Chris Brown Volunteers At Jenesse Domestic Violence Center



There's nothing more rewarding than helping out others in need.

Chris Brown found himself visiting and helping children get ready for school at Los Angeles' Jenesse Center, a non-profit specializing in domestic violence intervention and prevention.

The "Turn Up The Music" singer and his mother have frequented the center on numerous occasions without cameras and publicity, but Breezy wanted to make sure children victimized by domestic violence had a great back to school experience.

Chris played and spoke with the children at Jenesse for their annual "Back To School Fall Festival," while providing them with school supplies and other back to school materials.

Karen Earl, Jenesse’s CEO stated:

"It is our focus on family violence and its impact on youth that compelled us to open our hearts and our doors to Chris Brown and his mother, Joyce Hawkins. Chris and his mom have spent many quiet hours at our facilities, no cameras, no special attention or entourages – they just came to learn. Jenesse is thankful to Chris for spending time with our youth and celebrating the end of summer and returning back to school."

This is definitely the happy and carefree Chris Brown we love to see! It's good to witness Chris Brown giving back to a community in need! Keep up the good work Breezy!

I hope he did and that he is genuine about learning about this. I also hope no one was hurt/triggered by him even just being there.

How do the survivors feel about this?

I'd like to know that too
quiet_storm 7th-Sep-2012 01:36 pm (UTC)
That was my thought...why would they want him there? He's doing it for him and not them and they're the one's that matter.
goldenlockets 7th-Sep-2012 03:31 pm (UTC)
as a survivor of domestic abuse, i would be incredibly offended tbh
alicel 7th-Sep-2012 06:24 pm (UTC)
mte. you brought a known abuser into a home full of women who have been abused. he can rehabilitate himself on his own time and far, far away from women and children who have suffered horribly because of people like him.

Before all you guys go off on him, I think that it's a really good thing he is doing. No matter if it is late and whanot.


I also think that he is really fucked up right now...looks like he is goin through it. Dude is just so skinny, and he's definitely hittin those drugs. Although these pics don't seem as bad.
lazmy 7th-Sep-2012 04:10 am (UTC)
regardless of what he does i'll always be bitter because of my own personal experiences with domestic violence. i wish i could see this as a ~positive step in the right direction~ but all i see is the damage he did to her face (and what happened to me personally).

if that makes me a horrible person then i'll own it
blessedbell 7th-Sep-2012 04:15 am (UTC)
you aren't, and I doubt this is. I feel like he's impinging on a safespace for survivors for publicity.
fashionbb 7th-Sep-2012 04:21 am (UTC)
It IS a positive step. It's a positive thing period.

Although I will say, he has not helped his own situation in any way. From his rants on twitter and his past media appearances...NONE of it has been good. It's definitely clear he does not have anyone stable enough in his circle to set him straight. I'm sure him constantly being in the spotlight has not helped at all. He never stepped away for awhile to RE-EVALUATE himself.

I truly think that he did get it a lot worse from the media because of WHO the person was and because of the one photo. I feel like had that not happened, no one would give a flyin fuck.

eta: you are not a horrible person & i am not defending him, just sayin

I've been there as well. *hugs* if you want them.
miss_kate18 8th-Sep-2012 01:45 pm (UTC)
mte, I've experienced domestic violence and I wouldn't be comfortable with a known offender turning up at what is supposed to be a safe space for victims.
brosling 7th-Sep-2012 04:17 am (UTC)
he can go learn how to be a better person far away from other survivors in their own damn safe place
browniecakemix 7th-Sep-2012 04:30 am (UTC)
I'm just concerned about how the women at the shelter feel. If his ~learning experience was put above their potential emotional pain, then this was a shitty thing to do and shows that he hasn't learned anything. If there were a way to find out how the shelter addressed that potential issue, I'd be more enthusiastic about this (because, that aside, I would agree that this is good for him to be doing).
ponpiri 7th-Sep-2012 04:43 am (UTC)
I totally agree with you. It appears that he's making steps in the right direction, so more power to him. (Although I think part of this is PR for his inevitable reunion with Riri but we'll see)
quiet_storm 7th-Sep-2012 01:37 pm (UTC)
But he's doing it for his own ends. What about the women there? Why do they want an abuser in their midst?
killetheth 7th-Sep-2012 03:29 pm (UTC)
ia, it's really good to see him doing things like this

he can die imho

I'm waiting for the day he crashes and burns.

that's a wonderful thing to say.
lazmy 7th-Sep-2012 04:23 am (UTC)
i never claimed to be a wonderful person. your opinion of my comments is meaningless to me either way so
gyuri 7th-Sep-2012 04:18 am (UTC)
tbh, i don't wish death upon anyone, but i do hope that he gets some kind of incurable disease that brings him to death's doorstep and just keeps him there, never giving him the satisfaction of being put of his misery by being granted to die.
candycheeks 7th-Sep-2012 04:22 am (UTC)
well damn
fashionbb 7th-Sep-2012 04:25 am (UTC)
I really don't understand this line of thinking. And I truly wonder how people would react, if he actually did drop and die.

pangea_deux 7th-Sep-2012 04:49 am (UTC)
the people who say "i don't get this type of thinking" must not get out much.

Try talking to a rape victim or someone who is seriously hurt.

I personally would never wish someone death, but I can see being unforgivable to some.
kimberwyn 7th-Sep-2012 06:21 am (UTC)
everytime I see him I just hope he falls down a well or the stage somehow collapses on him or something...
resided 7th-Sep-2012 07:40 am (UTC)
ignorant.
time_ambassador 7th-Sep-2012 10:44 am (UTC)
i agree completely. i think every rapist and abuser deserves nothing less tbh.
antoinettemarie 7th-Sep-2012 10:49 am (UTC)
Same. Deliberate cruelty is not forgivable. Thanks Streetcar!
