Chris Brown Dresses as Terrorist for Rihanna’s Halloween Party

Posted byBy Kevin Webb | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Halloween isn’t just for the kids, as a number of celebrities proved while spending the night partying in costume. Chris Brown chose to dress as an Arab terrorist alongside his entourage while attending Rihanna’s Halloween Party, “Ain’t nobody F–king wit my clique!!! #ohb,”he tweeted, linking a picture of his crew in their costumes from Instagram. Of course, some social media users did not find the costume at all humorous, laying into Brown for being culturally insensitive.

Brown’s mother came to her son’s defense however, tweeting “HALLOWEEN IS FOR FUN NOTHING MORE THAN JUST FUN. GET A LIFE PLEASE.”

Other celebs chose much less controversial costumes; Kim Kardashian and Kanye West went as Catwoman and Batman, riding in a Lamborghini Aventador as their batmobile. Kim’s sister Kourtney and her boyfriend Scott Disick completed the bat-family, dressing as Batgirl and Robin. Twilight co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart played it simple, dressing normally while wearing a pair of transparent masks.

Finally, Jessica Simpson and her fiance Eric Johnson celebrated Halloween at home with their daughter Maxwell. Eric donned a Braveheart-inspired outfit, while Jessica showed off her post-pregnancy body win a milk-maid outfit, complete with mini-skirt. Six month old Maxwell was dressed as a chicken in the family photo.

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.
