Chris Brown's Apology: What Do Celebs Think?

0216king.jpg

Everyone is talking about what went down between Chris Brown and Rihanna. The couple's alleged fight was one of the most talked about topics at the NBA All-Star Game in Phoenix this weekend.

Oprah Winfrey's BFF Gayle King tells "Extra" she rejects Brown's apology. "Right now I can't think of anything that makes me support anything that Chris Brown is saying at this time. And my heart just aches for Rihanna."

Actress Gabrielle Union says she's trying to stay unbiased. "I know them both. Unfortunately, no one knows all the facts yet... what I think is great about this unfortunate situation is it can get us talking about violence... violence is never the answer. It's good to get that dialogue started. I wish this wasn't the catalyst for that... it's never good to use violence as a means to an end."

Akon teamed up with Rihanna for the track "Emergency Room" and he tells the singer, "Keep doing what you're doing baby. Keep things positive!" He added, "She's a strong woman. I think she'll get through it."

"Dollhouse" star Eliza Dushku says any type of violence is unforgivable. "Any way, shape or form of domestic violence is inexcusable in my book."

Enablers, quit making excuses for Chris, that will never help him..that will feed to his abusive frenzy and he will continue his abuse. He needs to be encouraged to seek lots of help. He is on a self destructive path and he needs to be stopped so he can be a role model again and continue with his music.

Chris is an uncivilized barbarian, his groupies are in denial and the most dumb a**es. A jack a** is smarter than cb’s groupies.

U kno wat…if they were regular ppl no one would care if they went at each other…everybody makes mistakes…he shouldn’t have hit her but she may have provoked him…the way he was raised has a lot to do with it so its not all his fault…now i think he sees the error of his way…as a female i still support him no matter what…the two just need not talk to each other ever again…and he better get off and i’m not playin

I THINK WHO EVER IS WITH OUT SIN OR NEVER MADE A MISTAKE NEEDS TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE,……GAYLE SHOULD NOT EVEN HAVE SPOKE ON THIS. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES AND WE ALL ARE INPERFECT. INSTEAD UPBUILDING THESE YOUNG PEOPLE….THE OLDER ONES WHO ARE SUPPOSE TO BE WISE IS TEARING DOWN OUR YOUTH AND BEING UNSUPPORTIVE. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO COUNSEL…..THEY WANT TO POINT FINGERS AT THIS YOUNG MAN ~ HE IS A BOY THAT HASN’T FULLY MATURED BECAUSE IF HE WAS…..THE OUTCOME WOULD OF BEEN DIFFERENT. CHRIS NEEDS COUNSELING AND NEEDS TO MOVE ON FROM THIS RELATIONSHIP. RHIANNA IS YOUNG AS WELL AND NEEDS TO MOVE ON AND LOVE HERSELF ENOUGH NOT TO GO BACK TO THIS RELATIONSHIP. IT IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH PARTIES INVOLVED

Who really knows what happen. Everybody will find out when he goes to court, if we find out. Everything that people are hearing now is hear say. I really like them both. Both of them have history of violence. Rihanna would fight her brother like she was a man. They both need to get some help because we know their temper is high. I would like them to work it out, but they need help. Gayle does not have room to talk.

I dont know why people keep judging him. They dont know wht went down. & anyway they making this thing a big deal when it really isn’t. I don’t even think he really needed to make a apology but his publicist told him to. so he did. I’m not saying it was right b.c it was wrong, but everyone hyping the situation up like it doesn’t happen often, when this type of situation happens a lot. And they keep looking at it from her point of view, what about him. Chris ILY forever. Nothing will change that. Keep doing you!!

You people and your double standards…
It’s okay for a woman to hit a man but not the other way around?

What if this was more serious? What if the Rihanna had a knife?

Pls! Pls! Pls! Peeps stop b n judge & jury. As stated earlier there r 2 sides 2 a story, which I doubt we (public) will ever no. I DON’T condone violence n any form. BBBUUUTTT!—IF TRUE—STDS, causing him to have an accident in a RENTED car, hittin him with 4 or 5” SPIKED heels that can cause some SERIOUS damage where ever that shoe lands. ALL parties should keep their hands, shoes or whatever 2 themselves. HOWEVER AGAIN IF TRUE- HERPES is not something u can just go get SHOT 4 & say all is well. MMAANN he ruined 4 life, just like AIDS. Now how many of u can keep casting that 1st STONE

This all is very unfortunate. You can’t do what he is accused of! But this is the point. Does any news outlet, have the exact account of what went down? Then you have celebs saying whatever about his apology? Do these people(Oprah’s bff) think they matter this much??? Look, if a DA files charges, rip him a new one! But the DA has yet to file charges, and you people print this BS to earn your salary! With rumors like STD’s being the cause of this, we all need to be responsible! These are 2 people. Just because you bought their records, you do not own them! You have people commenting on an unclear subject?

domestic violence is not the answer towards anyone but the media is being hard on this kid.he is only 19 years old come on .we are not perfect.think about all the wrong things you did when you were 19.im sure he will learn from his mistakes.no one knows what their relationship was really like.what if it was rihanna who was abusing him.would the media and fans react the same way?there is two sides to a story and if he choose to not talk about it then thats his business.they are both kids .he needs to just leave that relationship alone and concentrate on his career.he is to young anyway to be involve in a serious relationship he has his whole life ahead of him.this is ridiculous and im sure rihanna is not innocent in this matter.MEN DO GET ABUSE BY WOMEN

you know it is all well and good for us all to have an opinion but like Gabby said we do not know the facts. We can say it’s wrong for him to hit her but what if she hit him first. Noone has the right to hit another person noone. If I hit you then expect to be hit back. We don’t know if she may have hit him first. Does that mean he’s still wrong for hitting her, if someone hits you won’t you hit them back??? Well until we know the entire story we should stay unbiased . let’s just wait and see. No matter who threw the first hit noone has a right to put their hands on another person. Be sure when you are giving something be prepared to receive it also!!!!

i’ve said this once and im going to keep sayin it. if chris was so called abusive to rihanna early on in the relationship and she stayed with him then THAT’S HER FAULT. why she wait til now to tell somebody?

well first of all I dont think anybody knows what really went down that night but then you want to make a statement on things that went down that you didnt see. for all we know all this can be a set up or somthing dont you think that we would have seen a picture of chris brown or rhianna by now.I havent seen anything but a video of him in the back of the all black truck and i dont know if thats him or not cause i didnt even see his face. I think everything that went down that night was meant to go down and anyway chris said he had been scared from seeing his mother get beat by his step father and i can really relate to that because one of my aunts ex-husbands was in this situations when he was young and seeing his mother get beat by his biological father ended up beating on her its all about the past .everybody needs a 2nd chance because i know if you were in this situation you would want another chance too.
