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."

I think that there are too many people involved in this incident. The only people that matter are Chris, Rhianna, and God. They are the only ones who know what happened that night. No one is perfect and we tend to believe that celebrities are!!! They are human just like you and I and deserve the same treatment as the rest of us. We should not judge or speculate because of who they are and what we are hearing. There’s a reason why they are staying out of the spotlight right now, it’s because we all need to pray for them BOTH and stay out of it!!! Let God handle it!!

I wholeheartedly agree with Sheila who posted on 2/16/09 08:34 PM and I wish people would get off their high horses and stop acting if they have never done anything they ended up regretting. We DON’T know what happened, only Chris & Rihanna know and furthermore…It is NOT up to any of us to judge.

Violence should NEVER be tolerated period!! There is absolutely NO excuse for hitting someone! People in relationships come together with all their issues and and baggage from their past. Some are small things that can be overlooked and some are huge things that can’t be overlooked. They need to become aware of and recognize their baggage that they bring to the relationship. They need to work on their own issues. You can’t work on other people’s issues or change them. They have to want to do that themselves. Just because someone had a bad childhood does not mean they have to be that way too! Issues and problems can be worked through! Sometimes that means getting help with those issues. So, sorry guys, no way is Violence a good thing! it only leads to destruction of oneself and their partner.

@Angry fans - Did Chris or Rhianna phone you personally to tell you about this STD? STOP CHATTING RUBBISH !!
Go get a job or go back to school or go and get a life.
NO ONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN CHRIS AND RHIANNA’S RELATIONSHIP AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED ON SUNDAY NIGHT. Only God can judge these two people.

Both Rihanna and Chris Brown need to take responsibility for what happen because they both could of handled the situation wrong. Any type of hitting by one perosn to another is wrong period. not just when its a man on a woman. what type of sense does that make. are you trying to say that if it was a woman who supposedly beat rihanna that it would have been more acceptable. no. it’s still wrong. and bother of them need to work this out on their own. and if radio stations and media willing to pull chris brown music off and ads.. the same needs to be done to rihanna because no one knows the true story yet and everyone needs to take responsibility for their actions. suppose it turns out that rihanna did somethings wrong in this situation also? then she should also pay the consequences.especially since this can happen again and not just by another male. and for the record i know some of her family members who stop playing her music as well as chris own. so what does that tell you. t

There Needs to be a Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence…! No Excuse or Apology can take back what happened. How many times has he hit her before? Just like we don’t know the whole story, we don’t know the history either. Who cares about his past…he brought it into his future. Like the common criminal, he needs to be held responsible for his actions, not given more rewards…! What’s the lesson in all this? Teaching our kids violence is okay because you can always apologize later? Give Me A Break…!

Violence is never the answer! and it really does not matter who threw the first blow. My opinion is that they both should be held accountable for what happened. Anyone and everyone can be driven to anger and it seems that neighter one of them has the maturity to deal with the level of success that they have accomplished at such a young age. I think that it might have been too soon for their parents to send them out on a date without the chaperones.We should also take into account that women as well as men are the aggressors in domestic violence situations, yes, it goes both ways you know. I am just awaiting for the day when the sheeps clothing will unveil the wolf,eighter way it will still be soo very sad to really know who actually needs the anger management therapy but who ever it ends up to be; we will all just need to send an outpouring of love and support to him or her because somewhere during their lifetime here, LOVE was obviously miscommunicated to them.

Well the way I look at is NO one knows what really happened but Chris and Rihanna. You all can say what you like but and yes I am a female, but a woman can also push so many buttons and do so many things that a HUMAN being is HUMAN and sometimes they snap and cant take anymore. I’m sure she wasnt just sitting there and he hit her for no reason. I am a 43 year old woman. I have been through alot, mentally and physically. I know for a fact an argument can get out of hand and people regret things that happen during those times. I am in NO way saying violence is acceptable but before you judge people maybe you should put yourself in their shoes for once instead of passing judgement. If you have never gotten mad, never did things you regret then go ahead and cast stones but I’m sure there is none of you out there that hasnt done something they regret. So give Chris the benefit of the doubt before you hang him. Im sure Rihanna is not saint herself. Im sorry she was hurt but maybe she provoked it to the point he just lost it. And forgiving is something we all need to learn to do.

i think women tryin to say i am so mad act him. u dont even know all the story? and i love both of them and i wish women stop tryin to make this a big deal. because womens will let a men keep hittin them and they still say o he love me girl. so i just cant believe some things these womens are sayin. u got to FORGIVE him are u also and the WRONG because : you got to love ur neighbor and firends: and forgave those who hurt u, lie to u, and want ever so i love u chirs brown and i forgive u and keep doing u because u not the only celebrity that been in the media about there life u may loose some fans but they where not for u anywaz but i am still here and i kno she wishin the media will back off so she can get near because i do not think she wont to let u go yet because she just like the others and if loves there who to blame her.

Human behavior is still a mystery. So
many things in ones life,enviroment,
genetics,and personality shape a human.
If the basic foundation wasn’t layed
right, then that can be the source of
most behavioral issues. Our personality
is formed by three years old.
Some where Chris never learned to control his anger/rage properly. This
of course lead to the incident. There
are several ways to treat this problem.
However, the individual must wholly
admit and believe he/she has a problem.
A good complete psychiatic evaluation
needs to be done as well as blood tests,
MRI and Neurological evaluation to rule
out any other causes. Also, good regular therapy is a must.
Spiritually a good cleansing is needed.
That is if the person is a spiritual
individual.
Chris is young and with the proper treatment, I see no reason why can’t resume a normal healthy life.

I feel so sorry for Rihanna. No one deserves being abused. I really hope Chris is in fact getting help and will take it seriously. I used to look up to him so much (he’s still a good entertainer, no doubt) and was so in love with him, but now I’m starting to change my mind.

God bless you!
