Chris Brown returned to the Grammy stage after being excluded from performing for two years following his assault on singer Rihanna prior to the 2009 Grammy Awards. Brown performed twice at this years event, and also won the Grammy for Best R&B Album.
Brown’s return to the Grammy stage did not sit well with anti-domestic violence groups, music fans and celebrities.
Country music singer Miranda Lambert tweeted, “Chris Brown twice? I don’t get it. He beat on a girl…Not cool that we act like that didn’t happen. He needs to listen to Gunpowder and lead and be put back in his place. Not at the Grammy’s.” Lambert’s parents ran a shelter for abused women when she was growing up.
Actor Wil Wheaton tweeted, “Everyone who apparently forgot what Chris Brown did to Rhianna (sic) should read the police report on exactly what he did.”
Brown had tweeted his own response. “Hate all u want becuz I got a Grammy now! That’s the ultimate f*** off. I’m back so watch my back as I walk away from all this negativity.” Brown later deleted his tweet from his page, but not before it had already been circulated.
Guess those anger management classes went to waste.
