Chris Brown’s Career Is Dead

@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.

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.

@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.

@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.
