Feb 12 2009Chris Brown's stepfather denies hitting his mother

Chris Brown's stepfather Donnelle Hawkins denies he ever hit his wife Joyce Brown Hawkins despite Chris's claims to the contrary. In an interview with OK! Magazine, Donelle says he doesn't want to be a scapegoat for his step-son's actions:

"I never once raised my hand to his mother," Donnelle says. "It just never happened."
"I believe that Chris is making these allegations because it is a way of not accepting responsibility of his own actions. Somebody has to be at fault, the scapegoat, and who else but me?" says Donnelle. "He blames me for taking his mom away from his dad, even though it didn't happen like that. Whatever issues he has, whether he thinks they come from me or not, he needs to get help for, get counseling."

Okay, sure, that sounds plausible. Except for one small detail:

Donnelle, who is blind after accidentally shooting himself in the eye during an argument with Joyce Brown Hawkins, says Chris is blaming the wrong person.

So, let me see if I got this straight: You didn't beat Chris Brown's mother, you just argued with her. While holding a gun. Wow. Somebody should name a church after this guy because, clearly, there's been a terrible misunderstanding. There was no abuse, just armed weapons. Are you embarrassed? I'm embarrassed.

I'll be the FIRST to beat all you worthless bitches

first!

first!

first!

first!

Black people in the united states are trash, and will always be trash. They should make examples of these brain dead fools and hang them.

Sounds about right. Let the lovers get back together.

to b: then leave the US then if you are so racist. If not then dig a hole and crawl into it you worthless piece of scum...

first!

never raised a hand to her. a .38 maybe, but never my hand.

Look at the way she's digging her fingernails into his neck. Fuckin bitch is askin for it.

Tell him Cindy girl. Besides...what's one man's trash is another man's treasure.

So from the perspective of this story, Chris has already achieved more than his folks (successfully harming the OTHER person).

this isn't a black and white issue. Only fucktards turn it into a race thing. It is a "man" beating up a woman issue. If any woman ever deserved to get beat it was my mother but my father never raised a hand to her. No one should be able to lay their hands on another person other than reasons of affection. End of story. This guy is a douche and no matter what she did, he should never have put his hands on her. No one deserves to be treated like that. Ever.

fucking overkill of these twos bullshit fight. He's a douche and we all know it. If this has happened to her before then she deserves whatever she gets if she stays with him. Now if she had the balls to leave him the first time it happened then I would feel sorry for her, but she keeps instigating the situation by going back to this super fucking ugly talentless fag.......who the fuck is he anyways???

#14 - nobody wants to hear from the child of a real cunt.

what a douche bag...chris brown needs to choke on a dick

So that's her face after she was beaten, right? Because...damn.

OMG... There's the herpes!!!! Right there!!!!!!

OMG... There's the herpes!!!! Right there!!!!!!

Fuck all the touchy-feely people preaching about this. There are *lots* of people who deserve to be hit.

One other detail is that Chris made the statements about his stepfather WAY before this incident. What does he think that Chris is clairvoyant? Dumbass! Anyway whatever happened I think Chris and Rhianna's personal life should stay that way-personal, it's wrong that his music is being stopped. Chris is talented. I'm not saying he is right but if I fought with someone at home should I lose my job???? I feel for both of them, innocent until proven guilty I thought, not in the media.

I read that Rhianna had become best friends with Chris' stepfather so it's entirely possible she hit herself.

You have to use the appropriate standard. Yes, Chris Brown's stepfather hit Chris' mom. Yes, the domestic violence was so bad that the only reason his mom is alive is that his stepfather is the worst shot ever. But - and this is the key point - the stepfather was physically present in the family home, a landmark achievement for black men. So let's not be negative about this story. Baby steps, people, baby steps.

Spenser Pratt, Nick Hogan and Chris Angel are three women that I think it would be OK to slap around.

Brock - Brooke? - Hogan is a guy who should be hit, although it would be very risky.

We called to get a followup on this but there had been a fight and the stepfather had strangled himself accidentally with a telephone cord.

Make yo momma proud Chris. Beat her ass as well.

Actually 6 is right. I have nothing against Africans. But African-Americans are scum.

Don't want to get smacked up,..don't date a rapper,..they're all uneducated scumbags who do drugs and beat women,....

It's like saying "I didn't want to get wet so I jumped in the ocean" Duh...

AMEN #21 !!! I couldn't agree more. ...Can we start with you?

HOLY CRAP I just checked out Rhianna's music for the first time....it's horribly pathetic, I can't believe people are really into this shit....you people are very, very sad!!

