to make a mistake and surely will not be the last…and he don’t owe me nor you an apology…it’s left up to Rhianna if she want to forgive him, after all she the one he hit…Hopefully he has learned to keep his hands to self…I think he gonna be alright if people like you stop trying to demonize him and destroy him and his career…No I pray he will be alright and come back better than ever…

    I read about pastor Juanita Bynum being attacked in a parking lot by her husband, Bishop Weeks. It was reported that he beat, choked and stomped her…Juanita Bynum Forgives Her Bishop Husband Following the Attack…a man of god…

    Bebe Winans’ was charged with domestic assault against his wife Cece…a man of god…are men who hide behind the bible the only ones who should be forgiven?

    Of these three men Chris is the only one seeking to change as far as I’m concerned and showing some kind of remorse for his actions…he openly admits he made a mistake and feels sorry for his actions…I don’t know if he sorry for what he did or sorry he got caught, only he know that…However, I think talking about this thing and admitting to it and seeking help is a true road to recovery…Chris Brown gonna be alright…

    Now the other two are hiding behind god, I suppose all the christian will support them and are forgiving of the actions of Bishop Weeks and support his wife for forgiving him, did he make a statement in reference to his actions? Or is it ok for the preacher man and the gospel singer to lay hands all up side the head of their wife when ever they want…all while Chris is being used for a modern day witch hunt…

THERE R PLENTY OF FAMOUS PEOPLE THAT FIGHT EACH OTHER THAT IS NOT EVEN PUT N THE NEWS CAUSE THEY KNOW HOW 2 KEEP THEIR SH.T PRIVATE! LET THESE 2 MOVE ON AND LEARN FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE. HELL IF TINA TURNER, ROBIN GIVENS, AND OTHER WOMEN CAN MOVE ON AND HAVE A GREAT LIFE SO CAN RIHANNA AND CHRIS. ITS AMAZING HOW PEOPLE JUDGE WHAT OTHERS DO, BUT NEVER DO NOTHING ABOUT THEIR OWN SITUATION.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bigj97216/ bigj97216

    @composer51 I’m with you on this except I would add it is not a mistake when a man beats a woman. And if some of you delusional people could pull your head out you would know this is not the first time for Chris it is a pattern. What puzzles me is some of you act like you know Chris Brown, you know his heart, his motivations. He does not care about any of you. I only comment on this story because domestic violence is a cause of mine, domestic violence can be emotional violence also Perpetrators of DV have a personality disorder. How do I know you ask? Be cause I’ve studied and taught DV, anger management classes and I grew up in a home with DV and have experienced it myself.
    To those of you who say forgive and forget I wonder where that comes from, is that what you tell your significant other? FYI Forgive and forget is not in the Bible. Chris Brown needs professional help, I hope he gets it.

    How many of you all did STUPID and I mean STUPI things when you were in your twenties. Some of you are still doing stupid things, like the writer of this story. Ok, so you have to make a living – why not make a living with true journalism, instead of smut, AND I BET THE IDIOT IS BLACK TOO. It saddens me that we are so quick to hang people out to dry. You don’t know that boy! This nation has a poor history of loving and forgiving people. He’s a young boy, who has no prior history of violence, and you nor I have no idea what took place in that car – stories change. And if the girl can forgive him, then that’s that. And like SmilinMJ said – IT’S NONE OF OUR BIZNESS!!!!!!!!!!! If you’re truly interested in making comments, post the foolishness that’s going on in your life, and let America take a few shots at you. I guarantee you won’t be to quick to open your mouth in the future. Oh wait, what future – after we hear about your pathetic life – you won’t have much of a future. Just thought you idiots who are always in other people’s business should know. GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ShaQuana-Tasha/ ShaQuana-Tasha

    I don’t understand why all you people keep talking all this crap about forgiveness. Hell, some of yall have grudges against people from years ago about things that aren’t even worth being mad about. Before you guys speak on forgiveness so swiftly go home & forgive the people in your lives & stop being petty.

