There is no excuse to hit a woman but at the same time im hearing abunch of he said she said and us judging the situation aint really helping no body. It aint right for everyone to just call him guilty cause the media hasnt even said what really happened or if rihanna is in a bad condition thats my input.


There are so many lies.. on the radio stations..They are running with gossip and lies, and they know it. They are promoting gossip as truth for the sake of ratings, and they ought to be ashamed. Some are talking about how far Brown has "fallen", but they are he ones reporting gossip and no facts. Since everyone involved is quiet aout the incident, there is nothing out here that I consider truth--other than something happened.

These liars need to stop..Here are a few lies:

"Brown choked Rhianna until she passed-out, but she awoke when the cops arrived." (What?!!)

"Borown broke her jaw"

"Her face looks like she was in a bout of 'Ulitmate Fighting'".
(What medical personnel with any moral-sanity say such a thing to the press)





Lies, lies, lies..

This sh!t is beyond ridiculous. All the rumors that are being spread and BELEIVED is sickening.

There have been no leaks of pics or the police report...no legitimate eyewitness accounts, yet people have already convicted the boy.

The tabloid press continuosly fuel the fire with lies and misinformation and the masses just eat it up.

TMZ is ripping celebrities that have been foolish enough to comment on this incident. Michelle from DC was asked her thoughts on this, she responded that she hoped that they get their lives back together PROFESSIONALLY, they sat sat in their "newsroom" and ripped her apart. Saying how could she say that when she knows CB is a woman beater. They even had the nerve to say that women beaters all over would want to hook up with her because that comment. Sickening.

I swear people are stupid as hell. America has to be one of the most hypocritical places on the planet. We glorify the shit out of violence in movies and music, spend countless hours watching reality television hoping that something "exciting" will happen (like a fight) and then when something unpleasant happens in real life, we think a 19 year old celebrity should have his career completely taken away and thrown in jail without knowing all of the facts. No wonder we're behind in everything and our economy is trashed. We are stupid as hell as a society. Its amazing we haven't crumbled yet.
It seems stupid to me how people believe you should lose your JOB because of personal shit.
If the greatest heart surgeon in the world was an ex child molester, I'd rather have him work on me than the C student with the good home life and no personal flaws.
So dude should have his music pulled off the radio now? Come on. That's just plain fucking DUMB. Endorsements taken? Sure. Those are perks that come with the job. Taking his music off the air is dumb. So, I guess because Rihanna got beat, we're supposed to listen to her music more now? People are fucking idiots, I swear.
I'm not a fan of either of them but this has nothing to do with their music. People should learn to separate things. Everyone's a damn judge these days. (Thanks, Idol)

I agree whole hartedly...except for the part about the music. If the owners of the radio station don't want to play a song because of their personal dislike for the artist...oh well. There is nothing we can do about that. We are not any part of an owner of a business or a person despite the radio listens and money fed. Until we are actually a signer on the check, we just have to move on.

Singer Chris Brown has lost his big money endorsement deals with Wrigley gum and I Got Milk, plus he has been dropped from the NBA All-Star game activities this week and a Valentine's Day show. To add to his woes, many radio stations have decided to remove his music from their station playlists.

What do you think? Has the court of public opinion already judged Brown guilty and his career is now tanked?


No, it's not fair. Radio stations need to also remove the music of 50 Cent, Akon, T-Pain, and all of the other pieces of shit-hop trash that are responsible for the murder of rhythm & blues, soul, and The Funk. wink

You act like his music is a valuable thing.

A heart surgeon can save peoples lives.

Chris is a teeny pop singer who couldn't be a man and control himself.

He knows he's a public figure yet even that couldn't calm him down. He knows how public the media is today.

It won't be forever I'm sure, but for now, it's fair.

I feel compelled to reply to a few points in this post, apologies in advance if my points get a bit sloppy... btw I have no idea who Chris Brown is & have only heard maybe 3 songs by Rhianna so I have no axes to grind.

Firstly, dropping him from radio playlists. Seems a stupid stance to take whether he is guilty or not. If he is guilty the LAW will duly punish him. Who are radio station bosses to decide that they will personally punish him? And remember, every time you go to a football game they still play the music of a CONVICTED paedophile (Gary Glitter) so it does seem slightly hypocritical to me.

She may have hit him first therefore A/ he was within his rights to hit her back, B/ he should have walked away... I was once in a bar and was the innocent victim of an unprovoked violent assault by a female. My first, natural instinct was to hit back but I stopped myself from doing this. I held my hands behind my back and waited for her either to stop of be taken away by the staff in in the bar, recieving approximately 10 blows in the face. Afterwards the people in the bar who witnessed it (male & female) all said I should have hit her back as she deserved it but I wonder... if I had hit her my name would have been mud I reckon.

Domestic abuse in general... abuse is not ONLY perpetrated by men and not ONLY physical. A guy I went to school with took his own life after being subjected to years of mental abuse by his wife. Yes, he should have left but the poor sap loved her... in the same way some women never leave their abusive husbands.

So, my closing point is that I strongly believe that whatever has happened it's now in the hands of the law. Let them deal with it. If he is convicted of the assault maybe then discuss whether his songs should be on the radio, have an open debate as to which felonies are acceptable to gain airplay and which should have you banished from the airwaves. The debate would be interesting seeing as a hell of a lot of legendary, playlisted performers have broken the law at some point.

People in this country have been rushing to judgment for a long time with regard to celebrities, but these last couple of weeks have been utterly ridiculous. You've got people already convicting Chris Brown of crimes just short of murder before all of the facts have even been presented to charge him with a serious crime, You have people already giving Micheal Phelps the Michael Vick treatment based on a photo of him holding a bong (though he later admitted to smoking some weed, yet the punishment far exceeds the crime being committed), and you have the mass media making negative value judgments on that single mom of six who had octuplets and dragging her name through the mud, yet she is hardly the first person who had twelve children or more and yet no one makes a peep about those women, many of whom are in weird religious cults and also have limited funds to support those children. While I may or may not approve of a single mother of six having eight more children, someone speaking on her behalf may have made a good point about how the current time of extreme anxiety about the future is making the public more paranoid and less tolerant of bad behavior. People need to calm down and let the facts come out before making any judgments about other people.

Amen! clapping It's ridiculous how people overreact to celebrities doing something that...*gasp*...any joe blow on the street could do. I'm not advocating what Chris Brown did, but we don't know what he did yet; all we have are rumors and speculation. People need to wait for the facts before they jump to conclusions.
