When discussing Chris Brown it's impossible to forget the 2009 incident where he physically assaulted his girlfriend. What is it? What? What a watcher and Rihanna who as we know was and still is one of the most popular stars of the past decade. some of you from that moment on were never a fan of Chris Brown again, and while it did leave a stain on his reputation, being forever associated with this disgraceful incident basically didn't hurt his career at all. today.

Chris Brown has over 50 million monthly listeners, has more Gold Records than Elvis and is still selling out stadiums all over the world. Just last week he posted on Instagram about how people still hate him for a mistake he made at 17. but Chris Brown has made a mistake almost every year for the past decade. He seemingly isn't a changed man.

so why didn't his career end today? You will find out exactly why. stay hydrated by early 2009. Chris and Ryan Here's here's what I think happened and what I think uh is happening in well, money won Yes, but I think I think because he just didn't stop doing what he does right I don't judge music and I never never has and even even before this I mean I I live because I'm saying that I didn't like music before so I'm not even being a a Dick Rider laser. Okay, she just kept doing the same thing right.

It just kept producing music and getting people because at the end of the day at the end of the day okay I hate to tell you this I hate to tell you chat Okay I'm gonna I'm gonna give you exactly what how society works. Why If this guy continues making music, Why Why would he be canceled right for brutally assaulting somebody? Right when people glorified people that make good music and when some of them have killed people and and going going to jail for it, people say free this guy. all he did is do a double murder. Music is sick free him but then people are gonna say oh my God like cancel him because he he really has over this lady.

People are ridiculous Hypocrites um especially because I'm the dudes are doing really dumb okay that's the reality of it I Don't want to hear it Dude people don't like to look. It feels like I like to look it's a mirror back at them Were considered a music industry As long as you make something that people want to consume as long as they give you what they want right, they don't give a of what you have done. That's just how it is. Hitmaker Power Couple Rihanna Had two number one hits SOS and Umbrella along with a number of hits such as Pondereplay Unfaithful Don't Stop the Music Shut Up and Drive Disturbia which was actually written by Chris Brown Take A, Bow and many others.

His office also had two number one songs his debut Run It and Kiss, Kiss along with other hits like Say Goodbye, Give Me That Yo, take you down with you and Forever heading into the 51st Annual. Grammy Awards They were both scheduled to perform separately as well as receiving more like this is the Most in like I Think this is why I I I'm gonna be honest with you, whatever factor in life made you think that this is okay to write whatever whatever thing that that sparked your head to come up with this over time and then you writing this is is it the most is can I get a welcome to the gym Major factor in in a why we're so up and Society is falling apart I Think that there's a massive instance multiple of a black mold spreading in people's brains and nobody can stop it. Well, nominations for various categories. However, these plans ended abruptly when media Outlets reported that the couple would not be attending the red carpet and their performances were canceled shortly afterward.

Early that morning, Chris had been arrested following a domestic altercation in a rented Lamborghini that left Rihanna's face bloodied, bruised and swollen. But to fully understand what occurred that night, we must backtrack. When the couple initially began dating, Chris and Rihanna were now your typical teenage romance. They couldn't dine at restaurants or book hotel rooms without Paparazzi flooding the parking lot.

With so much power, influence, and a lack of privacy at such a young age, things were bound to get ugly. Chris Told Rihanna that he wanted to marry her before he proposed. He wanted to come clean and admit that he had slept with one of his female assistants. Rihanna Was floored She could no longer trust Chris for hiding this from her for so long.

especially since Rihanna asked Chris years ago if he ever slept with this woman. my trust totally was the loss with her. You know what? I'm saying, you hate him. You know after that I tried everything like we'll fight each other.

She would hit me away at her and but it never was okay. There were actually two previous domestic abuse related incidents before the Grammys. The first offense cited occurred in Europe about three months before his arrest. Chris and Rihanna were engaged in a verbal dispute when she slapped him and he responded by shoving her into a wall.

The report also states that in January Brown and Rihanna were vacationing in Barbados and got into an argument while they were riding around in a borrowed Range Rover No injuries were reported, but Brown got out of the vehicle and smashed the driver. all the widows the oldest thing had it. brother. If you get hit first though, um, well, it's self-defense Okay, that's a bad face argument because in a lot of situations, you can extract yourself incredibly easily.

