Well, I look at the situation like this.......:huh:

I don't care about Chris Brown. Seems a whole bunch of stones being thrown at Chris Brown and Micheal Vick. I still don't get the comparison to Mel Gibson not being forgiven Robert Downey Jr got an award and told people to forgive his friend Mel Gibson and people applauded that during a different award ceremony. What are you really comparing and trying to say about that without actually saying it. Sin is sin to God. If you steal a pencil vs stealing gold you are still a thief. Micheal Vick was abusing dogs, Ozzy Osbourne bites the heads off living bats...it's still a living creature , an animal being abused. Chris Brown beat Rihanna and Stone Cold Steve Austin beat the hell out of his wife on a regular basis but people still idolized him too. What I'm saying is there are so many people rewarded that commit sins. Wrong is wrong. I bet more than 50% of people posting like some celebrity whether it be a book writer, singer, dancer, famous entrepreneur, politician that commits sin. Chris Brown got a grammy, so from now on boycott the grammy's. I'm glad I missed it because from the bits on the media I saw of Nicki Manaj performance scared me.

If you're interested, there's a good article on Slate about not forgiving Chris Brown. In the comments though, someone said this - that Glen Campbell had been accused of physical abuse by Tanya Tucker - she said at one point he knocked out some of her teeth. Should he have not been allowed to perform because of that?

Alec Baldwin has said horrible things to his teenage daughter, and an airline flight attendant who asked him to turn off his iPad - and he just won his sixth Emmy in a row. Michael Vick financed dog fights and he's now back in the NFL. Plaxico Burress brought a gun into a nightclub and shot himself in the leg (could've injured others) and is back in the NFL. Roman Polanksi was accused of raping a girl and we still watch his movies. Michael Jackson was accused of molestation by two separate boys (never proven guilty though) and yet was very wealthy and loved. We still watch these people. But we don't forgive Mel Gibson for going on an Anti-Semitic rant? Our judgement system is a little messed up.

I think a lot of the publicity has a lot to do with our time. We see everything instantly on the internet and TV. If this had happened years ago, we would've never heard about it. But now days our policy is to invade celebrity lives and report everything. If the Glen Campbell thing had happened this year instead of many years ago, believe me, we would know more. Would we be as outraged? I don't know.

He didn't punch ME in the face, I don't have to forgive him for anything as far as I'm concerned.

Coco_Puff

Who's Chris Brown?

umachanxo

I don't know him or the situation, tbh.

I looked this up after a co-worker said how much she loves his music a while ago. I couldn't believe that any woman would give this man their money after what he's done.

I have zero-tolerance for domestic abuse, and I thought that most of society did to. I'm really surprised to see so many women ok with listening to and supporting (buying CD's etc) of someone that is an abuser of this magnitude.

Bakkasan

If you don't like the man, don't buy his music.

This part I do not agree with. Separate the man from his art. He is still a scumbag who beats women like a BOSS. But by all means if you like his music buy it.

I still watch Mel, I still watch Woody Allen and Morgan Freeman. If you don't know, Woody and Morgan did the same thing marrying their stepdaughters which is pretty damn reprehensible.

As far as Robyn 'Rhianna' forgiving the sod, who cares. When she finds herself with a mouth full of blood over the next time he is plowing another woman behind her back, she will remember why she left the first time.

While I understand the psychology of being an abused woman and I don't think Rihanna deserved what happened to her (and I don't see that Brown is all that sorry about it, either), I want to make this point, since others compared this to Michael Vick:

Rihanna was an ADULT woman with a LOT of money and resources who could have left that relationship any time she wanted to (does anyone believe the day he got caught was the first time it happened?). The dogs Vick victimized were truly helpless and at his mercy, tied up, kept in cages and had no resources or anyone to help them.

Brown, while wrong on so many levels, lashed out in anger. Vick and his pals enjoyed to pain they inflicted.

Vick and his pals were running a business (albeit an illegal one), you can't really say they took pleasure from what they did unless you were there. All I am saying is that they fulfilled the terms of their sentencing. Life should carry on. Of course, no one should ever trust Mike Vick with a dog again, and any woman considering getting involved with Chris Brown should be careful, but their careers are completely separate from their personal lives.

