Chris Brown's Album 'Fortune' Given Domestic Abuse Warning


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."

Mark was actually arrested and convicted for assaulting a vietnamese man and has himself talked about it in interviews. If that doesn't make him actively racist then I have no idea. Sean Penn was also arrested for abuse so it's not like we're making this stuff up.

sean penn was arrested for battery & vandalism against a photographer, if you watched the video you'd know why. i'm not excusing sean penn, i'm sure he has an anger problem but if we're petitioning celebs, lets do it where we have shit to fall back on. & where did mark walhberg explicitly express his disdain for another race? this article is about woman abusers & being selective in how we support them. i dont think we can protest a sean penn movie based on his battery charge against a photographer like ugh

The very end of the Sean Penn article says: "Penn was also charged with felony domestic assault during his marriage to Madonna. He pleaded to a misdemeanor." And if getting arrested for doing racially motivated crimes multiple times and never bothering to apologize to your victims because you've forgiven yourself doesn't make you a person worth protesting then I don't know what to tell ya.
