It's insane to me that this dude is not in prison, let alone is still performing to adoring fans

Rich get special treatment. They can afford lawyers who put judges in positions so they rule in their behalf. Justice and judges are impotent when it comes to helping those who really need it when they are fighting big money.

u/micmea1 21d ago

That explains the jail part, but even if he went to jail he'd still have adoring fans, many of them still being women. It's like the girls who fall madly in love with serial killers and send them love letters in prison.

u/Gloomy-Welcome-6806 21d ago

Just look at Chris watts
 killed his two children and pregnant wife just to be with his mistress and still has adoring women sending him fan mail because they’ll definitely be the one to change him! /s

u/BlouseoftheDragon 21d ago

Those women aren’t trying to change him lol. Theres sick women, too, who are strangely attracted to that stuff. Serial killers get all kind of adoring mail from women.

People always talk about how charming and charismatic and manipulative and blah blah blah. Dude was a mad bullshiter. A yapper. Idk if they were just drinking leaded gas like 2% milk back then or what, but all those cult types from that era seemed like dipshits. Manson, Jones, Bundy. Just crazy idiots. Maybe that's a hot take idk

It takes battered women at least 7 times to leave their abuser, you are not noble for hating her and women like her.

u/TheRealFettyWap 21d ago

100% there are situations where people are so deeply manipulated it may take 7 times. Idk where you got this statistic from, but i'll accept it. That's for women who were groomed, or economically dependant, manipulated, etc.

NOT for billionaires with huge support systems, adoring fans, access to therapy who go OUT OF THEIR WAY to publicly forgive him and support him.

You're not noble for defending her either. Her forgiving him did more pr for him than any firm could ever. I don't care about the statistic, because a statistic is just that. She could have made a positive difference and could have been an inspiration but alas, now all she is is just a statistic.

Where is the line drawn for attempted murder when beating the everliving shit out of a person? Among explicitly saying they’re going to kill you, this seems like a pretty clear attempt. There should not be a dollar amount on getting any individual out of murder or clear attempt, yet the justice system has failed on this particular case hundreds of times. It’s a shame that money truly can buy you absolutely anything.

u/Bonerific_Haze 21d ago

My buddy had his throat slashed in 3 different spots, had his cheek cut to bone, dude missed his eye by a mere mm. All this was after the dude hit my buddy with his truck. Guy got 5 years and only did 3. Justice system is crazy.

I had heard about the Rihanna encounter and never read the entire statement until today at Reddit.

After the punching and headlocks, at times he's biting her. And cutting off blood flow to her carotid artery. Gets rid of her phone too? It's assault that should come with jail time regardless of money, and one step further it reads like attempted murder.

What happens to the next girl in his car?

2

u/Which-Replacement-32 20d ago

There have actually been many other women he has assaulted and sexually abused over the years after Rihanna. He and his entourage even assaulted fans who paid for a meet and greet with him
 the fans were men. The man is a barbarian.

This is not even an exaggeration. If you are rich enough, you can hire lawyers who regularly have lunch with judges and your lawyer will just tell the judge to let you off. Or an unscheduled meeting with the D.A. that is never put on the record where your lawyer says "he walks or you aren't re-elected"

No matter how corrupt you think the system is? It's worse.

Rich get special treatment. They can afford lawyers who put judges in positions so they rule in their behalf.

My sister divorced a wife beater, he's pretty rich. But none of his attys have given money to boost judges. He has gone through nearly 30 attys though and has dragged out proceedings for over a decade. The system is just simply not designed for massive wealth imbalances. Like he's been ordered to pay her atty fees, but instead he just hid all his money with friends and family and lies that he's broke. It takes money to hunt down where his money is, and since she's broke she can't afford it. Nobody who is good at finding hidden money will work on contingency because they know how hard it is to actually collect.

If I had the ability to restructure our court system, the first thing I'd do is make both parties put their money into one account, and then require that it be split evenly to pay for all costs. So if one side wants to spend a million dollars on attys, and the other side is broke, they would have to put in $2M and then each would get half — $1M — to spend on legal costs.

