Chris Brown arrested and sentenced for domestic violence

[katherine]

Exactly. I hope they release his alcohol level because I'm curious to see if he was intoxicated or not. He did a lot of damage, I don't think she would go to the hospital if it was just bruises, you know? And I'm going to laugh when fans are in denial because it's like when the Christian Bale thing happened people were like "you guys, christian would never do that. it was obviously a fake recording. can't you tell?!" ... yeah. His career is dunzo for most people, he lost a lot of respect. They're not going to buy his music.

Can you provide the link please. Thanks.
The article that I read made it sound that Chris got into an altercation with the witness that called 911 and NOT Rihanna.

Rihanna’s rep says, “Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support.”

She's well?

if you look at r. kelly's comeback.. then i don't think chris brown's career is over..

yes well that delves into a much darker issue which is the rampant acceptance of female abuse (sexual or otherwise) within society. I agree there are PLENTY of successful artists who sing or rap about what they do to women. The only difference with Chris Brown is his audience is heavily young and pop influenced. I mean, he's not pretending to be T.I. or Lil Wayne or anything.

ZPosen - this is from one of the LA Times blog. It says the "...the victime (who by the way is NOT Rihanna)" http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thed...brown-has.html

Damage control. What else can they say?

Those people saying that they hope it's alcohol... I'm sorry but I don't care how intoxicated you are, as a man you should know not to hit a woman. Drunk or not.

i just read about the whole inccident. that is really horrible.
i feel very sorry for Rihanna!
to chris brown: from my experience you can NEVER say "oh, this is the type of guy who beats women" or "I never thought that he would do that; he looks so nice"... it doesn't take a rapper on steroids to beat a women and i think we all would be surprises how many women had to make a experience like that.

all i can say that i am very sorry (if it is Rihanna) for her (or some other woman). i can imagine, that they got into a fight (i heared that she is pretty jelous) and he just didn't want to talk or sth like that.

I think it is great that she had the guts to called the police, because not every woman does that.

Plus his whole career is just over from here if it's true.

don't necessarily agree his career is over. footballers beats their wives and they are forgiven. Heck look at R.Kelly and all of that. I am NOT saying it's okay or anything but unless you kill or beat dogs nothing will destroy your career in R&B or Rap it'll just add 'street cred'.

I hope Chris gets jail and sends a message that it is never okay to hit anyone.

I hope she kicked him in the nuts, really.

It's funny how men are allowed to make bigger mistakes than women and still maintain a successful career in this business.

I've seen that pic of Rihanna before so that isn't from last night.
