Last night, singer Chris Brown recorded a message begging his fans to save his career. It seems the radio stations are still refusing to play his music following his conviction on domestic abuse charges for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Radio stations rightfully banned Brown’s music because of the sheer brutality of the attack and because of his actions afterward.
The lack of radio spins meant his album, Graffiti, which dropped in late 2009, was dead on arrival. The CD has only sold 260,000 copies to date.
What Chris Brown fails to understand is that he can’t put his hands on a woman and then go jet skiing in Florida. He can’t go on the Larry King show in a bow tie acting as if he is the victim. And he can’t blame the victim for making him hit her.
I refuse to post a link to Chris Brown’s pleas to save his career because I want him to go away quietly. I’m not using my blog to spread Chris Brown’s message to the few fans he has left. The time for him to beg forgiveness was the moment before he ran off into the night like a coward after kicking, biting, punching and slapping a defenseless female.
It was the viciousness of the attack that we can’t forgive. Buh bye, Chris.
He can still make a comeback. Sean Penn did after beating Madonna and Mystikal still has fans after raping a woman.
Rihanna’s actions were shady as well after the assualt. She come have become a spokeswoman for DV but instead she took topless photos and only gave a interview right before her album release.
Grafitti is a good CD if you like his music.
I’m glad I’ve been forgiven for the things I’ve done. Arent you @Sandra?
Good Morning.
We need to ban that picture. Good Morning all.
Everything that you do has repercussions & for beat her down brown it’s his career nose diving into non existence. He’s still young and could turn it around but he has a lot of maturing to do first.
All Chris needs is a NEW management & label!… He should just let TIME pass bye and start BRAND new!
@outside
I’m glad I’ve been forgiven for the things I’ve done. Arent you @Sandra?
I
But you will still have people that will always HATE him because of his past actions, but thats OK people HATED jesus! CB just put #GODFIRST
I hope Chris has a plan B like college or something. No guarantees in the music biz anyway. Anybody can fall off.
I hate seeing that ugly azz pic of her. It don’t even look like her! He’s paying for his mistake though. He will think twice next time he wanna raise his hand to a woman.
I would like to see him comeback, but he has to fire his whole PR team and managers and handlers or whoever. Plus I would like to see him not hang around the following:
1. Polo the Dit Wit
2. P. Dummy
He probably should get T.I.’s PR folks

And besides, Jesus died on the cross to forgive everybody from their sins.. Why cant we let this go?? Dont get me wrong, I dont justify his actions, but she clearly moved on.. Why cant he??
Damn Sandra, CB is a kid! That’s not excusing what he did but he did his service, I’m sure he repented, so can he move on from this?! You’re condemning him for the rest of his life for one mistake! Remember, ye who is without sin……
Him going to college would be a very good thing!
Maybe God don’t want him to be in the industry? Maybe there is something else he is supposed to be doing.
Chris Brown’s career is not dead, he just needs to go away for a looong time and give another celebrity a chance to fugg up worse than he did. Maybe send some 8balls to Lindsey Lohan to speed the process along. He was back in our faces too quickly, showing no obvious remorse and that’s why people don’t want to support him. He should’ve disappeared until this summer and grown a beard like the situation left him devastated, grafitti, would have been at least a #2. but its clear that Chris’ management hates him, hence the setup
Mystical did not make a comeback he only came out of jail and Sean Penn was never arrested for Madonna abuse, and unless Chris wants to wait 20 years for a comeback I suggest a different example

Sandra, you still listen to R.Kelly?
@mizzdallas, I co-sign! He needs to take a break for a while and come back even stronger. Time heals all wounds, people will forget and eventually forgive.
All of you saying he should be forgiven, you understand that most of us ain’t Jesus right? It takes time for forgiveness to happen with people we know & love dearly, so why do you think lite-bright should get an auto pass, when he’s not acting like he wants to be forgiven. I’ve seen the plea, and he almost acts like folks are crazy to be mad at him in the first place. umm No ninja, sitchoazz down and shut all that talking ish up. You back in our faces too soon.
Cosign @ Outside.
I like Chris’ album. I got one for myself and brought 2 more for other folks. He’s got my support. Team both, hell. They were both wrong.
Since Ike and Tina had a movie “What’s love got to do with it” I wonder what their title will be?? Any thoughts??
why you steal one of missy’s pics Sandra…lol
You really need to leave this boy alone. He messed up but he has paid for his mistakes and is trying to move forward. I hope this doesn’t turn into the SR posts of old about this issue because it’ll be like beating a dead horse.
He is just a sad case. What he did was wrong. I thought he was going to be a little b!tch at first not take responsibilities for his actions (given that he ran from the scene). Nonetheless, he accepted his punishment and is paying for the crime he committed. Stans/groupies/Rihanna Loathers, get on yall job and help him out. Yall are no where to be found, otherwise he wouldn’t have to beg…tsk tsk
Sandra get over it…Rihanna did, so should you. Tired of hearing about his career already. Rihanna has to get naked to sell records, and she didn’t even sell that many. So Chris will be alright.

