Your Black Celebrity News: Judge Puts the HAMMER down on Chris Brown!
A judge on Tuesday sentenced Chris Brown to five years’ probation and six months’ community labor for the beating of Rihanna and ordered the R&B singer to stay away from his former girlfriend for the next five years.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg told Brown that he could be sent to state prison if he violated any terms of his sentence, including an order to stay 100 yards away from Rihanna unless they’re attending music industry events.
A probation report prepared for Tuesday’s sentencing describes two previous violent incidents. It said the first happened about three months before the February beating while the couple was traveling in Europe; Rihanna slapped Brown during an argument, and he shoved her into a wall. In the second instance, Brown allegedly broke the front and passenger side windows on a Range Rover they were driving while visiting Barbados, Rihanna’s home country. Neither attack was reported, the probation report states.
Finally it’s over! We can stop all the victimization and sympathizing and the Oprahification of the situation. What’s done is done. Chris can survive this horrific event and Rihanna is singing songs about “Running this town tonight.” I’m happy for everybody in this case. The only problem I see for them is “How can they get past 5 years of supervised court celebate intervention?” If you saw Rihanna in your dreams everytime you got “Wood” that would drive you crazy or drive you away. Let’s hope they don’t take the law into their own hands again and become a Bonnie and Clyde? Don’t let those wanting to capitalize from this pain put your butt in jail. Bubba is waiting and nobody will scream for Chris but Chris. It’s over I hope.
