Usher is a Pussy

Filed under: Rihanna > Wacky, Tacky & True > Usher > Chris Brown

chrisusher1.jpg

On Tuesday, we applauded R&B crooner Usher when he said he was 'disappointed' in the pix of Chris Brown sunbathing and jet skiing in Miami because they made Beat Her Down look like an unremorseful prick.

Well, Usher is now taking his comments back!

WTF happened? Did Chris and his heavies threaten him too?

So weak!

Here's the 'take back' statement Usher's camp issued on Tuesday night:

"The comments made during a recent recording session amongst friends were taken out of context and blown out of proportion. I apologize on behalf of myself and my friends if anyone was offended. The intentions were not to pass judgment and we meant no harm. I respect and wish the best for all parties involved."

Disgusting!

Be a man and stand by your statements!

Chris Brown does not deserve any "kindness." He needs help, therapy and jail time!

    I want to kick his ass………..



  2. 2

    usher should have not taking what he said back it was the truth



  3. 3

    I dunno perez… Maybe they have a reason.
    Like.. the actualy KNOW these people and know more about the situation than you???
    Shut up already.



  4. 4

    chris brown's people seem to have everyone running scared……why? Don't listen to his music any more, don't buy anything, don't buy into the "fix". He hit his girlfriend, I don't know why anyone would stand by that or apologize to that.

    Your sad Usher….seriously sad. I won't buy your next CD…maybe i'll illegally download it…but definitely not buy it.



  6. 6

    I hate Chris Brown, throw him in jail already!



  7. 7

    That is really lame. I had just read the other article not evne a few minutes ago.

    It is so unreal how unwilling people are to step up and be judged for what the believe.

    I can at least say that for you Perez that has not been an issue to date



  8. 8

    At least Usher knows how to be respectful of a situation. Everyone needs to stop acting like they know the details of what happened. Leave it alone.

    Re: harrybalsac – Haaaaaaaaaa…its about time….
    Welcome back…. did you play with the dice????
    Fucking dead around here……..



  12. 12

    YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!! WHY WON'T ANYONE SPEAK OUT?!! I AM SO DISGUSTED WITH THIS MESS!



  13. 13

    agreed with perez!

    ahah have you seen all the GOSSIP mags out now
    on the cover ones like " was rihanna preggers?!"

    on another "it happened a second time" (something like that)

    keep in mind i never read the article. just saw the covers.

    they sure know how to make $$$ off this. and when i get bored enough i'll prob pick one up.maybe.



  14. 14

    this whole thing is gross. where's jay-z, her 'big brother'? i'm boycotting all of the characters involved. when chris 'beat her down' kills her, or someone else, then it'll be interesting to see what these idiots say then.



  15. 15

    I'll tear his face off!!

    Re: MonaLisa – Short of Rihanna trying to stab Chris with a knife or shoot him (which obviously didn't happen) there is NO excuse for his actions!!!
    Now i'm not one of these people who is out for his blood…He is 19 and I hate to think his whole life should be defined by this one incident….but for awhile he needs to suffer. He can not just walk away from this unscathed….not just for the publics sake and the bad example that would set….but for his own sake. He needs to go on Larry King Live and admit what he did and give a "genuine apology". He needs to go to court and plead guilty….and not try to get away with anything. He needs to do public service announcements telling his fans that he was wrong. He needs to do charity work. He needs to act humble for awhile and not give out the perception that he isn't taking these charges seriously.
    The public will forgive him in time if he does these things….If not….he's fucked…because the minority supporting him now won't be able to buy enough of his music to keep him in the business.
    Usher telling Chris to "show some remorse and get off the jet ski" was GREAT advice….advice he should not have taken back….and advice he should have gotten from the man he's paying to do damage control for him.



  18. 18

    That's right punkass take it back



  19. 19

    I am really disappointed that Usher is taking it back. Wow. I had all respect for him now its gone.



  20. 20

    He is s first-time offende. He is just a child! He doesn't need jail time! What he DOES need is a good, vicious, swift beat down of his own and THAT will give him a new appreciation for what he has done.



