Chris Brown

Chris, Chris, Chris. In case you have forgotten, Mr. Brown got into a lot of trouble and received a lot of negative publicity (rightfully so) in 2009 when he essentially beat the shit out of pop star Rhianna during a domestic dispute that took place in a car. He has been trying to repair his image since. And slowly, but surely, was achieving that.

One step forward, two steps back much?

Chris Brown appeared on Good Morning America this morning. During his interview with Robyn Roberts, he became pretty upset about questions that she asked regarding his arrest for the beating and about the recent relaxing of the retraining order that Rhianna has against him. Mr. Brown each time tried to move the interview and tone of the conversation back to focus on his new album. Here is the interview:

Apparently, Chris was pissed though. He stormed off set (mad props for waiting until they were off the air), reportedly breaking a window in his dressing room and refused to do his second performance on GMA. Reports say he left the studio shirtless, ala Hulk Smash - no kidding. He tweeted "I'm so over people bringing this past s**t up!!! Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there bulls**t". He quickly deleted it.

I don't know why he was surprised. I am sure Brittany Spears still takes questions about shaving her head, like Lindsay Lohan would deal with drug questions and Charlie Sheen, if he lives, will field questions about his drug fueled 2011 breakdown. If you are famous, no one forgets this shit. Especially a dispute and beating as high profile as his was of Rhianna. You don't want to talk about it, you avoided the questions pretty well, did you really need to break a window?

This ain't helpin your image Chris Brown. Especially if you are trying to recharacterize yourself as a non-violent, role model worthy celebrity. It actually just reaffirms that you may not be someone who made a mistake, but you may just be a violent person.

And does it seem to anyone else that any time there is a black guest on GMA Robin Roberts interviews them?

  1. "charlie sheen, if he lives..." made me lol. Seriously though, I've refused to get down to Chris Brown for the past two years. I don't jive with anyone who beats the shit out of someone they love.
