A Break From Make Believe
This week I thought I would take a break from T.V. land drama to post about some real-life drama. As I am sure everyone has already heard, (unless you are deaf, blind, dumb, and living under a rock all at the same time) Chris Brown seems to have gotten himself into a bit of trouble. Now, until now I was one of the few people on the planet who decided to reserve all opinions and comments until I knew with some certainty that there was some truth to the reports I was and still am hearing. Well, with the recent written statement that Chris has released it seems he was doing something on that fateful night (which I’m sure he will never forget) for which he feels “sorry and saddened” for. Of course he did not go into any details about what transpired due to legal ramifications; however I feel really saddened myself over the whole mess. While I have no idea how far or how badly things got I can’t help but think where there’s smoke there’s fire.
I feel that when young adults and pre-teens become superstars they sort of take on becoming a role model of sorts for their young fans. Unfortunately, their younger fan base sees the glamour and popularity and of course they want to idolize them and in some ways even imitate what they see them do. While I do know that most of these superstars rarely asked to be role models, especially when you think of the responsibility that position holds, I feel that is a small price to pay for all the other perks and advantages that comes with their careers. Without knowing what happened again I do not wish to pass judgment; however I am willing to bet my last pair of drawers that Chris Brown wishes he could go back to that night and remember that he is a role model and as such he has much at stake.

I wrote about this same topic and I agree with you completely. I feel bad for Chris Brown because that one bad decision he made that night, may or may not ruin his career. Personally, I have no idea the truth...and neither do many of the blogs, magazines, and television stations, but regardless the entire situation is making him look bad being that he is recognized as a role model to many young individuals. Poor Chris!
ReplyDeleteI agree im guessing it is largely due to the fact that his father was abussive to his mum...i guesse that kinda rubbed off on him it is not that im excussing his behaviour but most of the time we end up being a product of our enviroment....