ALL OF YOU. JUST LEAVE CHRIS BROWN ALONE!?!?!?

Rhianna is your typical black woman. All mouth and attitude. Chris Brown is your typical black boy. All mouth and attitude. Put them together and violence is the only outcome. The only positive is that the violence is toward each other and not at some innocent, law abiding, honest, god-fearing white person.

I love girls who look like neanderthals.

I'd hit her too.

With an iron bar

Poor people! Insist in violence in this days is just futile! Surrender you all!

yo Sam we not French.

#34 is right, y'all. Chris should have drank too much, wrecked his car speeding, and caused a massive, gaping head wound that left her brain dead for the rest of her life. Oh wait.

Wow, this picture, they look like a new fresher, younger Bobby and Whitney

nice cold sores, RiRi

Thanks stupid crackas! Because you supported me all these years and made me ten million times richer than any of your trailer asses I can afford the best defense team known to man. Thanks to your mothers, daughters, sisters, and other milky counterparts I won't serve a day in jail. Goodluck banging your sheep bitches. See ya on MTV honkeys,

Oh, I never would have guessed that his STEP-FATHER beat his mother, too.
This is just so typical.
And no, not typical of black people.
Typical of Americans in general.

Smack dat ho Buckwheat!

She looks like she has Downs Syndrome. She an ugly nlgga.

JUST STOP TALKING HIM AROUND.
Just sentence & end it!!

Never heard of this Chris Brown clown till he beat Rihanna's ass. Just another lame R&B fake ass rapper wannabe. Now the dude's playing the "deny everything" game, deflecting blame on others and refusing to take responsibility for his villainous self.

They should cut off Chris Brown's hands. Doesn't matter if his stepdad beat his mom's ass he's dirt who should have his hands severed, like all wife beaters. Do that and domestic violence will cease, fixing a major problem in America. No need for thank yous, kids, just trying to help solve the world's problems.

PS: Da Man has a steak knife dripping gravy Chris Brown it's time to step up to this!

Lori #22 your excuse sounds like that of a battered woman who is codependent on a wife beater and willingly absorbs multiple ass whuppings. Such news should not be kept in secret. Domestic violence should be widely reported, the perpetrators outed, their hands chopped off and faces punched in with their own severed hands.

PS: Ewww there's a herpes sore on Rihanna's lip she is not hot!

an allegedly real video about rihanna before the incident

I learned this news in another place. A hot debate heats up at Richromances.com. Let us check what pinions other celebrities and wealthy guys' opinions are about this story.

Whitey sure love gettin in a man's business. This is a matter between a man and a woman you don't know what she did to upset him. Jealous to see a young black man make it so young? Eat your hearts out! Go get a life. Leave our young men alone your's have enough problems.
t

actually urs have more probs!!

They should get back together!

This is going to make great entertainment. Can you see it: she goes back to him, gets knocked up, gets slapped around some more, leaves, goes back, he punches her in the stomach at 8.5 months, she delivers a Nadya Suleman type child, he apologizes, she goes back, he beats her because his dinner is not ready, he apologizes, Sharpton supports them, she goes back, another beating, when finally she burns down their trailer with him in it.

Moral of the story: girls, is a man beats you - leave and never go back. Regardless of how many shitheads excuse the criminal, cowardly behavior.

The ape class does not have the ability to control their emotions. This is what seperates them from humans. They act mainly on instinct. The negro ape is a scavenger, which means it takes what it needs to survive from others that worked for it. This can be seen in most ecosystems, as there are always scavengers, such as hyena's, remora's, etc.....and in urban settings, the negro ape steals, pillages, rapes, murders, etc... from the white man, and in recent years, guilty white liberals have simply started giving the apes what they need to survive, all while the ape systematically decemated and destroyed every urban inner-city in the country. The country is being over run by these apes, and their ability to spontaneously reproduce has them growing in even more alarming numbers. It seems that AIDS and the Sickle Cell are not doing the job they were designed for, so something else has to be done to stop this plague on humanity.....

Hey, Black Dragon, how about instead of complaining about white people airing your "dirty laundry", why not quit making so much dirty laundry to begin with?!

Well I guess NOW is gonna have to rescind its Man of the Year award to Chris Brown...

This is the end result of liberalism and PC. George Bush was a liberal in sheeps clothing and now Barry the magic negro will finish us off and turn us into the Socialist States of America.

The dude's name is Donnelle?

#61 - I didn't here the right wing nuts saying a thing about W when he was misunderstimating the economy except "well he kept us safe..." Just not from our own greed, I suppose...