    Secondly how can anyone of you speak on the situation as if it was nothing. Chris Brown beat Rihanna! That is serious! No man has the right to put his hands on a woman no matter what happened. I wonder why some of you are oh so for forgivness now? Is it because of his music? Is it because of his looks or his boyish charm? I don’t care about any of that stuff. Domestic violence is wrong & I refuse to support anyone who partakes in it

    Thirdly Ive seen domestic violence from both sides. Ive seen my mother be abused by a man & Ive seen my father abuse women. Just becuase a person had been around abuse doesnt mean they have the right to become an abuser! Thats a poor excuse & a cop out. Everyone is responsible for their actions & for his actions he has distroyed his career.

    Chris brown isn’t even man enough to admit what he has done. He continues to apologize to his fans but what about the woman he put his hands on?! Ive never once heard him apologize to her! If you ask me he isnt sorry at all or his action towards her. He’s sorry that his actions ruined his reputation & career. Its sad & he really does need help

Anytime a woman says sh*t like “she probley made him do”, “everyone makes mistakes” or “people fight all the time” obviously have serious mental & emotional issues. It doesn’t matter what person does or says, violence is NEVER acceptable. If she was all in his face, being abusive towards him or cursing him out he should have did everything in his power to get away from her. Hitting her was wrong point blank period

    I also want to know when did women find domestic violence to be a normal part of a relationship?! Thats by no means normal or healthy for that matter. If a man is putting his hands on you he doesn’t love you. The post by these women are really sickning.

    No disrespect to anyone in this thread. We all have opinions as individuals right… Well, why disrespect another person’s opinion because it isn’t the same as yours. Just because one’s opinion is the complete opposite of yours doesn’t mean they’re “senseless” or “idiotic” as some of you stated. I’m not even going to comment on Chris’ apology or anything that he’s done in the past. But I’m sure whomever wrote this article is really loving what they’re seeing right now. Just another way to make black people clash. I’ve seen someone state that there are many more issues than this going on. Well, one issue that I’m seeing in this very thread is illiteracy. Another is incorrect grammar. I’m not saying that we all should be English majors or spelling bee champions BUT, we’re arguing over something that has nothing to do with any of us. What’s even crazier, is that some of you would be fighting over some of these harsh comments that I’m seeing throughout this thread. We can’t even stop violence among black in the streets. Now we’ve resorted to fighting amongst one another via internet. I’m not trying to belittle anyone or make them feel inferior. But, I know we all have more important things going with our lives at the moment. If you feel, in any way disrespected, I apologize. However, I hope I’ve given some of you something to think about. As black people, I love you all. PEACE.

    Once again, it is time to address some things. NO ONE was there at the time of the incident between Rihanna and Chris Brown, no im not saying it didn’t happen, so calm down. In reference to him saying he doesn’t recall the incident, easily suggests he blacked out. It was a senseless mishap. On the other hand, who wouldn’t get frustrated and annoyed when being asked the same questions over and over again, by so many people, some of which already know the story in its entirety. Let’s be real here. There hasn’t been one incident in Chris Browns name before he had a “thing” with Rihanna. No, im not suggesting she is the cause of it all, but wouldn’t you suspect something of the sort when a young man, all of 20, who comes into the celebrity world who can sing and dance just so happens to beat upon his girlfriend for reason unknown? Come on now. Even the writter has said herself, she wouldn’t have expected this from someone such as Chris Brown. In actual fact, no one would have. All of these black on black situations only make us look worse. We’re already thought of as a low race, so why prove all who think this right? All of this talk about Chris Brown and Rihanna needs to come to an end. It’s old and tired. He was in the wrong, he knows this. She didn’t die, she went to six flags. Let’s go about our way now, and leave Chris Brown to live his life please. Thank you.

    Give it a rest! I am sick to death of the vilification of this young boy, and yes I said boy. Barely adult. None of us were there and know what happened. It is none of our business but everyone loves GOSSIP and wants all of the details. Maybe he is protecting Rihana. Like I said no one but them know and they ain’t talking neither one.