  21. 21

    Re: Long Dong Connery – Just some slots on house money, did ok.Re: Sensitivity – That's a further south Hoss.



  22. 22

    F*ck Chris Brown & F*ck Rihanna!

    He's a dumbass and and she's, clearly, a dumb b*tch! (They deserve each other)

    What a TOTAL waste!!!!

    Usher should stick to his guns and stop 'playing nice' with women beaters!!



  23. 23

    CHRIS beat here down BROWN really needs to go jail hes a fucking loooser



  24. 24

    Re: crimzoidRe: crimzoid – ummm its beacuse of people like you that shit like this is seen as acceptable behaivor so no why dont you shut up already!



  25. 25

    stop being disgusting perez. usher knows these people more than you do. maybe something was explained to him or he found out what was going on down in miami. no one knows what was going on down there other than brown and rhianni were staying at what his name's mansion. who knows who else was there-sounds like usher found out, not you, and his original thoughts were wrong. brown is not in a position to threaten others right now, he is a 19yo who is under a microscope right now, more like people are in a position to threaten him. perez, you and other sites have to stop until brown and rhianna speak or people close to them speak -and not the unnamed close friends.



  26. 26

    At this point. everyone needs to stop making "statements". Rihanna and C.B. are back together (for now). People giving their "opinions" are really just looking for publicity.



  27. 27

    Oh shut up about this damn story already. It happened, it's going to court, and he should be innocent until proven guilty.
    .
    Who cares what celebrities say about anything anyway? Their opinions are not more educated or qualified than anyone else's, they just have more options for getting it out there.



  28. 28

    Re: harrybalsac – when I was born I was the size of a hoss! Is that place still open ?



  29. 29

    Perez is right Usher…Be a FUCKING Man and stand for something bigger than your pocketbook. Your silence is a tacit endorsement approving of what this low life LOSER did to an almost teen girl



  30. 30

    What I really wanna know is what Jay-Z has to say about C. Brown and Rihanna being back together… wasn't it reported that he said CB is a dead man walking lol… what happened J??? When will you have "the talk" with your protege/lover???
    Usher just messed it up, he had the chance to be someone nice but now he just failed off the pedestal people built for him yesterday… poor thing, the only thing he can do now is pray for Ne-yo to get in a scandal and come up with a new cd…



  31. 31

    I'm still waiting for the win-win situation: Chris kills Rhianna and is either thrown in jail for the rest of his life or kills himself.



  32. 32

    I hate to say this but I agree with Perez.



  33. 33

    Earlier in that video Usher made negative comments about Christina Milian's new (horrible) hair color. THOSE were the statements he was retracting. I'm sure he meant what he said about Chris/Rihanna. Get the facts, Perez.



  34. 34

    Re: Break – I'm not in any way saying he shouldn't be sorry. It's not like I agree with a man hitting a woman. What i'm saying is it's not anyone's business. That is a personal matter for Rihanna and Chris Brown right now and it's not Usher's place to say anything good or bad about the situation just like it's not our place and just like it's not Perez's place. No one knows ANYTHING at this point so we can't say anything as of yet. I think Usher apologizing is the right and respectful thing to do because he realized it's not his place to judge.



  35. 35

    Mag, blogs, tv everyone are crazy trying to find an answer about what happened that day yet the 2 people involved and the 2 only witnesses of the whole story are keeping shushh on that and for the way this is developing I'm 100% sure they won't be saying a thing.
    At this point I personally couldn't care less about what Rihanna or Chris have to say, they obviously give a damn about their careers and give a rat's ass about what their fans have to say about them! Ppl where concerned about Rihanna but she acted like the lil bitch she is and totally snubbed everyone, this could have been her opportunity to be known for more than music but she CHOOSE to be back with her BEATER!!! Chris instead of keeping it low decided to spend a weekend in Vegas, another with dad and the last one with his punching-ball… wow what a nice life right???
    Mags just keep on making up stories or remixing things to sell a bit more but i guess that most of the people interested in this story are mainly fed up with all the bs written and both parts NOT CARING about the situation…
    I'm sure tomorrow media will be crazy trying to get a statement from Chris or Rihanna's, I'm pretty sure none of them would care to show up and they would send their lawyers to fix all of this…