Wats that on her lip...gross

Damn - I was with him until that last "gun-wielding" bit -- but nonetheless -- Chris needs to take responsibility for his own life and actions -- not seek sympathy for problems in his youth. He beat on his girlfriend. He choked her. Allegedly. He did these things - not his dad.

RichPort, That is about the only thing GWB did right. He did nothing to secure the borders and let every illegal in that wanted to come, put our Border Patrol agents in jail for doing their job, didn't say a peep when Barny Frank started the whole home loan debacle (which pretty much put us on this road) and abandoned the free market economy which has worked pretty well for the past 200 years.

The Government is never the answer to anything. There is not one Gov agancy that runs efficantly.

I'd dispute putting the onus on Barney Frank rather than financial institutions that saw fit to leverage at 30 to 1 and create untested and unregulated financial tools for short term wealth despite internal memos stating the extreme risk likely, but I will certainly agree that the argument can be made convincingly in either direction. That said, you forgot to mention the treasure trove of material W gave to comedians. Where were you conservatives when Bush was tripling the deficit?

This whole economic downturn is the result of pc liberals who forced banks to give high risk mortgages to minorities who had no ability to pay. The left decided home ownership was a "right" instead of something you have to work and save for. Not only that, the minorities were too stupid to take fixed mortgages and took 3-year ARM's and then got forclosed on when they couldn't pay off the higher interest. That and they spend all their money on Fast & Furious Cars and gangsta clothes anyway.

#68 - Great regurgitation. Rush would be proud. Reality Check: most ARMs went to caucasians. And wasn't it YOUR boy W who pushed the "ownership society". I swear you clowns can't get your heroes' lies straight. At least TKT has a point to make... But thanks for playing.

#68 has pretty much got it right. I've been a realtor for the past 10 years and have seen buyers get loans with no money down and, with increasing frequency, not even cash for their closing costs. Some even got loans in excess of all costs - and walked away from the table with a check! And once this bandwagon got rolling it wasn't just limited to minorities. Well now all the chickens have come home to roost.

Is that Will Smith rapping his hand around Chris Brown?

I didnt know they were dating.

#69

Wrong! It was actually a plan implemented by consumate failure Jimmy Carter back in the 70's, and then regurgitated by the Clinton's in the 90's. Bush had nothing to do with it. It's the "entitlement" mentality that pc libs have brainwashed all you Obomites with that led to this fiasco. Although I can't believe I'm saying this, but at least the Clinton's made a modest effort to conceal their corrupt dealings, this Monkey in the White House now is definately transparent, everyone he appoints is a criminal, and every move he makes is dripping with corrupt Chicago political scandal....

@13 Made me laugh..

The world laughs at coons.

The reason he hit her is because she's a Nagger. His mom was a Nagger too, makes perfect sense. Nobody likes Naggers.

lol @ all the racist white internet warriors.

Mannnnnn... you insecure losers sound like a bunch of black guys jilted your spineless homo asses

I don't think criticizing and laughing at typical negro behavior is racist. We laugh to compensate for our frustration of having to deal with their inability to function like human beings.

I have AIDS

Really it doesn't seem like a race issue, Just seems like Men like you in general black or white can be a bunch of pigs. I think its a Men issue. Ignorant male ego causing hate and discontent. Evolve or DIE...Please

WHATEVER," Da woman" who do you think you are? D

WHATEVER, Dr Phil. "Da woman" sounds like a narcassistic serial killing FREAK! Good philosophy solving ALLEGED violence with violence. Yeah you sound stable lol. Maybe you should get off the internet and take some lithium.
FUCKTARD!!!!

Go CHRIS BROWN! I'm not even a fan of his.
I think Gay Z and Kuntye West are paying people to believed that Chris Brown beat Rihanna so her herpes infested lip can pass as a "my boyfriend punched me in da face lol"

On a more serious note, I love how Rihanna is looked at as the martyr. I bet the cunt hit him too but it didn't matter because she's a woman and gives women a bad name, making us feel like the "weaker sex". Women can defend themselves. RAWR CAVEMAN strength isn't the only kind of strength there is. Those women who beaten up, allow it to happen like dumb bitches. Sorry but sympathy is something I find insulting to give to someone and wouldn't give it to this cunt.

They look kind of trashy in that photo.

And by kind of, I mean pretty damn.

A man posted a story about her at ^^^m i l l i o n a i r e l o v e s. c o m^^^forum, he said he was her boy friend many years ago when both of them were young, the most important is: He was her first man!! I am stuned!!!
