MINI ROUNDUP: WRIGLEY GUM SUSPENDS CHRIS’ DOUBLEMINT AD SPOT / UPDATE ON TAMEKA FOSTER-RAYMOND

After the media blitz that ensued after he was charged with one count felony criminal threats against his Rihanna on Sunday night, Chris Brown has another thing to worry about, his endorsement deals.

Wrigley gum has now suspended all advertisements featuring the R&B star, including the popular commercial that even played during the telecast of the 51st Grammy Awards.

A company spokesperson tells Us Weekly:

“Wrigley is concerned by the serious allegations made against Chris Brown. We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen. However, we have made the decision to suspend the current advertising featuring Brown and any related marketing communications until the matter is resolved.”

Our good friends over at WOOOHA.COM posted that Brown also endorses a dance video game called U-Dance and has a partnership with the New Era hat company. Not to mention, a rising acting career. As we all know, this isn’t going to turn out pretty.

Here is an update on the Tameka Foster-Raymond medical scare from this past weekend in Brazil. Word is Raymond, 37, is now is stable condition after the medical incident.

Representatives for Usher Raymond, said Monday:

“Tameka Raymond is in stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery in Brazil. Her husband Usher is with her at the hospital,” the rep added. “No further details will be released, and the family requests privacy at this difficult time.”

On Saturday night, Usher canceled his performance at the Recording Academy and Clive Davis’s pre-Grammy Gala. Davis told partygoers the singer had to bow out due to a “serious injury in the family.”

    Feel better Tameka. No offence, but isn’t plastic surgery MUCH safer to do in America compared to Brazil??

    thanks

  6. i think it’s unfair!
    they don’t know what happened so how are they gonna suspend his ads for doublemint.
    i dont’ like this,
    somethin’ is missing and the real truth will come forward.
    chris baby,
    u’ll be aight.
    imma always support you no matter what.
    whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

  7. chris breezy da man

    @ 2 yes it is…a lot of doctors over their r not licensed and its extremely cheap 2 do over there and a lot of times whatever a doc over here wont do, they usually will and this is the consquence, Obviously if they wouldnt do it in the US it was 4 a reason, but i wish her a speedy recovery!

  8. Chan

    Chris Brown should really be ashame of himself. This is something I definetly wouldn’t expect from him. If it hurts his career he deserves it.

  9. @ 7. Did you not read their statement? They are giving him a chance, but they are suspending the commercial because it’s bad for business. They could have just dropped him, but they are waiting it out.

  10. platinum glam

    Its a lot going on.

  11. chris breezy da man

    i agree with #7 Double-mint did that without having all the details, but once u have a charge like that! no matter if ur guilty or innocent, it ruins u! especially if u have a clean image like CB

  12. Poets of the Fall

    CHRIS’ CAREER IS SLIPPING ALREADY. HE IS A VIOLENT CHILD SO I’M NOT SUPRISED PEOPLE DROPPING HIM. AND RISING ACTING CAREER?? HAHA DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH!!

  13. o ok.
    i see,
    good looking out angel.
    but i’m still not content wit the suspending ad thing..even tho it’ll be bad for business.

  14. Ms. Lady

    I knew those endorsement deals were a WRAP!

  15. shoppingdiva

    Betta Rihanna ends up getting back with Chris after this incident. Something is telling since there is talk in the blogsphere that she is dropping charges that she will continue her relationship with him.

  16. Nothing But Love

    GOOD!!!! thats what he gets, you can’t go around beating up woman and expect nothing to happen

  17. RENAE

    Hope Tameka makes a speedy recovery. I guess she didn’t want anyone to know she was having surgery so she flew to Brazil, but haven’t people learned from all the horror stories of surgery. If u can’t go to Doctor 90210 maybe you shouldn’t have surgery, not trying to be funny.

    And no one really knows what happened with Chris and RhiRhi but as a female I have always been told by my parents that its not good to hit a woman but if she continues to hit you, you may just have to hit her back. I do not support violence though. And the media love putting out negative info/gossip on others, I wonder what skeletons are in their closets.

  18. Dee

    When you know that you live under the media’s microscope why would put yourself in these types of situations?

  19. Sharon

    Oh trust they are getting back together, when you love someone, of course your gonna go thru rough spots, but if you really love and RESPECT each other and are able to forgive, then you can make it.

    I hope this comes together in a positive way. They both have INCREDIBLE careers,and i hope they get it together.

    The pressures of young love

  20. shhhhhh

    GETTING WORSE AND WORSE

  21. TESSA

  26. Bee Season!!!

    Rihanna probably need to be slapped up a little, i can just see her acting a fool, and Chris pulling the car over to man handle her mean ass!!! Them girls from the islands are a piece of work!!!