    I have worked in the Mental Health field for almost 40 years, There are women who will do anything to force a fight to bolster their security in a relationship. No one knows or will until BOTH of them want to reveal it for whatever reason. I sure do not hear anyone bad mouthing Rihana for not telling!!!!!

    Give it a rest and let this young kid try and get his life together, learn and grow! He made a mistake but as had been said NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED so let it go and move on to some other issue.

    I too have been a victim of domestic violence so I understand the hurt and turmoil it can bring to all involved lifes. But this has been going on too long with Chris. This young man who was probably experiencing some feelings for Rhianna he never felt before for a woman. A somewhat “grown young woman” seeing as how women mature earlier than men. So she starts tripping and gets mad he then gets mad, he loves her, she loves him. They make a cute couple their young with prospering careers. And when the public jumps in or the media jumps in, the lives of two young adults become their business. That is more than enough now, he can’t even talk to her through 3rd person! That’s sad, she misses him so much, you can tell. It’s looks like she’s just going through the motions…to me at least.

    If he wants to rebuild his carreer ( and I think that its possible) he must stop the bulls**t . He must first fire his whole PR people cause they have been f-ing up from the get green, secondly he should take responsibility for his actions and stop acting like it was not him who did this (he can do it because the public is very forgiving.) Go on Tyra tell the world what happend blow by blow , then talk about the abuse he saw growing up as a boy. Admit that he has a problem with repeating abuse and say that he wants to become an advocate for teen domestic abuse that includes: him talking with young boys, creating a charity that goes to highschools and counsels and helps young men who have been charged with or in domestic squabbles with their girlfriends. This move will not only clear the air but it will show that he takes what he did seriously and is working to alter his behaivor and use his celebrity to help others. In regards to his carreer musically he has to put it on the back burner. But that doesen’t mean he can’t make moves… He can create a doc**entary or a reality show for MTV (maybe with Dr. Drew) that shows him going into a rehab center for a while and geting the help he needs and shows him talking to young boys about his experiences with abuse. This show will get a hell of alot of PR and show him improving. Lastly after he finishes, he should get more into acting, the roles will come rolling in when he gets real help, he has proven himself to be a good actor and this will transmit him from a teeny bobber to a grown mature man if he picks the right roles. After a while with being a spokeman and an actor I would wait until his probation is finished before I would let him do another album. And that my dear is a PLAN.

    I agree w/all that said enough of bring this young man, This good girl gone bad, wanted to be bad before she met Chris! this girl admited to wanting to be a bad girl? He all so was hit and kicked and scrached, we know how we can get, when we think we are right? If you think about it He could have done more than two or three hits! But he needs to know if you have to hit a women to make her behave you have to walk away, it can be hard at time, but in the long run, you will see it was worth it.
    I would love to hear wisdom, Knowledge and understanding given to this Young Man! How will he know how to be a Man if he is not taught? What example is he given, we must get on our jobs and make a way for Our Young Black Men! They must be taught how to be a Man! He also came out to be a role model for young black men! to help us moms that don’t have a Male figure in our homes, I have much love and respect for this young man! Help him back up if you think he fell down!

    In the United States and around the world there are a huge number of cases where men have brutally attacked and even killed their spouse. There are some cases where women are abusive but in most cases it’s the man who is abusive.

    Please no more praising Chris Brown! No one hates him but the fact is that he brutally beat a woman and now he wants to make excuses. I don’t remember chocking and beating this woman and my mother was beat so that’s why I did it. He does not even take what he did seriously, jus look at the interview on Larry King it was a joke and made him look like a liar. EXCUSES!!
    I wonder if the women and men here who are okay with this, will forgive someone who steals, attacks, rapes, or kills them or someone in their family as easily as they think Chris should be? You people are basically saying just take it and forgive the person who assaults you.