I agree…
So are the stations not playing Wayne’s music because of his gun conviction? Or Gucci or TI? I mean if we’re going to do something, let’s be consistent across the board.
What comeback did R. Kelly make?? Beefing with Trey??
He needs to go away QUIETLY and work on himself. Then come back after a year or so. It’s too soon after the attack and people still remember.
I really get sick of people trying to act like Rihanna “provoked” him. There is NO EXCUSE! Chris is responsible for HIS OWN ACTIONS! Nevermind if Rihanna did hit him first. he could have stopped the car and got out or put her out. That just shows a lack of maturity.
I don’t know what to say about the NEW BROAD that he is with. She better keep her stun gun on her person at ALL times.
I’m not a fan of EITHER of their music, but I do like RihRih’s fashion and makeup at times.
@ outside box
so well said. so well said!!!!! even rhiana hates that picture and wishes it wasnt in the media as it was a private situation and here you go going against your favorite girls wishes.
CB is a convicted felon, so is TI and multiple times at that. do you think ti hasnt shaken the mess out of tiny at some point?????
WELL HE’S ALRIGHT WIT ME…..JUST THINK IF GOD HADNT DIED FOR OUR SINS WERE WE WOULD BE? YOU PPL NEED TO WAKE UP AND STOP JUDGEIN SO MUCH AND LOOK ATCHA OWN LIFE FOR A MIN
I have never been a fan of Chris Brown but I definitely feel it’s unfair to not play his music on the radio because of that one incident.
This punishment is deserved, but I have noticed a more harsh reaction to the transgressions of black male celebrities and athletes than for similar transgression of white male celebrities and athletes. So the question is America too lenient on the white celebrities or too harsh on the black celebrities? How would America have reacted if a white male entertainer jumped on stage and took the mic from Alicia Keys? How would America have reacted if Paula Pattons husband (white guy)choked and beat her up?
Plus he might need to beg the industry that he gave the middle finger to on twitter.
@rtb
To answer your question from yesterday…I made it through adolescence and young adulthood very carefully. My mother was a very good one until she lost her way for a minute. My father was locked up but I leaned on everything they taught me up to that point. Like y’all said, at somepoint you have tio let all that go and take responsibility for yourself. (Chris should do the same actually)
What CB did was wrong. We get that but we as blk ppl shouldn’t condemn our own. Instead we should embrace the young brotha and hopefully he steps away for awhile and grows up.
Chris made the CHOICE to make himself a statistic. He gets no sympathy from me. Radio is a business. They play what listeners WANT to hear. IF they are boycotting, then people haven’t noticed or they don’t care. No change in my NPR programming, so I’m good.
Chris, just take a break baby. Have we forgotton how much knowledge we lacked at 19, 20, 21….most of us werent even rich….we learned our lessons in a different way…he needs some of that ole time religion and new people!!!
I’m still a fan though.

I don’t think it’s the media or the American public, it’s the people that these people have around them. The average black artist will have their mom and cousin as their manager and talent agent. And they’ll get a deacon from their church to do their PR. A white artist is more likely to have their father as a chaperone and everyone else on their team is a paid professional.
That’s why Ben Rothlisberger has been accused of sexual assault twice in 2 years and you barely hear ish about it, but PacMan Jones gets in a bar brawl & gets suspended. Ben has better people.
I feel bad for Chris. It’s been a year in this is still going on. I don’t see CBS pulling two and a half men off air. Charlie sheen was arrested and charge with domestic violence.
Isnt Charlie Sheen still working on his family show on ABC,NBC, or one of those no black folks allowed stations?
Chris Browns career isnt dead, its in a coma……
I’m really tired of people putting Rihanna on this pedastal like a b&tch don’t deserve to get smacked the fu*k out everynow and then. THIS WAS NOT A CASE OF DOMESTIC ABUSE – IT WAS A FIGHT! Mofos get into fights every day but sometimes the streets need to handle the streets. This b*tch calls the police, and she knew what would happen when she did. YOU DON’T POINT A GUN IF YOU DON’T WANT TO USE IT AND YOU DON’T CALL THE POLICE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO RUIN SOMEONE’S LIFE!
@vibaby yes he is (charlie)
It’s hard to forgive someone who shows absolutely no remorse. I’ve never particularly cared for Chris Brown as a performer, but he definitely needs a better PR team. He is coming across as pretty arrogant…

