Chris Brown’s mom Joyce Hawkins has issued a statement denying earlier reports that her son was replacing his management and legal team.
It’s interesting that Joyce didn’t directly address the rumors of Tina’s alleged inappropriate relationship with her son.
Also, TMZ reports that Brown’s attorney Mark Geragos has requested an unscheduled closed door hearing for Mar. 23.
As we told you earlier, Rihanna is expected to take the stand during Brown’s April 6 arraignment and take the full blame for the violent altercation between herself and Brown last month.
This despite the fact that she told police Brown was the aggressor and had threatened to kill her.

Chris Brown’s mother and co-manager tells Usmagazine.com there won’t be a change in his representation.
“Reports that Chris is looking to replace his team, including [lawyer] Mark Geragos, [manager] Tina Davis and [publicist] Mike Sitrick, are false,” Joyce Hawkins says in a statement. “There are only two people who could make a change at that level on Chris’ behalf: his business attorney Kenny Meiselas and me — and neither of us were the source of this information.”
The New York Post reported Thursday the singer — who was charged with two felonies after allegedly assaulting Rihanna — was “upset” with his whole team for not letting him apologize earlier.
TMZ.com also reported Wednesday that Brown was intimate with Davis, who is 20 years older, and that she sent him the three-page text message that instigated the attack — which she denied in a statement.
“To the contrary, Kenny told the media outlet that broke this item, that the information they had was false,” Hawkins continues. “So there is no room for doubt or misunderstanding, let me state unequivocally, that no change is planned or being made with respect to Mark Geragos, Tina Davis or Mike Sitrick. We are very pleased with the work they are doing.”
Brown is due to be arraigned April 6.
