Frank Ocean Is Not Pressing Charges Against Chris Brown

1.1a

AS A CHILD I THOUGHT IF SOMEONE JUMPED ME IT WOULD RESULT IN ME MURDERING OR MUTILATING A MAN. BUT AS A MAN I AM NOT A KILLER. I’M AN ARTIST AND A MODERN PERSON. I’LL CHOOSE SANITY. NO CRIMINAL CHARGES. NO CIVIL LAWSUIT. FORGIVENESS, ALBEIT DIFFICULT, IS WISDOM. PEACE, ALBEIT TRITE, IS WHAT I WANT IN MY SHORT LIFE. PEACE.

Ugh, a bunch of people are going to come in here and judge him even though he's the victim in this situation not realizing the amount of backlash he would get if he pressed charges. People were already calling him a snitch.

MTE. Plus, Frank doesn't need this playing out in the media because IMO it makes them both look messy as hell.

I think it's clear he's backing down because of behind-the-scenes pressure, which personally just makes me disappointed that there is so much support for CB behind the scenes.

i agree. i can see him backing up for a number of reasons, being easily labelled the 'snitch f*g' as one of them

Whatever, he rich and famous. He's setting a terrible example for victims who don't have that privilege.

He's famous buy rich seems like a stretch. He already has more to deal with unfortunately than an other artist would because of his sexuality, he probably not trying to derail his career just as he is starting.
