Marketing Mogul: Chris Brown Can Bounce Back!

March 28th, 2009
CATEGORY: News | PERMALINK

Singer CHRIS BROWN can repair the damage caused to his career by his fight with ex-girlfriend RIHANNA, just like basketball star KOBE BRYANT bounced back after his 2003 sexual assault scandal, according to marketing mogul STEVE STOUTE.

The Kiss Kiss hitmaker is facing almost five years in jail in relation to an 8 February (09) incident which reportedly left Rihanna battered and bruised.

Brown’s career has taken a knock since the headline-grabbing altercation, with bosses at gum firm Wrigleys and America’s National Dairy Council pulling promotional campaigns featuring the star, while executives at several radio stations have removed his songs from their playlists after receiving complaints from listeners.
But entertainment marketing titan Stoute, who was instrumental in landing Brown the Wrigley’s deal, insists he can salvage his tattered career and be just as successful as Bryant.

The Los Angeles Lakers star hit the headlines in 2003 when a Colorado hotel employee accused him of sexually assaulting her. Bryant maintained his innocence and the charges were later dropped after his accuser refused to testify in court.

Bryant has since overcome the allegations and regained his star status – and Stout is adamant Brown can do the same, as long as he can win back public support.

He tells MSNBC, “We’ve seen brands move past this before, and we’ve seen celebrities move past this. We’ve seen Kobe Bryant go through what he went through, and all of a sudden he’s back in graces with Nike, he has Vitamin Water deals and he’s the MVP of the league… So it’s all public opinion. Public opinion ultimately does control how these things work out.”

Brown is due to be arraigned on 6 April (09) on felony counts of assault likely to cause great bodily injury and making criminal threats.

Sorry that we are not quick to believe everything that Rihanna or the media said…open-minded people analyze the whole situation before coming to an opinion…smh

HELLO, CAN WE FORGET THE CRAZY "BITCHASSNESS" COMING FROM 'PAPSDONTLIE' AND FOCUS.

‘Disturbia’ the song Breezy wrote for Rihanna has gone triple platinum.

That’s some excellent news for Chris.

CONGRATS BREEZY, WE LOVE YOU (THAT'S ANOTHER $3-4 MILLION IN THE BANK)

"'PAPSDONTLIE' GET YOUR MOUTH OFF CHRIS'S NUTS."

Rindy

IT IS SAD WHEN YOU MAKE A STATEMENT THAT CHRIS BROWN IS A WIFE BEATER. HE IS NOT MARRIED TO RIHANNA, THEY DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN TOGETHER, THEY DO NOT LIVE TOGETHER AS A COMMON LAW MARRIAGE AND ETC. THEY ARE JUST NOT IN THE CATEGORY OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. YOU DO NOT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CHRIS BROWN TO MAKE A STATEMENT LIKE THAT (PAPSDONTLE). SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY MUST OF WENT THROUGH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR YOU YOURSELF. MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE HATING CHRIS HAD PAST EXPERIENCE WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND THINK THAT CHRIS BROWN FALLS IN THAT CATEGORY. YOU TALK LIKE CHRIS IS YOUR ATTACKER OR YOUR RELATIVE ATTACKER.YOU CANNOT BLAME HIM FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU OR YOUR LOVE ONE. PROSECUTORS ARE GOING TO LOSE THIS CASE ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.THATS A FACT READ UP ON THE LAW.

candy

@Rindy.

Why you wasting time talking to trash like papsdontlie.

@Papsdontlie,

Stop the bitchassness and come off this site.

Paps dont lie, huh funny. Do you work for TMZ or Perez Hilton?

You don't know shit about Chris and I can bet you didnt even know who he was until 7 or 8 weeks ago when this story broke. Everyone and their mama is jumping on the bash Chris bandwagon.

Chris is no wife beater and Harvey TMZ knows that.
When Rihanna has to stand up in court and face Chris she will break down because she is not prepared to lie and send this boy to jail.
People are supporting Chris because he is a talented and nice guy. This is not who he is and I dont appreciate people calling him a wife beater.

