In a new MTV special called Chris Brown: The Interview, the singer discusses his fall from grace, and the mixed messages he gets from the public. Get the details here.
In a whirlwind media week for both parties, Chris Brown and Rihanna have both given the public an insightful glimpse into what life has been like for them since the incident. Rihanna gave a highly publicized interview to Diane Sawyer, which was aired on Good Morning America and 20/20. Also this week, MTV wisely invited Brown to sit down and air things out with Sway.
I say ‘wisely’ because regardless of how the public may view him, people want to see how he continues to handle the fall out caused by his actions. MTV knows that following the major airtime the Rihanna interview will get, people will be hungry for a bit of Brown’s side of things.
In the interview, the singer seemed a little more humble than usual. Rather than being too defensive, he seemed to have a sullen acceptance of the reality he faces.
When asked about the public’s perception of him, he said: “I’m confused right now.” He continued:
“I think with my fans, they still love me, they support me, definitely. You have those people who will support you. So it’s kinda like 50/50 for me. I got the people that will come out and support and then the people that don’t wanna see me do anything. They basically want me in jail.”
That’s one thing he has right. Sadly, there are people who have the opinion that if he weren’t famous, the hammer wouldn’t have been dropped on him at all. Of course that’s a bunch of nonsense. If anything, his access to a high-powered team of attorney’s saved him from spending time in an 8×10. Still others felt his sentence was too light, and that he deserved real jail time.
