MINI ROUNDUP: WRIGLEY GUM SUSPENDS CHRIS’ DOUBLEMINT AD SPOT / UPDATE ON TAMEKA FOSTER-RAYMOND
Monday, February 9, 2009
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??

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.

imma always support you no matter what.

@ 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!

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.

@ 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.

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.

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.

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???

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

support all over the internet and companies let him keep his big commercial endorsements.
And chris is not even going to be charged with the more serious charges of domestic violence because Rihanna is so in love with chris, that she isn`t going to cooperate with the police and charge him domestic violence.

All yall idiots that saying we stupid 4 taking up 4 chris yall stupid 4 taking up 4 rhi-rhi U DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!! personally i believe it was her fault, everytime u c her in a pic, she look angry, anytime he around some1 she look angry, everytime they go somewhere shes all over him, i Believe CBreezy wanted 2 rid himself of this bitch and she bugged out!!! really, no man should put his hands on a woman, but if they bitch come out of pocket, acting all wild, and wont control herself, that bitch need a good slap or 2, 2 bring her back 2 reality and thats what i think happened, she probably got a little bruise iand said “word u wanna play” and called they police, some bitches r crazy and spiteful, u never know!
Like i said b4 i hope my man CBREEZY gets through all this, parts ways with her, and gets his career back on track, i met him on a few occassions, he’s real chill, real goofy like, I DONT C IT, INNOCENT TILL PROVEN GUILTS BITCHES!!!!

i knew he shoulda never fucked with that girl. i knew it! now look at him going down hard because of this. damnit rihanna. there is no way in hell chris just went up to her and hit her, there is a lot that we obviously don’t know. he was provoked and to be honest, bitches be pushing their luck a little too much sometimes. they take advantage of the fact that a dude “cant hit them”. no way is it acceptable to put your hands on a woman but in self defense? i don’t see why not. as a female, you can tell when you are pushing someone over the edge and if i see a man that is clearly BIGGER, STRONGER and more intimidating than i am getting to that poin, i’m gonna fall back before i get knocked the fuck out. granted, it should’ve never gotten to that point but damn. chris is definitely in my thoughts, poor thing he is probably a nervous wreck right now.

Monday, February 9, 2009 /
Yall ppl dont kno who the real rihanna is yall dont know who the real chris brown is.
I dont want any man to hit a woman, however, of a man does it and when I see a boy like Chris, it means thy girl put him in an uncontrolled state of mind and thats what pushed Chris doing that.
When I see pix again of them, without her, he seems happy, when she is there, he seems stressed; rihanna seems mean as hell as a person and fake, chris brown is the goofy boy who loves to play and a boy like that its obvious that rihanna was dominating, I think in that case we should be more care about what was the act of rihanna which make chris do that atrocious act; a little psycho like ‘dont leave me or Ill do this or do that or tell this or lie about u?’
we dont know anythingabout rihanna from her life in barbados and rumors around her she is extremely jealous but enjoys other men companies, she was already violent with him and didnt want to break.
Chis brown however has a violent dad who beat his mother for six years. I always ssay the apple doesnt fall far away from the tree.

Tameka - Who goes the Brazil to have surgery when you have millions of dollars? I hope she gets well soon… She should have went right to a Dr on the 90210 show…
Chris and RhiRhi - We dont know what happened and I heard they both have visible injuries so maybe she hit him. Who knows but he shouldnt have hit her. I hope they dont stay together if he abuses her. But she did drop the charges so who knows… The story will eventually come out…. Why are people saying this is about Herpes???

I think all of you women who are saying that you back Chris up even if he really did beat Rihanna up are screwed up in the head and need to get checked to see if you’re mentally stable enough to walk the street with sain people. To be a woman who supports a woman beater to me is a reflection of how weak you are when it comes to a man. I hope those of you who continue to support him if the allegations are true never run into a man who would beat you because I personally think you’d be so pitiful. And if it’s true, what a weak and stupid man he is to put hisself in a position where he could lose everything he’s worked for. What a dissappointment.

And if Rihanna did give him herpes, I’m sorry if this sounds bad but I can’t say that I feel 100% sorry for him. Sure, I think it’s terrible that anybody has an STD but God created the commandments of not having sex until marriage and fidelity for a reason. Many people are well aware of all of the different types of STDs out there and if a person chooses to break the commandments or at least not use protection if they’re going to do so, than you’re putting yourself at risk and you have no one to blame but yourself.

