“It’s not really a big deal to me now as far as that situation. I think I’m passed that in my life.”
Chris Brown’s saga will never end. Rihanna seemingly has moved on. Chris has tried his best, but media won’t let that happen and yesterday’s unseen, but much talked about tirade on ABC’s Good Morning America somewhat proved such. The young man made a mistake which no one will ever allow him to live down. He could risk life and limb to rescue a baby from a burning building, save a cat out of a tree and it still wouldn’t matter. The post-heroic interview would still include the question “So, are you still an angry little fella and beating up women?”
Still, there are measures he could take to help repair his image.
1. Accept fate — Ike Turner never lived down the label, neither will Chris. Cardinal sins in American society include child molestation and beating women. Do those and you’re labeled for life. Unless you’re a Catholic priest, everyone is going to talk about your transgressions or, even if they’re not saying it, they’ll be viewing you silently and judging you in their minds. Accepting the fact will be step one towards change.
2. Learn to handle the questions better — This may be easier said that done but that’s what media training is for and whoever is coaching Chris should know the task isn’t a short-term one. Continuously, he needs to be guided in how to handle the questions. Or better yet, his publicist needs to step in and staunchly refuse any questions related to the topic. Trust, the larger you are, the more power you have to say “The artist will not be fielding questions regarding that topic” because we’ve had it imposed on us while doing Sessions and interviews.
But if they do come up, don’t react. Try to keep your cool. I happened to catch the GMA interview and immediately notice Chris’ body tense and his movements become fidgety when Robin went there on him. Amidst the he say, she say, GMA strongly claims they cleared questions with Brown’s team beforehand but I guess it’s like getting your prostate checked in that nothing’s going to prepare you for what’s about to happen.
3. Piss on a girl instead of beating them, then make a few great albums — It worked for R. Kelly. You were on a great track with “Look At Me Now” but that crappy Auto-Tuned, techno number he did perform yesterday is terrible. In fact, my wife and I heard it on the radio and thought the song was David Archuleta’ or one of those types before my daughter disappointed us by saying it was yours.
If you do bad things and make sh*tty music, you’re giving folks an added reason to dislike you and proving your presence isn’t necessary. I don’t personally listen to Robert much anymore, but I’ve heard that his music is still pretty stellar and nobody in their right mind can deny how entertaining the early installments of “Trapped In The Closet” had redirected the attention back to his music and not his perverse behaviors.
Plus, Black folks will forgive anything if you make them smile or dance. The BET Michael Jackson tribute performance? Riveting, capping it off with tears. I’m sure there were Girl Scout troops ready to have him on as a motivational speaker afterward.
4. Hire a better team — Remember when Kobe put it in the Colorado chick’s dookie chute without her consent and she cried rape? Do we even remember when Tiger screwed 80 chicks and had concubines in all 50 states? It’s called extensive damage control and both athletes were being guided and protected by great teams. Chris needs a better group of people invested in making sure that his public appearances are succinct and almost scripted.
5. F.A.M.E. – Fans are your everything Chris. Just like family, they’ve forgiven you and decided to continue supporting. Running to media outlets and detractors with open arms asking for forgiveness might be the reason Brown keeps getting punched in the chest so hard. Instead of going that route, f*ck only with those who do understand and forgive you.
Personally, I hate to see the young guy being beaten to death (no pun) over one night’s mistake. Said it then and I’ll say it again – he’s young, he f*cked up. To our knowledge, he wasn’t stomping hoes prior to that one terrible night and there’s no proof that his life is headed down a path that will include him sitting around in a beer-stained wifebeater at age forty, cursing out his spouse and smacking her around for over-frying his bologna sandwich.
But a future of terribly directed gospel plays could be in his future if the current path continues and the media discards him.


You forgot one thing Gotty.
Anger Management.
Dude’s got a hard time controlling his emotions & ends up reacting in a violent way.
He’s gotta address that.
Hear, hear.
I, too am fed up with the Rihanna references, however, as AmpGeez stated ‘anger management’, he really needs assistance with that.
It would have been better for him a)state firmly to the interviewer that he doesn’t wish to discuss the matter and if she didn’t then inform her of his leaving or b) held his frustration in until after he left the building, allegedly smashing windows is not the move and will allow for more finger pointing and the ‘see, he hasn’t changed’ comments.

Exactly. Trashing a dressing room is not a good look after saying all that mess is behind you.

Word cause Robin Roberts didn’t go that hard on him to bring out that reaction.
Yeah, that may be the only time his anger leads to violence, but he does clearly have an anger management issue and needs to get that dealt with.
Also, Kanye West is never going to live down either the Swift or Katrina incidents, neither of which actually mattered. Of course people are going to keep asking him about that time he beat the shit out of a famous woman.
Personally, I don’t fuck with his music and between the Rihanna incident and all of the Michael Jackson bullshit, I don’t know why he matters at all. America will forgive everyone eventually if they’re talented enough, so if they don’t forgive him that’s his fault.

