Chris Brown must have some compromising Polaroids of an MTV executive, because the network keeps running happy-go-lucky stories about the controversial singer. It seems like every time Rihanna is interviewed somewhere, Chris’s idiotic blatherings pop up over at MTV. Of course, at the end of every article about Chris, the MTV editors see fit to include a link on domestic abuse and how to get help. Hm, why is that? If you recall, in Rihanna’s riveting interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, she revealed that she is currently single and can’t even think about getting into a relationship with a man at this point. Well, it looks like Chris Brown is kind of on the same page.
Chris Brown is ready to move on with his life following his assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna.
He has been sentenced and has begun his community labor and counseling; he’s made the media rounds, apologizing for his actions; and he’s gearing up for the release of his album next month. But when it comes to jumping back into the dating pool, the singer said that’s on hold — for now.
“My whole dating thing, I’ve been kinda chillin’,” he told MTV News. “I mean, I’m Chris Brown. I’m not saying it like that, but it’s just, like, girls are gonna be around. I love women. But I would say I’ve just been chillin’. I haven’t really been trying to get into a relationship or trying to date anybody. I’ve just kinda been working on me. Like I said, just really getting me straight.”
Brown premiered his new video for “Crawl” on Friday during a brief appearance on “The Wendy Williams Show.” The singer spoke about the song recently to MTV News and admitted it was inspired in part by his ex-girlfriend.
“When I heard the whole concept and everything, I was like, ‘Yo, this is crazy,’ ” Brown said about the track. “So being able to express the feelings, it was like, probably one of the best [records I’ve done]. But it was more than me trying to do a record that meant crawl to love, crawl back to love — meaning whether it’s from your negative situations, whether it’s from any problems you’ve dealt with, like anybody’s situation. Mine being my personal situation with shorty, but for anybody, for being inspired as far as it being the war or a death in the family, whether it’s anything, anybody just crawl back to love. ‘Cause love conquers everything. Love, at the end of the day, makes everybody happy.”
I think I just lost three IQ points reading that. Why does this punk insist on calling Rihanna “Shorty” and referring to himself in the third person? “I’m Chris Brown. Girls are gonna be around.” That kind of sounds like a threat! And I love how he refers to domestic abuse as a “personal situation.” Nice euphemism. Anyway, the fact that he’s not looking to get serious with anyone should be a relief to women everywhere who enjoy having their faces intact. But the sad truth is, some naive woman is going to think it can’t happen to her.
Dumb, brainless, star struck, DESPERATE girls might be around, but certainly none of decent breeding and with sound minds.
can we talk about this awfully sad story regarding the 5 year old Shaniya Davis ?
@ Kimberly: No. Please do not make me cry about this again today. I come here to make fun of celebs and read snark.
Of course he is “kinda chillin'” from relationships! The poor little darling’s fists and teeth need a rest!
That catty b*tch Rihanna has gone all around snitching on him, when she was the one who deliberately crashed her face against his fists, forced him to choke her and put her skin between his teeth. But now that he is getting counselling, God will guide him and he will forgive us all for judging him over absolutely nothing. Even Rihanna for not being quiet about it, like a good woman should.
Seriously, this guy is utterly insane – he simply doesn’t seem to think that he did anything wrong, and I suspect that he is capable of blaming everything and everyone, but himself. Also, I wonder who is putting all their weight behind him, so that media outlets will portray him under a positive light and keep playing his songs.
Apparently, among certain people, very little has changed since the 1950s.
and the opposite sex is doing the same with him, no doubt.
at least anyone with any self-esteem.
the ones who like to get beat, well they’ll be next in line for his kind of loving.
He’s ugly!
“‘Cause love conquers everything. Love, at the end of the day, makes everybody happy.”
Yea, love conquers being brutally beaten by your significant other…
Um, there’s a reason why we have the term “deal breakers”. Having the s*** beaten out of you, that’s a deal breaker, because you know.. the whole ‘you could be killed’ thing.
This dude is an idiot and I agree he thinks he’s done nothing wrong. ‘Love’ cannot overcome such a malicious break of trust and human decency.
In other words, no woman worth having has any interest in him.
I have a short story to tell. My husband was mean to his first wife, she drank, got pyhsical and they fought. I knew her well, I worked with her, and always felt sorry for him. After they split, he and I began to talk and I have been with him since. He has never hit me or been mean to me, its been 7 years. Just because Chris hit her, doesnt mean all men continue to hit.
He admitted he hit her, hes sorry, what else do you want, hes young and he made a mistake. But the Celebitchy people just cant let it go. Gez……I wish people would find another subject already!
@MikenMary,
I will have to agree with you. Americans dont allow for second chances and besides I wish people can understand that you live what you know and domestic violence was how he was raised. I honestly believe Chris Brown can change. Now if he makes the same mistake twice, that’s a different story but atleast give him a chance to better himself.
Well my ex, as it turns out, beat his wife, and every gf he has had after divorcing. The general rule is that if they abuse once, they abuse again. MikenMary, you may be among the minority who has a man that only was abusive to one woman, but that is not a typical case. If you are so tired of the subject, avoid the post if you don’t like the comments.
@ annie – I’m on the same page as you!
Chris Brown is just so ugly. Inside and out. That face -ick- the face only a mother could love.