Okay, that's not how self-defense works. Okay, if somebody is no longer a threat. okay, and if there's A ways for you to extract out of there what that is not how self-defense works, there's no threat anymore. What are you defending against anymore at that point? What are you going against it for? For it to be defense, there's to be a threat that is still there that's going to go on you.

That's how self-defense Works Otherwise, they assault you. Okay, I assault you. They're both assaults. You're not self-defensing it.

That's not how that works. Your kids are so dumb. it is both legally and morally wrong. You're wrong.

Driver and front passenger side windows. dude. you guys it's the same thing with with guns. people think oh dude, oh is this gonna do this.

Boom boom that's how that works. There are so many components to it then like like if somebody eventually they did something and enter fleeing you just go boom boom Is that what is it? But on February 8th it all reached a Tipping Point and it was about to get bad. Chris who was 18 at the time and Rihanna who was 19 arrived at the Executive Clive Davis's legendary pre-grammy bash. The couple were approached by the woman Chris had slept with before his relationship with Rihanna The woman who sparked trust issues between the two Chris claimed he didn't know she would be there, but Rihanna was upset nonetheless.

She began crying before the ceremony started. However, as the night continued, she gradually got over it. They drank, laughed, and enjoyed their night before leaving the venue. Up until that point.

Yeah, Explained: the couple had a blast that night. Dude, you're just a dude, you're an actual abuser person. I'm actually gradually got over it. They drank, laughed, and enjoyed their night before leaving the venue.

Up until that point, everything was fine. As Rihanna explained, the couple had a blast that night. On the drive home, Rihanna discovered a lengthy text message on Chris's phone from the woman they had encountered earlier that night. Chris claimed he never saw the message, but Rihanna felt like she caught him in a lie and he wouldn't tell the truth.

She wouldn't drop the issue and couldn't accept that he could be lying to her. Rihanna felt like Chris's back was against the wall and it caused him to get enraged and become violent. Chris on the other hand, offered a different story. off top she thought I was lying, she starts going off, she throws the phone I hate you.

whatever, whatever starts hitting me wearing a new Lamborghini you know she's fighting me and I'm like look, I'm telling you the truth I Swear to God you know I'm telling you the truth. Stop it. So then she hits me. If you close, the light will do anything.

Yeah, wait yo. what does almost do with anything? A couple more times and I just kind of I just it doesn't go from translation to let's sit down I'm telling you the truth it goes to now I'm feeling be mean and be evil So then I remember she like tried to kick me. it's like her just being upset but then I really hit her like I was a closed face like I punched him it kicked me. it's like her just being upset but then I really hit it was the closest like I punched him you know and it uh busted her lip and when I saw it I was in shock.

why did I hit her like that? So from there she's just spit in my face like it's the blood in my face and I'm like and it enraged me even more. like like it's a real-on fight in a car we driving in the street. so then I'm like yo Chris says that he didn't start the verbal or physical fight but he does admit that he retaliated violently and I was wrong according to the detective statement. yeah.

made frantic calls and texts to her staff after Chris allegedly threatened to assault her when they arrived home. the Outreach only angered Brown more and he continued his barrage of punches as the vehicle swerved. all Rihanna could think to herself was when is it going to stop eventually Chris pulled over Brianna ripped the keys out of the ignition and pretended to throw them out the window, forcing Chris to exit the vehicle while searching for the keys Rihanna yelled help he's trying to kill me a neighbor Jesus screams yo chat is I'm gonna give a bug this is some five head I need to get credit record to do and it's kind of like in the scenario because it's sad what's going on that is like some one million head plate did it I don't just thought about on the fly-ish by using question marker. it's incredibly intelligent.

What are you on about dude and the way this, the way this is described makes me think that that the witch describes the the threat and the fear is real. It just that that's how that's how it is and immediately dialed 9-1-1 while Rihanna remained there until authorities arrived because when you think you're gonna die, you come up with we're going with plans. They get you there regardless of anything. that's why I said that because when you think you will actually die, you come up with plans and things and thoughts that regardless of what how it looks, you might survive it and this is how it feels to me.

that's it I'll 9-1-1 frustrated Chris walked home while Rihanna remained there until authorities arrived after their Grammy's appearance was canceled. The public soon learned about the truth regarding what occurred earlier that day. following the news leaking to the media. Publications TMZ released a photo of Rihanna where she sustained visible injuries.

someone in the police department leaked the photo Rihanna described this person as a very nasty woman who thought a check was more important than morals. If Chris's situation wasn't bad before, the visual representation of his actions made it significantly worse. He eventually turned himself into the authorities and was booked Under Suspicion of making criminal threats. It's important to keep in mind that we didn't truly hear Chris's side of the story until 2017, nearly 10 years later because he chose to publicly admit his wrongdoings.