See: Brittney Spears
But you only get so many chances to fuck up before you get put on Hollywood timeout.
He keeps fucking up, he’ll be 45 years old, doing “Old School” tours with Sammy, Ray J & Omarion on the chitlin circuit, hoping his upcoming season of The Surreal Life can jump start his career.
I say Chris leaves music alone completely for a minute. Focus on his acting grind. Actors get forgiven for fucked up behavior way quicker then Pop singers.
See: Charlie Sheen
And on the acting note, I liked Takers. Sure Chris’ role could really have been played by any athletic young black star, but it isn’t like he wasn’t effective. If Chris does more legitimate movies (non-teeny bopper bullshit) I think that he will be considered more of a legitimate star.
Damn Chris is a very immature person…like wtf???the chair through a window…mannnn of course they was gonna bring up the “Rhianna situation”(not that they were right for it)…come on!!!ughhh he needs to be an adult and handle that situation with grace…im tired of his immature acts ughhh…idk if dis was attention for his F.A.M.E album or sumthing but Chris u need sum help..& be a fuckin MAN!!shessh #imjustsayin
Fuck it…dude should just start a metal band, then he can smash as much shit as he wants.
I feel pri-teeee…oh so pri-teeee…I feel pri-tee and wit-tee and gaaaaay and I pityyy any girl who isn’t me todaaay.
Anger Management.
==============
for real, ’cause there’s no way that rhianna incident was a one-night mistake. nobody beats a chick that black&blue if it’s actually their first/only time laying hands on a woman. dude has rage issues.
you make it sound so easy. lol
good write-up though
A mistake is when you step in dog shit or lock your keys in the car. A grown man hitting a female is no mistake..he knew right from wrong. Not that I care about Rihanna cause i think her music sucks, but there’s women in my family that’s been victims of domestic abuse, and i’ve had to lay hands on some of the abusers, so pardon me if I don’t give a pass to chicken shit ass Chris Breezy. Unless your life or someone else’s is in danger, theres ZERO excuse a man can give me for hitting a girl. You a tuff guy? Come hit me.
Agreed, Tres…
And like I tweeted earlier, lil’ dude’s gotta know (especially as a man of color) just because your ready to move on, doesn’t mean society has to be – especially if you seek their attention and support. That’s life.
hate when people do the “if he a tuff guy why dont he hit me” bullshit. He just blacked and like gotty said it aint like its a bunch of girls coming forward with battery claims. Eh i agree with the article though.
good write up B
Oh yeah may I mention Ya’ll niggas on a roll blood with these scribes Big ups to the whole crew
“Only so long before you’re dancing on top of cars, wondering what the fuck went wrong.” (c.) Dave Chappelle
Phonte killed me yesterday when he tweeted “Dear Chris Brown: Charlie Sheen is White. You’re Black. Act accordingly.”
Sometimes race plays a roll–maybe we expect less of black men so when one does something like this, it’s bad, but it doesn’t have that OMG factor; more like a “once again, ninjas ain’t ish” vibe.
Also, Breezy needs a new momma. I dunno about y’all but I’m a grown man. Still, If I went sideways on a woman like that, my 75 yro parents are on a plane next day to whoop my ass with canes, walkers, dentures and whatever else they carryin.
Chris’ mom been defending this boy like he the one gettin bullied.
Great write-up, but as a former class member, anger management really doesn’t do much. Chris just needs to take better control of his emotions. Or else he’ll be haunted by this and the Rihanna incident for his whole career. Right now the only thing savin him is his talent, which just ain’t deniable at all.
To bad Chris can’t deal with people bringing the fact he beats women. That’s not something people can just forget about so he might want to accept the questions like a grown up and act like he’s remorseful. Instead he’s acting like a giant douche and making it seem like he’s the victim. This ass didn’t learn a damn thing.
Oh chris have to say is this: That situation have takin a toll on my life and like i said i ask for my fan forgiveness and i hope to become a better man in the future i apologize again.
So Chris Brown needs anger management ah? Well, what does Chalie Sheen needs? after his shenanegans, he get’s rewarded by being reinstated, and no one’s hounding him. That nut job Mel Gibson is not being persecuted by anyone, and they both have also been abusive to their significant others, and are the Mc Daddys of Racism. Yet no one seems to keep them under condemnation. Why does Chris have to continuously be apoligizing to anyone. If you noticed, it was the mix breed reporter that decided to dredge this back up. We are our own worse enemy, and the young man can take but so much before cracking. EVERYONE JUST NEED TO LEAVE HIM ALONE!!! jus like they do the white dysfunctional ones.
we all know that the media is milking chris brown to make millions. what get me is all of you believing every thing that they post about him. this young man wont be growing up know time soon he just like the rest of our young children full of devilish ways so get over your selves and mine your own busniess and for all of his haters that wont chris behind bars i wont yall to go serve that time for him and shut the hell up because this shit is really old damm news ps their are other celebrity out here with dv issues besides chris brown ok
