NEWS: CHRIS BROWN ATTENDS COURT FOR ARRAIGNMENT + VIDEO
Monday, April 6, 2009

Entertainer Chris Brown hangs his head down low after leaving his arraignment appearance at the Superior Court of Los Angeles County on Monday, April 6th in California.
Chris Brown alongside his Attorney Mark Geragos pleaded not guilty on both felony counts for an assault on the alleged victim ‘Robyn F.’, who is reportedly singer Rihanna, during an argument on February 8, 2009.
Sources inside the courtroom say Chris’ mom spent the entire preliminary hearing either in tears or praying for her 19-year-old son. Chris also brought along four bodyguards with him. Brown is due back in court on April 29.

@ #153….stop generalizing every thing in the black community and rolling it into one ball….that is idiotic…..
they had a fight…..that unfortunately became physical….surprise that can happen if the subject matter is intense and has been bldg up for awhile……the most unfortunate part is that this private matter became public knowledge with the calling of the police by a would be good neighbor
the police weren’t needed….according to the caller they weren’t fighting on the street but she was screaming at him and he was calm…..”just screaming” out of anger not threat…..probably she was cursing him out
there are reports that they were then seen together on the same day???
this was a HUGE spat…..and seemingly the biggest and most public….they seem to be on the rt. track presently…..sometimes you got to go through the wall to get to the other side
i wish them BOTH the best……

Its not that big of a deal… He is a kid! Yall quick to throw somebody away, people act like he a 40 yr old man who has been beating women left and right for years. I think R Kelly and TI’s situation was worse than this and we all forgot about that. We all make mistakes and if he is truly sorry and receiving help I think we should leave him alone. If GOD can forgive him why can’t we? This young man has a lot of talent in him and I will support him! TEAM CHRIS!!!!

I just want to slap that look off his face. It disturbs me that he is trying to look sorry or innocent. I’m not sure which one he is trying to pull off. It’s not genuine at all. When this first happened I couldn’t see him doing something like that. More and more now it looks more apparent than ever. “Typical abuser”.

First, Chris needs to stop with all of this im so innocent, put my head down antics. Im pretty sure this is all the work of his publicist and everyone else on the money train but he was dead wrong for his actions. Chris needs to take his consequences like a man.
I know noone’s perfect but I dont feel any remorse for him, Im pretty sure when he was beating on Rhianna he wasnt looking like a 13 year old school boy. I hope for the future he realizes nothing should ever take you to the extremes of physically hurting someone, especially not a woman you care about.

They got this poor young man in and out of the court house while Rhianna is clubbing and running all over the place. Hold your head up Chris, soon this will be over. Next time, do not put your hands on her, get one of your jump offs from the hood to bite her f*cking face off.

Chris’s career: With everyone saying that his career is over… I don’t know. With the whole situation with R. Kelly after when everything went down he tried to come back, but he just couldn’t do it. With the Michael Jackson situation when everything hit the fan people said he was guilty and he was found not guilty, he still had all his fans still supporting him. But even after all of that he left the states. I don’t know but to me it’s going to be very hard for him to comeback from this. I mean just look at how everyone is treating him. Look at all the special episodes of MTV news, Oparh and 106 & Park. It’s like the T.V show “Everybody Hates Chris”. Like I said before it’s going to be hard for everyone to forgive him. When it comes to stuff like this America is very hard at forgiving people for situation like this.
The whole situation with why she took him back. Well in many cases the woman has always take the abusive boyfriend back. In time she will ( in a sense) wake up and smell the coffee .
Can we please look at the facts. There was blood in the car, blood on her clothes. The only question is why Chris didn’t have any bruises from him hitting her. Of course there should have been some bruising. But SOMETHING did happen. Domestic violence is a serious subject and I don’t believe the picture of her was fake. If you watched the video closely and looked at Chris facial expression you can tell that he is hiding something or he wants to say something. It’s so obvious that he had something to do with it. You can see that he is scared out of his mind about the whole situation. Rather he hit her or not… hw knows. You may not have to say anything, but your facial expression will tell the whole story.

Poor young Man…the police report said he choked Rihanna, and punched her…come on
It’s been almost 2 mths. Rihanna hasn’t been charged with a crime, the officer who saw Chris after he was arrested, said “he appear to have NO injuries”..want the link
I do think that the media acts like he is the first public figure to be accused of abuse, but I do think Chris is a abuser, I think he needs help and Rihanna was attacked by him..I believe her story.
Chris should focus more on getting help. and worry about MUSIC later,

i feel he should definately pay some consquence for what he did, at the end of the day, he did hit her, BUT i do believe she most likely provoked it, but he should have never hit her. she seems hella happy though, taking hella vacas party in la, buying a house, she seems fine! i hope this doesnt ruin his career, he is 19. too bad…i bet they will get back together though once its all said and done. they just go way to much flack for being out in public together