With this apology he uploaded to the internet hi I'm Chris Brown Since February my attorney has advised me not to speak out even though ever since the incident I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility. although I would do some interviews and answer some questions in the future. I felt it was time that you heard directly from me that I am sorry He carried that same sentiment to court as he pleaded guilty to felony assault in August of 2009 Chris received five years of probation He was ordered to attend one year of domestic violence counseling and undergo six months of community service after the trial. Rihanna broke her silence I fell in love with that person.

That's embarrassing. That's embarrassing that that's the type of person that I fell in love with I mean so far in love. so unconditional that I went back on average I Think it takes a woman seven times before she leaves eight or nine actually and I don't want that to happen then Chris publicly responded: is it difficult for you to hear Rihanna say those things? It is. It's real difficult, it hurts, but it's just.

it's just something that I have to be responsible for because I'm responsible for my actions. He did the right thing by admitting his wrongdoings, but he still lost sponsorships, bookings, and radio play. Despite the backlash, he decided to release an album in 2009, Graffiti, which debuted at number seven on the Billboard Hot 200 and sold 102 000 copies in the first week. This is still his worst performing album, but it's also easily his word.

The Narrative is built. bro bro. The guy pled to be guilty to to a felony and you said it's a narrative brother. that's a criminal charge that he pled guilty to.

There's no narrative here, that's that's just wore a sounding album. At the time, people thought his career was ruined, but actually this was only a minor setback. Chris was about to dominate for the next decade and although he claimed he was going to change his actions, that couldn't be further from the truth. I saw and I'm continuing to seek help to ensure that what occurred in February can never happen again.

and as I sit here today I can tell you that I would do everything in my power to make sure that it never happens again. And I promise that Chris was never blackballed from the music industry. Just one year after pleading guilty, he was booked to perform a Michael Jackson tribute at the 2010 P-e-t Awards. During the performance, he famously began crying and fell to his knees while singing.

Jackson's Man in the Mirror foreign sparked a positive reaction as viewers and celebrities alike praised his ability to be vulnerable while honoring his Idol. This performance completely changed the public perception of him. Those tears won over the hearts of his fans and haters. They thought everyone deserves a second chance, especially someone as talented as Chris Brown Coming off the positive press, Chris released another hit called Deuces The three Times Platinum single was remixed by some of the biggest names in hip-hop including Drake Kanye West Andre 3000 and Rick Ross Chris Thought the world forgave him and in February 2011 Rihanna's restraining order against Christmas as a judge allowed the two to have contact with each other but the world didn't forget which made him very angry.

Have you been able to? How have you been able to focus on his album? You know I Think this. this album is what you know I want people to hear and want people to really get into. So definitely this album is what I want them to talk about it now because stuff that happened two years ago after this agitated interview Chris stormed off the Good Morning America set screaming down the hallway he allegedly threw a chair at his dressing room window which caused the glass to shatter on the street below, ripped his shirt off and taunted one of The Producers before ultimately leaving the studio photographed dog Street After lashing out later that day, he posted a now deleted tweet that read I'm so over people bringing this passionate up yet We praised Charlie Sheen and other celebs for their bull. Chris Appeared in an interview days later and apologized for his Outburst Luckily for Chris he found one woman who was there for him during all the chaos: karuchi Tran They had been private about their relationship but were seen together a lot in early 2011 until the pair ultimately decided to make their relationship officially published.

Chris then dropped his 2011 album Fame which stood for Forgiving All My Enemies. The album was a major success with hit singles like Look At Me Now and Yeah Times Three Chris Was able to sell 270 000 copies first week and earned his first number one album. The next year, he dropped a fortune which would be his second number one album. back to back, Number Ones proved that Chris Brown's music was good enough to look Beyond on his demons.

It also helped that every major artist in the industry was totally fine with working with him, but he was about to get the biggest co-sign that would fundamentally restore his reputation that would come from. Rihanna Chris appeared on the remix of Rihanna's song Birthday Cake In Return Rihanna featured on Turn Up The Music The records were very controversial due to their past. Rihanna said she didn't understand the controversy. She didn't see how people could think it was a bad thing.

