Chris Brown Accused of Holding Woman at Gunpoint
Chris Brown is one of those artists who always seem to be in the media for the wrong reasons.
If you recall, Chris was arrested in 2009 for roughing up Rihanna. That was back when the two of them were a thing.
The relationship completely broke down after that, but they got back together in 2013, with Rihanna claiming that no one really knew what was going on in their relationship.
The backlash to him assaulting Rihanna has echoed through his career ever since and it’s now clear as that he is not as reformed as he would like the world to believe.
He talks a good game, but his behavior doesn’t back up that he’s reformed.
We’re now hearing that he is the sole suspect in a criminal assault that took place in the early hours of August 30, 2016.
Brown was allegedly in a home in L.A with a woman when an argument broke out.
Things got very sinister when Chris thought it was okay to wave a gun at the unnamed woman.
The woman then called the cops and reported the crime.
It really was only a matter of time before something like this happened. Brown is known for being pretty hot-headed.
He has no compunction with flying off the handle if the opportunity arises.
Remember how crazy he got after a 2011 interview on Good Morning America?
He was allegedly violent in his dressing room during a commercial break and left the studio shirtless.
It’s crazy to think that Chris actually thought Rihanna wouldn’t be a hot topic in the interview.
Producers seek good ratings, so they would have been silly to not take the opportunity to get the goodies.
That’s kind of how it works in that field, so him getting crazy was a bit much.
Now, it makes us wonder about what could be next for the once promising star.
Can his reputation really take any more bad press?
We’ll find out soon enough.
What do you think about all of this?

Ryan Lochte: Sorry I Twisted The Truth About Getting Robbed At Gunpoint!
Ryan Lochte issued a statement today addressing the story that he and his teammates were held at gunpoint on August 14th.
Unfortunately, Lochte and the four other American swimmers – Jimmy Feigen, Jack Conger, and Gunnar Bentz – fabricated a story that simply didn’t make sense.
And while Lochte was able to escape interrogation (he landed back home in the US as Rio officials began their investigation), his teammates were not so lucky.
Conger and Bentz were taken off a plane that was leaving the country, while as of press time, Feigen’s passport has not yet been returned. In fact, he has to pay nearly $ 11,000 to avoid charges.
Just under an hour ago, Lochte explained himself via a statement on Instagram.
Though he did not admit that he lied, he apologized for letting this whole ordeal spin wildly out of control.
I want to apologize for my behavior last weekend — for not being more careful and candid in how I described the events of that early morning and for my role in taking the focus away from the many athletes fulfilling their dreams of participating in the Olympics.
I waited to share these thoughts until it was confirmed that the legal situation was addressed and it was clear that my teammates would be arriving home safely.
It’s traumatic to be out late with your friends in a foreign country – with a language barrier – and have a stranger point a gun at you and demand money to let you leave, but regardless of the behavior of anyone else that night, I should have been much more responsible in how I handled myself and for that I am sorry to my teammates, my fans, my fellow competitors, my sponsors, and the hosts of this great event.
I am very proud to represent my country in Olympic competition and this was a situation that could and should have been avoided. I accept responsibility for my role in this happening and have learned from valuable lessons.
I am grateful for my USA Swimming teammates and the USOC, and appreciate all of the efforts of the IOC, the Rio ’16 Host Committee, and the people of Brazil who welcomed us to Rio and worked so hard to make sure that these Olympic Games provided a lifetime of great new memories.
There has already been too much said and too many valuable resources dedicated to what happened last weekend, so I hope we spend our time celebrating the great stories and performances of these Games and look ahead to celebrating future successes.
This is a case of too little, too late for many American fans, who were charmed by Lochte’s goofball antics up until this point.
Now he’s nothing more than some overhyped athlete that will do just about anything to avoid being held accountable for his actions.

Ryan Lochte, 3 Olympians Robbed at Gunpoint in Rio
Ryan Lochte has confirmed that he and three other members of the United States Swim Team were robbed this morning in Rio de Janeiro.
The four swimmers – a group that also included Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen – were in a taxi headed for the Olympic Village when the incident occurred, according the the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Patrick Sandusky, a spokesman for the organization, explained what happened via the following statement:
“According to four members of the U.S. Olympic Swimming Team, they left France House early Sunday morning in a taxi headed for the Olympic Village.
“Their taxi was stopped by individuals posing as armed police officers who demanded the athletes’ money and other personal belongings.”
Concluded Sandusky:
“All four athletes are safe and cooperating with authorities.”
Lochte’s mother, Ileana Lochte, also spoke to USA Today of the incident.
“I think they’re all shaken up. There were a few of them,” she told the newspaper. “No, they were just, they just took their wallets and basically that was it.”
A 12-time Olympic medalist, Lochte won one gold medal during the Rio Games.
He wrapped up his 2016 Olympic experience on Thursday night.
Lochte himself, meanwhile, described the robbery to NBC on Sunday afternoon.
“We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing just a police badge and they pulled us over.
“They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground – they got down on the ground.
“I refused, I was like we didn’t do anything wrong, so – I’m not getting down on the ground.
“And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, ‘Get down,’ and I put my hands up, I was like ‘whatever.’
“He took our money, he took my wallet – he left my cell phone, he left my credentials.”
Damn. Scary stuff.
Police officials have told NBC News they weren’t contacted about the incident, but they are available to help the athletes if necessary.
When news of the robbery first hit, an IOC spokesperson denied that it took place.
This spokesperson has since acknowledged that it took place, claiming he didn’t have pertinent information upon first making the denial.
In a recent interview with E! News, the 32-year-old said he needed a break from swimming.
He said he was unsure if he would complete four years from now in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
“Going in day in and day out just beating up your body, it takes a toll. Being at the age I am now, it’s definitely time that I need a break, but I can’t say it’s over,” he said.
Taking advantage of his fame after the 2012 Olympics Games in London, Lochte signed on for What Would Ryan Lochte Do?.
This E! reality series, which chronicled life for Ryan Lochte as the single and somewhat goofy Ryan Lochte, lasted just one season.
We wish Lochte well.