Not saying it’s right but how many black many get hit this hard for having a fight with their girl? Real talk this is some BS and I gotta agree with Diddy on this one. “WE DON’T KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPEN SO PEOPLE SHOULD SHUT THE F**K UP! What happened to letting them work this out instead of (Oprah, Tyra, Etc) trying to make an example out of them. Oprah is my girl and all but shouldn’t she be a better role model and marry Stedman? and I ain’t even going there with Tyra. Bottom line this is bigger than RiRi and CB yall better realize.

we don’t know what went on . I hope he is okay we all make mistakes damn. Why is everyone looking at him as the bad guy..rihanna could have hit him first and brought this on herself so that makes them both wrong..why the hell is everyone adoring rihanna now when they don’t know what even happened there must be more to the story for him to plead not guilty..his mother wouldnt raise her son to be a woman beater when she was beaten by a man herself.. I still support him and still will buy his cds

OMG … MTO is a mess.
But I’m not here for that.
In any case…
I am glad that CB pleaded NOT GUILTY so we (the non-celebrities aka general public) can get a squeeze at the REAL JUICE that took place in their little fight. Hopefully, our boy does NOT get jail time… strictly community service. Because I am sureeee that it was self-defense! Once it is all said AND done? I really hope he tells her to KICK ROCKS… the relationship has reached a point of madness, without counseling, it will be unhealthy for the both of them to be together. Point Blank.
But we shall see… what a tangled web we weave…
And those pix that have surfaced of her daddy? My God!!! That forehead is a MASTER PIECE! It looks just like HER dome without make up. Which brings me to that silly photo of our poor poor battered RhiRhi.. Please, that thing that TMZ put in heavy rotation? Looked as though she didnt have on makeup, bit her lip, and that she’d been crying. Not that our boy went upside her head WITHOUT reason. Please….
I’m not in offense of her, nor am I in defense of him… I am simply pointing out that there can be no reaction, without action. That’s all.
-peace n salutations-

I agree with JJBIZZY NO#1 saying .
You live and learn thats what everybody is learning in life. I pray he leave and i mean leave Rhianna alone. Do not feel too sorry for Rhianna believe me we just heard half of the story. I new Rhianna doesn’t look right to me. And my vibe is always right about this from the start. If he stilll mess with her, look for a path of destruction.
Chris if you are reading this find a girl that is strong and will lead you on a path of happiness and i hope you will find that. Rhianna will make your life a living hell.
I believe you will find that girl that will make your life joy and full of love fun and happiness and that the girl will have your kids. The girl is not Rhianna. Rhianna is going down with out Chris and she will spiral down. Watch what am telling you.
She will never be happy. Chris will move on without Rhianna. And will have a girl he will be complete with and Rhianna believe me can’t stand that. Chris will come back full force in the music industry or in field of acting believe me he will come back . He is hurting inside and sick right now , So all the people who love Chris still be there for him he need your support more than ever. Chris i just want you to know you will always be number one in my book. This is just a step to be a better person and to watch who you are being with. This is a teaching lesson. Go to college.

I think he is remorseful for what he did. However, people seem to forget, he is still a kid-19 years old. Do I agree with what he did? Heck no! Nonetheless, he is still young, and young people do foolish things-we all have. He needs prayer and counseling, not the bloggers and his community tearing him down. While RhiRhi is partying it up, people are simply dogging him out. I think it is so easy to cast stones, but give this “young” man a chance to learn from his mistakes and not be so quick to throw him under the bus.

I am so glad he is in court he deserves a VERY HARSH PUNISHMENT for he is a cowardly, self hating monster. Anyone and i repeat anyone who sides with Chris Brown needs to stop being so igorant especially black women!!!. No 42 casing point get yourself some self love child!!! You obviously have no self worth. Those blaming Rihanna for partying like its 1999 what do you want her to do here when she is the VICTIM? You want her to wallow in self pity and blame herself like you all do? This is not a mess in my opinion its the truth of what goes on in this world black girls do not matter and Black men have no boundaries period.

And this is why women don’t get along. Quick to trash the woman even if she got her ass beat. Women would rather support a guy even if he did something so wrong as choking and punching a female in the face just as long as they don’t have to support the woman. Maybe she hit him because she was fed up with his lying and cheating like so many brotha’s do. Women will still stand by a woman beater, liar, and a cheat.
Do not protect the abuser from Accountability. He will do it again. It will resurface in the next relationship if he does get help and pay for his actions.

Of course he’s going to be, or look, sad. How else would he be? I’ll only feel sorry for him if he’s proven NOT guilty. Otherwise he should take his punishment like a real man.
His sad demeanor ain’t gonna make me do a 180 degree if he did in fact beat up Rhianna. She could have been my sister, cousin, friend, aunt…..or another stranger. I don’t accept senseless abuse on anyone.