THANK YOU #thatisall And that ish got me so maddddddddddd
WOW!! That’s so sad that this is still being brought up…He has said sry so many times but yet ppl still wanna crucify him for something that happened a yr ago…
Im not gonna lie Graffiti, wasnt all that imo BUT I did like I can transform you & and that song was played non-stop down here…put out a good song and i will support it point blank
Chris needs a new management team and time away from the public…like many others have said come back with a banger and keep God first…he’ll be ok
DEAD @ ReadTheBlog I thought that I was the only one who thought losing a fight didnt make you a victim. :lolol:
Thats why I dont fluck with that frankenstein head bish either… yeah I said it. Mike Epps said it first, be mad at him. :lolol:
Its not even about what chris did anymore….its who he did it too
I got nuthing but luv for the kid.
I bet when Charlie case over he’s not going to be a felon.
I find Sandra ridiculous at times when it comes to TI, I mean here is a GROWN ASS MAN!!! gets locked up over some gun charges and Sandra puts him on a pedestal like he can’t do any wrong. Chris while what he did is not excusable is a young man. A lot of young couples go through similar experience, while it may not be right, it happens and Chris and Rihanna are human. Give the boy a break just as you give TI, Tiny and all of those other ATL hood rats you’re obsessed with Sandra.
Princess Smarty,
See, parents should know that ‘yes, we do listen’!

I do believe that people should be forgiven and can change. But, that comes on the back of showing you have changed and know you did wrong. Chris Brown showed a lack of remorse after the incident from the public’s viewpoint. Regardless of whether it was under the advice of his management or not, the damage is done. That’s why people can’t forgive him. He’s still out and about. How can we miss you if you don’t go away??? I’m not saying…I’m just saying…
I truly disagree with his actions, no man should hit a woman. I think the radio stations are wrong for banning his music because if the spotlight shined on anyone of them I know everything wouldnt be squeaky clean. Now we all know that Rihanna used the incident to her advantage because Rihanna didnt have that much spotlight until after the incident. Its evident that she forgave him because if she didnt why did she go right back to him. I think her whole interview was to increase the sells in her crappy album. I dont see the hype in her and it appears that even though you dont like Beyonce @Sandra she is trying to be like her. Just stop for one minute and compare B’s (Video Phone) and Rihanna’s (Rude Boy) video. Whatcha get?
so wow, jay-z running around call women bitches and hoes. r kelly pissing on little girls. T.I infecting half the world with Herpes and is OBVIOUSLY very controlling of Tiny—I wouldn’t put it past that he beats her. I mean I just can’t. Ppl got these holier than thou attitudes about the wrong things. Like you have never fudged up. wow!

————————————————————–
Well lets see the difference in Charlie’s case
1. His wife all but recanted her story.
2. His wife stood by him in the ordeal and has said she wants to work it out
3. His wife didn’t have a scratch on her body
4. His wife is a crackhead… she went to rehab for addiction to CRACK.
5. Charlie excused himself from work immediately
6. Charlie kept his mouth shut
7. Charlie’s people didn’t put out false rumors about his wife causing the violence, because she hit him first
8. Charlie’s people did not put out false rumors that his wife infected him with an STD.
9. Charlie’s wife ain’t nobody, her career is Charlie’s wife & Denise Richard’s thorn.
Chris Brown made all the wrong moves post his incident and his people did too. He should’ve gone away and jet skiied on an indoor pool.
I can say Chris deserves to be forgiven because I have lived. I know what it’s like to do something you shouldn’t have done. To not be able to take it back. Live and little you’ll
eventually…or you will not have lived at all.
Who measures mistakes? Is his assault lower or higher than your abortion? Premarital sex? Weed smoking? Affairs? Tax cheating? Whatever you and yours hold dear? I wasn’t speaking in a biblical way (everyone isn’t a Christian after all)… I was thinking in a human way.
Also, he should have the camera men take pics of him at these DV classes and more pics of him doing community service. Maybe that will soften people’s heart a little.

@ReadTheBlog
From what was reported and the documentd 911 call, it wasn’t Rihanna who called. And what gun are you talking about? If he had a valid defense for beating her, he should’ve used it. I mean look at her face. You should have a damn good reason for doing that. But her reportedly checking his text messages is not one of them. It’s a b!tch move to beat her, bite her, and put her in a choke hold (according to the affidavit) because she checked some damn messages. Just b/c you remain quiet doesn’t mean that everything is going to turn out for the better.
Chris Brown is literally one hit from a comeback, all he needs is a great song. He was still trying to make kid music with a domestic v charge, his image needs to grow up, no more teeny bopping for him
These two situations are apples and oranges. Let’s examine:
Rihanna: brutally beaten, kicked, punched and went to the ER and had to wear shades and go in hiding until her wounds healed. DA practically had a “slam dunk” case.
Brooke: hmmm. got allegedly choked or threatened and called 911. Checked herself in REHAB within a couple days because she was so lit she wasn’t sure what happened. DA has nothing but “circumstantial” evidence.
Hardly the same thing. If there’s a problem with Charlie Sheen, the solution is simple…change the channel. You have a right to do that just as Chris’ folks have a right to forget about him.
The difference between Chris and Charlie is that Charlie is CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED to do so many shows. So, he HAS to be on set. People don’t HAVE to watch the show though. Chris has a contractual obligation unless released of it to record so many albums for his label and possibly to do so many shows. People can choose NOT to buy tickets, but he has to do what his contract says.
I’m not calling a radio station for Chris or buying a CD since I have never supported either one of these folks BEFORE their whole debacle. Yes, they were two kids at the time trying to be grown ups, but Chris should have had a better PR team and his LABEL should have made sure of that.
So, he should GO AWAY for a year or so. Get a NEW TEAM and work on his music. People will forget somewhat and may support him more. There is nothing about a begging grown man that appeals to me.
Go to school Chris and get an education in your down time that way in case you DON’T get the support, you can fall back on your DEGREE!
for education!
If Chris were smart, he’d get a hellified legal team and sue a lot of radio stations and their sponsors for discrimination, and ask for pain and suffering.
If he could prove that his records are not being played in certain markets where his records aren’t selling, he might have himself a little case and get some $ to boot