You are welcome to take your shit over to TMZ and Perez Hilton or even Rihanna Daily, they might be interested in what you have to say.

http://intensedebate.com/people/Tima1 Tima1

THANK YOU Mikey J, once again, I agree 100! Chris needs people that always keep it real with & for him!

candy

@CBDLIFE

Don't bother cause i will shut you down. Mind your own f****** business. It is not your site and I can write whatever the f*** I want.

http://intensedebate.com/people/samantha2 samantha2

ahhahah..
yeh.i know.im just over people wasting their time writing badly about Chris and so i get excited when people defend him..LMAO..

izzy

did i once question why you support him?? clearly i didnt, nor do i care whether you do are not, im stating my opinion, which isnt a crime…

and honestly, in my opinion, if i was soooooo innocent, i would have made it clear that i didnt do it when i made my first statement, if his legal team is so legit, why in the hell would they think it was a bright idea to go on a public vacation, when a court case that could potentially ruin your career was pending?? making a statement even though he cant speak on it, is worth the risk when there are picks of you "living it up in diddys house"…

nobody is going to give him a "oh chris its ok" after his name was paired up with "woman beater" whether he did it or not, like someone stated, he is labeled, and no matter what anyone says, labels will ultimatly determine your crediablity in the industry, no matter if your guilty or not….thats all im sayin

and putting words into my statements isnt making a valid point…not once did i even say anything about "bypassing the system…"
smdh

izzy

and Tima1, just becuz you dont agree, doesnt make my OPINIONS arent keeping it real…im keeping it real whether or not you agree or not

Jared

@ izzy: its about time we have someone that goes against the grain…people one here wont allow anyone to state a DIFFERENT opinion.. and this site is become more of an "lets fight and be caddy" site…to bad

http://www.intensedebate.com/people/Mikey_J Mikey J

who's fighting?
i already said, you're entitled to your opinion and i'm entitled to disagree.
thus is life.

i never said that you weren't allowed to state your different opinion. that's kinda the point of debating.

if you consider my disagreeing with you "fighting and being catty", then, well…
i can't help you.

buuut i do respect everyone's opinions, whether they differ from mine or not.
if you got the wrong impression, then my bad, i din't mean to come off like that.

the only time i've actually attacked someone here is whe n DaRealestChickAlive insulted ashleyLOVEScb x3.
insults aren't called for, at all.

aaaand now i'm done, lol. PP
how is everyone today?

DEUCE.
i made a mistake: the only people i've attacked are DaRealestChickAlive and Amzerz.
my baaaad.

Hender

Iona..they crucify anyone on here that even remotely sounds like they are "bashing" chris…plus its hard to not take sides when the accused side takes a situation like this one lightly…ex: going on vacation before a court date that could ruin your career…a normal worried person would stay out of the public eye..atleast till things are resolved…

plus….many of the people are taking facts and running with them also….what are yalls excuse for hating on rihanna…claiming her story has "alot of hole in it"…your being judgemental also when you bash on rihanna…so how come you can talk??
smh

http://intensedebate.com/people/Calisfinest21 Calisfinest21

Old lord i can tell i'm talking to kids here..sigh..ok..i did not once bash rihanna..i haven't called her out of her name..or any name at all..i'm just looking at the whole picture as i said i'm not gonna juge from one side imma hear both sides that would be the fair and right thing to do..smh.

Hender

WELL HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT MAYBE OTHERS WHO DISAGREE ARE "LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PICTURE..AS THE SAME AS YOU ARE??PLUS AS SOON AS WE DEFEND OUR SELFS, YOU GUYS ARE QUICK TO EITHER CALL US NAMES, OR STATE THAT WHAT WE ARE ENTITLED TO SAY IS RIDICULOUS…

HOW COME ITS ALRIGHT TO PUT PITTY ON YOU GUYS FOR "AS SOON AS WE DEFEND HIM..BLAH BLAH BLAH…HOW COME WE CANT DEFEND OURSELVES, WITH COMMENTS THAT DISAGREE?? WHAT HAPPEN TO BEING FAIR….

YOUR SO HOOKED ON SAYING THAT WE SHOULD NOT TAKE SIDES AND EXCEPT FACTS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE SPECTRUM, WHEN YOU WONT ALLOW SOME OF US WHO ARE JUST STATING HOW WE FEEL, SAY WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY WITHOUT BEING CRUCIFIED FOR IT?? HOWS THAT FAIR

AND JSUT BECUZ WE DONT AGREE, DOENST MAKE US "KIDS"..SOME OF US HAVE SOME EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND, ATTENDING COLLEGE…

AND MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE SOME OF YOUR OWN ADVICE…." IMMA HEAR BOTH SIDES, THAT WOULD BE THE FAIR AND RIGHT THING TO DO"……

Iona

Thaannnnkk youu Hender. ive been trying to say that

???

wasnt unfair to him as they are on chris???? you might want to look back on alot of what was said and done to kobe when this issue happened….plus he took his charges differently then chris….

http://intensedebate.com/people/Tima1 Tima1

Hender , put yourself in Chris' shoes & feel all the hate from people who you thought loved or just liked you. Then after one night, something crazy happened but before ANYONE gave you a chance to tell your side of what occurred legally, you're HATED, DEMONIZED CALLED ALL KINDS OF NAMES & you lost all your endorsements. What should have been very personal was publicized worldwide. Then you had to face at least one felony charge that upcoming week & were uncertain what the outcome would be.

