Why Chris Brown Won’t Ever Learn

3/22/2011 – by Cynthia S. Wright

During this morning’s taping of Good Morning America, Chris Brown was scheduled to perform two songs and discuss the upcoming release of his new album.

After his first initial performance, he then sat down with news host Robin Roberts to begin his interview. During the live interview, Ms. Roberts – instead of catering to Brown’s ego, began to question him regarding his physical altercation with Rihanna. Brown tried his best to dodge the questions by focusing the attention back onto his upcoming album but Ms. Roberts kept steering the topic back to that particular instance in Brown’s career.

After the interview, Brown visibly upset, left the studio screaming, which caused security to be alerted. An anonymous source that was present at the scene stated that not only did Brown smash a glass that shattered all over 43rd and Broadway but that in his rage, Brown tore off his shirt and stormed out the building refusing to do his second scheduled performance. Brown is currently on probation stemming from his felony and is required to stay out of trouble.

Although, at that point, all tips were still considered “gossip”, Brown took to his Twitter and went on Tweeting rampage discussing how he was wronged.

“I’m so over people bringing this past shit up!! Yet, we praise Charlie Sheen and other celebs for bullshit,” Brown wrote. (The post has since been deleted.)

Now, he is correct – we do seem to uphold certain celebrities and vilify others but what Brown doesn’t seem to grasp is that he should be held accountable for his actions and what he did to physically assault another person. Not only that, he only seemed to want to show how rehabilitated he was when the actual Rihanna pictures surfaced, which put his career in jeopardy.

Yet, Brown’s attempt at throwing Charlie Sheen’s issues out there (even though, as crazy as he might be, Sheen has been upfront with his mess) shows how he doesn’t want to truly be held accountable for his actions. The fact is, he is neither Charlie Sheen nor Mel Gibson – only Brown can show himself in a better light by addressing the questions pertaining to his situation (no matter how uncomfortable) like a grown man. Instead, he opts to smash a window showing his inability to rationalize as an adult. Allowing people to think that he hasn’t really changed because he quickly slipped right back into a familiar pattern.

Violence is as synonymous with Chris Brown as Twitter rages and penis shots and for somebody who wants to be taken so serious as a musical artist, he continually screws himself over (Who is allowing him to have a Twitter account? Hasn’t he learned yet?).

Unfortunately, I’m sure this outburst won’t tarnish his reputation and he’ll continue to sell records; showing again, how easily the American public will overlook the destructive tendencies of most celebrities.
