Chris Brown Crashes Car Trying to Escape Paparazzi

Chris Brown has finally done the same thing to his Porsche that he did to his life – he wrecked it. Chris crashed the car trying to escape some overly aggressive paparazzi on his way to a charity event.

While we don’t usually pass up any chance to tear Brown apart for doing something stupid, the car crash actually wasn’t his fault and for once we feel kind of bad for Breezy (we just have a weird way of showing it).

After faking the community service he was supposed to do after the Rihanna incident in 2009, Brown was finally on his way to do some good when the paparazzi just took things way too far.

While on his way to the Debbie Allen Dance Academy to attend a special event for his Symphonic Love charity, a car suddenly cut him off while photos hopped out to snap pictures of him.

In a desperate attempt to get away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi, he threw his Porsche in reverse and backed down a side ally where he was cut off once again by another car full of photogs.

In the midst of all the chaos the “Don’t Judge Me” singer managed to demolish the front of his Porsche and it had to be towed away – giving the paparazzi a rather unexpected story to cover.

Brown’s rep revealed that he was indeed in the car by himself when the crash happened and he also pointed out that the camera men “aggressively approached” Chris’s vehicle.

While his luxurious ride may be smashed up, Rihanna’s lover “is okay.”

We do understand that the job of the paparazzi is to get pictures of our favorite celebrities and share the juicy entertainment gossip with adoring (or not-so adoring) fans, but when do we say enough is enough?

When it gets to the point where we’re showing Chris sympathy, you know things have gotten out of hand.

These aggressive cameramen need to figure out how to do their job without going beyond their boundaries because blocking someone into an ally with your cars is just ridiculous.

In fact, if they don’t get it together soon we’re going to give Kanye West permission to unleash his fury on their cameras again.

Anyway, it’s definitely been a rough couple of weeks of the R&B bad boy, but this may have been just what he needed to see which of his two girlfriends really had his back.

RiRi has been standing by his side faithfully and even backed him up when he appeared in court for the community service fraud accusations.

It looks like he is finally getting the hint too, because Karrueche Tran has been slowly sliding out of the picture and back into the deep dark realm of being irrelevant while the “Don’t Wake Me” crooner was caught at Beyonce and Jay-Z’s pre-Grammy brunch with the Bajan beauty.

No word out yet on how Jay-Z felt about the reunion at the brunch or if he has actually forgiven Rihanna’s boyfriend-ish friend.

 

 

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
