In today’s “Oh, fuck off!” news, Chris Brown was asked by MTV’s Sway if he had any advice for disgraced NFL player Ray Rice. Makes sense, I suppose, since they’re both violent assholes who abuse women. Perfectly understandable! Here’s what Breezy had to say about his experiencing hitting women he says he loves:
“I think it’s all about the choices you make,” said Breezy. “With me, I deal with a lot of anger issues from my past— not knowing how to express myself verbally and at the same time not knowing how to cope with my emotions and deal with them and understand what they are.”
He’s been able to move past his problems by seeking help. “I think help is great,” he added. “I still talk to my therapist twice a week, and it helps me to…if I’m frustrated and I’m dealing with something, to vent and say what I’m going through so I can hear from an actual clinical person, ‘this is how you should react,’ or ‘it’s good to feel this way because feelings, emotions, and energy are supposed to come and go.’ It’s not supposed to stay there, you’re not supposed to keep it inside, because it’ll bottle up and you’ll become a monster.”
But he stopped short of passing judgement. “To Ray, or anybody else—because I’m not better than the next man—I can just say I’ve been down that road. I deal with situations and I’ve made my mistakes too, but it’s all about how you push forward and how you control yourself.”
Gag me. All Chris Brown has learned is that he can do whatever he wants and because he’s famous, the worst he’ll get is a few months in a minimum security cushy prison and then a slap on the wrist as he’s sent on his way. You don’t just beat the shit out of a woman once. That’s not how it happens – it’s never a mistake, or a one-off. Sure, “seek help” is great advice, but not if you don’t actually WANT help and aren’t aware of the gravity of your actions. He’s a piece of shit, and Ray Rice can take a seat right next to him as they rocket themselves right off this planet.
Also, can they take Sway with them? WHO THE HELL THINKS IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO ASK CHRIS BROWN ABOUT THIS?
