So to start this series off lets keep it current with R&B singer Chris Brown.

Brown is a Grammy award winning R&B singer who just can’t stay out of trouble lately.

In 2009 Brown was charged for assaulting his then girlfriend Pop superstar Rihanna. Brown was sentenced to 5 years probation, six moths of community service and one year of domestic violence counseling. Brown had apologized numerous times for his actions and expressed his regrets and asked the world for forgiveness. You would think after all of that he would never be in trouble with the law again but unfortunately that’s not the case. Brown made headlines again for getting into random physical altercations which caused him to violate his probation from his 2009 case (his alleged drug use did not help the situation either). Brown’s currently in jail and expected to serve 365 days in jail for violating his probation.

My opinion is that to dodge the fist incident which was so public and destructive to his career was luck because people don’t always get a second chance. Especially for someone who made a mistake which will never go away. But to keep getting in trouble with the law after just proved he may need to spend sometime in jail to really learn from his mistakes. He is young, rich and famous so that can be a little overwhelming for anyone. Even though I’m not condoning his reckless behavior, I do think he got caught up in both the hype and the negativity thrown his way after the incident which caused him to lash out in such a self destructing manner. When he gets out of jail hopefully he will stay out of trouble and focus on what we originally knew him for his talent.
