RiRi Clone -- Chris Brown Didn't Use Me

The Rihanna clone pictured with Chris Brown at the Lakers/Magic game on Sunday wants to make one thing clear -- she wasn't part of a Chris Brown PR conspiracy.



We spoke with Teyana Taylor -- a singer on Pharrell's label -- who says she went to the game with Chris because they've been friends for a long time and he is "like a brother." Taylor said if people think Chris used her for a PR stunt it's "the craziest thing I've ever heard."

As for looking a lot like Rihanna, Taylor said, "I've always dressed like that. I've always had style ... I've had that Mohawk now for months."

Taylor told us she doesn't take sides when it comes to the alleged Chris Brown beatdown -- but she supports C.B. "no matter what."

61. It is absolutely ridiculous how people think because of this situation CB is supposed to stay locked up in the house. He has every right to go where ever he wants. Her comment could have been phrased differently. But, get over it people. Let the courts decide if he is innocent or guilty. We were not there. We don't know what happened. I am not excusing the violence. But there shouldn't ever be violence coming from a man or a woman. And before any of you try it, NO I am not from an abusive home. My mother and father have been happily married for 43 years. But I believe women should keep there hands to themselves as well.

64. Teyana been dressing like that, since she was on My Super Sweet Sixteen, that was like 2years ago when rihanna was a long brown haired big forehead nobody. No offense to Rihanna, i do think CB is a pu**y and should pay for what he did.

66. WOW!

Will there actually be at least one day without all the haters coming out to attack Chris or even Teyanna Taylor? Y'all say you don't know her or have never heard of her before yet you waste all you time and energy dissing the hell out of them. What is your problem?You people seriously have nothing better to do nor say. I think it's about time some of y'all read a book and quit focusing on this nonsense.So what if she decided or wanted to go to the game with one of her good friends?Why do you make that bother you?Chris is only human and y'all have no right to talk about him or her in that way at all.Teyanna even attended his birthday party last year so it is not a surprise to see her with him.

Here's a tip. If you have a problem with the dude don't come on here and talk about him. There are PLENTY of other things to talk about.It is truly pathetic that some of you would act this way towards someone who is just living their life. Chris hasn't harmed any of you or anyone in the past four months. Chris is STILL a free man,I repeat he is still a free man.He is not a convicted felon on the rampage and know one is capturing him just letting him live freely. He has gone through enough stress already and doesn't need all this judgmental-hypocritical crap from none of you[ because I am sure you wouldn't ditch your friends if they committed a crime].

Anyways,keep wasting your time attacking this young man but he hasn't harmed a soul since the beating. None of you even care about other victims who have been reported to be murdered,raped and beaten by their partners [millions] nor would you do anything to prevent it from happening. It's like I always say, people will never judge others like themselves only the famous ones. It's a shame it's like that because y'all don't give Chris Brown the same treatment as that Nazi who murdered a security guard at the Holocaust Museum. Now he is REAL trash.

SMH.

67. Of course she was used just like that fake beating thing to bolster a 'bad boy' image

68. SMH

Y'all are sad no joke.

You can't tell anyone not to hang with Chris, that is their choice and their business.If she wants to hang with him she can.It doesn't make her trash or an advocate of domestic abuse. It is just plain ignorant to think that.

69. Teyanna Taylor...I don't think she's talented (as far as her music goes), but she is really pretty. I love her hair and she has great style. I don't think she's a "Rihanna wannabe." Anyway, what's up with all the black and the sunglasses? That's really not a good look. They look like...gangbangers or something. NOT CUTE. Chris Brown...I think he'll always be known as the guy who beat up Rihanna, no matter what he does or what really happened. He's pretty much DOOMED.

70. One last thing to say,

When will people take the burden off of Chris and put it on that Nazi guy who devoted his WHOLE life to trying to taking out an entire race[s] of people and conspired against them along with other sick minded White Supremacists who have terrorized America for centuries?He took a child's father away and no one thinks that is worth complaining about?

?????????????

71. "Doesn't want to take sides but... supports Chris all the way" Sounds like she took a side. Heres to you, looking for your 15 minutes even if its pretending to be someone else.

74. Teyanna is a man!!!!!!!!

Posted at 12:10AM on Jun 16th 2009 by Duh

75. TMZ GET YOUR FACT STRAIGHT!

Though I'm not crazy about her, Teyana has been doing the skateboard/nerd look for years. She looks NOTHING LIKE RHIANNA. I hate when things have to come to this but it just looks like a group of ignorant people put this story up because they see another black female, know NOTHING about her, but feel the need to lump her with someone else just to sensationalize a story. If you really want a story, why not look into the alleged "sex tape" of Rhianna that's going to be released on the date of Chris Brown's trial! Obviously someone is looking to disparage him with that tape, even though the woman on it isn't even Rhianna! But oh no...doing the right thing...there's no story in that, huh?
