Chris Brown says stepfather beat him and his mother
Chris Brown is, in some ways, an unlikely person to be accused of domestic violence.
He's spoken openly about his alleged experiences with abuse as a child at the hands of his stepfather.
In 2007, Brown admitted in an interview with U.S. magazine Giant, his family had been abused by his stepfather.
"He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, 'I'm just gonna go crazy on him one day....' I hate him to this day."
And he told talk show hostess Tyra Banks, on her show, that his childhood abuse experience had made him respectful of women:
"It affected me ... especially toward women, I treat them differently. Because I don't want to go through the same thing or put a woman through the same thing that that person put my mom through."
However, some mental experts claim that it's not uncommon for victims of abuse to have repetition compulsion as a means of dealing with buried emotions caused by the earlier abuse.
What do you think? If you are a man, did you experience abuse as a child?
Did you see your father or a male member of the household physically abuse your mother?
Has it impacted your relationships with women as an adult?

yo i sory but i don't allow u to hit a women
I don't care if he was hit. He should remember how HE felt when he and his mom were hit and now he is putting Rihanna through all this. Go to therapy, psycho!!!
This is poppycock. Pure speculation about what happened. I'm willing to sit out judgment before all the facts come out. Another website is reporting that SHE went crazy on HIM because he wanted to end the relationship.
thats sad who whould beat someone that aint ur real son if i was chris brown and my stepdad was beating me and my mom i whould tell my mom we need to leave or call the cops
Person 1: That was kinda of new from you since of all the troubles you had before....im real surprised x.x;
Person 2: That was kinda immature from you and alotta ppl are confused about this.
I just wanted to say that I believe that Chris Brown would be that type of person it is always the guys that have an inncocent look that feel they can get away with things!!! Until they get caught up
Is it true that she gave him herpes?
I heard that he went crazy because she gave him Genital Herpes......shoot if I were him i would went crazy to..but i wouldn't have hot her.....!
I think that we all need to mind our own buisness.. I mean if they weren't famous nobody would even care who hit who or why. I mean omg R.Kelly slept with 15 yr. old girls and M.J. molested kids and nobody made anywhere as big a deal about them. These kids are young and need to get the benefit of the doubt.
