Chris Brown Explains Photo of Hands Wrapped Around Woman’s Neck

Image obtained by TMZ

Chris Brown is under attack after a sketchy photo was released. Last weekend during Ultra Music Festival, Chris Brown rented a home in Miami where he threw a party with friends. In pictures taken from the party, Brown is photoed with his hands wrapped around a girl’s neck.  Although in the picture it appears another woman is trying to rescue the mystery woman from Brown’s grip, Brown’s attorney told TMZ the two were just playing around. “She’s a friend. It’s obviously playful as she confirmed. Whoever invaded their privacy will be held accountable,” said Chris’ lawyer, Mark Geragos. But fans didn’t believe it.

“A woman trying to stop him from choking another? Doesn’t look like horseplay to me,” one person wrote.

“after what he been through he definitely shouldn’t play like that haha,” said another.

“Sounds like he’s guilty to me,” another person said.

The “Freaky Friday” singer set the record straight on his Instagram. “THANKS for all the publicity today. Y’all know damn well I ain’t going down that road. There is no need to defend myself on the matter.” He continued, “END of discussion. LOVE ❤” Then the singer promoted his tour and said, “😁❤ TOUR TICKETS AVAILABLE (AND BY THE WAY, THATS LITTLE DICKY)😂”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