WOW I am extremely dissappointed in people saying rihanna deserved whatever she got NO WOMAN deserves to get beat by ANY man under ANY circumstance!!! I don’t care if she hit him first. And spearmint did right suspending chris endorsement. I do not feel that any behavior like that should ever be tolerated! What a tainted image he is posing on our young african american men. Ladies I understand that chris is a young heartthrob but no matter how good u look or how much money u have in your pocket does not make these actions acceptable and to think chris is surrounded by strong beautiful women from his mom and his manager tina davis and he disrespects rihanna like that is so not acceptable!!! Its really sad

GREATEST LOVE OF ALL, my first thought was that Tameka was having cosmetic surgery as well, being that its in Brazil.. BUT it said ROUTINE surgery, which cosmetic surgery HOPEFULLY doesn’t fall under.. but anywhooo, if you were going to get cosmetic surgery, YOU WOULD want to go to Brazil.. They do implant, lifts and overhauls there, like they do mercury fill-ins n dental offices here.. I think they line up for surgery like we line up for frappucinos @ Starbucks… I got a breast lift, lipo, tummy tuck with nonfat botox, eyelid lifts extra hot in room number one! READY! ping!
I sure hope the Chris Brown & Rihanna thing doesn’t turn into a Jaunita Bynum type fiasco… they are too young for all this woo ha..Babies, babies, babies! (SMH)

I feel that pulling the ad is apropriate. It wouldn’t be a matter of time before the women at the PTA meetings start protesting to boycott the video anyway.
Secondly, this is the same thing that is happening to Michael Phelps, the only difference is drugs, instead of, assault and battery I suppose. (I could be wrong or misinformed.)
When a company gives you money to endorse their product, they expect you to be on your best behavior.

I heard Tameka had trouble waking up from the anesthesia, that is why the neurosurgeon was called. Brazil is very cheap compared to the plastic surgeries in America and they are supposed to be good at protecting your privacy (I guess unless something goes wrong).
As far as Chris and Rhi Rhi is concerned, all celebrities are trained to smile or act hard and put on fronts in front of the cameras and in interviews to sell records and movies. I wouldn’t put anything past anyone.

I just wish all of you dumb little groupies would stop trying to act like you know Chris Brown! Nobody on here knows Chris Brown except for his team who is probably reading these comments on CL, one of the largest urban blogs on the net! Chris seems soft and like a punk to me. He also comes off nice. But just because you met someone the first time doesn’t mean that he or she is like that all the time. Haven’t you heard of “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” Obviously he did something because he pleded guilty and Rihanna canceled her arrival at the GRAMMYS! This is not as big of a deal as the internet is making it, but I do know that I hope he gets what he deserves. I feel that he did do it because Rihanna wouldn’t just cancel a BIG arrival at an award show over a “little argument.” I can’t stand Rihanna but I will say that she didn’t deserve to get beat up (reports said the woman had bruises) unless she attacked him and was whooping his a** and he had no choice… which I doubt because he wouldn’t filled a police report against her as well.
I think Tameka chose to get plastic surgery because all of the idiot people who kept on making fun of her looks. Now y’all wanna sympathize her???? I hope she continues to be okay and I hope she looks good.

Tameka…it is obvious that you went to Brazil to get plastic surgery. Brazil IS the capital of plastic surgery. It is the norm there. We all know she just had another child, aside from the other she already has so of course the first thing she would want to get rid of is her tummy. Unless you’re hurting for money (which i doubt she is) why would you risk your life?
As for CB and Rhianna…Learn from this experience. Glad she actually called the police. Many women get it worse and don’t move a finger. I really like CB but this is something i did not expect from him. I have zero tolerance for cheaters and wife beaters. If she provoked him then he shold have let her walk home and call it a night. Once you bear that title it never goes away.
112.
Um...Yeah
Monday, February 9, 2009 /
I agree that Chris’ add should have been pulled, it’s only appropriate, but so should Rihanna’s Covergirl add. We dont know what happened between these two, but it’s obviously serious. I do not tolerate in form of abuse so if Chris hit her he’s wrong. That also goes for Rihanna.

Mrs. Daniels
Monday, February 9, 2009 /
I disagree women drop charges all the time against their abuses just because she is a star and beautiful don mean she has insecurity and self-esteem issues…she may be the type to need a man no matter what. Anyway no one knows what happen and if they were as tipsy as they look I highly doubt they knew what happened….hopefully whoever needs the help gets it and hopefully Chris gets the help he needs…beating on a women is a b* move for real.