  36. 36

    I really can't stand it when someone takes back their statement. For that don't say anything at all. Retards are all the same…



  37. 37

    you don't know what happend, i think usher heard the ful story what happend in first place and has now to reconsider his statemant, i think he is quite honest to even do the taking back…



  38. 38

    Makes you wonder who the heavy is in the biz that shutting all these people up that have dared to speak out against him!..There are a number now retracting their innicial comments!

    Re: MonaLisa – ….But domestic violence IS everyone's business. This attitude that it is a "private matter" helped abusers get away with this type of behaviour for far to long. People should NOT keep quiet about it. They need to speak out against it and given that this is such a public case now is a great time to do that. The photo is out, Chris has made an apology…although it was a weak one….There is no "Maybe/Maybe not" when it comes to his accountability.



  40. 40

    WTF - did all of the hip hop artists ban together and agree that beating the shit out of your woman is ok? really? i hope all of their record sales tank it - their reign is over - these guys are all way more successful than they deserve.



  41. 41

    I like how you dont know any other than what fatfuck here tells you. You dont know what steps he has taken to correct himself. You dont really know anything so how can you judge? He may have enrolled himself if classes that the press doesnt talk about because, to me, it looks like they are taking care of it privately, as people should take care fo their business. Until you know what goes on behind closed doors you cant judge.



  42. 42

    Mario, ur fucking retarded!!!!

  43. Bones says – reply to this


    43

    Rihanna is a fool for taking him back. There was even a pic of him "fake-punching" some girl for the paps. He thinks it's a joke. He didn't apologize–not to his young fans, and not publicly to Rihanna. Nor is he going to battered women's shelters like he's supposed to be.



  44. 44

    Re: LilyKay – Why the fuck are you here then? haha
    Everyone here is like BFF's. it's sad.



  45. 45

    AS I SEE IT RIHANNAS CAREER IS OVER TOO
    THIS IS NO BILL & HILARY BJ ISSUE HERE, THIS IS ABUSE & BATTERY
    ANYONE SUPPORTING IT OR STICKING WITH THIS HORRID SHOW OF EMOTIONAL DISARRAY IS JUST AS WORTHLESS AS BROWNS CAREER
    RIHANNA- YOU CAN FORGIVE HIM ALL THE TIME, BUT WE DO NOT !!!!!!!!!!!
    LEAVE A LIVING WILL BECAUSE THE NEXT BEATDOWN WILL LIKELY BE WORSE…
    MOVE ON GIRL!!

    Chris Brown IS and still looks like a prick. Usher your lame.



  47. 47

    Usher is a bitch! He's just scared because he doesn't want Chris and his goons to beat the fuck out of him like the little bitch he is! SHAME ON YOU USHER!!!! YOU ARE A HUSBAND AND A FATHER OF TWO BOYS AND BY YOU RETRACTING YOUR WORDS THAT JUST SHOWS HOW MUCH OF A MAN YOU ARE…I FEEL SORRY FOR TAMIKA TO HAVE TO RAISE HER TWO BOYS WITH YOU KNOWING DAMN WELL YOU ARE JUST ANOTHER WORTHLESS LITTLE BOY WITH MONEY IN YOUR POCKET, NO MORALS OR VALUES…

    anyone who hates chris brown over this is stupid. FIRST OF ALL they are back together anyway. perez should know this but for some reason the ladies on the view knew this before perez…..get it together man!! rhianna is an idiot, leave chris alone she obviously doesn't care she got beat so frig it.



  49. 49

    FUCK THE HATERS…
    CHRIS BROWN FOREVERRRR.!



  50. 50

    He has no tessies.



  51. 51

    I"m sure Puff Daddy called him to change his statement…!!! Usher shouldn't be afraid of Puffy…and since when it's bad to express an opinion?
    Usher has to stand up for himself….



