Oops-I Owe Chris Brown an Apology!

I finally get it! DUH!!!
Well, don’t I have egg on my face today! Since the Feb. 7th “incident” I have been ranting and raving about Chris Brown, the man who allegedly assaulted singer Rihanna, and left her with cuts and bruises to her face. To my chagrin, as the NY Daily News points out, I had the story all wrong and as it turns out, SHE DESERVED IT! Imagine my shame and embarrassment when I read this:
But insiders are rumbling that Chris shouldn’t be taking the anger management classes alone. “Rihanna is temperamental, too,” says our snitch. “They’re both too hot-headed for their own good.”
Adds another source: “It didn’t help that Rihanna grabbed the keys out of his rented Lamborghini and threw them down the street. She knew it would really infuriate Chris, and it worked.”
I don’t know how I could have misunderstood good-guy Brown so completely! As it turns out, he probably showed admirable restraint by not slapping her around sooner. All women know that you can’t mess with a man’s Lamborghini keys and just expect to walk away unscathed. We know that, don’t we, ladies? Now, as the NY Daily News reports, poor Chris will have to pay for a crime that was a justifiable defense of his manhood.
Chris Brown is taking anger-management classes.
The troubled R&B singer, who was arrested two weeks ago on suspicion of making criminal threats against girlfriend Rihanna, attended his first class in Glendale, Calif., on Monday afternoon.
According to a source, Brown opted for anger management at the behest of his spin doctor, Michael Sitrick. “Chris doesn’t actually have to go by law,” our insider tells us, “but he believes it will make him look better to the public, and he wants to try to get in a few classes before March 5,” his court date.
I wish I had known of the special circumstances earlier. I would have had time to organize a fundraiser for Chris Brown’s legal fees. Look at all the trouble that temperamental Rihanna is causing him! My most sincere apologies, Chris, and thank you to the NY Daily News for reminding me that she deserved it after all!
Thanks for writing this Thia.
I found that article VERY disturbing. This is a case that our young children are watching. What kind of life lessons are we teaching them? Expect to get a smacked around if you piss off your boyfriend?
What can you expect. Look at Hillary Clinton. According to a Muslim man of my acquaintance (Ahmidaya to be exact) Hilary Clinton is a right royal sleeze, no ethics at all for not leaving Bill back then (said with a sneer of disgust). Naturally the folks in the States would not want her for their president.
And the woman in my building? If she groans and yelps and and makes thudding noises when she’s slammed against the elevator door again, she’ll be turfed out of the building. We can’t have that. It disturbs the other tenents. (I wish I could say I was making this up).
yes, her throwing the car keys down the street is a real game-changer.
thank you, Daily News. now we understand.
How offensive!
A while back Brown talked about his own experience with domestic violence growing up. That was the time for him to take responsibility for his anger management problems. I think when celebrities disclose things like this they should be immediately asked, so what are you doing to break the cycle of violence you learned at home?
Unfortunately his motivation for going to anger management at this point is so that he will “look better to the public”. Too late and all wrong. His reason for going should be so that he never injures another woman again.
I posted yesterday at catsden.wordpress.com that teenage girls (and boys) actually believe that abuse from a boyfriend is to be expected and sometimes justified. More needs to be done to educate teens about dating violence, which can (and does) lead to rape, serious injuries, and death. 1 of 10 teenage girls experiences teen dating abuse. This is no laughing matter.
Thia – I’m waiting for the day when I see your name above a piece in a major publication. Until then, so glad you’re part of TNA and offer up great pieces, written so well.
I was also corrected when my ex husband pulled me off the bed by my sprained ankle, threw me against on my stomach and held me down by the neck because I threw a book at a door. The police REFUSED to come to my home. And I was taught about “provoking” a 6″7 man. This is my first post on the TNA which has been a lifeline for me but I have felt intimidated to post thus far.
Welcome, T.
Glad you felt okay to jump in.
Welcome T.
We are honored to have you here.
T,
I’m sorry you went through that, but I’m thrilled that you found us here!
I’m also very proud that you picked my article as your first post! Welcome!
Let’s just hope and pray that Rihanna can hold up under the pressure to admit that it was all her fault. She is so young to be placed in such a significant spotlight for all women. I cannot imagine what she is going through.
It is particularly demented when black men take this position. If a white person assaulted a black person because “he threw some car keys,” the entire nation would be in turmoil. But against a woman it is justified. It is harder to be sympathetic to black men with this hypocrisy.
Meanwhile, that is hilarious. She tossed some car keys so he tried to kill her? This is not even worthy of addressing. He needs mental help if this is true. And so do those who defend it.
T,
It does take courage to tell the truth if you have been beaten, then ridiculed for protesting abuse. I, too, am so pleased you came forward here.
Oh, sure. She made him do it. I bet she held a gun to his head and said “Beat me like a gong.” What I love about these macho types is that they are always superior to women so they think, but they never seem to be able to excercise a superior measure of self control.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Pop star Rihanna was reported on Friday to have reunited with her R&B singer boyfriend Chris Brown, less than three weeks after he was alleged to have assaulted her.
Yes, it appears that Rihanna has apologized. Swell. I certainly wish her luck. She will need it.
All I have to say is that she can look forward to more beating, because if you are hit once you will get hit again and again and again.
I have two daughters, granddaughters and grandsons and I tell them all that A MAN DOES NOT PUT HIS HANDS ON A WOMAN AND A WOMAN DOES NOT PUT HER HANDS ON A MAN under any circumstances.
AMEN
- she could have at least agreed to have her head shaved and be dunked in a Public pool for provoking him – puke, puke – he is cunning enough not to leave any marks on her in the future
