i'm fed up with women esp women of color making excuses for domestic abuse. stop making this a cultural thing. it's violence plain and simple whether it be verbal, mental, emotional or physical. ri had all the classic symptoms that led up to the final blows. she was blind, numb and in denial until he finally hit her. unfortunately it took that extreme violence to wake her up. thank god she's alive
She was ashamed to be with him? Fuck her! Until he beat yo ass, that's when you hate him right? And you were so ashamed you went back to him? Well, you went back because YOU TWO LOVE each other. You only broke up because Jay-Z told you to and you were afraid you'd lose your fame for making a mistake by going back. Nothing good has come outta her, except that she's more famous. Chris came out the better person in the end
I find it interesting that of all the people who've forgiven CB, it's always Black women are singled out, as if we should not forgive his actions. Our society have forgiven other celebs for the SAME ACTIONS and WORSE ACTIONS, but for some reason, we shouldn't forgive this kid for ONE wrong night of BAD decisions. I don't understand how it is that Black women shouldn't forgive him or how we are naive for giving him a second chance. What does any of this have to do with color.
I agree with Sherri too. I've always been very pro women's rights, but I do not believe that Chris Brown deserves a life sentence for the crime he committed. He does deserve to learn from his horrific mistake and move on. We cannot expect abusive men like him to heal and become better people if they are not in fact, given a second chance.
rihanna is the industries biggest hoar, people pull her strings and she reacts. chris brown if he had done something to her she had forced it upon herself. just because she's a woman.... its a joke. it's the media manipulated womans small little brians into believing he's a woman beater but when a woman hits a man she needs to be put down never raise a hand on either one. the woman wants to yell scream and act like man wtf you gonan hit liek one fuck out of here
I find it funny that people go on about Chris Brown but fail to mention the scores of other musicians who abuse women. Jay Z has hit a woman on tape he has not gotten any negative feed back for it. He has even morally attacked Chris Brown. It seems to me the reason it is an outrage is because she is Famous. Hitting a woman is not right, however to make someone the poster boy and not check hypocrisy is so funny.
For the first time I agree with Sherri. What he did was horrible and there was no excuse for his actions. That said, I don't believe a 19 year old should be blacklisted forever because of this. I do believe it was a dumb move for his management, record label, and publicists to try and release an album and do a tour just months after. Especially being a teeny-bopper, I think he should've laid low for a year or so to let this blow over.
@JesusRokks I guess when a person screws up we should keep reminding them about what they did and never let them recover or allow them to redeem themselves, wow I like when people hear about a person screwing up that there are some people that want to keep the negative in the spotlight.
I do stupid things at my young age and when i do get caught it is the best help i can do. I <3 Chris Brown as the performer not as the person. I mean come on Mike Tyson, R Kelly, Charlie Sheen got past these issues, we know how to set an example for our entertainers especially young ones. The worst thing the media did was to show that image of Rihana. That was embarrsing for that young girl, w.e their reason was it was a low blow. Now i see that picture the first thing when i google her.
I actually agree with Sherri on this one. He owned up, got help and hasn't done it again so far. No one has the right to keep another person stigmatized. Everyone deserves a second chance.
I agree with Sherri. Chris Brown made a mistake, and he apologized and he deserves a second chance. God gives us chance after chance and we still screw up.
well... i guess i'm in the middle. i wont give details tho on my 'exact' opinion, but i will say this: SHUT.UP.SHERRI! dang! ok, we understand the factor of 'forgiveness' but geez- dont be so quick to pull the band-aid from a fresh wound. u have 2 give things 'healing time' (esp. in the media) before u jump on it, supporting the abuser..??? wth?? she was WAY too proud about getting C.B. tickets 4 her teen nieces- not a wise thing 2 say. it made her look like a jackass. Think be 4 u speak girl!
Maybe it's just me...but it seems like 19 is old enough to know that you don't beat the snot out of anyone - let alone your girlfriend. And I'm thinking people like that really can't learn to be different. Sure they can control it, but deep down, that's who they are. And I really don't think he's learned his lesson either - as soon as he realized his album wasn't selling as quickly as he thought he threw a hissy fit saying "what else do I have to do?". He apologized to score sales.That's it.
my daughters ages 13, 11 and 7 are Chris Brown fans. I did discuss what he did to Rihanna, and I still discuss what he did to Rihanna(with them). no more of my money will go to Chris Brown and his posters came down from their walls after this incident. I DO NOT WANT MY DAUGHTERS TO THINK IT IS OKAY FOR MEN TO HIT WOMEN. **the only reason men hit women is because they're too scared to hit another man----f*cking cowards
this is the way that all mothers should raise both their daughter and sons! thank you sumdumfoo1 for being a parenting role model-and doin it right! YOU go girl!