  52. 52

    He is probably afraid he is going to get beat up!



  53. 53

    Some friends of mine and myself are already boycotting Rhiana and Chris Brown in our homes. and want to make sure there songs are not played at any school dances. This is just clearly the wrong message they are BOTH sending to kids who buy there crap. I blame BOTH of them now, and it goes to show how much they care about their fans which are mostly teenagers, that neither one of them has tried to talk to their fans about what happened and find a way to teach kids…. They are both trash, I don't care whose fault it was or why it happened. The situation is,, IT DID HAPPEN, he is an idiot and so is she, and there are A LOT of kids left numb and confused…. I call for a a boycott in schools all over,,, some one has to be responsible for this.



  54. 54

    well then fuck you, usher. you suck ass. that piece of trash doesn't deserve any apologies. this is disappointing.



  55. 55

    boycott usher

  56. MP says – reply to this


    56

    One reason we have this crappy society is because no one passes judgment on anything anymore. Usher, you're a wuss. Next time just don't say anything at all.



  57. 57

    Hmmm… perhaps, I don't know, there's something that *we* don't know yet. But, then why reserve judgment until all the facts are known - this is America after all… proceed with the assumptions and lack of empathy.

  58. Break says – reply to this


    58

    Re: shutittwat – You are a complete idiot…… We KNOW he hasn't made a "Genuine" public apology - We KNOW he isn't currently doing Volunteer work - We KNOW he isn't making public service announcements explaining to his young fans what he did and why it was wrong -We KNOW he beat up Rihanna - We KNOW she didn't have a deadly weapon and was trying to kill him…if she did we would have heard about it along time ago. So STOP making excuses for Chris….Your just making yourself look stupid



  59. 59

    Yawn, Life gose on,blah blah.

    FOR ABUSED WOMEN (like Rihanna):
    “Today he brought me flowers”

    Today he brought me flowers, for nothing.
    He said to forgive him
    He said that he would not hit me again

    Last night he hit me
    He hit me for nothing
    And I forgave him.

    Today he brought me flowers again.
    Again he hit me
    But this time in front of my friends
    My friends were scared
    But he said he would not do it again
    So I forgave him.

    Today he brought me flowers
    He hit me
    My family tells me to leave
    But I can’t

    What am I going to do alone without a man?
    How am I going to support my career if I don’t have a boyfriend?
    And my career and life is going to suffer

    I will stay with my boyfriend
    Because I can’t do anything on my own
    I can’t

    Today he brought me flowers
    He hit me real badly
    He broke my teeth
    He broke one of my ribs but he said he would not do it again

    My family wants me to leave him
    But I am afraid to leave him because without him I’m nothing

    Today he brought me flowers at the cemetery
    Last night he KILLED me

    Had I known this, I would have left a long time ago
    But it is too late … I am DEAD now.

    Today he brought me flowers.



  61. 61

    I think Usher was referring to the part in the video where he made fun of Christina Milian's jacked up blonde wig.



  62. 62

    I betcha if somebody asked Christina Aguilera what she thinks of this whole thing, and she answers negatively (like there's really something positive to say about this) best believe she will NOT retract her opinion and most likely with her personality, won't let someone back her into a corner and make her punk out like Usher.

    I got a bad feeling "Beat Her Down" is going to get away with this.
    Asswipe.



  63. 63

    ok…..arent chris and rihanna back together??…..so why are yall still talking down on him?….if the person that got beat doesnt have a problem with him, than niethre should anyone else



  64. 64

    unbelivable- this truly makes me so sad for rihanna. no wonder se was willing to take chris back with these type of people around, constantly telling her that its ok for a man to hit, choke and bite. for gods sake get a fucking backbone.

    Re: klove89 – So your saying if a man beats up a woman and she is dim enough to take him back no one should have a problem with him and it's okay?…are you seriously saying that?



  66. 66

    Of course he is a ( P ) blacks only beat on females or if there are 3 or 4 of them they will attack a white guy in his 70's in a wheelchair. have you ever been to the zoo and seen the chimps when they get worked up into a frenzy. there you have it All the same?