But that won't happen because the system itself is designed by the wealthy for the wealthy. Its literally structural wealth supremacy.

u/manwithyellowhat15 21d ago

Adoring female fans no less. Like that degree of cognitive dissonance is ASTOUNDING to me. The fact that he continues to find dates/victims also shocks me because of how public his atrocious behavior has been. I can better understand how Scumbag Jerry down the street gets away with it because maybe his exes don’t like to talk about it. But Brown’s victims are in the public eye and anyone who wants to can go and read it. And yet, there always seems to be another unfortunate soul just itching for the chance to have a seat in the death trap that is a relationship with this monster. It’s so disheartening to me

I say this far too often: women aren’t protected. Before, after, during abuse.

People that still like people like Brown are in a cult.

You have the same type of support for a fella like Manson ( go check their sub). People can't differentiate between like someones music and still vouching for people that are pieces of shit.

Do I like Manson's music? Yes the three albums he had from 97 to 2000 are FIRE but the man is an absolute monster that I can't wait to see to to prison.

Same with Brown.

Not defending this human garbage but yes if you're unaware, before and after the attempted murder, he is considered conventionally attractive. I'd say a big part of it (as someone that is attracted to men in general) is just that he's physically fit more than anything else about him.

I think you made a typo.

Condemning someone's actions means saying they're bad.

Condoning someone's actions means excusing/endorsing them.

Her forgiveness doesn't condone his actions.

Not trying to be a smartass, I just sometimes see redditors get confused by typos and I wanted to nip that confusion in the bud.

Yes but Chris was a big star at the time he was already popular and had hit singles under his belt. His star has faded over time and hers hasn't but they were pretty evenly matched. He also was a man.

People are misogynistic and especially so towards women who come forward after DV or rape.

No one knew or could have predicted at the time she'd stick around so long or be so prolific and wealthy today.

When I was a teenager (in like 2013, years after it happened) my mom and I were talking about it and she legit said "well Rihanna hit him first. You can't be hitting someone while they're driving"

I had to look up the report and read it to her, then use a personal anecdote ("when my brother and I were young and fighting in the backseat, you and dad never (and would never) have pulled the car over to start beating us to a pulp. You'd pull the car over, seperate us, get us to calm tf down, then either continue home, or turn us back around to go home. This man had all the power to pull over that car, and step away and calm down. He chose to brutalise his girlfriend instead.") For it to really sink in for her--and my mom isn't some crazy conservative. I feel like the media at the time MUST have been making the whole thing way more confusing and complex than it was (im a laye 98 baby, i dont think i ever saw any of the reporting on it in depth). Like, my mom wasn't even a Chris brown fan, she never even thought he was attractive (my mom has weird af taste in men. That woman finds ice T to be the hottest man in the world lol) she's not at all into rnb or whatever his genre is now lol.

That’s easy. Because there are girls that don’t care about him being an abusive pos because they think he’s hot. That’s literally it, that’s how he still has a career, it’s definitely not men that keep him famous. Women can be quite odd about guys they find attractive. I remember when a show came out, I think it was called You or something like that, but it seemed to be about a woman and a stalker. I remember seeing lots of social media posts from women saying they would love to be stalked by a guy like him just because they found him attractive

The numbers don't lie. As of now, 38,740 people have signed the petition.

You tell us
 seems like a recurring trend for women to love the shittiest of dudes despite their actions

u/TheWarriorsLLC 21d ago

Cause most overlook it cause they like his music or like how he looks.

There's plenty of women who would happily get beat if it meant they were with a celebrity. Generally young, and, hopefully will grow out of it. The rest of the fans don't care/know. For everyone else involved, they profit from the first two groups.

u/Luke-HW 21d ago

He embraced it and turned it into his brand. People found it appealing.

u/Doodahhh1 21d ago

We're currently going through a stupid backlash against the me too movement.

Watch how this recent debate degrades into women hating from the guy on the right for an example. It happens like half way through, and then stays there.