CAN'T say he didn't enjoy it? ARE YOU SERIOUS? Someone with so much money doesn't run that kind of schummy business and not enjoy it. It wasn't his only source of income, I can guarantee he doesn't feel bad about it, in fact he never would have apologized except for the public finding out and his career going to ****. I think it's awful what Chris Brown did, no person deserves to be treated like he treated Rihanna,(unless your name is michael vick), but unless your with some serious psycho you can always escape a bad situation unlike a defenseless animal who is by nature sweet and loyal and lives it's life being torn to shreds.

If you were constantly being harassed with questions over something you did years ago, you'd get pissed too. Sure, he should've known better, but come ON, time to leave him the **** alone.
His crime has nothing to do with his music, so good for him to earning a grammy.

dollymixsix

Absolutely blows my mind that a woman beater was awarded with a grammy and allowed to perform TWICE. Beyond words.

Elzecat

I can't say that it affected me much since I didn't care for him to begin with.

However, I will say that when I turn on the TV and he's on, all I can see is a person that beats women.

I agree with what you posted. Since I don't know him personally, nothing to forgive personally...but I don't respect him and don't watch if he comes on the TV, or listen to his music. Although I didn't listen to his music before, I didn't think he was talented before either.

Cold_Steel

It is funny how many people say they dislike the guy yet he performs twice at the grammy's and does what he did and gets an ovation? That is on us as a society. We created this monster and keep feeding him by accepting the behavior and allowing it to continue...

I have heard a lot of stuff ... like his new pick up line is "Hey I won't beat you" and thinks it is hilarious.

We have allowed it to happen... If his name was not Chris Brown he would have been in jail for a while... But we as a people put celebrities on a different pedestal, one of which I have never understood and is a good display of the general decline of our moral's as a society.

The end of the world as we know it....

Nope. He's a pathetic douche bag, and I'm extremely disappointed in the music industry for allowing him to continue the way he is. It's bull**** and they're basically saying, "Hey, if you make us a lot of money, we'll forgive the fact that you beat the **** out of your then girlfriend." It pisses me off.

This!!

I am not part of the "we" forgeting or forgiving any of these dirtbags. It makes me sick people think because mel gibson made a movie about jesus he should be able to behave like an *kitten* with no consequences. People should at least stop throwing money at the self absorbed morons.

1996gtstang

i have forgotten him lol

xSophia19

I dont care what Chris Brown has done in the past, I personally still love him and he is still and always will be one of my favourite solo artists. He is amazing.

christine24t

Bringing this up again because I'm sure you've all heard the latest about this - that Chris Brown and Rihanna have done two songs together. One is Chris Brown's Turn Up The Music. The other is Birthday Cake

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCWk-RH-tkI&list=FL15NH2CV-SmfkZqjkaKeN6w&index=3&feature=plpp_video

The lyrics are pretty vulgar...what do you all think?

SalishSea

No..he is an abuser there is no forgiveness.
Rihanna ..is not too smart either. I heard they may get back together.

mrskotz8

Ive forgiven him, not that its mine or any of our place to. Rihanna obviously does as she just released a track with him. Its funny how we are quick to judge him but look at Charlie Sheen. Same situation but most of America still loves him. We still hate him because we have a visual of what he actually did and we got that when the picture was released. She hit him first and I fully believe, if you have the balls to hit a man dead in his face, be prepared for the consequences.

joconnor09

definitely not forgiving him. he's done nothing to show that he has any remorse for what he's done. in fact, he's shown continued anger management problems and turned his beating into a joke to try to hit on women!! Rihanna might have forgiven him- that's her business- but i'll never forget that. being good at your job doesn't automatically make you a good person. how rihanna can be friends with him and record a song with him- i have no idea. i think it's irresponsible- it's making it seem like what he did was ok. like there are no consequences to what he did. and all those girls on twitter asking him to beat them?? ridiculous!!!

VeganPanda

There is DEFINITELY something wrong with him getting a standing ovation.

EQHanks

I enjoy his music...but NO!

Srdking

Seriously it's makes me sick he was even at the grammys. For one I think he sucks, and what he did to get is not forgivable. But hey whatever floats her boat. I lose all respect for her as well, if she is going to be back with him.

Yakisoba

Not my play to forgive him, but he could use some humble pie and a boot to the head.

IMO-you should read the police report. He smashed her head against the window and punched her first after they argued over a text. He punched her repeatedly (over 50 times) and tried to choke her out.