i dont believe sherri naive at all, we are not god so we can not judge chris brown for the rest of his life. chris brown gives great concerts. i wish sherri was my aunt
i sorry but i agree with her i am going to see him to and it not like he killed her and i find it so stupid that now she talk when her cd is comeing out i think she wants to feel bad for her so we can buy her cd
sherii chris may have apologized, but where was the remorse for what he did? i just didnt see it in his interview with larrry king, i was just wating for him to show some through out the interview, but it never happened, and all he could say about what he did was WOW, im mean really he could have done way better than that! where were his advisors?, mean while in rihannas interview with dianne , she was on the verge of tears wich shows the dept of her battered emotions.
remorse. Chris is very remorseful. not only did he turn himself into the police. He has taken responsibilty for all of his actions. Lets not forget that chris brown was raised in this type of environment. Everyone says they want to be a different person than their parents are but they find out that a lot of their traits rubbed off on them. Chris did something that was imbedded within himself since he was a child. that doesn't make it right but he is getting help and trying to change.
At the end of the day. the only one Chris needs to be forgiving by is god. not by you or I. If you will never forgive Chris then dont by his music, but if you are a forgiving person, like god wants us to be, then give him a second chance. Chris was facing jail time, he will forever be called a woman beater. He is constantly in the media. I know that he understands the measures of his actions. you want him to cry and appoligize about what he did. Chris is taking steps to better himself.
Sherri's statement is very much so valid. The Phelps comparison wasn't really a strong one but the point is what is there to gain by hating him? We all have/will have a low point in our lives, be it by forms of self abuse or abuse to others; That's just the nature of mankind. The only way we recover from our lows is to USE our faults as a chance to gain selfawareness of how our actions affect not only ourself but the ones we love. They will both grow from this while other have gained nothing.
According to court records and other sources, Rihanna struck Brown in the face numerous times before Brown assaulted her purports although that would not justify his more severe assault, her violence should not be ignored, and if she does not woman up to it then her message will be the usual one-sided double standards that leave female perpetration covered up.
Provide a link to the court records. You can't because you are lying. Chris Brown stated on Larry King Rihanna did NOT hit him. If she did, he would have told it to the police and pled not guilty. If there was any evidence of Rihanna attacking him in the past, Chris B. lawyer would have called witnesses to testify of this. Stop making up lies about the victim and realize you are defending someone that hit his girlfried over and over and over again in a fit of rage. No real man does that.
Thank You! A voice of reason! This man's career is almost ruined... if Rihanna did attack him, im 100% sure he would have made that public. Who in their right mind would receive probation & community service if his physical response was due to Rihanna's inital physical attack.
i man that doesnt make excuse for his action and accepts responsiblity, he doesnt want to make her look bad , because he feel guilty for what he did ,
WHITE women are defending Chris Brown also, and there are BLACK women who are not defending him. you know, I notice that ever since blogging came into fad more people are bigotry is at an all time high. people hide behind screen names and spew hate to other races. You are probably the same person that goes to work and smile in black people's face and buy them drinks at happy hour just to try to fit in .......loser.
Sherri your nauseating. I think it's disgusting how so many black women are STILL defending this piece of trash Chris Brown. I never thought anything that came out of her mouth was worth my time, but this took the cake.
I've always thought sherry was very naive and this just proved my point .Chris may have said he was sorry but picking up trash on the street is not paying for the crime he committed to me.
NO Sherri, but you have to keep bringing up on the show what your husband did to you. Is he not entitled to a second chance. After all, he wasn`t beating you up, was he? Girl, you waffled on this one.
I agree with Scott. I am a teacher at an urban middle school and Sherri has no idea how many times I have had heard the boys threaten the girls by saying "I'm going to do the Chris Brown on you." Chris Brown is immature, has young boys watching and imitating his every move. An apology because he wants people to buy his album is not enough!!! Sherri, are you going to condone your son telling the girls he is going to do a Chris Brown on them?
i find it so incredibly odd that black WOMEN (and not just Sherri) are defending Chris Brown and his despicable actions earlier this year. smoking weed and choking Rihanna's neck and biting her ears and fingers are two VERY different things. and i think all his actions since then have been disingenuous. i have never noted any real sense of remorse from him. he seems to be waiting for everyone to get over it so that he can jump back into the spotlight.
@bjstinger18 its sad but I'm a black man..a black gentleman and there are two things that I have learned....one if you are a nice black man who always does the right thing and try to treat ppl right, you are going to get screwed in so many ways by black women, but if you are a trash talkin, abusive, women beating thug who calls women b..... and hoes but happens look hot...black women will defend you and be loyal to you until the very end.
You don't have a genius to know the media over exaggerated the hell out of the story! I want to see his record. If he's as evil as people claim he is, then his record should be very long. Charlie Sheen's abuse record is very long, and for some unknown reason, people don't seem to give a damn! There was proof that he beat his girlfriend Brittney Ashland, pictures were taken, and he was charged, but people don't seem to care.
@lrjtmntfan So damn true. But I won't say all women because I have my self a good boy and I wouldn't ONLY say black women because women of all races are guilty of this.
