Chris Brown out of rehab

Welp, that didn’t take long. Troubled singer Chris Brown checked himself out of rehab earlier today, TMZ.com reports.

Brown, who was arrested in D.C. for assaulting a fan nearly 3 weeks ago, entered rehab for anger management issues. At the time, Brown said he was willing to spend 3 months in rehab. But Brown lasted only 16 days.

Coincidentally, Brown launched his new backpack collection today as well.

From TMZ.com:

Chris Brown is out of rehab … because he has something more pressing … community service.

TMZ first reported … Brown checked into a rehab facility for anger management 16 days ago … after a street brawl in Washington, D.C., in which he allegedly punched a guy in the face.

At the time … we were told Brown could be in rehab for up to 3 months — sources told us “The rehab facility has been told to take him [Brown] apart and put him back together.”

Now … a little more than two weeks after entering the program … Brown has checked out.

Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, tells TMZ his client needed to get out of the facility to start the community service he’s required to perform in the Rihanna case. As you may recall, the judge would not accept the hours Chris claimed he had done, and made him do it all over again.
