Time will tell. I sort of noticed how you gave excuses for the names I mentioned such as " ohhhhh they were wrecks already, so this was no big deal" whereas you gave Chris Brown no free pass.
Whats so different between them and him?
Do you think he will be well received as these other celebrities who have done the same mistakes as himself a couple of years down the road?
I mean Jack Nicholson and Sean Penn are among the top A-listers now...who would have known?
And another thing...how do YOU know they didn't beat their wives to a bloody pulp? Sometimes, What you don't see is worst than what you do see.
There is no lesser degree of domestic violence. Its all DOMESTIC VIOLENCE @ the end of the day. And everyone should get equal punishment. But thats not the world we live in and I'm just highlighting that.
No im not saying I'm giving Jack or any of them any passes for their crimes. And I certainly didnt say I felt what they did was no big deal. You took it that way because I try to give reason to your observations on past reactions to Sean, Jack and the rest you named, as I recall different.
First off, Jack was accused of rage attacks. He pretty much tore up a place.
So he was known for blowing fuses. I couldn't find anywhere that he was ever actually charged with domestic violence. But if whether or not he did commit them behind closed doors, is irrelevant here because the question is not if he did committed the crime, but why hasn't he been black listed like ol' Chrissy here.
And I'm just letting you know that time and generations are a factor as to why Chris is getting the heat today vs how Jack and the ones you named, got heat back then in the late 80s.... there was no internet for casual people. That's what I'm trying to say here.
If you're trying to rope in another thing here, (perhaps racism??) then just do it. If not, then know what i'm saying is that time and generations is the key factor. Me saying that Jack was always and a$$, is actually me saying that when someone sees the devil coming, they're not expecting him to do nice. So when something bad finally does happen, its like no surprise, where what Christopher here did, really was.
Sure as heck surprised me. Especially after seeing all those cool MJ tributes he did. I was like wtf?!
Sure enough domestic violence is wrong. You dont have to sing that to me. My mom was a victim of domestic violence when i was a kid and i got to see it first hand at the very least 3 times a week (being real here). And all I wanted to do was to kill the man.
But, again, I'm only stating something here and of course, though its my opinion, I strongly believe the "Reason" why Chris is getting it hard now, is because hes more popular then "a" list actors you listed and we are living in a time where
anyone can say what they feel and be heard through the internet. And yes, that is a huge factor as fan votes DO make a difference in my opinion. Many actors actually also believe that fan opinion has enough power to make changes.
Disneyland brought back Captain EO. No one thought it would happen. But it did by popular demand. And by popular demand, that could mean big money.
And that big money, will come from fans. Fans who wanted to see it.
If Chris Brown got air time on the radio months after what he did.... do you think people would jump up and buy his stuff? He's begging fans to support him again. What does that say? Fans are no longer supporting him. So why should the radio waves bother.
Maybe later. You know... a year or two. Maybe. He's going to have to get people to love him again. And that means more than just community service.
That's all I'm saying. I'm not taking sides with Jack, Sean, Charlie and especially Christian Bale.
Its just my observation. Next time I wont share it. Not looking to get into a debate. :better:
