Chris Brown Responds To Chrissy Teigen Death Threats

Chris Brown has been forced to call out his Team Breezy fans for their death threats to Chrissy Teigen. The Sports Illustrated model and fiance to singer John Legend voiced her two cents on Chris Brown lip synching his Billboard Music Awards performance and paid a hefty price for it.

“Live singing is a helluva thing,” tweeted Chrissy before adding, “Why sing when you can dance?”

That tweet was quickly followed by an onslaught of attacks from Brown’s fans.

“all you do is talk s**t, you need to be raped and murdered.”
“killyoself bitch ur nothing but tall thatswhy you model. your nothing.”
“ditzy dumb ass tramp your mother should’ve aborted you.”

Yes, these are actually words typed by another person. Chrissy responded with this tweet – one of many –

“You guys are too young for this s—. Too f—— young. How you can even form these sentences at someone you don’t know makes me so sad. Don’t throw around the term h-, c—, s—. You’re women. WE ARE WOMEN. and don’t ever think a man can f—— control you. Seriously. this isn’t your f—— job. Stop being psychotic.”

Chris has since responded with this tweet,

“Team Breezy! Lets stop sending death threats! I know y’all bout that life but it’s the wrong message! Ur turning haters into victims!”

He added, “And that only furthers their pointless existence!”

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.
