After Chris Brown’s less-than-stellar performance at last night’s MTV VMAs, everyone stood up and applauded — except for Jay Z.

According to TMZ.com, everyone from Kanye to Bieber stood up and cheered for CB. But Jay-Z, Amber Rose and most of the White people in the room stayed in their seats.

It was a stunning and powerful statement of their disapproval of Chris Brown.

Not everyone in Hollywood is willing to accept Brown back into the fold. Not just because of his immature actions in 2009, but for his behavior in the years afterwards as well.

Jay is the man who discovered Rihanna — and he still considers her a little sister. So, it was clear that Jay Z still isn’t willing to forgive and forget what happened when CB beat Rihanna down in 2009.

Kudos to Jay Z for being a REAL MAN and standing up for a woman, even though she doesn’t respect herself.
