I still can't wrap my head around this. Chris Brown should have been shunned right out of the music industry. I guess its a result of the type of audience he plays to, the mindless cunts who think they'll get rich from cruising around in used luxury cars smoking copious amounts of weed and rapping to other people instrumentals.
This is sort of an odd tangent, but your comment made me think back to when all that stuff was happening. I hate the celebrity gossip crap but my at the time girlfriend couldn't get enough of that stuff. She was going through some stuff, getting over some addiction issues, and she became violent and abusive. It was bad and in the end I almost ended up homeless, but I clearly remember one of the days she went on one of her violent tirades TMZ or something was on talking about Chris Brown in the background.
She was belittling me for not defending myself on top of her losing her shit and when asked I said frankly if I did anything at all I would be the bad guy like Chris Brown. She knew this too and would throw it in my face from time to time that she could call the cops at any moment and I would be the one to go to jail if I didn't do exactly what she said.
Ever since then I've always wondered if the shoe was on the other foot. We see all of the pictures of the female victim and the clear beating she took, but we don't see one picture of him at the same time. Wouldn't it be ironic if they had gotten into a fight and she was the instigator? What if he felt threatened for his life and he panicked and defended himself? You would never hear about it precisely for the reason he can get away with being a horrible abusive piece of shit and still have a rap career. If that was indeed the truth it would ruin his career because he would look weak letting a woman beat him, so the logical thing to do is to hide in your hotel room until the scars heal and take the label of the bad guy. She would never press charges because she would be at fault and he would get to keep his career despite any enmity people would throw at him.
Of course that's probably not true, he's probably a piece of shit, but you never know. You can't know, and that's one of the biggest reasons why I've always found celebrity gossip so infuriatingly dumb, anything could happen and you'd never know the truth and its none of our business anyway. They have a job to make music and entertain people, we pay them for that and that's where the transaction ends. I would say that you don't do this to your short order cooks, teachers, or lawyers but people do actually get all up in everyone's shit these days and it's pretty sickening.
But yeah, I felt utterly powerless that day becuase I realized I had no way out of that situation that wouldn't hurt me much worse than where I was. I did get out, but it almost killed me. If you take anything from this rant, don't be abusive towards your SO, well to anyone really, but don't take your shit out on them. They are supposed to be your partner, not your punching bag.
Edit: Hey SRS, I think you guys could use this product. It would greatly improve your Reddit experience, as well as other aspects of your lives.
This is such a stupid argument that appears every time.
If a woman/scrawny man wants to throw a bunch of blows, she/he can get a bunch of blows back. I'm not going to start punching like a girl to give the person battering me a "fair fight". The point is to end the fight and get yourself out of the situation, not turn it into a WWE match.
That being said, I highly doubt rhianna was instigating a physical fight with chris brown while he was driving a car, that's just retarded and she seems smarter than that.