@ Outsidethebox
@KaraZ I understand what you are saying. Why can’t people let it go. Alot of other ppl did worse things then he did. and they were able to move pass that. I mean R kelly pissed on a child. the radio never stop playing his music.
s_johnson07, I used the gun as an example.
We all make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. Sometimes Nurses even lose their licenses due to patient medication errors and have to go through lengthy ordeals to have them reinstated. Everything happens for a reason.
this is so late….he has to do what he has to do. He apologized so many times and if Rihanna accepted his apology then people need to move on.its ok for R.kelly to piss on, screw, and video tape little teenage girls (isnt that child pornography) ?????
and the whole world knew about R.kelly’s infatuation with young teenage girls (i.e Aaliyah) but yet and still we all “believed we could fly” right along with R.kelly. Thats the problem with the industry today these artist are becoming more popular than their music. truth be told his Graffiti album was 20x’s better that Rihanna’s piece of shyt Rated R album , plus he’s a way better performer than most of the current artist out today male and female.
Hey Chris if you are reading all of our comments here at SandraRose, just go to college man, go get a degree in music or art or whatever else you like.
Go to College Man!
Somebody please explain to me Rhianna singing sh!t like “I need a Rude Boy” and somebody to beat it up.
But then she got the Rude Boy who beat it up but now he has the pay the price for it? I am confused.
If you want somebody that knock it out of the frame and does it …??
I am not so sure if I feel all that sorry for Rhi Rhi even though I don’t think a man should ever put his hands on a females unless she is trying to harm him
Chris’ career is not dead. He just needs to take a break for a while and really focus on his music. In a year or two, he could make a comeback.
@MzWilliams. People can and will forgive him and will forget the situtation. BUT THE NINJA NEEDS TO STFU AND DISAPPEAR FIRST! It’s hard to forget a beating, when you see the belt that did it everyday… it’s reopening the same wound every time you see it. If you don’t see it for a long time, the pain & memory isn’t so fresh. Eventually with enough time, you will go back to wearing the belt again, but time and space is needed.
I personally have not moved pass R.Kelly. I saw he tape, he’s a sick fcuk and I cannot spend my dollars to support him. And I know radio stations here didn’t play his music when he was indicted initially. After he won the case, they had no choice. Chris lost his case and it literally feels like it just happened because we see his goofy ass eeth every fugging place.
Chris’ mistakes did not stop with the beating, the public appearances looking happy as shy, the new girlfriends, the album 6 months after, they were all mistakes. He should’ve slinked away for at least 18months and come back looking a mess. Then people would look at him and say, damn he’s really broken up about this and then feel sorry for him. This little imp is demanding that folks get over it already… not a good look. anyways i’m done giving out free advice, he’s gonna have to pay me to help his azz.
it’s official dblaq is a fool
I still want to know why people think celebrities are twice removed from getting into ‘regular pinches’ like ‘regular people’. I think we need to stop giving these celebrites a false level of importance.
Nobody is above an ass-beating, be it on the way to the Grammys or on the way to the mall.

Wow just Wow. So I guess its ok to kick a biathes azz every now and then. And we wonder why da streets “is” so phucked up. Question, what is the difference between domestic abuse and a fight?
@KaraZ Yeah, he is a fool and I am
I had no idea that is what she said. I dont ever listen ot her….
Carlos Estavez..err..Charlie Sheen has a history of drug use and violence. He is also one of Hollywood’s “golden boys” because he is funny (Two and A Half Men is a good show) and talented. It’s is popularity that excuses his behavior.
CB is popular, but really if those photos had not been released showing Rihanna’s face I don’t think it would have gotten everyone’s attention.
I find it funny how this is still going on and it happened a year ago. Charlie Sheen just had a domestic violence issue with his wife, and I don’t see or hear about him being dragged through the mud. Hell, you got rappers catching gun charges left and right, and I recall a few having some assault charges over the years, but you don’t hear ish about it.
It is time to let this ish go. It shoulda stayed in 2009.
And Chris, if you are reading, Yes, go to school. Major in Fine Arts or Dance and education, Open a Juliard or an Alvin Ailey or something of the likes. YOU ALWAYS HAVE YOUR EDUCATION TO FALL BACK ON IF THE MUSIC HUSTLE DOESN’T WORK OUT.
Be encouraged!
I love how hypocritical people are. I don’t have a problem with people his actions over his head, but it kills me those same people are the ones twerking their behinds to other criminal’s music. Former drug dealers get deals and put tell alls in their music and that doesn’t stop these hypocrites from blasting it.

