Chris Brown's 'Monster' Response A Bad Idea
Chris
spends the majority of the 37 second clip updating his fans on his new album in
the works, but also makes sure to briefly and vaguely address the controversy.
"Everybody's that's haters, they just been haters," Chris says in the dimly lit video. "All my real fans, I love you all. I ain't a monster."
While Chris has received tremendous support from fans who maintain his innocence, he has lost an endorsement deal with Wrigley's and has avoided the limelight.
In the video Chris announces the name of his new album in the works. "I just wanna say ‘What's up?' because I ain't been out there in a minute. New album will be coming soon. We're working on it right now. Called Graffiti. Got everything on it, know what I'm saying? I'll be ready for that. I'm about to drop a single this summer for y'all. So we ain't going nowhere."
I can only imagine how Chris feels. He goes from clean cut image to that of a notorious alleged woman beater. A couple weeks after the incident he released a brief statement via his publicist in which he expressed sadness for what had transpired, saying he was seeking counseling. Since, he continues to be dogged in the media. The Chicago-based hip-hop group the Jump Smokers made a popular song that suggests he be beaten. I know that all of this has to be troubling him. Resisting the urge to respond has to be unbearable.
He
says so little in this video that it seems harmless. But it is hard to image
that recording this response met the approval of his attorneys, publicists and
manager.
He needs to devote all of his energy to trying to get through this ordeal. Recording an emotional video only contributes more speculation as onlookers have an opportunity to analyze his words, body language, tone or presence of remorse.
I know he is anxious to get back out on the scene. But he's got to be patient. He is in the midst of an intense legal matter with severe allegations.
Chris, continue to work on your music. But don't release video updates. You could be making matters worse. It's not worth the risk.

It's men...no...little boys like remedyrsvp that makes me just want to throw up, and it shows the maturity level of him as well. Don't beat the girl up, get the hell away from her!!! I'm not saying a girl hitting someone is excused, but my damn, can't you think like a MAN than little hood rat mother off the street? Violence is never an answer in a relationship. Be the bigger MAN and walk AWAY.
Ash Mash...shut that BS up. I wish he did hit you, it's not like you'd care apparently, you would be an idiot for entirely different reasons.
love Tani
If there's a next time I'll look forward to seeing Jay-Z put Chris thru a wall.
Shame on you. Beating on someone you could walk away from or over power make you a monster indeed.