    So we should persecute Rihanna for not telling anyone that her boyfriend is beaten on her this sounds ridicules. I do agree that sisters need to be stronger, wiser and stop accepting and dealing any type of brother that comes your way.

    Too many men and women make excuses as to why the men? Don’t take care of their responsibilities, have numerous kids, don’t work or go to school, or beat their spouse.

    Like President Obama, Bill Cosby and people on Black in America said no more excuses. Step up and start acting like a responsible person who has some common sense. I know women that have been beaten and many men who don’t take care of business. No more excuses for them. If you are not part of the solution the you are part of the problem.
    NO MORE JODY’S and NO MORE BABY BOYS!

    i must hav saw a different interview…he said he was sorry and obviously he said it right to the person who counts RIHANNA cuz she was livin it up with him when she had people around her that would hav made sure he never went near her again with on word…and if you look back on the interview carefully larry kept asking the same questions sometimes in different ways thas y they werent answered and why would he answering those questions would hav been like beating her again…if she chooses to talk about it thas her but is respectful of her not to talk IT IS NOT OUR BUSINESS TO GET DETAILS….if he isnt given a chance to prove himself then thas throwing him under the bus….wus funny is how many of us have done things to hurt people that we wouldnt want hung over our heads…STOP PLAYING GOD

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/PermanentBlack/ PermanentBlack

    Sad, sad that people will watch anything on tv and believe it 100% without questioning anything. The only thing the public knows is what the media tells us. We have no idea what really went on. Sure the interview wasn’t what we all would have liked to see or expected. His answers to questions were less then desired. But maybe he just wants to get it over with. Maybe he is tired of all the questions and apologizing. Everybody is quick to point the finger at someone else without knowing the true story behind what’s really going on. Everyone is blinded by the media. I don’t believe a women should be hit, but until you know what the women did to provoke it. The story will always be one sided.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sylkiifeather/ sylkiifeather

    WELL, NONE OF US WAS THERE SO WHO KNOWS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AND WHY IT HAPPENED. FOR ALL WE KNOW, RIHANNA COULD HAVE BEEN THE ABUSIVE ONE IN THE RELATIONSHIP…SHE COULD HAVE COME AT HIM WITH A KNIFE AND HE HAD TO RESORT TO BEATING DAT *SS LOL. JUST MY CRAZY MIND WORKING. BUT POINT IS, WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE IF WE DONT KNOW THE SITUATION. NOW OF COURSE ITS WRONG TO ABUSE SOMEBODY. THATS NO JOKE. BUT WHO CARES IF HIS APOLOGY SOUNDS SINCERE TO YOU. NOBODY KNOWS HIS HEART, SO YOU CANT JUDGE THAT EITHER. ITS LIKE HE IS SCREWED EITHER WAY. HE HAS TO APOLOGIZE, BUT THEN WHEN HE DOES HE IS CALLED FAKE LOL. BUT OVERALL, THIS STORY IS OLD NOW…

    OKAY, I AM IN NO WAY CONDONING WHAT CHRIS DID, BUT I AM STILL A HUGE FAN OF HIM AND HIS MUSIC. I AM SO SICK OF THIS TOPIC. AND LET”S NOT FORGET PEOPLE, RIHANNA IS NOT ALL INNOCENT IN THIS MESS EITHER. EVERYONE FEELS SYMPATHY FOR HER B/C OF WHAT HE DID, AND I DO TOO. BUT EVERYONE IS JUST SO FOCUSED ON HATING CHRIS, THEY NOT SEEING RIHANNA’S PART IN THIS AT ALL AND THAT IS PISSING ME OFF.

    All I have to say for you fake a$$ people out there….

    Let Rihanna would have been their sister, mother, girlfriend etc…they wouldn’t have cared what the situation was. If they would have seen there loved one look like Rihanna did in that whoop a$$ pic they would have tried to kill Chris. I don’t need to say more do I?