This statement couldn’t be more true! I am so over this situation. Rihanna seems to be doing just fine these days and if she is over it I don’t see why others can’t get past it. I do agree he needs to take a break, he came back way too soon. I wish Chris Brown all the best, he actually has talent unlike some of these new singers.
why does his career have to be over Charlie Sheen whips his wife and puts a knife to her neck! Goes back to work this week! But you mention nothing about that! If I wasn’t so got damn nosey I would come back to website! You are such a man basher Rihianna needed her ass kick! She looks violent!
I really don’t care about this story anymore just curious to know why people keep throwing R. Kelly under the bus.
Not saying what he did was right but the little girl in the case was down for it. He didn’t hold her down and rape her. And so what if he pissed on her. You’d be surprised how many people are into that. It has its own aisle in the porno shop.
Plus R Kelly kept his mouth shut till after it was all said and done. He let his music speak for him (step in the name of love).
Not defending him but these are two different “crimes”. One was violent & one wasn’t

Wow just Wow. So I guess its ok to kick a biathes azz every now and then. And we wonder why da streets “is” so phucked up. Question, what is the difference between domestic abuse and a fight?
———————————————
To some people the difference may be that DV is an ongoing abuse that starts off as emotional and then progresses to the physical. A “fight” is just a one time thing.
The reason, IMHO, that people were so quick to come to CB’s case is because we all know that one hoodrat chick that will start a fight with a dude and than call the police and cry wolf. It’s not different than a woman falsely crying rape. That is why it’s hard for actual victims of both rape and DV to come forward: they are afraid people will not believe them because of other’s lies. Rihanna didnt help her case either because she kept quiet until her CD came out: it seem she was using her situation to make money.
The CB/Rihanna case also brings up something that people do not discuss: DV commmited by females against men. It is underreported and the resources are not available to men as for women because of fear of being called gay or weak.
“Radio stations rightfully banned Brown’s music because of the sheer brutality of the attack and because of his actions afterward.”
KaraZ Says: “Chris Brown made all the wrong moves post his incident and his people did too.”
For forgiveness to occur there must be total repentance.

@71 It was worse than peeing and I don’t understand at all how people still support R. Kelly. I refuse to support child rapists.
@75 Rude Boy is island talk for some type of Island man. It doesn’t translate as a regular rude guy like it does here in the States.
CB just needs to drop a dope song – not “cutting edge, let me try something new”, but something everyone wants to hear and a club banger he will be ALL THE WAY back … his new music just ain’t tight enough to over come those that want to hold a grudge over him (interpret as those with blinders that don’t see Rihanna played a role in this “dangerous” behavior too).
@iscream Robert Kelly needs to stay under the bus. She was 14. His offense was criminal. You just don’t have sex with little girls, no matter how grown they act.
We cadntrn make 1000 comments comparing Chris to other celebs who seem to have been forgiven, going over Rihanna’s part in that night and her career outcome after that night and disapproval of Sandra’s attitude towards chris vs her atl favorites still wont change the fact RADIO STATIONS STILL AREN’T PLAYING HIS MUSIC. Maybe his fans should sign the petition!
I like CB…his mucis is still young but I like him. Everyone saying that he showed no remorse…wasn’t Rihanna jet skiing with him a few weeks later?? Why would he show remorse when he has already been forgiven by the person he hurt?
RJK, the difference is, an abusive relationship entails more than physical abuse; it occurs regularly, and becomes progresively worse.

I love how hypocritical people are. I don’t have a problem with people his actions over his head, but it kills me those same people are the ones twerking their behinds to other criminal’s music. Former drug dealers get deals and put tell alls in their music and that doesn’t stop these hypocrites from blasting it.

Nevermind if Rihanna did hit him first. he could have stopped the car and got out or put her out. That just shows a lack of maturity.

We can’t say what we would do if we were in the car. I won’t lie…I like to think I take higher roads but when I’m in a situation I react. And it is NOT what I say I would do. Regardless of maturity, a person can only take so much before snapping. If my baby sister was hitting me while in the car, I would like to think I wouldn’t hit her out of love but Lord knows I would beat her like a stranger that stole something.

