Chris Brown -- How Quickly The Famous Forget

Shaq invited him to play basketball in his private gym, Usher took him to an NBA playoff game, Bow Wow even helped him shoot a YouTube video -- seems like Chris Brown is finally out of celebrity exile.

Chris Brown

At first it was hard to find a celebrity who would take a stand on the incident at all, but now -- just three months after he allegedly beat the crap out of Rihanna -- he's back in the "in-crowd," like the whole thing never happened. He's even dropping an album.

We don't expect Chris is gonna have a sit-down dinner with Jay-Z any time soon... but at this point, would you really be surprised?

49. @ Michelle how sad you sound. You are an educated black female then do the research and look at the stats on domestic abuse for every race. Guess you have to stop dating and join a convent because they all have abusers in them. Also the fact that you only date outside your race shows how closed minded you are and probably how much you actually hate yourself. As far as Chris Brown...most of you didn't buy is music at first (neither did I) so it's not like he gives a care how you feel. He should not have hit her....SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE HIT HIM...it happened and the justice system and his God will decide his fate so STFU please...and thank you

50. @9...you want to date out of your race fine,but don't use this incedent as an exuse. You've obviously wanted to do this for a long time. There are plenty of good black men out there. You just aren't looking in the right places.

51. POINT ONE: A lot of these guys are just as bad as he is about how they treat women. They have a low opinion of women and they feel like they are superior to women. Even Shaq. If they ever slapped a woman around they were just smarter about getting caught. They avoided beating up high profile famous women.
POINT TWO: Chris Brown is more then another singer. He writes and he produces and his songs make money. THAT is what it's all about. $$$$$.If Chris Brown doesn't make money for other people, they will drop him. So don't buy his songs.Even if they are written for someone else. YOu want Chris to "go away" don't support him.

53. Guaranteed he will go ballistic again on somebody. I predict another assault arrest within 16 months. He is contrite and unremorseful and he and all his friends/supporters refuse to accept that he did something horribly wrong. Not taking responsibility for violence and other crimes along with a complete failure to acceppt fault in any manner is pervasive. The complete lack of respect for women is ingrained in the culture and upbringing. Sad, really. This is why the AAC will always be on the bottom looking up. The women are the only hope for the future.

56. CHRIS BROWN IS BACK:

So....by your logic its just peachy to BEAT A WOMAN? Or is it you would want to be forgiven very quickly? I guess then, by your logic this is, your Mother or Sister could take a beating and simply get over it? You are what is wrong with some men in this counrty. Shame on you for your small minded comment.

I wonder if men had a clue HOW it makes women FEEL to be degraded in such a way maybe they might sit on their hands in next argument.

To hit a woman, because you are stronger and can........is the ultimate in low life. To not be able to control yourself because 'she was gettin' in my face' is also the ultimate in low life.

I can understand where Michelle is coimng from. I'm shocked by my black girlfriends who actually think ALL MEN will hit you and cheat. They really believe this with every fiber in their being. That is sad.

Looks like the likes of you are half the problem. Now go get some help, fast. You seem like a real piece of work. I wonder if you have FEMALE realitives? Or do they deserve it?

Posted at 2:54PM on May 27th 2009 by Rethink your comment people

57. If Chris is such a "man" then why doesn't he try some of that sh*t out on Shaq? I guess he just likes to show his "big man" side around people who are physically weaker than him. Anyone who defends this puke is just as bad as he is.

58. This is a shame, but, it doesn't surprise me. Micheal Jackson was supported, as well as, Mike Tyson when they victimized people. The irony is that Shaq has daughters; whom, hopefully, will not meet a Chris Brown. He's a woman beater; his mama was abused, so, he abuses women in the same .

He can throw up all the gang signs and posing before camera's gives us a hint of his immaturity, definitely a lack of business sense, or understanding that the court of public opinion has a long memory, so, perhaps, Brown, should pretend to be contrite. Friends stand by you during bad times, good ones, even when you mess up, but, in a private manner.

The fact is he beat the crap out of that girl..choked her, bit her, and threatened to kill Rhianna. Behind that Colgate smile is a lot of anger and danger for other people; when he explodes.

59. I want him to go away and never come back

60. At Michelle, you need to think more highly of yourself. It's not your race you're mad about. Why do you think there are domestic abouse laws ? You certainly don't think America gave a damn about a black man or woman being abused when those laws were enacted do you. So as you run to the white men that beat their wives and caused the laws to be created, think about the fact that the majority of black people period -male or female- don't fight each other. As a black female, I am outraged at Rihanna as well as Chris - I feel she was/is completely wrong for ever slapping on a man. If he hurt you - walk away. As a human being, I most certainly forgive Chris. I know that he has shown to be a decent kid from day one and if he doesn't make this kind of mistake again. I will support him. As for Rihanna - I am not so sure - I don't understand her staying around if she had to slap him previously. And then she refused to get out of the car when their argument got heated. And TMZ of course is going hard against Chris - hopefully they'll get charged for buying Rihanna's picture. And I agree let them both move on with their life.