    As for Tameka, girl you our to old to be getting surgery, you will still look like a man no matter what you do, and to be getting surgery in another country, thats the craziest shit i ever heard of, did the bitch even do research before she trusted someone with her life???

  27. jlinz

    fell u tessa

    @ 20 they broke up thazt is what stared the whole thing chirs brown was trying to break up with rihanna and she wasent having it

  28. rachel

    Awww i jus seen all the news and updates about chris on the site, and looking into it, i actually feeel bad for him.
    i met chris a couple of times, and he’s too kool.hes not like that at all. i wonder what happend. cos he wouldnt go 2 that extent, and why couldnt rihanna hit his ass back, she gwan like say she big woman.
    ahh i hope he dosent get charged, and i hope the media aint taking it out of proportion..

    wow $50,00, in a recession period. u no if his ass wasnt no celebrity they wont be asking for that much kmt they wont even be asking for that stupid amount of money, they will bail, before they find evidence to do a trial etc.

  29. WTF IS GOIN ON

    WHO CARES MAYBE RI RI NEEDED 2 GET SLAPPED I WANTED 2 SLAP HER MEAN ASS @ DA B.E.T. ADWARDS AFTER PARTY LAST YEAR!!!

    AND Y IS BOW WOW & SOUL JA BOI BEEFIN IF U ASK ME THEY BOTH GAY!

  30. Brittany

    I heard Chris crumped before he beat her ass.

  31. Shit happens

    Over on TMZ it said that rihanna have bite marks what the f was he doing them starting to turn out into a comic right now mon lol

  32. HEY gurl hey

    IF WE AINT 21 THEY BE TRYNA SAY WE AINT N LOVE LOL AWWWWW!!!

    #25 I LOW KEY DID HEAR HIM & BERRY HIS BESTIE HAD SUMTHIN GOING ON …MAYBE SHE WAS GONE TELL DA WORLD HE GOT DOWN LOW KEY LOL!

  33. iamadiva

    If his mom and management have any influence over him they will keep him as far away from her as possible. No matter if he’s innocent of hitting her in anger (self defense) some folks will always think the worst of him and she will garner the sympathy always. .

    He’s getting killed in the press, public opinion has turned against him, losing endorsements, has three movies that are limbo….and a possible felony to carry around for the rest of his life. His life is basically ruined. He shouldn’t want to see her a$$ ever again and they should make sure it stays that way.They are not good together or for one another

  34. Fiddle

    That’s what Chris Breezy get, sorry dog. Their is no reason why a man should put his hand on a woman.

  35. Man this whole situation is out of control.

    For some reason I doubt he did anything truly physical to her. Ri probably got all the hits out during the argument, but since Chris is a guy you know how the story goes.

    If he REALLY did anything serious she would’ve never dropped the charges.

  36. WTF. . .

    Lmao I just seen Chris Browns commercial a few mins ago on BET….

  37. @ 31. TMZ also said there was a weapon involved and then later said their wasn’t. Just like most blogs, they are making shit up to get hits. Ridiculous. Concrete Loop only posts facts, so quit emailing me with these crazy rumors that haven’t been confirmed.

  38. THANK U CHRIS 4 SLAPPIN HER

    OMG THANK U 4 SLAPPIN HER UP CUZ I WAS GOING TO LAST YEAR WHEN SHE GOT A LIL ATTITUDE WITH ME 4 WANTED 2 TAKE A PIC WITH HIM!!!

    AND Y IZ SOUL JA BOY AND BOW WOW BEEFIN…THEY BOTH SOME GAY LIL BOYS

  39. Shellboogie

    I am so sorry this had to happen. Again, we are all on the outside looking in. I pray if Chris does have a problem that he seeks help for it. I love him as an entertainer, and would hate to see him lose everything.

    Rihanna should also get help she is going to need it. It is such a stressful situation and I can only imagine what she must be going through.

    The truth is I was looking forward to see both Chris and Rihanna at the Grammy last night and everyone can say what they want. The show was NOTHING without them !

    Chris and Rihanna was clearly the stars of the show!

  40. Tate®

    I dont know what kind of “routine” surgery you have to go all the way to Brazil for…other than a lil suck me tuck me…glad to hear she’s doing ok…but I’d respect their privacy more if they told the damn truth

  41. shameonyou

    Rihanna is going to mess up his career. I believe he did hit her, but I bet is was justified. I don’t care what no one says. I bet she deserved. Probably coming out the mouth slick to the man. He needs to leave her wanna be uppidy-ass alone.

  42. April

    I could swear I just saw the commercial on BET like 2 minutes ago. I hope him and Rihanna are doing well and it’s not what the media is making it out to be. Innocent until proven guilty.

