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."

Regarding Chris B. & Rihanna - Its never a good thing when there is domestic violence - lets not judge until all the facts are out. Unless you were in the car - you do not know what happened. I just don’t want people to rush to judgement.

alot of you people need to get your facts Straight Rihanna does not have herpes Chris brown started and argument with her at a party and he was still talking with his ex-girlfriend the fact is i don’t care if she smacked his punk A*$ no man should ever put their hands on a woman and those who call themselves on Chris browns side lat a man beat your mother like he beat that poor young sweet girl mind you he has been controlling her and her career for a long time so before you comment and say something hurtful to all battered women learn the situation there is not one for a man to hit a woman!!! and if you truly feel like she deserved that tell the person that you annoy everyday that they now have the right to beat you until both your eyes are swollen shut while leaving you in the middle of the street alone..


my gog bless Rihanna

“An NK, I hope you are tied down and forced sterilization for your idiotic statement. You’re dirt. You don’t deserve to EVER have children.”

These are actually the first comments I’ve read that have been writin by people with some sence. I loved phoenix’s you said everything I wanted to say and more. The only reason I’m writing this comment is to tell KWXZ-TV what a duchebag he/she is. First of all NK is not condoning violence is anyway shape or form,he/she’s simply stating THE FACT that we HAVE NO FACTS to go by. MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO BACK AND READ IT ONE MORE TIME (It sounds like your from a tv station hence the TV at the end of your name) so I quess ill excuss your behavior after all you are part of the problem and its just part of your job to be a complete idiot. PEOPLE PLEASE DON’T FORGET THAT THESE ARE TWO KIDS. They deserve the same respect that any of us would get in the same situation(PRIVACY). I am a woman that was once in an abusive relationship and I know that its not always the guys fault and unless you’ve been in that position you have no right to judge until ALL THE FACTS ARE PUT OUT THERE.

He’s just sorry he got caught if he gets jail time, perhaps after someone slaps him around a little bit he’ll know how it feels.

For all those idiots who claim that they don’t know all the facts…

FACT Rihanna got beaten up…by CHRIS BROWN! You can’t deny the fact that he admits and apologizes for.

No matter how bad you want the facts to twist and turn RI is the victim of domestic violence(.)PERIOD

Wow, Gayle can speak with out Oprah pulling the strings - interesting. At any rate, I agree with Gabrielle all the facts are not known yet and while it’s unfortunate maybe we can use it as a case for further dialog.

A few months back Chris Brown said he didn’t want Rhianna wearing sexy clothes on stage…I knew right then that he was controlling & probably abusive on some level. I volunteer at a domestic violence shelter , so I do know something about this. When a man tells a woman what to wear, that is a big red flag. So I’ve always wondered & now I guess we have the evidence don’t we?! Rhianna needs to seek some professional help & GET OUT. The recovery rate for abusers is EXTREMELY LOW, even with counseling, most continue to abuse.