This is not my comment. I was quoting someone else. You’re preaching to the choir. I would have beat her ass, twice. I’m sorry. Glad God made me a woman. Cuz if I were a man, and a woman started popping off at the mouth and had the AUDACITY to hit me like she wasn’t going to get checked. I’d be an inmate right about now.
I co-sign w/Yesindeedio & Sandra
Chris has been forgiven, but it’s too soon to forget. He needs to take some time off to help youg teens with anger issues and slowly return. They should have made an “apology” song as his comeback song, but nooooo. They opted for greed, so karma took over. Sit down and relax yourself, Chris. Crying over no sales is not going to help you. However, humility goes a long way.
I don’t care what Rhianna did, he beat her up. He didn’t hit her, he beat her up.
i’m willing to forgive chris brown and rhianna at this point. i believe they had a fight and BOTH of them went to far. But we saw what her face looked like, we never saw him with any bruises so it looks one sided. I think there were fights before this, just probably not to this degree. She said he blacked out on her – I’ve seen someone do that and it ain’t a pretty sight. They honestly go ballistic and don’t even realize it until they see the after affects.
I think they handled the situation wrong, and because of that he is still suffering. I don’t agree with the judges order for them to be a part for 5 yrs. Let them work that out between them. I don’t see judges do that with regular everyday people so why do it to them.
Chris just needs to go do his community service, continue with his anger management classes and wait for people to forget about this situation. He doesn’t have to give up music, but just lay low a little bit.
Are we seriously still talking about this shyt??!!….I’m so tired of this. What the hell did Rhianna sell in totals has she gon gold yet Sandra?? Look that up will ya. If Chris felt the need to beg his fans for support than, so be it….but I don’t think his career is damaged to that degree…
Maybe it was just bad timing for the album….he can always drop another.
R. Kelly being the adult at the least, should have known that a 14 year old little girl could not legally consent to having sex with his grown a$$.
How come people are saying “Forgive” Chris didnt do anything 2 us, and the only person that should “forgive” chris is GOD & Rhianna…. and which she did… And how do we know he didnt seem remorseful? like someone said in another post, him and rhianna was jettsking after the incident so maybe at that time she forgiven him… Im so threw with this post on to the NEXT—>
I was never a big fan of Chris before the situation w/ Rihanna but he should be able to get a second chance with his life and career. If I was his P.R. person, I would have stopped the nonsense the came afterwards. The jetskis, scripted apologies and horrible interviews didn’t help him at all.
I’m not a CB fan so there’s nothing for me to forgive (I abhor woman/child abusers) so he’s not even on my radar, but I hope he can get himself together one of these days. Jesus forgave our sins (funny how some people don’t want to accept him or live for him), but there’s sometimes long lasting repercussions for them too.
So glad I am not the only one who understood the Jet Ski pic she was WITH HIM and im sure he had just knocked that down so of course he was chilling his boo had taking him back and he was GOOD at that moment.
He def. needs a new PR team ASAP I been saying that from day one. As soon as the pic above (cant believe you felt the need to post that pic again Sandra way to protect the victim) was released and went public his PR team should have been working day and night on their game plan.
Will we ever see CBs mugshot???
Good Luck and God Bless CB. I dont have a heaven or hell to put you in ONLY GOD knows your heart.
Still team BOTH
Milan Millian,
That baby in your gravi is ADORABLE!
Got to get my daily gossip and I’m sitting in my cubicle and we can’t play on the Internet……. The iPhone is a great substition!!!!!!
Omarion ain’t beat nobody, been in the biz as long a Chris, sing as good as Chris, look as good as Chris, dance as well as Chris, and he on ABDC with a new album out that is not getting played. Young artist all struggle to match that initial success like when they was brand new. It happens…..fans are fickle. Chris gave a lot of his fans a reason to move on. Some just not interested anymore Rhianna beatdown or not. My 13 y/o just not feeling him and could care less about that fight, she not a Rhi Rhi fan either.
Sandra this is from a co worker who reads and loves your site she asked me to post this for her so dont
me please and thank you!
This post as well as others, actually show intimate details as to who you are and where your own deep rooted personal issues lie. Breezy will be just fine in time and his talent will continue to speak for him. He has been held accountable for this actions and he is sincere in changing and becoming better. He does not owe that to you, me or anyone else. As long as he can walk this earth knowing he is trying his BEST, that is all that matters.
At the end of the day this young man is in need of encouragement and support. People like you Sandra should know what its like to constantly be judged daily, day in and day out. When you look in the mirror each day what do you see? You do not have any idea what personal emotional and mental battles this YOUNG man is facing. How do you look at yourself in the mirror every single day knowing you awake with the intent to spread lies, gossip and be negative?
The problem I have is that Chris is being a big baby and whining about his lack of airplay when most stations are still playing him. His problem is that he hasn’t put out anything that people really like. He still needs a good PR team, but he also should come out with something that’s hot.