I had someone in my family who used to beat their spouse (rather not state the relation). To my knowledge he hasn’t been physically abusive to any of his following girlfriends and wives. I 100% love this person but I do not condone what he did and it will never be okay or excusable.
Chris could very well grow up and become a better person. One who doesn’t hit his significant others. But every time I see his smug face or hear his interview comments I know he is light years away from being that man. FIRST he needs to take responsibility for what he did. In his actions and his choice of words you can see he disassociates and shifts blame. He wants to be the victim when HE is the abuser. He is dangerous and right now he hasn’t earned a second chance. He will hurt somebody else — it’s only a matter of time.
I remember that Mike Tyson was one of few speaking out about what Chris Brown did. Some may call that being a hypocrite, but his words rang true and I was glad he did so. In his statement he admitted he was wrong for what he did and knows there is no way to set it right. But as a man who’s been abusive, he says the first step is admitting you were wrong and seeking professional help.
I’ve been to AA several times. My dad is a recovering alcoholic. They say the first step to recovering from an addiction is acknowledging you have it. I know I keep repeating this point, but I am not sure how to express it fully. I can sense when someone has fully accepted his demons and when someone is just saying what they think others want to hear. Chris is just saying words to make amends, but it’s clear to me he doesn’t really believe it. For him the problem was not that he beat Rihanna — it’s that he couldn’t keep the fallout under wraps.
This is why I don’t think he deserves any absolution. It’s too soon, he’s not ‘reformed’, he doesn’t show real remorse, and ALL signs point towards he’ll do this to someone again.
i can’t defend this asshole… may he disapear
MikenMary and mel:
The abuse he did was ridiculously brutal and of course we have seen what he did to her physically and mentally so we are probably the kind of people that are not dumb enough to believe that a guy that BEATS AND BITES his girlfriend in a ARGUMENT about his FIDELITY to their RELATIONSHIP are not going to let his ass get away with this so easy.
Besides he already get away with the Law and a lot of DUMB girls that prefer defend him and say that RiRi deserved what she’s got because u know that u would NEVER be stupid enough to make u boyfriend/husband angry by ARGUING with him about his being UNFAITHFUL.
And people need to stop with this excuse that his ex beat or i beat him and offended him. I agree that she/u is wrong to create drama and be physical but a man hardly will get that kind of bruises that she got unless she/u have a weapon to help u out.
And is asking too much to the woman’s of the world to unite and stop making excuses for idiocy and abuse that man commit. Stop and think that you could be in her place or someone important to you
“girls are gonna be around”. Could this guy get any more delusional? The only girls who’ll be anywhere near him are his parole officers-or chicks who don’t know who he is. Which, hopefully, will soon be all of us.
If there was any true karma in the world, he’d be run over by a bus by now. (eye roll)
I think Chris has admitted and apologized many times in public.
You all seem to be the type of people that don’t want to accept his apology just because he is a celebrity.
The way I see it there are plenty of fish in the sea. Plenty of fantastic men. So why on earth would you EVER settle for some shmoe that hits women? Really? Especially if you know he’s done it. Why would you waste your time? Even if he doesnt hit you, he’s still hit women. And that’s just pathetic. It’s not a man you’re dating. It’s a child.
Color me too good for that mess.
whoa he is like the dumbest person on earth? i never understood how anyone could think of him being talented, goodlooking or whatever…
never liked him as an artist, he is so overrated, always been.
So sick of this toolbag. Nicely written though, MSat.
@ Peach: The will to be stupid is a very powerful force, but there are always alternatives. – Lois McMaster Bujold
When he smiles there is nothing behind his eyes…super creepy.
Has he always been so unattractive or is it the fact that he’s a women beater that suddenly made him so unappealing?
@gg – I LOVE Lois McMaster Bujold’s books! which one is that quote from?
oh, and on Chris Brown – I do believe that people can change. BUT it’s too soon, and I don’t think Chris is sincere anyways. He hasn’t really truly taken responsibility for his actions, had therapy, etc. It’s been less than a year! And he’s still trying to sweep it under the rug as “private” (that didn’t prevent him from doing interviews, it’s only after Rihanna started MONTHS later that Chris wants “privacy” now…), etc. I just don’t believe him.
When all this first happened, I thought Rihanna didn’t seem like the type of girl to put up with that crap. My best friend is in an abusive relationship but on the outside she doesn’t seem like the type to put up with that either.
I also thought Chris Brown didn’t seem like the type of guy to hit a woman, but that’s the thing, they never seem like the type. Their friends, family, work colleagues have NO idea what they’re really like. The only people who do know is the wife/girlfriend/kids.
I wish CB fans would stop telling the rest of us ‘enough already, he apologized!’. I’m sorry but he didn’t just leave the toilet seat up, he BEAT her senseless. And then LEFT HER THERE, to her fate, whatever that might have been. That last part right there, I will never get over. It shows the depth of callousness and heartlessness that is in that boy and nothing he has done shows he even remotely appreciates the severity of what he did that night.
His ‘fans’ would be better off writing him letters and telling to shut his mouth and get his ass off to therapy.
Perfect description of CB: Ugly on the inside, ugly on the outside.
Good for him taking it easy now, it gives him time to get his life in order. its not as if his career is over, & his fans will likely continue to support him.
