Chris Brown Loses Temper on Good Morning America

I'm not a fan of Chris Brown in any way, shape or form, but I sympathise with him here. Obviously what he did to Rihanna was horrible, despicable, etc but he was there to promote his new album. I only sympathise because the media did this with Michael too. They just won't let things go. If he has a lasting career, what he did in 2009 will forever be brought up. I guess he just has to learn how to handle his emotions and not get upset or violent.

I agree.
 
yeah he has a temper,but also he is well aware of hype for his new album, and he has people talking.

street cred goes to a whole new level.
 
This is nothing like MJ's situation. I don't need to tell you that MJ was hounded simply for being different. He hadn't broke any laws or hurt anyone at all. There is a big difference here.
 
I'm sorry but Chris is a celebrity and if he really thought he would never be asked questions about his actions then he is a bigger fool than I thought. Bashir's dumbass brought up the false 93 allegations to Michael during his interview and that was what 10 years later...did we see Michael act like that? NO! Michael is a professional who was never even guilty of any crime unlike Chris and would never publically act a fool like Chris continues to do. Chris did an unspeakable thing and he SHOULD be reminded of that until he GETS IT and he's actually remorseful which I feel he has yet to be. Ok sorry for my rant, I'm done venting lol!

I obviously know it's a different situation. I'm just saying how the media will repeatedly bring past events up just to antagonise someone.
 
How cynical am I? I was expecting to come on here and read a load of abuse thrown at Chris Brown, but it was nice to see that people have not judged willy nilly and see that they were playing for a reaction. I'm not a fan of his, but I'm less a fan of the way the media behave and manipulate people.

Refreshing, huh? That's what I love about MJ's fans (for the most part). We get what it's like. We understand what the media is really about. We're not as easily manipulated.
 
Some of you have a lot to learn about rape culture, and maybe you should think about why you're so willing to excuse Chris Brown's crimes and place blame on the victim, Rihanna here. All I will say is that as far as I can see, MJ's 'situation' and the assault of Rihanna by Chris Brown are completely unrelated and you should not let your love of MJ/your feelings on the trial coverage cloud your judgement when it comes to other men who are 'persecuted' by the media. They are not one and the same and should not be compared. NO ONE asks to be abused or assaulted, and NO BLAME should ever be placed with Rihanna. Chris Brown and Chris Brown only is responsible for his own actions on that night and also at GMA. He is a grown man and as such should be held accountable, and as an entertainer he has placed himself in the public eye willingly and will come under scrutiny from the general public, that is part and parcel of being a celebrity. The reason why people are 'oh so hard' on Chris Brown is NOT because it's some ~media conspiracy~ (as we now know those GMA questions were pre-approved) but because he has shown absolutely no remorse for his crimes, and he has repeatedly referred to what he did as 'the horrible thing that happened to me' or 'a mishap' as if he dropped a bottle of milk instead of beating his girlfriend half to death, verbally threatening death on her and throwing her out on a sidewalk alone.
He's acted like a spoiled entitled brat, whined that people won't accept what he did and 'move on', and made no real attempt whatsoever to redeem himself. People can't and won't move on until he himself can admit what he did. GMA are actually rewarding his behaviour by inviting him back on their show instead of pressing charges against him for the criminal damage and vandalism he inflicted on their studio. He is NOT having it tough at all, and that is the problem. A short community service stint is clearly not enough when you fall straight back into the same pattern and surround yourself with yes-men who won't step up when you are in too deep.