I think he deserved a little happy time on a jet ski, plus he did work that weekend recording with TI before TI is incarcerated.

If you cant see the holes in her story, which by the way is the official affidavit that was filed on March 5th, you have little understanding of this entire situation ad maybe need to refrain from bashing those who clearly understand what s going on.

http://www.intensedebate.com/people/Mikey_J Mikey J

whoa.
i just REALLY took that in…

she pretends to call her assistant and tell her to have the police at her house, waiting for them…
but then she SITS on the keys, preventing him from going anywhere.

so, really.
what the hell was the point in that?

WAAAAIT.
i just thought about it some more, lol.

when he tells her to get the fuck out the car, she stays.
she sits on the goddamn, motherfucking keys, keeping him from driving/taking her home.
so, what this all says to me is: Tenhead wanted to stay in the car.
if she was really the terrified woman everyone thinks she was…
why the hell wouldn't she, y'know. leave. or at least show some signs of wanting to leave.
?

http://intensedebate.com/people/Tima1 Tima1

Mikey J, that's my point exactly. Maybe, just maybe, she didn't want too leave him because she thought that would stop him from leaving her that night. Doesn't sound like a "victims' move huh?

If he was beating her, putting her out along side the road, that was her perfect opportunity to get somewhere before things escalated more. That's when she could have called her assistant or better yet, her SECURITY, to come pick her up.

If the prosecution does use her as their "star" witness, they have their work cut out for them for real.

http://intensedebate.com/people/Mikey_J Mikey J

that's what i'm thinking, Tima1.

people argue that fear kept her in the car.
but, um.
did fear make her sit on the keys? like, damn.
also: the fake call to the cops.
if chris really is abusive and he's hit her before, then wouldn't she expect him to get angry with her if she called… anyone?
so why the hell would she take that risk, put her life in further jeopardy, and pretend to call the cops?
that also doesn't make sense to me.

kate

cb4life Do you just come on here to argue with CB fans? There are enough people against Chris and you want to start arguing with a true fan. My Cuz can write anything she wants. Step off.

Do you think CB would want his fans to start tearing each other down too?
And it is serious, man's facing 5 years in jail and the end of his career. Have you been sleeping for 2 months.

LONI

JUST BECUZ THEY DONT AGREE WITH YOU…DOESNT MEAN THEIR OPINIONS ARE PURE STUPIDITY…DONT BE IGNORANT TO OTHER PEOPLES THOUGHTS…RUDE

http://intensedebate.com/people/Mikey_J Mikey J

LOL!
"crazy bitchassness" indeed.

@Hender
Please don’t take this the wrong way.I’m not trying to bash on your of fight with you in fact the exact opposite. Look when a person is being accused for something they should have a chance to defend theirselves now all we heard so far and what know is Rihannas statement made to the police.first off when we first heard about this they said that she called the cops.now that is not the case. they said she threw the keys out the window.nope. And at first it was a brutal attack and that he just wailled on her now they say she threw the punches. Chris was not going out on a vacation he was relaxing his mind.I mean that’s what I would do if I were getting hated on all day.these are the reasons why rihannas story has holes in it.

Now personally I never bashed on rihanna cause that’s just not me but to sit there and tell chris to go somewhere private and stay out of the public eye is not fair when your girl is out clubbing and partying and getting tats or what not and she is part of this mess to.when a story doesnot add up you did the math wrong.you want to talk about fair.well fair is letting the poor boy speak out on his behalf and his side of the story. You need to really pick and choose your words and battles carefully cause you just might end up eating it and losing it. Where people are very passionate about something then they will do all that they can to achieve it.

Now no one has heard the thruth and ran with it cause the thruth has yet to surface and I bet everything that what she said to the police is something short of the thruth.

So with me I am intelligent and educated enough to speak softly but carry a big stick.and know enough to only speak when I feel it is necessary, and I feel that it is in this case. I give my support who needs it the most and at this moment chris needs it.

Omg did you see that sham wow girl???
