Chris Brown Opens Up About Female on Male Domestic Violence & His Feelings on Rihanna’s Interview

I could have used a juicer title but i won’t (it’s starting to get some people in trouble , it is what it is

This is the best interview i have read or seen from Chris Brown and it comes from the UK…The Times to be exact.
Chris opens up about female on male violence and gives an example which he says is not specific to his situation ( but

he’s obviously saying it for a reason). The reporter gives a outsiders view on Chris and journey’s through his fast rise to fame, details of the incident and the aftermath. The ‘coincidental’ album releases of both Chris & Rihanna , their love for each other and why he felt that staying together would have had a bigger impact on teens and the awareness of domestic abuse.

IMO much better than any other tv / radio interview;

Chris Brown on Female on Male violence

“Domestic violence is totally wrong whatever the circumstances, no exceptions,” he tells me. “But a lot of people think it’s a one-sided issue, ie, only men on women. Let’s give an example… I’m not saying verbatim it’s what happened, but if a woman hits her man it’s looked on as if it’s him who’s not being macho. It’s kind of laughed at, like [he imitates a mocking male voice], ‘Ha-ha, your girl beat you up! Not much of a man, are you?’ But if a man, let’s say, were to defend himself or to use force back, then he’s wrong – and in every sense he is wrong, of course, because there are choices that you make. It’s always a mutual situation though. I feel if force is being used by both of them, then both are wrong.

“We’ve been told [in his group counselling sessions] that in domestic violence situations, 60, maybe 70 per cent of cases are male on female, which means that the other 40 or 30 per cent must be female on male. And that figure could even be higher, ’cos what guy is going to find it easy to come out and say, ‘Yeah, my girl beats me’? I’m not talking about my case here… But it’s just wrong, all wrong. Any one person hitting another is completely wrong.”

On how feels about Rihanna /Love now:

“I think that interview [with Sawyer] helped put things in perspective. It just really made me focus on me. I think previously I was too focused on love. There’s nothing wrong with that, but sometimes love can make you lose sight of your goal, of what your purpose is. I’m always going to have love in my heart for her, but I’m not heartbroken right now. I’m moving forward. I will always be remorseful for the situation but at this point, I’m just living my life.”