What happened to respect? I don’t look through hubby’s wallet and he does not look in my purse. I don’t look through nor answer his phone and vice versa. I know I am married but does my husband have to know every single person I call, do I have to know every single thing he purchases? I am not saying she should have got beatin’ for checking his cell, I just think that when we go looking for things we will find or think we found and make a big tado bout nothin’ The moral of the story here is learn to control yourself when you find out something you don’t agree with.
The world has a sense of values, however irregular they may be:
If you are an R&B/RAP artist who goes to jail on gun/drug charges, the CD sells like crazy. If you go to jail for domestic violence or rape your career is in the toilet.
Yes, the buying public CAN make or break an entertainer.

Are we seriously still talking about this shyt??!!….I’m so tired of this.
*************************************
we are >>>>>>here<<<<<<< It’s the same argument over and over again.
Oh and I LOVE Rude Boy…and yall azz know what she’s taling about beatin up…..going back to lurking singing take it, take it, baby baby, take it take it, love me love me
Awww thanks krazy kat…. It’s me baby girl!!
I love Rude Boy…I’m singing it right now.
I just don’t cosign to anything Rihanna says because she lies about little stuff. I mean she did say in her interview that she had never heard “Changed Man” a song written for her…then got caught in the lie when he called her out! If a person gonna lie about the little stuff then you know dang well they gonna lie about the big stuff!! That is all.
Come to think of it, they still play CB on the local radio station here in Virginia…course he is from the state
1. I want to know how ppl know that she hit him. Cause I never once heard him say that.
2.If she didn’t hit him, I don’t see how she deserved it for talking with HER mouth. How I see it, I didn’t put my hands on you, so don’t put yours on me.
3.At the end of the day, I wish them both the best.
Where is Chris’ mugshot
@ Daisy…
Why hasn’t that leaked?? This post makes my blood pressure rise.
Team Chris Brown.
i’m so sick of this story I could scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously they were disfunctional. This is about him beating the hell out of her. We all lose control and can’t predict when it’s lost. Sometimes we forget that. Forget trust and everything else cause she was already dusted up in the Ferrari or Lambo. Not defending him in anyway but people are human and lose control, how he dealt with the aftermath was wrong, and now he is feeling the reprecussion (spellcheck that). It’s a done deal. I rarely buy CDs put out today so it’s a non issue for me. I get your point though.
I had to post on this, I could give a rats ass about either one of them. And furthermore evrybdy talking abt he should have gotten what he deserves and blah,blah, blah, are probably the same ones who have a son and tell their son if somebdy hit u, u hit them back, girl or boy. So please save it, and no one has to forgive him, bc he didnt do anything to no one bt himself and the illegal alien rhi rhi. I mean really does she have a green card to be over here? Bottom line i dnt care who u are, if u dnt want someone to put their hands on you dnt put ur hands on them.
-I used to love me some Chris Brown, but I dont give a damn what kind of excuse he wants to use, the proof is in the picture. He beat the hell out of this girl.
-Now, since he is young and comes from a violent household, I was ready to try and forgive Chris but that was b4 he opened his mouth. Its just plain obvious that he isn’t sorry for what he did and you are right, he does try to play the victim. The arrogance he displays when he interviews cant be denied but he doesnt see it because he is too into himself. His attitude is like “I said I was sorry, damn!!” But he’s damn near ready to kick ass cuz no one believes him. Angry much?? You can tell he grew up around woman beaters and still doesnt have any real men in his life to let him know that he truly is a real f**kup. If he could get his hands around her neck and no one would no about it, he would choke the life out of Rihanna for damaging his image.
I swear all the women up in here defending Chris Brown and putting blame on Riri must get beat down regularly by the men in their lives, hence their skill at minimizing Chris’s guilt: they have to minimize their man’s guilt in order to keep going and not holding him accountable. He did not just ‘shake the mess’ out of her, he f**ked her sh*t up!
I would have been willing to get past it if he had shown an ounce of likability and true remorse after what he did but he didn’t, he acted like a SPOILED BRAT with no humility.
sp…absolutely
@Sugarpiehoneybunn
Exactly! We aren’t talking about a case of ‘I slapped him, he slapped me back,’ Chris had to really thrash her to make her face look like that. He went to town on her. I have straight up punched a boyfriend in the eye before, really hard, and he didn’t lay his hands on me. I’m not saying what I did was ok, but the point is that a real man knows better than to beat his girl up for any reason.
@Quitta: How are “they both wrong?” I have not heard a clear account of what Riri supposedly did that night, but I saw a clear account of wtf he did to her face and she’d damn near have had to attempt to murder him in order to deserve that kind of treatment. Someone please show me a legit source of information regarding her actions that night so I can understand what fools are even talking about.
Also, those of you who are confused as to why Chris Brown took more heat than Charlie Sheen: get a clue. Sheen’s wife is not a beloved icon, of course people are going to be more protective of a young superstar like Rihanna. Also, people expected more from Chris Brown because his image was that of a “good boy” and Charlie Sheen is like a warehouse of STDs and the prostitution industry’s lifetime private subsidy.
