Chris Brown's bowtie creates a stir on Larry King, Twitter
Twitter
Chris Brown's appearance and fashion sense on "Larry King Live" Wednesday night was the talk of the town -- or at least the Twitterverse.Numerous viewers tuned in to CNN and then took to Twitter to share their thoughts, which ranged from contemptuous and outraged to forgiving and mocking.
Throughout the interview, Brown expressed regret for beating his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in early February and how he wanted to move forward.
"I'm willing to get counseling. I'm willing to learn myself more," he told King. "I'm willing to learn how to control emotions and learn different things."
And despite admitting that he still loved Rihanna, he seemed to be okay with the thought of her moving on with her life and dating other people.
"At the end of the day, we're not together. If she's happy, then that's cool," he said.
As for his own dating life, Brown only commented, "I'm focusing on my career. The only girl I love is all my fans ... Who knows? I'd never say I'm not going to date."
Many of the comments about Brown's interview on Twitter were negative, claiming that he avoided answering questions directly and blamed his actions on ignorance about being in a relationship. Other commenters were more understanding, choosing to accept his humbled position and desire to work on himself.
The bowtie
Still more Twitter commenters, however, were transfixed with Brown's choice of baby blue bowtie and matching sweater. A sampling of tweets:
- "Chris Brown lost more fans for wearin this outfit than he did for hitting Rhianna~~~ HATER"
- "Who else wants to reach into the tv and yank that bow-tie off of chris brown?"
- "Is the bow tie chris brown has on his stylist attempt to make him look innocent or just payback for what he did to rihanna."
- "Why the f*** is Chris brown wearin a bowtie I feel like he gonna convert to Islam any minute and start sellin bean pie"
- "Chris Brown thought that dressing like a black howdie doodie [sic] on this interview was gonna get him off....lmfaooooooooooooo"
In fact, immediately after the interview, one ambitious Twitter user created a new account, chrsbrwnsbowtie, complete with tweets from the bowtie itself, which is black on its Twitter page.
"you ask why im black on twitter and blue on tv? i belong to chris brown...do the math...smh," explains the bowtie in a post.
A mere two hours after chrsbrwnsbowtie's first post, it had 650 followers.
UPDATE: #chrisbrownsbowtie has been one of the top trending topics on Twitter for more than 12 hours after Brown's interview ended.

my parents had a dysfunctional relationship. i'm always amazed how everyone immediately takes the woman's side. there are two sides. at least take the time to hear them. this was a relationship where rhianna was as much a fighter, if not more, than chris. based on seeing wounds on women hit by men, there will always be a question how much of her wounds came from chris fighting her off. they both need help, and for us to scream for chris to get help while babying rhianna's angry temperament does her no good.
i find him more believable than her at this point, though, because he's manned up.
Dum-dum-dee-dum, dum-dum-dee-dum-dum, I'M DISTURBING-A!
I WAITED A WHILE BEFORE MAKING MY OWN STATEMENT ABOUT THE WHOLE CHRIS BROWN AND RIHANNA SITUATION. NOW THAT CHRIS HAS SPOKEN I FEEL ITS ONLY RIGHT I SPEAK OUT BEING THAT I HAVE A MOTHER WHO ALLOWED ABUSE FOR 16 YEARS OF MY LIFE. NEVER IS IT OK FOR A MAN TO PLACE HIS HANDS ON A WOMEN IN ANY VIOLENT WAY, I WILL REPEAT NEVER IS IT OK FOR A MAN TO PLACE HIS HANDS ON A WOMEN IN ANY VIOLENT WAY. I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR CHRIS BROWN AS A MUSICIAN. HE'S VERY TALENTED AND I FEEL I NEED TO SEE HIM DUE A LOT MORE AFTER THIS INCIDENT THAT HAS TAKING PLACE A LOT OF YOUNG KIDS LOOK UP TO HIM AND ARE IN SIMILAR SITUATION AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THE ABUSE, I WAS ONE OF THEM. SOME TYPE OF ORGANIZATION SHOULD BE BELT ON BEHALF OF CHRIS BROWN. I DON'T SEE HIM AS BEEN A THUG OR A ABUSER HE'S YOUNG AND HUMAN WE MAKE MISTAKES AND THATS THE MOST HUMBLE THING I HAVE HEARD FROM HIM SINCE THIS ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE. “CHRIS I FOR GIVE YOU” AS A FAN, A BROTHER, AND FORMER CHILD OF ABUSE “ I FOR GIVE YOU” AND I KNOW YOU SOMETIME FEEL YOU NEED TO PORTRAY THE HOOD IMAGE TO GET YOUR RESPECT BUT ALL THAT WILL COME JUST BE YOU AND STAY HUMBLE BEST ADVISE FOR YOUR TWIN LOVE YOU MAN
SIGNING OUT L . DAVIS
As a woman who has survived abuse it amazes how gullible the public is they fall for the media trap every time. Here is another young black man being brutalized for being a human being. I know what it is like to have someone go upside my head but this was bad choices on my part I survived one thing I have learned is there is always two sides to every story. People use to say leave him you deserve better he should not put his hands on you. What most did not know is that I brought a lot of that abuse on myself by antagonizing him throwing things at him hitting on him all the while I was in the wrong. So I know what abuse is all about. Chris is a young man who may have been trying to keep someone off of him yes ladies it happens every abuser is not always in the wrong we ladies do somethings that are not right we should keep our hands to ourselves if we do not want them putting their hands on us. So get off of Chris's back he made a mistake help him stop trying to punish him like he has killed someone. THERE IS ALWAYS TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY ALWAYS WHAT WAS RHIANNA'S PART IN THIS CIRCUS?
Chris Brown fell under the spell of The Crasher Squirrel Influence, and didn't know the trend was over. See twitpic link for proof.

for truth about the tie.
I've heard the argument that Chris Brown was just defending himself.
It's a stupid argument.
If Rihanna were really attacking Chris Brown, and if she really were a threat, HE WOULD'VE COME OUT OF IT WITH WOUNDS TOO.
Guess what. He didn't. Baby smooth skin.
And what kind of delusional woman-hating woman can look at Chris and Rihanna and really think she could be a physical threat to him? Yall are making excuses to victimise the victim. Again.
It's not only the bow tie, it's the whole outfit, the blue polo shirt on white. With his shaved head and earrings, he looks like a gangsta dressed like a little kid from an old Disney movie. Who came up with this stupid PR idea, the mother? Perhaps that's why he ends up beating women.
I agree. I'm beginning to believe more and more that she was the instigator at this point and should be held accountable and he's taking all the rap.
The bowtie wass undoubtably hillarious...!!