I’m sure Chris nor Rihanna could careless what we’re doing or talking about right now. So, why should we? Like I said in recent post, just another way to make US clash…. Keep on clashing people, keep on clashing…

    I JUST WISH EVERYONE WOULD JUST LEAVE THIS MAN ALONE. EVERYONE WANTS TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE HE IS THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD BECAUSE HE IS A CELEBRITY AND HE WAS CAUGHT. THERE WERE MANY CELEBRITY MALES BEATING ON THEIR WIVES BUT, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT TOP STARS LIKE RHIANNA AND CHRIS THEY WERE NOT SCRUTINIZED LIKE THIS. IM NOT SAYING THAT HE IS NOT WRONG BUT I THINK EVERYONE IS GETTING A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY WITH THIS. HE IS NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT IS WRONG IN THIS SITUATION AND IT PROBABLY WASNT THE FIRST TIME. SO GET OVER YOURSELVES WITH ALL THIS LET ME JUDGE SOMETHING I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AND LET THAT MAN LIVE HIS LIFE.

    What he did was wrong. Yes, Yes it was. Still he is young and that is still no excuse as well, but he has alot to learn. Chris was going through that I’m the “S—” phase and the spotlight got to his head. I guess he figured I can do this because of who I am and everyone will still love me. Maybe he had that mentallity subcontiously mixed with the anger of whatever happened in that car or limo. We are all human and of the flesh.We sin and make mistakes, and the more popular you are the more your mistakes be analyzed. That’s the life he chose, and I’m sure was explained to him before he started his career. Now his career is determined by genuine responsibility and timing. I don’t know them from A to B, but I believe Riahhna and Chris argued over something that the even the public or even those close to them don’t know. He know he is famous and that the world is watching him and everything he do, so I believe it would take some serious issue for him to lift his hand to her. An issue that would hurt him, which resulted in vilance as defense or, maybe she slapped him, and he didn’t take it well.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kbneville/ kbneville

    Seriously, I’m sick of hearing about this. LET*IT*DIE already! I mean, I can see why he has to constantly say he’s sorry. It’s because he never can never live it down! There’s always somebody saying something about it, and if he DOESN’T say he’s sorry then people start crying bloody murder and saying that he’s not sorry for what happened.

    Tell me something, why didn’t anybody ever say too much when James Brown or Bobby Brown or any other famous celebs beat their women? I mean, it’s the same thing just different people. So do us all a favor and let it go already!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chris_poet/ chris_poet

    Its a damn shame that he put his hands on her like that. The nerve of him to treat her like a punching bag. lets face it his career is going down the toliet. I still think he got off easy, he should have done jail time. Let that been a average man to beat his woman up then they would have been in the slammer. Then she be a damn fool to want him back. See the lesson going to be learned the hard way cause he hit her once then he will do it again.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/KrayzeeBish/ KrayzeeBish

    Everybody is probably gonna hate me for this but please hear me out :
    Nobody knows exactly what led to him hitting her. Maybe she hit him too. Women usually get hit because they are trying to get hit. “Most” bring it on themselves by doing things they shouldnt be doing and testing mens emotions and saying things that they know will piss them off. I do it my self. Sometimes guys are boring or just being distant when you need some attention. Than the woman says crazy stuff which starts an argument than may even push or take a swing at the guy, knowing the whole time he may just haul off and punch a b***h. Than when she gets punched or smacked she runs off to go press charges or get one of her friends to beat his ass knowing that she started the whole situation. Honestly, do you think Chris Brown, being in the public eye would have done something that stupid without a good reason? I don’t, plus she isn’t a tiny girl. Look at those hands, they are twice the size of his. He should have punched her in the throat, maybe it would have given her a change in tone, god knows she needs it.

    All I have to say is that none of were there with them. If he lied he will one day have to answer to his maker the same way if she lied she has to answer for it. “Judge not least ye be judged.” We all have done things in the heat of the moment that we wish we could take back but we can’t. I say leave them both alone and let them have time to repair their lives and build their futures. People always saying how a woman doesn’t desrve to be hit, well neither does a man. LESSON: Keep your hands to yourself!!!!!!