As for Tameka……..I’m concur with the majority of the folx on here. Why go WWWAYYYY to Brazil for a tummy tuck because common sense is telling everyone that this is what the bidness was…even Stevie Wonder can see that! Doctors in the US warn you of the complications of plastic surgery after a certain age and had she sought the procedure here, perhaps that mishap could have been avoided. My prayers go out to her family because first and foremost, she is a MOTHER!

This is truly a very sad and unfortunate situation for both starlets, seeing that they are young and wealthy and their lives are under a microscope 24/7. But this is a case where both parties should be held accountable for their actions, anyone with common sense would see that this was an all out brawl between both parties the only problem is who threw the first punch, what was the cause of such an incident etc. By no means am I condoning Chris brown’s actions for laying a finger on Robyn, But I have a feeling that he was provoked to some point was he defending him self? Who was the agressor? Why is she not pressing charges? all these questions we will never know.. all this speculation about STDs, sleeping around has got to cease just sit back and watch the story unfold. I will keep them in my prayers we all should do the same. I really feel bad for him no lie…I hope this situation is handled in an orderly and civil manner

Rihanna’s Injuries — “Horrific”
Posted Feb 10th 2009 12:10AM by TMZ Staff
Law enforcement sources have now gotten specific with us… police took pictures of Rihanna’s injuries and they are “horrific.”
As we reported, the photos show major contusions on both sides of the singer’s face — there is serious swelling and bruising. Her lip is split and her nose bloody. We have now confirmed there are bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers.
And we now know this… Rihanna claims Brown struck her with his fists and that’s what did the damage. There was no object used in the alleged attack.
Rihanna refused treatment at the scene, but before she left cops took photos. We’re told the photos alone are “devastating proof of abuse.”
And we’ve learned it was not Rihanna who called 911. Someone in the area heard her screams and called.

All I wanna know is…WHY EVERYBODY coming down so hard on CHRIS? Because he is a man? right? & because he should know better than to hit a woman…right? Did anybody think that maybe RIHANNA (& yes I LOVE both of the artists music) & her “jealous/clingy” behind threw the first blows? & she probably threw some fists at CHRIS in possibly every argument they have had? Yeah…
There are 2 sides to every story, & I think CHRIS is really getting a “bad rap” for this one all by himself. Maybe he was defending himself (I am just saying, because there are women who beat on their boyfriends & husbands…& you know what? the cops think its a JOKE, they will laugh at the man because the man looks like a PUNK right?—because he lets this woman BEAT on HIM all the time…but the minute that man HITS BACK….OH MY GOD—ARREST HIME!–PRESS CHARGES!–RUIN HIS CAREER!! CANCEL HIS ENDORSEMENT DEALS) OH MY GOD! He could have broke up with her fr all we know, & she could have provoked the whole thing in a desperate attempt at REVENGE to “ruin” his career. “YEAH, LOOK @ ME POLICE MAN– HE JUST ABUSED ME!”
Lets jus wait it out to hear the entire ordeal. Because its all going to come out eventually. For the record, I have to finish by saying that when I first heard they were “together”, I knew it was a TRAIN WRECK waiting to happen. I know this, if either of them put out good music Im still supporting them (Especially CHRIS, what he does in his personal time is seperate from his career. Just like I supported RKELLY through his issues—I support CHRIS even with his present issues).
USHERS WIFE: Well, my goodness. This woman just had another baby by USHER back in December & already she is flying to foreign land/grounds to get PLASTIC SRGERY? Are you serious? Let the body RECOVER & HEAL first lady–DAMN. Doesnt this give us an even clearer picture of just how SUPERFICIAL this woman actually is. That plastic surgery is madness as well as DANGEROUS (your heart could fail, you can be given too much or too little anesteshia, you can bleed to death on the table…these celebrities folk dont think it can happen to them. ALL BECAUSE YOU WANT A FLAT TUMMY, or FIRMER BREASTS, LIPO SUCTION, TUMMY TUCKS….USHER, USHER, USHER. (I read it all in the paper today at work, since I missed the awards just like USHER, RIHANNA, & CHRIS also missed out on the award show)

and i bet they be back 2gether n about a week or two. I dont know chris or rihanna so i cnt speak on their character but i pray both of them get help chris wit his anger and rihanna wjo obviously had sum selfesteem issues cuz i b damned if a nigga hit me i kno my worth….oh yeah nd i doubt i stop listenN 2 his music im not gon lie
i bump both cds on a regular and if his thrid 3ds just as good ima buy it and blast it n my car 2…..ppl can hate all they want but u cnt deny good music…..i honestly hate rihanna as a person{what she portrays on tv} but i bought gggb and i love it

Go on a diet, drink pleenty of water, and do simple make over tips like brows arched and or bleached, good skin care, new hairstyle, wardrobe, workout, dental care, etc. and call it a day, leave hat knife on the plate and not on your body, baby bye.