Rihanna's defense over the music made it clear that she had forgiven Chris but she took it a step further when she went on Oprah to publicly speak on their relationship. He made that mistake because he needed help and like who's going to help him. Nobody's gonna say it, he needs help. Everybody's gonna say he's he's a monster with without looking at the source I was more concerned about him that is really powerful.

Well have you forgiven him I Have forgiven him. The person who was undoubtedly the victim in the situation. you say true Okay, but there are certain things Okay, sometimes you have to be listen I Respect everybody's experience. Okay I actually think overall overall in my in my perspective which is useless here.

Okay I just feel like I just feel like it. Yes, somebody might need help. Yes somebody has problems. Need somebody.

Yes, all this stuff right. But what they do to other people and the harm they cause still can be justified. And that's where. like I hold a line.

that's what I you don't in my opinion if you go down from that line right then just if they slippery slow but and it it it it crumbles. That's where you hold the line. you gotta, you gotta hold it down. The assailant.

That was enough for fans to fully Embrace Chris Again, you know man. like I said man, people make mistakes and if Rihanna's willing to forgive Chris and everybody else need to mind him a business and forgive Chris too. It seemed ludicrous for fans to hold this over Chris's head when Rihanna herself felt compassion for him Chris and Karucci ended up splitting up during this time. Chris shared his struggles with loving two women at the same time.

You know when you share history with somebody that you tend to fall in love with somebody else. Kind of difficult, You know what? I'm saying? Rihanna and Chris began dating again. he made a mistake and he's paid his dues Rihanna says. Because of her support and their rekindled relationship, his reputation to the public was fully restored.

Yes, um, people can reform and change. That is not what I said it. That is not what all my camera and for the next 10 years he would have a wildly successful career despite a long list of criminal charges. In January of 2013, Chris got into a verbal altercation with Frank Ocean over a parking space, calling him a homophobic slur and then punched him in the face while two of Brown's friends jumped in.

Chris was captured in public wearing a hard cast on his right hand days later with no explanation for his injury despite clearly being assaulted. Frank ultimately chose to not press charges later on in 2013 Brown was arrested for felony assault in Washington DC where he and his bodyguard Christopher Halsey Warren Yeah, I'm sure the chatter is back in China saying yo, dude, that's third chance Oh no yo wait What about a four chance? Oh no Oh yo Wait Yes and this is the fifth chance. This is the one. Oh My God brother.

Listen, this is the one. I Swear physical altercation with two men outside of the W Hotel Keep in mind he was still on probation from the 2009 Rihanna assault. He would plead guilty to this assault in 2014. one month later, he was booted from a rehab facility after smashing his mother's car window during a family session in early 2014.

A judge ordered Chris Brown to stay another two months in a Malibu rehab where doctors blame the R B singers violent past on previously undiagnosed PTSD and bipolar disorder. They said he was responding to the treatment well in May of 2014 Chris Brown was ordered to spend 131 days in Los Angeles County Jail by a superior court judge in California after the singer admitted to violating the terms of his probation, but he was released after 60 days. Then he released his album X which sold 146 000 copies first week and debuted number two on the Billboard Hot 100. in January of 2015, his probation was revoked after he left the Los Angeles County area to host a private party that led to five people getting shot.

Him and Karucci finally break up for good in 2015 when she found out that Chris impregnated another woman. In May of 2015, a man alleged that Chris hit him after an argument over a basketball game at the Palms Casino Resort but Chris denied and the alleged victim didn't press charges. He dropped his 2015 album royalty selling 184 000 units first week and debuted number three on the Billboard Hot 200 in January 2016. Brown was investigated by the police also.

I I hate this The people that say oh dude this is a mistake this is a mistake This is a mistake. A lot of these things aren't they Just there are elaborate mistakes that have boom boom and it's it's a scheme of a multiple mistakes. it's something that that has just time to think about. There's something that that you that you sleep with it.

it's a it's a line of compound and mistakes that what were you saying oh did you do is to mistaken. It's not like it flipping a switch on and offer it's multiple like Los Angeles after a woman alleged that he'd beat her and bro people are going to go out there and say yo bro sorry man I cheated with this girl and I her it was a mistake brother I was I was walking, she went too close and my dick went Bing no what are you all about? What is this? There's a initial contact flirting DMS the it's it's a series of mistakes like we're all about her cell phone during a party at the Palms Casino Resort He was not charged in June of 2016. He sued by his ex-manager Mike G and claimed that Chris Brown brutally attacked him, punching him four times in the face and neck. This matter was settled out of court in 2019.

