Chris Brown Checks Into Rehab For Anger Management

Chris Brown seeks anger management help Chris Brown is finally seeking help as he checked in to a rehab facility for anger management issues. Meanwhile, his attorney may need to go to the rehab center as well after calling a woman a “hater hoe” on Twitter.

It looks like Brown is finally trying to get help for his problems, or he is just trying to convince the courts that he doesn’t need to spend any time in jail.

He was dropped off at the facility by his longtime attorney Mark Geragos, although he was not the attorney who represented the R&B bad boy in court Monday.

“His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point,” one rep for the singer told E! News.

After Brown was charged with felony assault, which was later reduced to a misdemeanor charge, the LA Country Probation Department began investigating whether or not Brown had officially violated his probation.

The alleged victim in the assault accused Brown of punching him in the face after he tried to join in on a picture that Brown was taking with two young women who were believed to be the man’s friends.

While Rihanna’s ex-lover is due back in court in Washington, D.C. later this month, whether or not he is found guilty of the assault won’t determine if the LA probation department will let him off the hook also.

To make matters worse for Team Breezy, his possible sentence for violation of his probation is far worse than the sentence he is facing for the alleged assault.

If found guilty of the assault, Brown will face up to 180 days in jail along with some hefty fines.

If found guilty of violating his probation, he will face up to four years behind bars, which may explain why he was suddenly so eager to get anger management help.

Chris Brown seeks anger management help Seeking anger management probably wouldn’t look too good in the assault case, but as far as the LA probation department is concerned, it could give the appearance that Brown is really trying to change and work on the issues that keep landing him in hot water.

Unfortunately, sources are claiming that officials will more than likely find Brown guilty of violating probation, but big stars do manage to wiggle their way out of serving full sentences all the time.

If the tatted-up singer does get out of this one, he certainly won’t have Geragos to thank for it as the attorney took to Twitter and revealed to the masses that he has been spending way too much time with Chris.

When one woman tweeted about the Chris Brown fiasco and claimed that he needed to “be put in jail and beat up a few times or three,” Geragos quickly responded with the hashtag “#haterhoe.”

It was a very Chris Brown-like move to make, although Geragos didn’t delete the tweet. Well, not yet anyway.

In the midst of the all the legal drama in his life, it was only natural that Brown pulled his side chick back on the field.

We haven’t seen much from Karrueche and Chris as a couple lately, but whenever the young crooner gets into hot water he pulls his wannabe model girl toy off the shelf and dusts her off for the sake of his own comfort.

Karrueche is obviously not catching on to the game as she proudly posted a picture of herself planting a huge kiss on Breezy along with a caption reading, “Always & Forever.”

It will be interesting to see how their relationship handles a little bit of jail time, if Chris finds himself behind bars for a while –  although we’re still wishing both of them the very best.

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.