No matter your thoughts on the media, this is just a case of a deeply unapologetic misogynist being actually called out on his actions for once. I only wish they would ask Charlie Sheen about his well-documented history of domestic and animal abuse instead of trying to worm wacky soundbites out of him.

as you can see right after GMA... he really respects women and has learned from his past. :smilerolleyes:

Chris Brown is clearly a deeply troubled person, if you compare him a few years ago (saying in interviews he never wanted to be abusive like his father was toward his mother) to after the incident, he is on a downward spiral and needs help. But in order to be a better person he needs to first admit to what he has been responsible for instead of skirting around the subject or acting like a victim himself, and make an actual effort to show he has changed and grown. As for the borderline psychotic Team Breezy on twitter, mostly girls sadly, they only excuse him because they perceive him to be more 'talented' than the average person and therefore his crimes to them are unimportant and easily excusable. These girls need better male role models in their lives to be quite frank, and the best I could hope for is that any woman with a shred of self-respect and self-awareness would donate money they would spend on his CD to a woman's shelter instead. If we keep rewarding his behaviour he's on a one-way ticket to prison at this rate. People are hard on him because they want to see him succeed, but he seems determined to ignore these valid criticisms. If you are one of those willing to excuse Chris Brown's past and recent behaviour because of your contempt for the media, you are just another part of the problem.




 
^^^ Agree with you. Brown is obviously a very disturbed individual who need medical help. What shockes me the most though is that there are people who actually support him, a man who almost beat to death a human being.I think they need to get some of the "love" that Chris showed to Rihanna. *Shake my head*
 
Yes, the guy obviously needs help. But, certainly, a mostly hostile environment and hatred are not going to help. Not all people can react well to such reactions, and some actually do have a human bone in them to feel sorry for such individuals who are being vilified and are destroying themselves as a result. Not everybody is a strong one, in fact, most are not. Showbusiness is one sick industry, as well, that's very much contributing to ruining people.

Nobody has got the right to hit a a child or woman. True. But also seeing Rhianna in a sudden positive light because of her past misfortune, (this, by the way, increasing her record sales, an attitude which she has taken advantage of a lot) is more than biased. It's irrational, and everyone who don't know or don't care to know about her and what god she is serving should pretty much get informed... This is absolutely not a vindictive statement, nor a crazy one, since pers. I very much dislike Chris Brown's music and voice and his dancing is also hard and exaggerated, while Rhianna is beautiful and could actually have a good voice, and I like her in a way, so I am not taking sides, just treating this issue objectively. But Rhianna's decisions in life are certainly not to be excused either. Her adopting porn-like approaches and appearing virtually naked on stage sure got her places. There's a recent Rolling Stone interview of her saying how she loves getting spanked and whipped and chained, and how when she's horny, she loves taking naughty pictures. She also believes people are afraid to reveal themselves naked, for instance, because she hasn't gotten a d**** picture in a long time. ... Her own words, nothing sensationalized. Sure, Chris Brown is not an example of anger temperation, and not a role model, just like Rhianna is not a role model, in fact a very negative influence on kids and teens or young adults.

The media is the lastest of the mediums out there to defend or agree on to even an extent, and this, again, is not being stated out personal feelings of contempt for this medium, it is too purely and irremediably opportunistic and manipulative and derisionally chaotic to agree with. Rhianna loves and is loved by the media and loves the attention she's getting. The media also love public lynching and lifting folks up then throw them to the garbage. But it's anyone's call how they feel about all this, eventually. And sadly.

Us a part of the problem? Oh contraire, my friend! Rape culture? Really? Really? That is ridiculous and you're totally off base. I'm not saying that what you say has no truth in any given circumstance, just not this one. Your logic doesn't apply to what is happening here. No one, NO ONE, had ever denied that Chris Brown needs help. Where do you get that? Where do you see anyone blaming Rihanna or saying she deserved it? We all admit Chris needs help and that's what we want for him. We're only acknowledging that in order to get that help and to improve and move on with his life, the media has to stop beating a dead horse. It's not okay to provoke. Do you honestly think Rihanna is still suffering? Please! Rihanna threw that theory out the window once she used violence to boost her career and sell a record. Rihanna kept her trap shut for nine months until the very release week of "Rated R" and suddenly was an open book and hitting all the media rounds talking about the incident. A lot of people lost respect for her after that (myself included). I am not condoning violence of any kind, nor is anyone else, but making everything so black and white as you and others do in cases like this is also wrong. Chris Brown is a human being and like anyone who makes mistakes, big or small, he deserves the opportunity to better himself. Must he live the rest of his life as a monster? He may stumble along the path of recovery, but that is to be expected and it doesn't help to wave a red flag in front of a bull. How is he supposed to do move on when you and the media want to demonize him? How is that fair? And again, not once has anyone condoned Chris Brown's behavior. We are not "part of the problem". I am not "part of the problem". The problem is people and media condemning others for the rest of their lives no matter what they do. So no, we are not "part of the problem". I for one am part of the solution. What is that solution?... It's called "mind your own damn business and stop judging people and matters in which you know not of". It's too easy to do and yet people insist on continuing to do so. It's not our place. Why is that so hard to understand? MJ taught us to open our hearts and minds, and to not take everything at face value. Look deeper. Feel more. That's exactly what we are doing and should be doing.

