Chris Brown On Oprah Taking the Side of Rihanna

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 03:55:14 +0000

Chris Brown went on Larry King, and criticized Oprah for dedicating a show on domestic violence to Rihanna. Brown said:

"I commend Oprah on being like, ’This is a problem,’ but it was a slap in my face. I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school. She could have been more helpful, like, ’Okay, I’m going to help both of these people out.’ "

Brown went on Oprah for free publicity to sell his music, so it’s not like Oprah owes him anything.

When it comes to violence between men and women, our society stills thinks of women like they did back in the 1800s, the woman is always the victim, and all men are bad because they rule the world, which directly contradicts our equal society where woman have more financial wealth than men. It must be nice being a woman, because it means you’re always the victim, never have to accept responsibility or the consequences for your actions, and you can demand more equality from men, which means demanding more dominance over men who try to accomadate women’s demands at their own expense.

Oprah was only appealing to what people think today, and want to hear. Oprah is running a business, not trying to help men like Brown who feels like a victim, because the other person who hit him, Rihanna, is out partying in Las Vegas, making music videos, and enjoying her lucrative career, while Brown has to live under 5 years of probation, however many hours of community service, and has to convince people he’s not a woman beater.

It sucks to be a man who gets hit by a woman, and reacts as nature programmed him to do. If we’re going to say Brown should have to answer for hitting Rihanna, then we, as an equal society, need to say the same of Rihanna.

I can say one positive thing about Brown, at least his bow tie is getting smaller.

Chris Brown Speaks Out on Rihanna

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:21:30 +0000

Chris Brown told Larry King he doesn’t remember getting violent with her and is still shocked the incident happened. The interview with Larry will air on Wednesday. Chris said:

"When I look at it now, it’s just like, wow, like, I can’t, I can’t believe that, that actually happened."

Though a judge has ordered Brown to stay 100 yards away from her for the next five years Brown, 20, tells King that he is still in love with Rihanna, 21. He said it’s been "difficult" not being able to see her. (Asked about her dating other men," Brown said, "I definitely would be affected by it, but, at the end of the day, I mean, we’re not together, so, if she’s happy, I’m cool." He added, "We’ll always be friends."

Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault on June 22 in a deal that helped him avoid up to five years in jail. On August 25, he was formally sentenced to five years of probation and six months of community labor service.

Brown told King that "everything comes with consequences. They want me to pick up trash remove graffiti. I’m a hard worker. It’s something I’m willing to do."

Along with his mother Joyce Hawkins, Brown told King how he grew up in an abusive home. Hawkins said her husband beat her, and Brown said he knew it:

"I used to be scared to go to bed."

But he said he is not blaming his past for the attack on Rihanna.

"Nobody taught us how to love one another. Nobody taught us a book on how to, how to control our emotions or our anger," he said. "I wish I could have changed that night."

"I just need to prove to people I can be a role model," Brown later said. "That’s not who I am as a person, and that’s not who I promise I want to be."

"I made a mistake," he continued, "and I, and it was just something I have to live up and own."

The greatest tragedy of all is that Rihanna is not being held responsible for her actions that night. Rihanna did a lot of things to provoke Chris that night, including hitting him first. As long as women are allowed to be violent with men with no consequences, men will continue to be victimized and abused by women, and then a court system that denies men the right to defend themselves, and instead holds the man responsible for the woman’s violence, and his response to it.

Rihanna has a problem with violence, and controlling her emotions. Rihanna should have received the same sentence as Brown. America has a long way to go before women and men are equal.

In my opinion, both Brown and Rihanna are equally to blame for what happened that night, and they should have faced the same legal consequences. They were both violent with each other, except Brown’s wounds are less physical, and more emotional, and emotional pain is far worse than physical pain, but that’s another topic altogether.

Chris Brown Apologizes

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 06:06:40 +0000

Chris Brown released a video taped apology for "the incident in February." If Brown had not mentioned Rihanna’s name, we might be confused as to what "incident in February" he was talking about.

In our opinion we believe this video was a huge mistake for the following reasons.

Chris did not appear to be sincere. When he mentions "role model" at the end of his statement it becomes clear he only released this video in an attempt to pursuade fans to buy his records again.

Chris read a statement that had already been written ahead of time, which is why he couldn’t look into the camera. A real apology isn’t read, it is stated from the heart without preparation, and with some emotion, which Chris did not display.

Whenever Chris would start to mention the "incident" he would close his eyes, because he doesn’t want to face the reality of what he was a part of, then he would nervously lick the side of his mouth.

Chris did not apologize directly to Rihanna in the video, but only alluded to a private explanation he gave to her about his actions.

Chris did not directly apology to fans either, but rather alluded to the disappointment he caused them.

There are so many things wrong with this video taped apology it’s hard not to pick it apart.

While we believe Rihanna is just as much at fault as Brown, we would advise Brown to attend some classes, read some books, mature some, and take some time before he issues a real apology. Brown’s acting skills aren’t sufficient to make us believe he is sorry for his part in the "incident in February."

Brown still has a lot to learn, and so does Rihanna. Since neither seem to have learned much, we will probably see both involved in more domestic disputes with other people in the coming years.

Chris Brown Sued by Robert Rosen

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 28 May 2009 15:42:27 +0000

Chris Brown is being sued by Robert Rosen, who is the same photographer that sued Pierce Brosnan in 2007, and that lawsuit was dismissed.

Rosen sued Brown and LA Fitness International, claiming he was assaulted by a bodyguard after snapping pictures in a gym in Universal City. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for multiple claims, including assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence.

Rosen says while he snapped photos of Brown and friends on the basketball court at the LA Fitness on May 1 Brown’s bodyguards assaulted him, and caused him to fall down a flight of stairs after being chased.

The lawsuit does not allege violence by Brown.

Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, said in a statement:

"This is a specious and frivolous lawsuit by one of the paparazzi seeking publicity and a payday. He’s done this before and lost. We will vigorously defend against this."

On the same day that Rosen filed the lawsuit Brown uploaded two videos to YouTube where he said:

"Everybody that’s haters, they just be’in haters. All my real fans, I love you. I ain’t a monster."

Brown has been accused of being involved in a lot of violent altercations lately. He may not be a monster, but he is in need of some counseling for his inability to control his temper.

In the video below Rosen limped out of LA Fitness with a broken leg, and made the statement below on video that completely contradicts everything he claims in his lawsuit against Brown:

"Yeah, Chris didn’t want to talk. Chris is a good guy. I have nothing against Chris. His bodyguard is doing his job, so more power to him. If I ever hit the lottery I’m hiring that guy. The broken leg was my fault, I fell. I was running down the steps, and I fell, so that wasn’t incurred due to his bodyguard, it was incurred due to the incurred fear of his bodyguard."

When asked if Rosen had anything to say to Chris Brown Rosen said:

"Hey Chris, sorry man, no big deal."

Good luck winning that lawsuit Rosen, with a video like this that clearly vindicates both Chris Brown, his bodyguard, and LA Fitness.

Chris Brown Denies Black Eye

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 27 May 2009 17:44:51 +0000

Chris Brown made a couple of short videos where he says he is "not a monster," and that Rihanna did not have a "black eye."

Brown calls the blogs liars for saying Rihanna had a black eye. It’s true, the picture doesn’t show a black eye.

Some say Brown is talking about another violent altercation, and Brown is saying he himself does not have a black eye, but his statement is open to interpretation, because he doesn’t specify who he is talking about.

Does Chris realize it makes him look worse when he acts like the fight he had with Rihanna was no big deal? Chris shouldn’t be talking at all.

Chris Brown Pleads Not Guilty

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 01:22:26 +0000

Chris Brown appeared in court today with his attorney Mark Geragos, and plead not guilty to the charges against him regarding a domestic dispute with Rihanna.

The charges against Brown are assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury and making criminal threats. If convicted on both charges, he faces a maximum sentence of four years and eight months in prison.

Although Rihanna attacked Brown first, our sexist courts would never believe a man who claims self defense, nor has Rihanna been charged with a crime for attacking Brown. Equality does not exist for men in the United States.

The next hearing in the case is scheduled for April 29.

Rihanna is Partying in Barbados

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 04:32:44 +0000

Rihanna has returned to her native Barbados for a little carefree partying. Rihanna is pictured above with the island’s Prime Minister David Thompson, while she holds an Ethiopian flag.

Chris Brown is due in court tomorrow morning where he is expected to plead not guilty. Rihanna does not have to be present at the hearing. There are rumors that Brown wants a plea deal, however, with Rihanna making it clear she wants the charges dropped, the prosecution may do exactly that.

Chris Brown Playing Basketball

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 07:25:48 +0000

Chris Brown played a game of pickup basketball at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia on Tuesday evening.

We’re happy to see he is keeping himself busy with healthy activities.

Rihanna Still Working with Prosecutors

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 04:20:15 +0000

Donald Etra, who is the attorney for Rihanna, says rumors today that said she is not cooperating with prosecutors is "totally incorrect." The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman, Sandi Gibbons, agreed saying:

"We have been in contact with her attorney, and he has always said she is a cooperating victim."

In the sexist court system, Rihanna is a victim even though she hit Chris Brown first. Rihanna is more of an accomplice.

Gibbons added:

"There is no need for her to appear next Monday. She is not the defendant, Chris Brown is."

We’ll see what happens on Monday April 6.

The best decision Rihanna and Brown made was staying away from each other.

Rihanna and Chris Brown Intimate Tape

Hollywood Grind — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 03:10:43 +0000

Star magazine claims Rihanna and Chris Brown made an intimate tape that Rihanna fears could be released. Star cites a source that allegedly says:

"Rihanna has no issues with her sexuality, but she’d be mortified if her friends and family found this out!"

"This whole beating incident is terribly humiliating for her. She’s already traumatized and will do anything to make it all go away as quickly as possible."

Whatever. This story is complete B.S. Star is trying to fabricate a story to excuse Rihanna for trying to keep Brown from being convicted of assaulting her. The fact is, Rihanna hit Brown first, and she hasn’t been charged. We think Rihanna is doing the right thing, because they are both equally guilty. Authorities need to cut Brown loose, and order both of them into counseling, or charge Rihanna too. Apply the law equally, or not at all.

We wish there was a tape, and there could be, but we don’t believe Star’s story.