@ PRISSYDIVA71. I agree with you…to an extent. But this “young man” almost killed someone out of blind rage. That’s NOT a “young person mistake”. I think we all need to sit back and imagine this being our mother, our sister, our DAUGHTER. I don’t think I could imagine someone doing that to a woman close to me. He needs counsling AND to be punished to the full extent of the law. PERIOD

He didin’t almost kill anyone. The witness said himself He saw Rihanna screaming like crazy at him and he was just standing there. This was clearly after the fight in the car and if Rihanna was choked as badly as to lose consciousness she wouldn’t be able to scream so loud as to wake the entire neighborhood up.
The police report even states she attacked him while driving. The only reason this is going to trial is because of the media attention.

CHRIS BROWN IS A GOOD KID. THE MEDIA IS REALLY BLOWING THIS SHIT UP. LEAVE HIM ALONE. RHIANNA AND CHRIS BOTH JUST NEED TO GET SOME HELP. MAYBE IF THE LAW FOCUS ON SOME OF THESE REAL CRIMINALS OUT HERE THIS WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE. THE DOG WHO JUST KILLED THAT LITTLE GIRL IN PUT HER BODY IN A SUITCASE. DAMN BASTARD. THESE BASTARDS THAT ARE COMMITTING MURDER SUCIDES TAKING FOLKS LIVES BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE THE GUTS TO LIVE IN DEAL WITH LIFE. LEAVE CHRIS ALONE IN GO AFTER THE REAL CRIMINALS AND THUGS/ AKA AIG IN SOME OF THE REAL ABUSERS. CHRIS AND RHIANNA YOU BOTH IF ALL IS TRUE AND ONLY YOU GUYS AND GOD KNOW THE REAL TRUTH BOTH OF YOU NEED TO GET HELP NOT JAIL. AND IF IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE LEAVE EACH OTHER THE HELL ALONE.

This Is Crazyy That It Is Still All Goingg On, It’s Being Dragged Out Now & It Is Un-Necessary!! I Feel For CB I Reallyy Do, God Know’s I Don’t Stand Up 4 A Man Hitting A Woman But By What Everyone Is Sayingg I Am Guessing That There Is A Possibility That Rihanna Hit Him First…??
If That’s The Case What The Hell Was She Excpectingg, Yes He Shouldn’t Have Gone That Far But As Someone Has Already Said & Which I TOTALLY Agree With, Women Want Equal Right’s & All This Ishh So If Youu Gunna Hit A Man Expect A Hit Back!! It Shouldn’t Make A Difference, I’m Sorry But Why Should It Be Okayy 4 A Man Too Get Hit N The Woman 2 Get Away With It When People Go Crazy When Men Hit Women & Get Away With It, It’s The SAME THING!!
As 4 Rihanna Going Out Partying ETC, She’s Young Youu Can’t Expect Her 2 Sit Round & Stay Hidden But At The Same Tymee If Your Gunna Let This Case Carry On @ Least Get Your Sorry Ass There N Show An Interest In The Outcoming Of The Justice For Yourself…Silly Girl…
Also From The Sound’s Of It She Wasn’t 100% Innocent So How Can Youu Hate Just One Person When There Were TWO Peoplee Involved…That’s Not Right!!

WHY has chris brown’s little 19 year old butt got wrinkles allover his forehead. Not too many teenagers with wrinkles like that! lol
Also i have to say that these pictures are so staged. this is why chris should not even consider acting as a second career move, as he can’t even act when whats at stake is his damn FREEDOM!

I loved Chris Brown the first day he came out and I’m going to continue to support him no matter what! He is human first before a celebrity. So stop judging and hating on him so hard. Rhianna is no saint in this matter either. She has personal issues that she needs to deal with also. I wish the both of them continued success after all this mess. I pray they both seek help from the right sources. We all should take this as a lesson that no one is perfect and we all fall at some point and time. Being happy with you starts from within. Money and success don’t bring happiness. Its just temporary because you can’t take it with you when you die.

how can all of you judge CB… the press says he’s guilty if he is let God take care of that. He apologized to RiRi and Asked God to forgive him. True fans are there no matter what. CB i still got love for you. keep your head up. I’m sure your family ans friends hang in there for you. Why turn your back on him…whether you are a personal friend or not. Troubled people need support as well.

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 /
Wow, i say again. Yes, Chris was wrong! Of course, why wouldn’t he be wrong for hitting a woman. Yes, Chris should be punished. He is a celebrity, right? He should be trying to set a positive example, not a crazy one. Should it be a harsh punishment, No. But it should have some kind of live altering agenda to it. There is always a story to both sides. We did only just hear Rihanna’s side. Chris never had a chance to speak because once you do something wrong, it’s all over. Rihanna has done things i’m sure, but she didnt deserve to be hit for it. I personally love Chris Brown as an artist. He music it off the chain. I also love Rihanna’s music. Her songs help me when i’m in a huff with my love. lol So i’m not taking any sides. They both have to pay for the things they’ve done. No one should truly get involved, because we weren’t there. we only know to a certain extent. If a woman get beat down by her man and still returns to him, then she is the full. She has problems if she can stay in an abusive relationship. Yea, he can change, but not with her. That memory will always be there, as a constant reminder of either how stupid she is for staying, or how strong she was for parting ways.