Rihanna is from BARBADOS so hopefully that caribbean mentality WILL NOT allow her to stay with chris, anybody who has caribbeans or africans (NOTE: NOT caribbean-americans or african-americans) in their family or know alot of them will know what i’m talking about. I’m not even a big rihanna fan, BUT hitting a woman, ANY woman is WRONG period. Men are naturally stronger than women so even IF she she swung at him, (which we don’t even know) he should of walked away or defend her swings but no hit her back. I’m 18, so around the same age as chris and riri, and really chris should know that only punks hit women.

All these celebrity moms are giving a bad example to young moms-to-be. They want people to believe they lost weight through exercise, that their breat got larger because of their post pregnancy and their looks have improved from the pregnancy glow, NOT TRUE. Most of this is plastic surgery. Surgery is a risky procedure people treat like they are going to the spa. This is a bad example to our young people who already have to deal with post pregnancy stress and being there for their babies. For those who can’t afford plastic surgery, they might end up with eating disorders and very low self esteem. Stop the madness. I love that Jennifer Lopez took the right step to lose her post pregnancy weight.

let’s be honest we as women know what to say and do to get a man pissed off
we attack them and think that it’s okay to do it
especially when you’ve done it before and the guy dont react
but his only human
celebrity or not
do i think a man should hit a woman no
but i also dont think its fair to cast judgement on both parties
until we know the facts
and the truth of the matter is
too much assumptions, rumors and here say are going around for us to even pay attention
for a person to think that rihanna was all innocent in the matter is in denial
she’s from barbados and was raised with brothers
there is no way that she just sat there and took it
and there is no way that chris brown would just hit a girl out of no where
it’s funny how it’s a big deal when its celebrities but how many of you know friends, relatives and even neighbors who go through stuff like this everyday and dont say anything or dont even do anything
no two people are alike
your ex boyfriend may have tolerated the hitting and the degrading but your new man may not
either way its sad cause they are still young and have their whole lives ahead of them
this will teach them a lesson to avoid listening to their publicist when it comes to doing stupid things like attending the grammy parties together when we broke up
people have already mad up their minds of what happen
in a few more weeks another scandal will arise
and they will be focused on that
but both their names have been tarnished
but in no way is their fame and music career over
look at ti, he lost some endorsements and is doing his thing but he still has to pay the consequences
we act like b/c they are celebrities they cant commit no harm or make mistakes
we are all human beings the only difference is that our deepest and darkest secrets are not being exposed
they are being exposed by idiots who focus on spreading rumors rather than getting the facts its better to get a negative reaction and add dirt to a story then to tell the whole truth
besides each artist’s camps,lawyers, label, publicist will try to spin this story
let them deal with their embarassment and go on with their lives

i think he was provoked and I saw a picture of him getting out of the car and it looked like he had a black eye. If you put your hands on somebody, you should expect to get hit back. And the idiots believing the TMZ reports and everything need HELP. Everybody’s getting on his case and they haven’t gotten his side of the story yet or Rihanna’s for that matter. These are all “reports” from various people. God knows whose lying and whose telling the truth. Just because he turned himself in, doesn’t mean anything. They were both in an argument and it got out of hand. People act like he was the only one in the argument, putting all the blame on him. That’s bullshit!

Surprising, in this day and age where more and more mothers are killing their own children. My point is, we don’t know what happened. She could have been hitting the -ish out him while he was driving and he finally defended himself. Ladies, stop using the rational that because men should not hit a woman it’s an excuse to beat on them w/o retaliation. EVERYONE should keep their hands to themselves. And to the person who said Rihanna is “little”, she’s 5′9 for goodness sake!

people are saying that he should be guilty
b/c his step dad was violent and he wanted to beat him up
so what i would too if someone went after my mom
that still is not an excuse nor does it have anything to do with the case
people should just stick to facts and not spread more rumors
anyway its not like girls and guys dont do and say some crazy stupid
things to get someone back
let alone as revenge

