Poor Chris... =/
Now, we're sure almost everyone has heard about the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation that took place Sunday morning--the day of the 51st Grammy Awards--where R&B superstar Chris Brown allegedly physically hit his girlfriend, singer Rihanna. Now because of the fact that this story is CONSTANTLY changing, we're not gonna post an article on this incident until we find a completely accurate source, with all accurate information. [So if you've been under a rock && haven't heard about this incident...GOOGLE IT BABY lol] Na but here's a news clip that you can watch to catch up:
Nevertheless, the following statements are just our personal comments on what we think about the situation...Feel Free to comment on this post as well....&& really read this you guys...We all bring up some really interesting points....You don't have to agree with us...but at least hear us out...Thank you!
[NOTE: all of our comments are based on the information that we knew at the particular moment we wrote these; so as more details come, our opinions may change...so dont take this too personally folks]
Brittany's Comment: Well if you haven't heard the Chris/Rihanna story yet, you must be living under a rock. The story seems oh so very complex already! And though we don't have all of the facts, and we possibly may never have any of the facts, I do believe I have enough information on the story to make SOME judgments. First I want to say that I was always a little iffy about their relationship... Everyone knows that my passion is Public Relations, so I believed that this relationship would do Chris some damage from the start... it helped a little because it made him REALLY cross over into mainstream, and it also helped broaden his audience, HOWEVER, I feared that his younger die-hard fans would feel betrayed... But getting back to the story, I'm not going to comment about what happened because I really don't know, but I would say that I am going to continue to support Chris Brown through this. All of us make decisions that 3 seconds later we regret, some of those decisions are a result of this thing called a 'reflex'... if someone hits you, your initial reflex and instinct tell you to hit that person back. Now in no way am I condoning domestic violence or violence at all, especially a man hitting a woman, BUT, we're all imperfect human beings and it's usually reflex to hit someone back after they've hit you first! MALE OR FEMALE! But as a previous Rihanna fan, I am withdrawing my support from her, you can't just go around irritating people and then hitting them and trying to make them stay with you and expect them not to blow a fuse... I'm just saying! But I will put a disclaimer on here... if the word on the streets becomes that Chris is just crazy and hit her for no reason and all of this other stuff, then I may have to eat my words and withdrawal my support from him... but if the word on the streets continues to be like it is right now, I'm still going to support Chris... By the way! A word to Rihanna... let your yes mean yes and your no, no! You can't just go telling and identifying someone and in the hospital being ridiculous and then call them hours later to apologize after you've ruined their lives. Yeah I mean ruin!!!! Endorsements may possibly end, fans are leaving, parents (the true consumers because their paying for meet and greets and concert tickets and all things Chris Brown for their kids) not spending money, and constant press bashing. So Chris know that you have some supporters out here and next time don't go to an event by yourself, have someone there who can do some thinking FOR YOU, because if you were my pal, after the first hit, or the starts of yelling occurred, I would of tried to calm you down, or suggest that we get a ride from somewhere else...
Bianca's Comment: My girls in NYO and I have had many conference calls about our thoughts on things going down in the entertainment industry, but I never would've imagined we would be having a conversation about Chris Brown having the police after him and being under investigation for a domestic violence case dealing with Rihanna!! The worst I could've imagined that would happen to him is that a sex tape with her would leak, but never this. His actions seem completely out of character for him, so something must've really pissed him off for him to react like that. I just feel really bad that all the blame in the media is being put on him, and that it is being taken this far. I am listening to the radio as I'm writing this, and they are making lots of jokes about it, and calling him the next Ike Turner and all that. That's insane, I feel really bad! This is Chris Brown, the sweet, funny, R & B dude, just leave him alone! I'm sure he has a lot of things running through his head because we all know he didn't mean what he did. I hope Rihanna is okay, but I still don't think it's right she had to involve the police, I'm sorry. That takes things to a whole other level that is not necessary, because with their celebrity status, it would cause even more drama for them then they were already dealing with. I think everyone just needs to stop adding rumors and making critical comments about it all, because no one knows the WHOLE story about what went on between them and the feelings they felt but Rihanna and Chris. Of course that won't happen in this world, but in the end, I hope Chris will be able to bounce back and not let this affect him too personally, or in his career. You see how boring the Grammy's were without Chris there; we need him in the industry!
Denisha's Comment: My…my….my…where do I start with this whole ordeal? I guess first off I wanna mention how NYO has been big supporters of Chris Brown since day 1…&& have got the privilege and opportunity to work with him during our years in Star Wild Media [shout outs to Jeff! lol]…as part of his street team in New York and Michigan. So it’s only natural that we all feel some type of way about this situation because we ACTUALLY have been around to see Chris’s actions BOTH on && off camera…&& I must say…the actions that allegedly took place the other night, does NOT seem like the Brown we all know && luv...&& because of the fact that he has a mother who was a victim of domestic abuse, only makes us believe more that Chris’s actions weren’t done with malice…but rather because of a spontaneous reaction…[aka he probably just blacked out with anger && didn’t think about what he was doing…] which was stupid on his part…but he’s human && we all make mistakes…as for Rihanna…I’m not gonna say much about my personal opinion about the girl…but I will say that I had a feeling from the get-go…that somehow && someway…she was gonna mess up his focus n possibly even his career…but this thing right here?! DEFINITELY didn’t see this coming..&& I think I can speak on behalf of myself && NYO when I say that we’re definitely still in awe && disbelief over this whole matter…now I’m not condoning the fact that he hit her…cause without a doubt that’s completely wrong…&& no man should EVER put his hands on a woman...BUT Rihanna had to have done something to get him to that level of provocation…where he felt the need to…On another note…sources are now saying that there are statements from Rihanna’s people saying that she didn’t want Chris to get in trouble && that a friend was the one who called the police…but that’s kinda hard to believe considering the fact that if she REALLY didn’t want Chris to get in trouble over the situation…she could have stopped the person from calling …point blank…so that wasn’t a good excuse whatsoever…but at the end of the day…no one is going to be affected over this whole thing more than Chris Brown…he’s the one that’s going through the hot water…with bad publicity…&& outside people who are jumping to conclusions over this matter without knowing all the details…Chris now will forever n always have this incident on his record…PLUS…there’s a possibility that he loses endorsement deals…record sales…his good rep…&& most importantly…his fans….smh…I REALLY hope things work out for Chris Brown…but no matter what…NYO is definitely still here to support him && will continue to pray that things turn out for the better…KEEP UR HEAD UP CHRIS!
