"It's not raunchy--it's extreme" sounds like it should be on a porn DVD box in really bold, ugly font.

What a ridiculous quote. #chrisbrownmtv

I'm going to do something unusual and stick up a little for Chris Brown here. I'm not defending him against his actions. I think he should be prosecuted for beating Rihanna.

HOWEVER, he is human and he does make mistakes. The fact that he recognises that he has made a huge mistake - one that will probably not ever be forgiven or forgotten by Rihanna or the public - is the only thing he can do now. Do you just want to condemn him as 'a beater' forever, and leave it at that? He is not allowed to participate in society at all anymore? And he doesn't need to apologise to YOU, the only person he needs to forgive him is Rihanna (if she even wants to). We can all condemn the action, but none of us have the right to condemn an individual that we have nothing to do with. #chrisbrownmtv

@JerkoftheMonth: Beating someone is not a "mistake". I would say it's a bit more severe than that. #chrisbrownmtv

@Armed with Vitriol: Okay, well that's a matter of semantics. My point is that everyone here is all on their judgy high horses, and that is what actually started to piss me off. I don't like Brown and he did commit a heinous crime. But wouldn't it do more good to try to understand the motivations behind beating? A discussion about how/why men are conditioned to think that it might be okay to hit women would be much more constructive than 'Oh he's such an asshole he should go to jail forever and ever and he's such a douchey jerk.' #chrisbrownmtv

@JerkoftheMonth: His actions were, whether he meant them to be or not, public. And his rationalization and excuse-making immediately after helped some people rationalize and make excuses for their own behavior and the behavior of those around them. He helped contribute to the minimization of this type of violence, so it really isn't just between him and Rihanna, unfortunately.

I would have more sympathy for him if it actually seemed like he was trying to look into his own heart and figure out why this happened and how he can avoid it in the future. Instead, he's just doing the old "oh, it was just that one time, I don't know what happened" thing, with a side of "why are people so mean to me?" He doesn't really seem to get it.
I don't have a problem with their being negative consequences for his image because of that. I don't think anyone is saying he "can't participate in society" anymore. Some people don't want to buy his music anymore, but no one's suggesting he be barred from employment of any kind forever. #chrisbrownmtv

details between what happened between him and rihanna should remain private? so basically the police shouldnt have been called? his 8/9th time beating the crap out of her shouldnt have been reported?

f off chris brown. i'm one of the people who think you belong in jail. i'm also one of the people who don't want to see you do anything. im sich of looking at your smug face and listening to your nonsense. #chrisbrownmtv

Ian McKellen is my favorite. He has such a great sense of humor about himself. Did anyone see the episode of Extras where he played himself guest teaching a drama class? "How do I act so well? The thing I do is, I pretend to be the person I am playing in the film or play." #chrisbrown

Oh, so being sexualized as a kid is bad, right, Natalie? Unless Roman Polanski's doing it, right?

I'm tired of Chris Brown and his half-assed "apologies" and refusal to take responsibility for what he's done. Just say it, Chris: you beat a woman you claimed to love to the point where she required hospitalization. Not for the first time, either. And you'd probably still be beating her if you hadn't gotten caught. That does not make you "human" or a person with 50/5o support or someone where I care whether your feelings are hurt or not. It makes you an abusive asshole who needs to get a lot of help to deal with his many issues. #chrisbrown

@Hooplehead: I completely agree with you. He seems immature and completely unapologetic for what he has done. He wants the abuse to remain a "private matter"? I'm sure. All abusers want to make sure they get away with abuse and come out looking good in the end. What a dick. #chrisbrown

@Hooplehead: Yes on the Natalie part. Given that she would have been sexualized at 13 for playing a precocious world-weary child who talks like a mature woman, I would have thought she'd have more empathy for Polanski's then-teenage victim. #chrisbrown

If I was going to enter into a life of crime in order to get a new wardrobe, I would definitely not be burgling Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan. That criminal ringleader needs to have additional charges filed against her by the fashion police. #chrisbrown

In reply to Rihanna's Interview, Part Two: "[Chris] Had No Soul In His Eyes"
From the National Coalition of Men: "Pop singer Rihanna recently made a widely publicized statement to Glamour Magazine that she wants to "shed light on the reality of domestic violence." The National Coalition For Men (NCFM) calls on Rihanna to discuss her own reported violence against Brown as well if she wants to shed light on the problem honestly.

According to court records and other sources, Rihanna struck Brown in the face "numerous times" before Brown assaulted her. NCFM purports although that would not justify his more severe assault, her violence should not be ignored, and if she does not "woman up" to it then her message will be the usual one-sided double standards that leave female perpetration covered up.

The saying, "There is no excuse for domestic violence," applies to both sexes. Female violence in relationships is not rare but is often hypocritically deemed acceptable or humorous, such as in the film, Sideways. It is part of the cycle of domestic violence, which cannot be stopped without addressing the problem honestly. Children are damaged just by witnessing domestic violence, regardless of its severity. A 32-nation study by the University of New Hampshire found women are as violent and as controlling as men in relationships worldwide #rihannainterview
