Chris Brown Not Doing Himself Any Favors
Ah yes, the man that just puts a bad taste in your mouth. Here is Chris Brown exiting Kitchen 24 at 4 AM the other night after reportedly dining with six women. What is more surprising here? That he still looks like a jerk despite his pleas of change, or that there are six women on the planet that would still have dinner with him? And putting food and Chris Brown in the same conversation just doesn’t do me any favors, and I don’t think I am alone here. Anytime there is any conversation about a man hitting a woman, my stomach turns. And Chris Brown creates a reaction in my stomach akin to the Dallas Cowgirls halftime show. But here he is ever the ladies man, but yet he has to know what kind of reaction he puts on the rest of us. Of course he does which is why he STILL can’t get any fame on his own, and still insists on using Rihanna to self promote. Recently, during the wee hours of the morning, singer Chris Brown took to Twitter and posted a YouTube link to a photo montage of himself and Rihanna during happier times.
“I’m sorry y’all. Just had to post it,” was the accompanying text on the tweet, and the post immediately following said, “For the fellas: showing emotion doesn’t make u weak … being honest makes you strong.”
This from the man that beat a woman and practically left her for dead, and thought he was being quite the big strong man at the time. Yeah, I just gotta hunch that aspiring to Chris Brown’s message for being strong just isn’t something I’d recommend putting on the to do list for anyone. But from a legal standpoint? Sending tweets about Rihanna and what happened between them on Feb. 8 doesn’t break any laws (Brown’s stay-away order is still in place; his attorney Mark Geragos didn’t respond to requests for comment on Brown’s Twitter feed). But there’s Awomen for recreation. And all the while he is saying he isn’t using her for promotion, we get his very own follow up with messages about his “I Can Transform Ya” video premiere on MTV planned for Tuesday, and news of his official album date. That tweet specifically included the directive, “Now blog about this … LOL.” So Chris: here’s some blogging about it. Now, how about promoting your work without Rihanna’s help? Or how about not hitting women? Or how about not asking us to make you a hero because you were honest about hitting a woman? How about blogging about that?
