Well done (or not done) Chris Brown…

Chris Brown

From Yahoo!

The Chris Brown awfulness parade continues, and we’re not just talking about that Frank Ocean fight: Now the Los Angeles district attorney has filed a motion revealing that Brown might have lied about completing the court-ordered community service that was in effect his entire legal punishment after the singer pled guilty to assaulting Rihanna in 2009.

Though Brown had asked for his community service work to be transferred to Virginia where has a residence, L.A.’s DA now wants Brown to do his community service in Los Angeles and “modify the terms of his probation accordingly.”

When investigators from the Los Angeles DA’s office went to Virginia to look into Brown’s work, the inquiry “revealed no credible, competent or verifiable evidence that Defendant Brown performed hiscommunity labor as represented to this court.” The DA’s motion, which you can read in full here viathe Los Angeles Times, explains that no one from the Virginia’s Department of Corrections Probation and Parole Office “ever approved, scheduled, supervised, monitored, or verified any of the community labor reported.”

How many times must the obvious be on display before we get the message? How many times must Chris Brown prove that he is both incapable of managing his anger (even after anger management) and dealing with his misogyny?

Yes, he was lured into his latest twitter brawl. That is not in dispute.  Chris Brown isn’t the brightest candle on the birthday cake.  That too is not in dispute.  Most importantly not in dispute is that Brown’s response to comedian Jenny Johnson was vile, despicable and unjustified.

Since the exchange, Brown has deleted his page and Johnson has allegedly received multiple death threats.  And who the hell would DARE mention his own mom in  misogyny about defecating in either the mouth or the eye of another woman…other than Chris Brown?!

Ever heard of blocking someone Chris?  I’m sure somewhere, right now, Chris Brown is explaining adamantly how he was neither wrong nor would have changed a thing.  Why?  Because he keeps doing the same thing, time and time again.  If Chris Brown is anything, he’s consistent.

Let me be exceptionally clear, there is nothing that Johnson said which necessitated or justified the type of response Brown offered. Only a rudderless child would think such a public and vulgar rant was appropriate or reasonable in nature.  If he says nothing in response, he would have won and Johnson receives the heat but common sense has never been too common in the Brown house.  At times I wished Brown was on drugs or an alcoholic…for then at least there might have been a reasonable explanation for being so out of touch with reality.

But no…it’s just who he is.

For far too long, Brown and his supporters have made the argument that people need to “let it go” or Brown has “paid his debt.”

Wrong…and wrong.

Paying a debt to society only refers to the judicial system and the penalties levied by it. There is no expiration date on the social pariah label. Ask OJ Simpson, and he was even found “not guilty” (well at least the first time around). Ask child molesters and rapists. Brown doesn’t get to decide when the beating of Rihanna no longer matters to you or me. In fact, Rihanna doesn’t decide for us either. Her willingness to re-engage Brown is not a mitigating factor. If anything, it’s battered woman syndrome on full display.

What Brown supporters fail to acknowledge or understand is that one’s artistic ability never outweighs decency. Would we passively accept the random man beating our sister? Would we excuse a random man tossing a chair at a window because he found ONE interview question uncomfortable? Would we make allowances for a random man publicly tweeting he would defecate in the eye of our sister, our mother, our daughter?

Of course we wouldn’t.

It is ridiculous to suggest then that such behavior is more acceptable or excusable because the man in question is not random, but instead a superstar singer. Chris Brown has zero respect for women, none. Chris Brown is unable to control his temper, even post anger management counseling. He’s guilty of verbal and physical abuse of women and public vulgar, misogynistic displays toward women. There’s nothing to debate here. He has demonstrated time and time again he simply doesn’t get it. He can’t even fake it and isn’t trying all that hard to trick you or me.

This is no way excuses Jenny Johnson’s instigation but let’s be real…Jenny to my knowledge didn’t previously send someone half her size to the hospital either.

Deleting a twitter page does nothing to address the root issues here, his emotional instability. Nothing has changed with Brown since first pushing his fist into Rihanna’s eye socket. He is neither contrite nor humble, making the same horrible decisions as he did prior to putting hands on Rihanna. It’s the same guy, acting in the same uncontrollable fashion. We know how this story ends.

And make no mistake, Rihanna reconciling with Brown has only exacerbated the situation. It sends the horrible message to Brown that he has no reason to change. It sends the horrible message to both abusive men and battered women that Brown-Rihanna is either normal or nominal in nature.

There will be another embarrassing and misogynistic Chris Brown incident, of that I’m sure. There will be another public, hateful display and deleting Twitter will do nothing to prevent it. Twitter was never the problem, it was always Brown. That’s like removing all the alcohol from the house but never treating the alcoholic.

