Chris Brown’s Breakdown Courtesy Of Eyedrops?
The debate over Arizona’s controversial immigration law was almost overshadowed this week by the debate over the authenticity (or lack thereof) of Chris Brown’s teary breakdown during his possibly career rehabilitating tribute to Michael Jackson at Sunday night’s BET Awards. On one end of the spectrum are those who believe his tears were genuine, while those who believe the whole thing was faker than a two-dollar bill are on the other.
In a story today on UsMagazine.com, which is sure to ruffle some feathers, an unidentified backstage source at Sunday night’s show claims to have witnessed Brown using tear-inducing eye drops before his performance of “Man in the Mirror.” The witness told the online version of the tabloid weekly that after the singer’s bodyguard handed him the drops, “He rubbed it in and he started crying.”
As a former activist in the domestic violence community in my home state of North Carolina, I saw firsthand the effects this kind of behavior has on not just individuals, but entire communities. That being said, it’s unnecessary for me to beat people over the head about where I stand on the back-story of Sunday night’s waterworks. But surprisingly, I’m going to give Chris a pass on this one since I don’t recall him exiting the stage before his attempt at belting out “Man in the Mirror,” and although I’m not completely knowledgeable about the way tear-inducing drops work, I’m almost completely sure their effects kick in immediately.
Now I’m still on the fence about the genuineness of Chris’s emotional outburst, and I don’t completely buy the “he was moved by the opportunity to pay tribute to his idol” line that his spokesperson has been feeding the press, but I refuse to believe that someone would be so low-down, trifling, and grimey as to use tear-inducing eye drops to get back into the public’s good graces.
Hollywoodlife.com had a reporter backstage who was 10 feet away from Chris before, during, and after his performance and they have confirmed that this story is completely untrue. Stephen Hill ,who is BET’s Executive Vice President of Entertainment and Music Programming ,was backstage as well and has also confirmed that this story is untrue. PLEASE just let Chris be great. There is no one out who can even come close to his amount of talent. His tribute was amazing. He has suffered enough and deserves a second chance.
I’m on the fence with this website. I mean sometimes you can find really positive articles on here and then other time you find rumors and smut…..I mean let us know, is this a place for empowerment or just the same trash I could read in a tabloid if I so wanted to do so….I dont know maybe im overreacting…
Chris B was just amazing on stage. It almost looked as if MJ was on stage just performing the joy of music. Chris B haters need to let the whole Rihanna thing go. There are ppl out in the world that have done far more violent things than Chris. The listeners and the media need Chris B because there has been lack of talented performers. Chris B can dance smooth like MJ and sing very well. I really hope Chris B sings man in the mirror again on TV or put it on his next CD because it sounded nice. The ppl who have been topping the charts are Tpain and Soulja Boy…we need CB BACK!
Agree with all 3 above! This is exactly what Im talkin about, this is a clothing site supposely to find deals, and we come and find trash on the side and wonder if its worth clickin on. Watching that bet performance, man that was real. Cant nobdoy fake something like that. He was too chocked up, and couldnt even sing the words, come non now quit being messy dr.jays.
