Abusive...Chris Brown?.?

One of the most talked about topics on radios and on magazine covers over the past week has been about the controversial fight between nineteen year old R&B singer Chris Brown and his girlfriend, Rihanna. Allegedly, Chris Brown had to be bailed out of jail after turning himself into authorities on domestic violence charges against his girlfriend of a year. Personally, I was taken back by the entire situation. During one of our many discussions in class, we brought up the topic of how stars are held to a higher standard. In this case, Chris Brown is very much a role model to many young people, and regardless of what really happened, this entire incident will make him look bad. Will he ever really be able to come back? I don't think so. Yes, he can still make music, but many people will always frown upon him and look at him as an abuser, regardless of what really happened that day. As of what has been said so far, all fingers are pointing in his direction. Yes, she may have hit him first, and some may say that she deserved it, but majority of the public is saying he was entirely wrong for "beating her up," and with this I have to agree. I actually feel bad for him because at such a young age, one negligent decision has possibly messed up his entire career.

  1. yes, Shayla i would have to agree with you. I strongly believe that the MEDIA is blowing the entire situation out of porportion as they do almost everything. I have to say that I do feel sorry for Chris in that he is in this situation although he put himself there with choices he choose to make we dont know what Rihanna did.i believe this all happened in an heated moment and that he is truly remorseful of his actions. I do have to point out that no matter what she did there is no justification for Chris to beat her up. Hopefully he just popped her one or mushed her for getting out of line and shes not really that banges up.