Totally agree. 100%. I don't see anyone here who is blaming Rihanna.
Chris Brown needs help, he obviously has some issues, that doesn't mean that what the media is doing to him is okay.
 
I fail to see how parading him as some sort of circus exhibit on Good Morning America or any other media outlet is productive. He is an individual who is obviously deeply troubled, and his citing witnessing domestic abuse during his childhood is not something one should write off as an excuse either--it doesn't justify what he did, but it helps us understand the psychology behind the individual for certain. He isn't our specimen to scrutinize on national television, where he's being interviewed by people who probably have as many issues as he does, or are not professionally trained to deal with either domestic abuse or mental/emotional disturbances. Therefore, the only people who should be talking to Brown about the Rihanna incident are the police department and mental health workers. The media has no place in this matter, and it is clear they were looking to get a rise out of him.

I daresay you've got a lot to learn about reading comprehension, because not once has anyone in here said that Rihanna should be held responsible for what happened, etc. Therefore, that part of your argument is completely extraneous and invalid.
 
No one has directly said that Rihanna is responsible, but it has been implied.

I'll get real with you, Rihanna did NOT deserve the beating she got, no one does (man or woman) BUT she does have a role to play. She's not the innocent bystander she's made out to be. It often takes two to tango. I know that won't be a popular sentiment, but as I've said before, it's too easy to judge situations we know nothing about. I was not in that limo. I have no idea what was said or done between the two of them. No, violence is never the answer, but I'm not foolish enough to think that I'm perfect and could completely resist decking someone if they were coming at me nonstop... scratching... biting... etc (man or woman). I would like to think that I could keep cool and never result to hitting someone, let alone a woman, but again... I don't know. I've never been in that situation. I doubt Chris Brown ever thought he would hit a woman. We all play a part. Call me what you want, I'm just being real. And don't twist it, I am NOT saying that violence against women is acceptable. I don't think violence against anyone is acceptable, not just women. So to all those people out there so quick to judge, this world is not black and white, and to think that all fault solely lies on Chris Browns shoulders is a bunch of ish. Dude has issues and needs to get his temper in check, but as far as I know he's been working towards that and people need to back off. Let him be. No one is perfect. We have all done terrible things at one time or another. Lord knows I have my fair share of shame and regret. Just gotta live and learn. All I know is thank God above I don't have cameras and "journalists" trying to out me at every turn for my past grievances. I'm not asking anyone to feel sorry for Chris Brown, but to demonize him for the rest of his life is flat wrong. Sorry, but it is. Let him be. I am also not trying to make Chris Brown a victim and Rihanna the villain... I'm only trying to remain neutral in matters that I admittedly know nothing about. I'm not foolish or arrogant enough to do so. I refuse to let the media dictate my life. I come to my own conclusions based on my own life experiences. I think with my head and heart. I try to put myself in the other persons shoes. That makes a world of difference. It's too easy to hate. Way too easy. Try to lend some love and understanding. Compassion goes a long way. My message will probably go over like a rock across water, but it is what it is.

I agree that Chris Brown needs help, and fast. He clearly has anger problems in the least and what he did sickens me. What disturbs me even more is that there are people actively cheering him on and attacking people who question that. I don't know, there's just something really iffy with that in my opinion. Why should I respect him because he claims it's behind him? You know? And what happened last week just affirmed my opinion.

I hope he gets the help he needs.