In August 2016, a woman called the police and claimed that Chris threatened her with a gun outside of his home. He repeatedly proclaimed his innocence and was eventually arrested and later released from jail on a 250 000 bail. But he sued the woman for defamation and won through incriminating text messages. The woman told her friend, don't you know this free Chris Brown is kicking me out of his house because I called his friends jewelry fake.

Can you come get me? my Uber is messing up. If not, I'm going to set him up and call the cops and say that he tried to shoot me and that will teach him a lesson. I'm going to set his ass up Him winning this suit is huge because it started to put into question oh yeah, messing up Uh I'm not lesson I'm going to set his ass up. Him winning the suit is Huge because it started to put into question.

how many times he could have been falsely accused because of his status and because of his past. His character continued to be defaced by allegations highlighted by the media as many of his crimes were dropped to the people not pressing charges or lack of evidence In April 2017 Tampa Police Said Brown Allegedly sucker punched a 28 year old club promoter during a paid appearance. The charges were dropped due to insignificant evidence. His ex Karucci filed a five-year restraining order against Chris and won Tran claimed that after the couple broke up, Brown demanded that she returned diamond rings and other gifts that she had received during their relationship.

When she refused Brown reportedly texted her I'm not being nice to you no more if I see you out in public again and I'm there I will make you hate me even more. Don't be anywhere I'm out in public I'm going to ban you from all events In another text he allegedly wrote: I will beat the out of you and I promise you I will make your life hell in February Tran Claimed in a sworn statement that Brown had previously punched, punched me in my stomach twice and pushed me down the stairs and separate reports Chris Allegedly threatened to kill her in January 2019 Authorities in Paris detained Chris his bodyguard and a friend on potential charges of aggravated and Drug infractions a woman filed a complaint with the police alleging she was assaulted at his suite at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Chris and his associates were released from custody without charge just two days later. Paris Authorities kept the investigation open and Chris retaliated by following a defamation lawsuit against a woman in the summer of 2019. Chris Dropped his ninth studio album Indigo His criminal past seemingly once again had no effect on his commercial sales as Indigo debuted at number one on the U.S Billboard 200, making it his third number one album.

I Stopped in 29. I Think I Think this is the case of the people that do have a solid, solid case, whatever right when they do like, add a core settlement, drop that thing, whatever the right then at that point. I Don't think they can establish a pattern of behavior like in the further. further infractions, because nobody went through with it, right? because it's a bunch of things going between, right and then nothing actually happens.

So after that, that's just. that's not what is though. that that is generally how that works. Yes, but every year he seems to have a major allegation or a rest.

Ultimately, Chris Complaining about being tired of this Narrative of him being an abuser or violent man is fully self-inflicted Every six months to a year, there's a new story about him punching someone or being violent towards someone. So is this narrative really about? Honestly, it can be innocent. all I'm all I'm saying all I'm saying is that I feel like um I feel like somebody said he gets he he hit his first time a while back, right? she's here a while back. Hold up right? then he reformed right? Do you think that the like, what is it 16 times that he was violent or was it afterwards or or all of them made up back to back to back to back? Do you think that this is all? it's all of it I Think that's short-sighted I Think that's very short-sighted That's how it is.

that's about the Rihanna incident or repeated behavior. And for him to complain seems odd because his career has never been held up, he's never fallen off, and he's never been blackballed. Three number one albums, 114 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 11 top 10 hits and nearly 200 million records sold. Most people choose to.

The point is that one turn around right is good for PR and I get that. but it doesn't invalidate to all the other cases that didn't have an uh A a full verdict in a court of law. That's stupid. Look the other way regarding his legal issues because they love his music so much.

Most people are separating the art from the artist when it comes to Chris Brown Most people don't care about his violent history, so if you're a person who hates cancel culture, you look at Chris Brown as a success story for everyone else. I Guess you're just hoping it doesn't get worse. One thing Chris Brown is right about is people tuning in to see Blueface and Christian beat the snot out of each other in front of the world and that's not okay, but you can hear all about that in this video. Yo this is X x on the video I'm going through my voice as well that is anyone knows that boy I Don't know.

He's just so soy. anyone knows that boy I Don't know, He's just so soy.
