Copies of Chris Brown's current album Fortune have been marked by stickers warning against purchasing the album as he 'beats women'.
The stickers have appeared in HMV stores in London, and are thought to be the work of anti-domestic violence campaigners. The stickers read: 'Warning - Do not buy this album! This man beats women.'
Chris Brown has successfully overcome the domestic violence stigma after beating Rihanna into a bloody pulp in 2009 as the pair were en route to the Grammy Awards. He has recently been attempting to make up for his actions by visiting victims of domestic violence.
Speaking of his recent work with a US charity, the 'Turn Up The Music' star said: "It's in my heart to show my fans, my friends and family and the families at Jenesse who stood by me they were right to give me another chance. I'm working hard to make them proud."

Or if they know, they say, "Well, it was a long time ago..." Like that makes it okay.
I mean, we have people making petitions for Polanski to go to the fucking Oscars after he violently raped a girl, and RDJ and others defending Mel Gibson, but people always go after Chris. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but lbr why most of them are okay with bashing him and not others. It isn't because they care so damn much about women either.
this race wank is stupid.
people gave mel gibson so so so so much shit, some people on here really have selective memory, please.
besides his industry friends, publicly mel gibson is looked at as gross as fuck.
& from what i'm told from family members & shit is that RDJ was publicly treated almost identical to lindsay lohan, nobody was fucking with him, he was lampooned constantly. but he actually showed his progress & kept up with it.
chris brown is probably taunted more because hes black but some of yall are really reaching for the stars tho
alot of us don't need the pictures of sean penn fucking madonna up, but the masses, the people who let others think for them, do.
thats why we dont hear about sean penn, because tbh there is no proof he is a woman beater, everything is speculated, everything is a blind item, it doesn't matter to us, but to the public it does tho
The world sucks.

I'm excited!
I didn't realize he was doing this.
He visited a shelter, and people were pretty steamed that a known abuser went to the safe place of people who had suffered at the hands of someone like him, and that it could have potentially very triggering and upsetting to have him there, especially since he was probably doing it for PR - I mean good on him if he's trying to change, but after how he's been acting about the whole situation, he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
I'm not a Chris Brown fan but this just made makes RME.
They don't do this to anyone else but this guy. It's getting annoying. Serve it equally.
this is so zzzz
