Chris Brown's Songs, TV Appearances Yanked From Air
In wake of alleged incident with Rihanna, at least one station has pulled Brown from playlist.

By Gil Kaufman


As the district attorney is seeking more information on the alleged incident between Chris Brown and girlfriend Rihanna that occurred on Sunday in Los Angeles, the fallout from the story continues to impact both singers' careers.

Brown, who was arrested and charged with making criminal threats after an alleged altercation that resulted in reported victim Rihanna sustaining serious injuries to her face, has already lost an endorsement deal with the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company. The company, whose Doublemint Gum ads with Brown ran during the Grammys on Sunday night, suspended the campaign earlier this week.

On Tuesday, EW.com reported that "Sesame Street" said it was dropping all future re-broadcasts of Brown's August 13, 2007, appearance on the show. In the episode, Brown sang the song "See the Signs" and taught Elmo some dance moves.

And though it was unknown at press time if any other outlets were following suit, WAKS FM 96.5 in Cleveland announced that it yanked all Brown songs from its on-air playlist until further notice, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"After the alleged incident the phones exploded," WAKS nighttime DJ Java Joel said in a press release. "It's all that people wanted to talk about. They were outraged at this alleged behavior and wondered why we were continuing to support his music. I agreed and immediately pulled all Chris Brown songs from my show until this thing shakes out in the legal system."

Following Joel's comments, station program director Bo Matthews reportedly decided to pull Brown's music off the station entirely. "It appears that Chris has made some poor choices, we are following the lead of our listeners, and we will not be supporting Chris Brown on 96.5 Kiss FM in Cleveland until the alleged situation gets resolved," Matthews said.

Brown's campaign for the long running "Got Milk?" series was already scheduled to end this week, but the campaign released a statement saying it takes the allegations against the singer "very seriously." Brown has also bowed out of a number of events he was scheduled to attend at this weekend's NBA All-Star game in Phoenix.

Rihanna, who is doing "fine," according to her grandmother, has canceled her Thursday performance in Jakarta, Indonesia, People.com reported. On Tuesday the singer postponed a concert that was to take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Friday. Promoter Pineapple Concerts says that the Malaysia show has been rescheduled for an as-yet-unannounced future date.

Spokespeople for both singers have not returned calls for comment."
 
I've never understood comments like these for two reasons:

1. Do you hold yourself to the same one strike and your out standards?

i see where both of you are coming from. having studied children and families at-risk, including domestic violence, i'm keenly aware that there are a lot of complex issues at-play. indeed, there's no easy answer when it comes to addressing domestic violence, though (being a woman) i'm more inclined to understand and identify with public outrage and the call for strict punishment.

however we, as a society, address the perpetrator, it's just as important that we focus and allocate sufficient resources for its victims. better yet, community stakeholders need to be proactive in helping to ensure that children, especially young girls, build strong, unshakable self-esteem (and no, not through extrinsic, artificial praise!). really folks, it starts early.

Yes, yes, but what are your thoughts on the sustainability of fungus in hell?

It was an expression, and a fairly common one. I didn't mean it literally.

You have to admit that, if anyone deserves to go to hell, men who beat their wives should.
 
What, in your mind, makes a man who abuses his wife more deserving of hell than, say, a pedophile, a person who commits hate crimes, or a republican?

What does a republican have to do with this? :eek: Are you pulling my leg?

I'd say nothing to the first two. A pedophile, and a person who commits hate crimes, also deserves to go to hell.
 
For the record, I believe:

1. Hitting a woman (save for a member of the East German Olympic team) is wrong. I'm not even a fan of chick on chick crime.

2. Hell

3. the soul

4. the cock

5. R.E.M.

6. the small of a woman's back

7. the hangin' curveball

8. high fiber

9. good scotch

10. and soft core pornography.

I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us.
 
What is really sad is that the media makes such a big deal out of a DV case because those involved are simply celebrities. Sad but true these cases happen every single day all over the world, some reported and many more not. What about those who are falsely accused of abusing another? My son is dealing with that issue right now and was kicked out of his own home simply because his psycho live in and baby momma is so desperate she feels the need to hide behind the law and chooses to keep my son at a distance so she can plan her next move. Meanwhile the law compleltely supports her and all of her lies and deception but there is no justice for my son until his day in court.

Domestic Violence laws have become more and more serious just as the percentage of women abuse the law enforcement system against men in their lives. And where is the assistance and justice for same sex couples who engage in abuse? Where are the shelters for them or for men in hetero relationships who are abused by the women in their reltionships? This happens all the time too!

I feel badly for Rhianna and Chris, but this issue should remain private between the two of them and law enforcement and not being splashed all over the media, trying Chris Brown before his day in court!
 
I would not feel bad...

if Jay-Z kicked Chris Brown's ass pretty bad. There has been some reports in the media that Jay-Z said that "Chris Brown is a dead man" "He messed with the wrong people" or something to that effect. While I don't wish nothing like that to that a**hole; I would laugh out loud if I read tomorrow that Jay-Z beat up Chris Brown so badly that he's needing surgery to recover his face.

Maybe I'm being harsh, but I can't stand this kind of stuff. I'm not even a Rhianna fan, I guess the only song from her I know is Umbrella...but the idea of a man beating up a woman is just disgusting to me. I'm just pissed.
 
Jigga's not going to do that himself. He's not a businessman. He's a business, man.