Readtheblog is an obvious troll so as much as her/his/its comments piss me off it’s not worth arguing.
Also, a gun charge is a far cry from beating the hell out of a defenseless girl. People don’t feel a gun charge violates a basic standard of decency the way violently attacking your young girlfriend does. Obviously. The radio stations are just reflecting public opinion, not determining public opinion. If CB had come out with a killer record, I’m afraid people would have been more willing to overlook what he did because people are simple minded, but he didn’t. And like many have said, his biggest mistake after brutalizing America’s Sweetheart was acting like a smug, entitled little bastard. And honestly, all the fools who collaborated with him or were seen with him in public while he was acting like the victim showed their true colors: they aren’t men either. Obviously they aren’t offended by the idea of men abusing women, because any man who is offended by that idea would have shunned him completely or knocked him the f**k out instead of posing for pics with him and rapping on his weakazz records.
Unfortunately, Chris released his album, Graffiti, too soon. It is a great album, but it is overshadowed by all the drama from Feb. 09. But, Chris is so talented that he will get through this.
If you haven’t heard his mixtape, download it–It is really good. His version of “How low” is better than Ludacris. Keep your head up, Breezy.
Yeah keep your head up Breezy, you poor thing, it’s too bad you weren’t rewarded for all the court enforced community service and half-assed apologies you made in between jet ski adventures and smug photo ops with other equally narcissistic and classless celebrity pals
Why does everyone have to focus on all that violent domestic battery “drama” when it’s like sooooooo 2009? How many times does a guy have to say sorry into a camera [despite not doing a single other thing to demonstrate a shred of remorse] before he can go back to being a pop idol after brutally beating his famous girlfriend? No fair. Why’s everybody gotta hate? It’s almost as if people value displays of sincere introspection, remorse, and humility over teleprompter apologies! The injustice! 
PLEASE.
I wish Chris luck and I had high hopes that he could get his career back, but it just doesn’t seem that it’s going to happen any time soon. He is young enough that he could take a little break and maybe go to college or something. He is very immature and could benefit from some real life experience rather than that fake ish he’s being exposed to in the industry. Come back in a few years with a clean record. I think the fans might be able to accept him then. He doesn’t have to wind up being a pariah like Ike Turner and OJ for the rest of his life. For now it ain’t happening though.
@Bird:
I just don’t get it, why did you hope that he could get his career back on track so soon? Why not instead have hoped he would have actually demonstrated profound remorse and grief over what he did instead of acting like he deserved a quick rebound? He really does display the “I said I was sorry! Damn!” attitude and it stinks to high heaven. I believe if he was a decent human being, his behavior would have sent him reeling in self-loathing and painful remorse for a while, he would have reflected on what could cause him to do something so b*tcha$$, not because he wanted to reclaim his career but because he wanted to save his soul! He did none of that! The only sadness I detected in him was how sad he was that he might not top the charts again and also perhaps sadness that Riri left his sorry a$$. That’s disturbing and suggests a real heartlessness on his part. Seeing her face like that should have had him bawling and cursing himself! If I had done something so awful I would have gone into a deep depression for a while, feeling like a monster, not posing with rappers and partying it up and CERTAINLY not go begging people to play my songs or acting shocked and dismayed that my album [which I would not have released anyway so soon] wasn’t selling! Decent human beings don’t act like that.
The kid may just have some growing to do, but in my opinion his maturity level is below average already so it’ll probably take like 20 years for him to grow a conscience and let go of his sense of entitlement and by then folks won’t want to see him anyway. You know, I was a huge fan of is before this mess, that’s why I’m so appalled with him now. He is truly talented, and it sickens me to know what a total cad he really is because I really liked him. He blew it. In the days right after it happened I wanted so badly to see him show deep remorse and devastation, and what did I get instead? His dumba$$ jet skiing and posing for pics at parties and sh*t. F**k that and f**k him.
This is a shame, he needs better people.
R.Kelly’s pedophile a** is still running around town. He had no backlash what so ever after peeing on that little girl outside in the park in the middle of the day while cameras were rolling.
Chris Brown needs better people… #thatisall
@Yadda:
1) Chris didn’t come out with a certified banger after this ordeal, hence his lack of a comeback. RKelly managed to release music that people were interested in, people are shallow enough to overlook most things if they can nod their head to a song.
2) RKelly did something that to many people appeared a consensual act. Many people feel like at 15, they were capable of making decisions for themselves so it’s hard to see a statutory crime as a REAL violation. I’m not condoning that outlook but it’s a reality. However, it’s far harder to overlook and relate to the act of beating the living hell out of your young girlfriend. There is far less grey area for people there. That’s why Rkelly made it out somewhat ok.
