Chris Brown 'Deserves Respect,' Says Chris Brown



Singer posts online rant following latest media backlash

Just to recap: In 2009, Chris Brown beat Rihanna's face to a bloody pulp. Though for that crime, he was sentenced to community service, which, it has now come to light he fraudulently bailed on, he commemorated the incident b tattooing it to his neck. Shortly thereafter he threw a bare-chested temper tantrum o Good Morning America. Over the summer, he got in scuffle with Drake, reportedly concerning Rihanna, in a New York City night club. Meanwhile he failed a drug test, violating the terms of his probation. On Halloween 2012, he and his poss dressed as Arab terrorists. In November, he started sexist Twitter war ith a female comedian. Last week, h assaulted Frank Ocean in a parking lot, and someone in his camp used a homophobic slur and threatened to kill the singer. Then, h compared himself to Jesus. And, at least lately, he's been able to find solace from all thi in the arms of Rihanna, the woman who started this ugly news cycle by getting her face in the way of his fists. But this man still deserves your respect, because this man says so.

In a rant posted to his now-private Instagram account, Brown says enough is enough with the media backlash MTV News as the screen shot, which we've transcribed (in its creatively punctuated glory) below.



"I love ya'll but ya'll getting repetitive telling me to go relax no im not gonna relax im makin an album right now... and yall tell me not to pay attention to it how can I not when its on my radio,tv and everything else...Even if I did relax I wouldn't stop hearing about it.. yall are everything to me yall know this but telling me to ignore it is like telling me to walk around with a blindfold and stick ear plugs in my ear... Im wise I can handle the hate but enough is enough you!! Yes it bothers me but its not my main focus! My music is... and when I speak on it .. its because I want people to know how I feel.. Yes they talked about Jesus... but "him" I am not him, not even close!!! Im a human being and I honestly think I deserve respect im sick of being accused... Im Tired yall just don't understand I've been going through this shit since I was 19 years old.. you cant sit here and tell me to calm down, when am I gonna get a positive outcome out of anything I do? when can I get that feed back? Im TIRED do you read me im tired!!!!!! Im not gonna sit here and play victim, Im just tired of this shit... I pray every day and night for a new outcome... and just when everything seems to be going good some new shit happens.. A day in my shoes is a day in hell, believe it or not! Y'all don't wanna be in my predicament ... Before yall say im weak remember what ive been through.. My soul cries for positivity Im not broken I am STRONG...."

ikr is he just conveniently forgetting all the shit he pulled to make people hate him more? assaulting people? throwing chairs at windows? using sexist and homophobic terminology?

MTE. if the ONLY thing he did was beat rihanna and he did make amends and do community service and apologize sincerely every single time it was brought up and was remorseful and taught classes to domestic violence perpetrators and you know, like even attempted to make up for his actions i might agree that after several years and a mountain of evidence that he was sorry and is different from then on, that it was time to let it go. but not only did he not do ANY of those things, he did some much more shit on top of it to make things a hundred time worse. smh.

MTE
The reason he is so hated is because he showed no remorse, he just wanted the media and everyone to move on and forget about it. If they bring it up, he throws chairs at windows and rips off his shirt instead of truly apologizing and trying to make a difference by speaking against domestic violence.

Oh wait it's Chris Brown I am talking about... I guess I am expecting too much from this asshole