  67. 67

    IDK Y USHER APOLOGIZED LOL HE REALLY DIDNT HAVE TO



  68. 68

    The woman beater
    is having a great time on
    his jet ski.
    PLEASE let him do jail time..



  69. 69

    Ha! He must be a Republican.



  70. 70

    Clearly Chris Brown is not the only one at fault here. I am amazed how everyone is ignoring the fact that Rihanna needs help too. She obviously enjoys the abuse. She has gone through it before, she has taken him back this time, she provoked a volatile situation, etc. This is not to say that Chris Brown had any right to put his hands on her or any woman for that matter but this may be a thing they both have. Maybe it's how they get off. Argue, fight, bruise, cry and then make-up. Who knows? Actually at this point, who cares?



  71. 71

    I actually watched the video and I am wondering if he is backtracking on the Chris Brown/Rihanna statement or the Christina Millian critique…that was really rude! If you notice Perez and others he never once name's any specific person in his apology, he and his friends had a nice little rant about a few people…I expected an apology soon

    P.S. Did anyone commenting actually watch the video????



  72. 72

    RIHANNA STOPPED BEING THE VICTIM WHEN SHE CAME BACK TO HIM.
    THE REAL VICTIMS ARE THE CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE WHO IDOLIZE THIS COUPLE. THEY WILL GROW UP THINKING VIOLENCE IT'S OK AND IT'S ALSO OK TO BE ABUSIVE TOWARDS WOMEN.

    MUZLIMS AND BLACK AMERICANS MEN THINK WOMEN HAVE NO VALUE AND THEY'RE LESS THAN GARBAGE.

    BROWN AND RIHANNA ARE THE POSTER CHILDREN FOR VIOLENCE AND ABUSE…..THEY BOTH DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED BY THE PUBLIC.

    HE IS A COWARD, SHE IS A FOOL AND THEY BOTH CRAVE VIOLENCE.



  73. 73

    I'm glad Usher apologized!!!! It wasn't his place to view his opinion anyway!!!! TAKE A HINT PEREZ and the Chris Brown bashers!!!



  74. 74

    GUTLESS !!!



  75. 75

    thats pretty ironic, because, that was the FIRST time i had respect for Usher- lasted all about 5 seconds-
    Monchichi- look- alike- fool.



  76. 76

    I don't know who is more sick, Chris Brown or some of the losers on this site. Going on and on about how "we don't know what happened" and how there's another side of the story, like there's ever a time when this kind of behavior is OK. Her ravaged beat up face is in photographs and there are WITNESSES. And, he has admitted his involvement by making an incredibly weak tasteless apology. WHAT OTHER PROOF DO YOU MORONS NEED?! Seriously, makes me wonder what kind of homes you all grew up in. As for Usher, it's a shame he's retracting his statement, obviously he's not man enough to put his opinions out there and stand by them which is so rediculous. Domestic violence is NOT ok, and anyone that thinks it is should seek some therapy because they clearly have already experienced it in some form. Chris Brown needs to go to jail and Rihanna needs some serious counseling. Period.



  77. 77

    Im disappointed in YOU Usher.



  78. 78

    hahahaaa usher thats why u dnt tlk shit whn u have issues of ur own.



  79. 79

    That is AWESOME," FunMe," thanks for putting it out there!!!

    For those who say it's a "PERSONAL" matter between the two involved: HE MADE IT PUBLIC BY GIVING HER A SEVERE BEATING…IN "PUBLIC!"

    I find all this silence and recent retraction rather odd. Can't help but think maybe all the tip-toeing has to do with the well publicized ongoing gang feud between "Eastside/Westside" (think: NOTORIOUS B-I-G and 2PAC). It is a well known fact that so many of these hip-hop artists have ties to the two feuding gangs…..I dunno….



  80. 80

    I agree!



  81. 81

    Yeah some one in the same genre taking a stand…but then wimps out…I can't understand it??