Until Brown is truly held accountable for his behavior and is forced to address his emotional instability, there will be no change. If he is unable to reasonably maneuver text criticism regarding the beating of Rihanna even years later, then Brown should withdraw from public life altogether. There will be more criticism and more goading on the horizon, without a doubt.

Punching women in the face with your fists will never be acceptable and no number of hit singles (no pun intended) will ever change this fact.  Delete Chris Brown’s career, not just his Twitter feed.

And with it, she smashes Kim Kardashian’s record of 72 days for remaining in a sham marriage, with a new record “low” of 41 days.

NEW YORK — Evelyn Lozada is ending her 41-day-old marriage to Chad Johnson after the football star was arrested for allegedly head-butting her over the weekend.

Danika Berry, a rep for the VH1 reality star, confirmed reports that Lozada filed for divorce on Tuesday.

Earlier, Lozada issued a statement saying Johnson — cut by the Miami Dolphinsafter the Saturday arrest — “needs help.” She also said that he was lying when he told police she head-butted him.

The two were married July 4 after their courtship was detailed on VH1′s “Basketball Wives.” Their nuptials were to be part of the VH1 reality show “Ev & Ocho,” but it’s now been shelved.

The altercation allegedly occurred after Lozada questioned him about a receipt for condoms that she found.

On Tuesday afternoon, Johnson released a statement:

I would like to apologize to everyone for the recent events that have occurred. I would like to wish Evelyn well and will never say anything bad about her because I truly love her to death. I will continue to be positive and train hard for another opportunity in the NFL. To all the fans and supporters I have disappointed, you have my sincerest apologies. I will stay positive and get through this tough period in my life.”

Lately, singer Brian McKnight has received more publicity for his rather explicit music offerings, generally related to criticism for them.

Regardless of how you may feel or not feel about the explicit nature of his music lately, you have to take notice of his rant, throwing elbows at not one…not two…but three influential members of the African-American entertainment community.

Evidently McKnight is less than pleased with the scrutiny of his career, relative to those mentioned in the Twitter rant.  It seems McKnight senses a double-standard as to what is “acceptable” behavior for stars these days.  A triple-decker “beef” sandwich for Brian McKnight.

He does have a point…but the real question is, is McKnight credible enough to be the one to make it? Hat tip to allhiphop.com for the story.

Mo’Kelly wants to be out in front of this.  Let the comparisons to Chris Brown

Matthew Fox

begin.  Let’s collectively examine how the media addresses this issue, the subsequent revelations/apologies and where it goes for Fox’s career from here.

Right now, the score is zero-zero.  We will see if this negatively impacts Fox’s career (regardless of court outcome).  Will there be an apology tour?  Will there be an interview with Good Morning America?

There will not be any Monday Morning Quarterbacking in The Mo’Kelly Report.  We will follow this story step-by-step.

It is though indicated that the bus driver might have BROKEN HER HAND in punching Fox back.  According to Borman, Fox was punching her in her CROTCH!

WOWZERS!

_______________________

Lost” actor Matthew Fox was arrested after allegedly punching the female bus driver of a party bus,according to The Hollywood Reporter. In attempt to return to his hotel in Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday night, Fox reportedly struck the driver in the chest and stomach after she refused to allow him aboard the vehicle, TMZ reports – Fox was not a part of the private party that had rented out the bus.

The 29-year-old driver also landed a blow to Fox’s face — and may have broken her hand in the process. Fox has been released to a friend following his arrest. But Fox’s victim, Heather Bormann, has since spoken out about the actor’s violent outburst: “This was my self-defense,” Bormann told TMZ. “This was the only way I could protect myself … from a man beating up on a woman.”

No, Mo’Kelly didn’t miss this story…just busy in the non-virtual world.  Once again, Chris Brown is back in trouble for saying and doing the wrong thing in public view.

If you know the words to this song, feel free to sing along.

On Wednesday, Chris Brown became the latest celebrity to apologize to the LGBT community for using a gay slur in anger. The singer issued a Twitter mea culpa for an incident on Tuesday in which he lashed out at several photographers in Los Angeles whom he believed had tipped off parking-enforcement officers to his illegally parked car, saying, “Y’all n—as is weak. Did you call them to try and film me? Y’all n—as is gay!”

The comments came just days after comedian Tracy Morgan met with LGBT youth in New York following his anti-gay rant during a recent stand-up appearance, which earned the “30 Rock” star widespread scorn from the gay community for his seeming advocacy of violence against gay youth.

The Human Rights Campaign told TMZ that “invoking words to demean gay Americans is just plain unacceptable … Brown should know better.”

Brown, who has made outrageous digital comments before — including a homophobic attack on former B2K singer Raz B in December — only toask forgiveness for them a short time later, issued an apology on Twitter on Wednesday night, writing, “I have total respect for Gay community and my intention was not to insult anyone in it.”