Thing is though, he didn't just hit her, he beat her multiple times. I'd like to think that's something absolutely anybody can control.
 
I'm not sure if anybody mentioned this, maybe someone did but still.

Looks like the producers of the show didn't press charges against Chris Brown. Which makes me think it was a set up. They knew Chris Brown has anger management issues and they kept pushing his buttons knowing he might react the way he did. And of course they got what they wanted, which is another reason to bash him, so they didn't press charges against him.

Even though I'm not a big fan of Mr. Brown I do have to admit that some people really need to leave him alone. Trying to make a name of yourself by pissing off Chris Brown, out of all the relevant people out there ffs, seems a bit pathetic to me.

Sure, he might not be the nicest person ever but still, people need to move on just like both Chris Brown and Rihanna did. Ok, that wasn't very nice, Chris Brown can suck it for what he did but still, MOVE ON media!

Had to quote you again, you're making too much sense. Meant to post something similar, but you beat me to it (no pun intended). Thank you. ..

It really doesn't matter how many times, once is enough, but it's still not right to hold something against someone the rest of their lives and always have the past thrown in their face. And no, he can't control it because he has a problem. If it were something he could control we wouldn't be having this discussion. I wish people could understand that we are not our mistakes, but rather the lessons we learn from those missteps in our lives. It's not right to brand someone with a scarlet letter. Chris Brown didn't kill anyone. Could he have? Yes, but he didn't. I don't deal in what ifs. I deal in what is. And what is, is a guy, being picked and prodded at to get a specific reaction. CBS got exactly what they wanted and so did the media in general. I don't even like Chris Brown or his music but at the same time I don't have anything against him and wish him well. I guess as an MJ fan I have grown more sensitive and try to be more understanding in situations that people are often quick to judge in.
 
If you had a female coming at you like a wild badger, I'd be inclined to think a man should be able to restrain her or slap some sense into her, especially as she's so petite. But that would have to be one demented badger.

Her injuries seemed to be consistent with a pretty good beating. So, no, I see where you're coming from, but that doesn't wash with me.

I've met some completely hateful twisted bitches in my time that would test anyone, but you just don't do things like that.

You also shouldn't judge and make assumptions about situations you are not in. Especially when it condemns someone for the rest of their life.

I guess you're right.

Let's wish Murray the best.
Click to expand...

Really? You're gonna go there and compare Chris Brown to Murray? I think that perfectly illustrates your mentality when it comes to this unfortunate circumstance. It really says a lot. Last time I checked Chris Brown/Rihanna have ZERO correlation with Murray/MJ. Is Chris Brown a licensed doctor who should know better? Did Chris prescrib Rihanna drugs and administer them in an unsafe and illegal environment? Oh, that's right, he didn't. Nice try though.
 
Quite a sensitive place to go, I know, but I think it illustrates the double standard, especially with your self-admitted issues with Rihanna.

Fact is, they both harmed someone, but Murray's situation was far more extreme because he was supposed to look after MJ rather than take his life. It's exactly the same principle though. In fact, one could argue (which I don't by the way), that Murray was just incompetent with no malice - a stark contrast to punching someone repeatedly.

You can get angry about that all you like, and question my mentality and hurl whatever insults you deem fit, if it makes you feel better. I've had worse.

I didn't hurl insults or mean to question your mentality (only in the sense that you are willing to go as far as possible to vilify Brown). I simply pointed out the fact that the two cases are nothing alike. Simple as that.

Fortunately, I don't care enough about Chris Brown to defend him nor vilify him. What does irritate me though is when I see people overlook/downplay disgusting human acts by either:

1) Blaming the victim (or at least trying to 'balance the blame'), because the victim's behaviour after the event has not been ideal

or

2) Playing the virtuous non-judging card, whilst not applying that same standard in another situation.

You say there's no correlation. Hmmm, two people placed in a position of trust end up severely/fatally hurting their patient/partner?

What if CB had hit her in the temple and accidentally killed her? You say you don't deal in 'what ifs'. What if a man tries to rape a woman and she gets away? No harm done, forgive and forget, I guess?