I THINK IF THIS IS TRUE WHICH ALL KNOW THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY. HE COULD HAVE BEEN DEFENDING HIMSELF. THERE REALLY IS NO EXCUSE THOUGH. BUT IF THIS IS TRUE HE NEEDS ALL THE HELP HE CAN GET. SOME OF HIS PEERS THAT ARE VERY POSITIVE ROLE MODELS WHICH ARE PROBALY FAR AND FEW HE NEEDS THEM NOW JUST FOR MORAL SUPPORT. EVEN IF SHE DROP THE CHARGES THE STATE WILL PICK IT UP SO HE WILL AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. BUT WHAT TRULY WAS HER PART IN THIS. BECAUSE LET THEM TELL IT HE BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HER. AND THEY TOOK AWAY HIS COMMERICAL EVEN BEFORE HE WENT TO TRAIL I LIKE THAT FORM OF JUSTICE. RIRI HOPE YOU ARE OKAY. CHRIS KEEP YOUR FAITH GOD IS FAIR AND HE IS A JUST GOD.

—-I dont understand why he would put his hands on a lady like that, especially one - —like Rihanna, he definately hurt himself by doing that. It seemed like their relationship was going so well…

@ 150, double standard my ass, M. Phelps didn’t HIT a person, he HIT a bong! That in noway is domestic violence. I’m sure alot of ppl have HIT a bong before and wasn’t called a women beater right? C. Brown effed that girl up! You should do your research before you start bloggin about some dumb shit.

How is it a double standard with Michael Phelps?! Did he not also lose a MAJOR endorsement & he has also lost his swimming privlileges.
Just as C.Brown has supporters & the opposite…same with Phelps.

# 53. You can’t assume ” she’s sweet”. I agree with you on the fact that he CAN’T hit a woman. But, Rihanna doesn’t seem sweet or innocent in this matter… I think the blame falls on both parties. But, that doesn’t make it right for him to hit her at all.

Ever heard of the expression “to whom much is given, much is expected…” Don’t you think this applies to Chris Brown? His so called “squeaky clean image” should have been a standard by which he chose to live his life, not just an image for the media. I still have hope that he is innocent and that he will be able to go on with his life and career. He is innocent until proven guilty.
Having said that, I am shocked to see how many people think that Rhianna in any way deserved to abused by Chris… It’s one thing to say that you don’t believe he could have done this and that we should wait for the facts, but to say that because she’s “uppity” she therefore deserved to have a man beat her down and then to blame her for potentially ruining his career…, it’s just shocking to me. Are people not supposed to take responsibility for their own actions anymore? If Chris Brown or anyone else, male or female, finds themselves with someone who is not good for them, who could ruin their career and their future, who could make them so mad that they would have to BITE them, then shouldn’t that person have the good sense to walk away before things get so out of hand? The possibility of being arrested and ending up in jail should be enough to make you restrain yourself, even when it’s difficult. People do it every day, walk away from disputes before getting violent, because they have the good sense to not want to destroy their own future even if they don’t take the other person into consideration. Why should Chris Brown be any different? Domestic abusers never focus on their problem, it’s always the other person’s fault.
Like I said, if he didn’t do it, I hope the truth comes out and he is exonerated. But come on, people should not be wishing that this woman has indeed been abused just because they don’t like her. And no, a woman getting slapped is not within the normal ups and downs in a relationship, unless it is an abusive relationship. Don’t get it twisted, that could be your mother or sister.

ameka ‘routine’ surgery
Did you actually think people would fall for this story.. She probably was getting a liposuction, but I don’t understand why all the way in Brazil? for the media or for the money??
You know I really hate it when celebs try to hide stuff especially when it’s about plastic surgery I mean don’t tell me that a celeb can me waying 150 pounds on Monday en 90 pounds on Tuesday, and celeb’s breasts’ grow in their 30’s and 40’s that’s right…

She is one pathetic lady. Please cut the crap…..who goes to Brazil for surgery….a normal or routine surgery she was getting her stomach tucked or but lifted. Tell the truth shame the devil. And to think she didn’t even want to buy her mother teeth to attend her wedding. Usher you are gay and she is a free loading ghetto chic.

Their relationship was a train wreck waiting to happen. TWO industry artists with HUGE successful music careers, trying to have/maintain a “RELATIONSHIP” together? Add to that already dangerous mix JEALOUSY & the fact that they are both really young (they are still kids). It wont work!
Too bad they both had to learn that the hard way. Maybe now they both see its better & safer to stay apart & away from each other (hopefully).