  43. HONEST CRITIC

    i KNEW WRIGLEYS WOULD DO THAT. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT LIKE ANGEL SAID ITS BAD FOR BUSINESS. THEY NOT GONNA KEEP PUTTING OUT THE AD WITH HIM BEING ARRESTED. NO COMPANY DOES THAT. ATLEAST THEY DIDN’T KICK HIM OUT THE CAMPAIGN YET.

    SMH @ROUTINE PROCEDURES….IN BRAZIL WITH THE HIGHEST AIDS RATE AND SOME OF THE WORST HOSPITALS AND WATER? YEH SURE. ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND KNOW SHE WAS OBVIOUSLY GETTING SOME PLASTIC SURGERY THERE EITHER BEING CHEAP OR GETTING SOMETHING DONE THAT AN AMERICAN DOCTOR WOULDN’T DO. GLAD SHE’S OK THOUGHT, BUT SHE WAS FOOLISH.

  44. ……he prolly some where cryin like a lil bitch …
    ……only 19 and already an abuser dam
    //….i swear you can take the nigga out the ghetto
    …….but you cant take the ghetto out of you kno the rest lol

    #25 u wrong 4 that i dont think him and berry gay hahahaha berry is da homie!!!

  46. MAL

    Well the amount of times the media have said about Rihanna sleeping around and sh*t leads me to think that this is true unfortunately. Maybe she is more deceitful than she appears, and she is the main problem of this relationship. Wouldn’t your boyfriend question whether you have slept especially if they heard about it? It makes a guy curious. Rihanna has been linked with many males including Josh Harnett, Jay-Z , Kanye West, Justin Timberlake,T.I., Shia Laboeuf and now the Dream. So this maybe the reason why Chris lashed out if it she is the ‘victim’. I’d like to hear his side of the story, so dont every one assume he is the only guilty one here. Its more than likely Chris must have been provoked or emotionally hurt, however it does not give him the excuse to use physical violence.

  47. MAL

    * slept AROUND …sorry

  48. Cheri!

    weird..I just seen Chris’ Doublemint commercial and I just felt bad for him cause I know how people are jumping to conclusions already; Idk I don’t want to comment on this story until I hear the true story.

    I really hope Tameka heals completely. Plastic surgery is so dangerous; it’s sad.I personally think she was fine the way she was.

  49. BLISS

    stupid haters on the internet..all ways calling her ugly names..i guess she wanted to fix her self..

  50. Izzib

    If Tameka’s surgery was routine, why have it in Brazil? Lies, lies, lies. She wanted to come back looking so great after having the baby. That’s what all these celebrities do after they have their baby. Making people think its all natural. Tummy tucks, breast lifts or implants, lipo and the works. She just got busted. She did it in Brazil because of more privacy and it’s cheaper. After all Brazil is like the capital of plastic surgery. Busted.

  51. …… them companies from way back are not tryna
    ……put up with these young people bullshit
    ……ask micheal phelps kellogg’s said aww hell no
    …… wrigleys said the same thang…lol
    ……. you can take the nicca out out the ghetto but
    …….yall know tha rest lol….. ursh paid for that
    ……he better had taken his ass over there
    ……quick fast and in a hurry lol
    ……what the hell could she be fixin
    …….still gonna be ugly …lol

  52. trey

    I think chris did hit rihanna, so he should go to jail, you should never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever put your hands on a woman, and rihanna is such a sweet AND BEAUTIFUL girl he should be happy she even went with his lame ass. And all of you who are taking up for chris are some DUMB, Stupid, Lame, ASSES. CHRIS BROWN CAN GO SUCK A DICK.THAT’S WHAT HE IS GOIN TO DO WHEN HE GET PUT IN JAIL ANY WAY. FUCK CHRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  53. Damn Breezy thats fucked up! im mad cause hes like the american sweetheart guy, But bothe him and Rihanna are only human we all got in to fights with our boyfriends or girlfriends, Im not gonna comment on what happend cause we really dont know the truth. Keep your head up Breezy And for Rihanna dont sweat it just cover the black eye with some good makeup lol

  54. yumyo (3 week old bebe)

    I’m hearing all types of mess that went on between Chris and Rhianna. I heard she has bite marks and scratches. I even heard there was a weapon but that has been denied.

    All in all, that’s just an unhealthy relationship to be in. I hope they wise up and part ways.

  55. Damn Breezy thats fucked up, Im mad cause hes like the guy American sweetheart, Both him and Rihanna are only human we all got in to it with our boyfriends or girlfriends so im not gonna comment on what happend cause we really dont know the truth. Keep your head up Breezy and for Rihanna just cover the black eye with some good make up youll be aight

    —-I hope the hip-hop industry don’t crash like Wall Street. Usher & Tameka, Chris &
    —-Rihanna, Ray J & Whitney, Nas & Kelis, Eddie and Mel B, 50 cent & Shaniqua.
    —-Can’t we all just get alone and be happy.

  57. Megan

    If she had bite marks he might have did it out of self defense