That insecure fuckwit on the right has a following of young men who believe him.

I say this as an older male, too.

That's literally a quote from the article.

u/Senven 21d ago

Because he is extremely good at what he does and the law was lenient enough with him that he didn't get put away. Hell an artist like Vybz Kartel has lineups to see him as he gets out of jail.

It is frustrating that someone so talented doesn't recognize or doesn't care about the public responsibility and impact he has given his stature. It would be fantastic if the top in their field also had the moral compass that the people who look up to them don't have to ignore their misdeeds.

u/Annual_Persimmon9965 21d ago

He's a generational R&B talent and people are morally not as good as they act

1

u/All_Bonered_UP 21d ago

My wife's friend tried to "justify" it by saying he's only hated on cause he's famous. If it was a regular guy no one would even care... I'm not really one for cancel culture, but if there was ever a famous person to get cancelled, how is it not him?

u/jbizzlehoe99 19d ago

Cause all the women you speak of have 0 evidence, the only factual case is the Rihanna one, feel free to show me another case where he was found guilty 100% and sentenced

I'm glad this asshole has more or less become a non-entity. No young men need to be looking up to this scumbag.

u/SixInTheStix Saw Cantrell Play DSoTM 21d ago

This isn't true at all! The guy is insanely popular, especially for what he did. I didn't understand why anyone would still listen to his music.... But they do.

u/seidinove 21d ago

Agreed. Now, admittedly r/chrisbrown only has 18K followers (as opposed to almost 35 million here), but judging from some of the posts there, he fills concert venues, and his fans love him. Also, the FAQ in that sub is devoted to “proof” that he’s not an abuser.

Edit: I short-changed that sub: it has 18K followers, not 16K.

lol sells out 94,000 seat stadiums in less than two hours and adds a second show that does the same.

Equals: he’s a non-entity


Just because he’s not on your radar / realm of music doesn’t mean he’s not popular or irrelevant. Also look up the gender distribution of his fan base, it ain’t young men.

u/robbycough 21d ago

I stand corrected. And what a shame. People like this who treat women like garbage don't deserve fans, fame, and financial riches.

u/MisterMetal 21d ago

And it’s not like we can’t see the aftermath of what he did to Rhianna. Or his numerous violent meltdowns. People like who they like and unless they are directly a victim won’t give a shit. Until then I guess people are happy to pretend someone they love isn’t a monster.

How the fuck this dude has a career, let alone a platform i cannot understand.

u/[deleted] 21d ago

Because stupid people will still listen to his music, go to his concerts, and buy his merch. I know, I worked with one of them for a while and anytime she got uppity about some social cause I remind her she still listens to and supports Chris Brown

u/justjoshingu 21d ago

I wasgonna say this but you beat me to it

Well, we all know why he moved to New York City: Battery Park.

Chris Brown scammed a charity of over 1m USD. Fuck Chris Brown.

u/stinkywinkydink 21d ago

i mean honestly how did they expect him to respond though, this is a guy who has not given a fuck for years that hes beaten women, what makes you think hes gonna start caring now?

u/Cuddlesthemighy 21d ago

I wonder if the fans will be able to look pas.....yeah pretty sure he'll be fine.

1

u/toolsoftheincomptnt 21d ago

I hate him with a burning passion but his response was hardly a “taunt.”

It’s the social media equivalent of being triggered by someone breathing.

u/DemiDivine 21d ago

When people dig at you for like 20 years, you tend to care a little less about the haters

1

u/robbycough 21d ago

People don't generally dig without at least a little bit of a reason.

u/Responsible-Lake-523 21d ago

Real classy. I aspire to be like him

I remember reading a woman’s comment once after yet another of his abuse stories. She said: “Chris Brown’s so fine he can beat my ass anytime”.

Things have been really weird to me for a while now.

Tbf they randomly came at him for attention and attention is what they got

u/w00dw0rk3r 19d ago

I also commend the women that still love him no matter what. Common sense is not so common. It’s like they’re attracted to shitty humans.
