Chris Brown is secretly knee-deep in a campaign to resurrect his image and his target is a certain group of 12 people who will judge his fate. And guess what — it’s working.

We’ve been talking to people in Brown’s world and here’s what we know. Brown — who hired Sitrick and Company, the crisis management firm for which he more than qualifies as a client — has been calculating every public move he’s made over the last 6 weeks. From the NBA final game last Sunday … to the “I’m-not-a-monster” video…. to the antics with Omarion — Sitrick and others have tried to make the images of Rihanna‘s bruised and battered face disappear — or at least recede into the background.

One source says Brown has been told going out clubbing could kill his chances with a jury — it’s just too flip. For the most part, he’s obeyed them, although they weren’t happy when Brown hit a club with the Kardashian sisters and Bow Wow.

Ironically, Rihanna has actually helped Brown by resurrecting her glamorous self and getting on with her life.

Short story: We’re told the Sitrick and Company game plan is the opposite of what many lawyers would urge — going underground until the trial. They want Brown out and about, resuming life within limits.

Rihanna takes the stand next Monday to kick off Brown’s preliminary hearing. Should be interesting.

SOURCE: Obviously, TMZ

…and what’s wrong with rebuilding your image after the media did it’s best to try to tarnish it?

Take Care and I hope June 22nd ends all this.And that he has gotten help for anger issues that I'm sure stem from the violence that was around him as a child.

  • dj breezy

    FUCK TMZ THEY CAN GO SUCK A DICK

  • 100% on chris's side

    The Moron Zero club needs to just give it up… They did their letter best to destroy Chris When other grown male celebs are out doing all kinds of nasty and foul things and they rather target a good kid from V.A. Sure he was wrong to allow himself to stoop to the level he did, but as we the True Fans have been saying all along, We Do Not Know What happened That Night!! We Were Not There!! So I'll believe what I know of Chris from his past up untill now… He is a good kid and never hurt anyone before!! PERIOD! Aint nothing wrong with rebuilding your career after a situation like this!! TMZ DIE!!!!

  • Lotus

    TO ALL CHRIS FAN!!!

    It has become apparent that TMZ from the get have been nothing short of assholes and only care about degrading people instead building people. I too used to get so worked up at angry at what TMZ has to say negative and I’ve learned now that it ain’t worth our time and it makes no sense to give them wut they need by us accepting what they have to say!!! so I say it’s wuteva!! brush it off we all know that chris is a good guy and his image is GOING to be rebuilt!!! Have no worries!!!

      i dont think thats her at all

      • brianna

        thats not her because i dont think they were 2gether untill she cut her hair short….well c june 22

  • sunshine

    I have said it before and I 'm going to say it again…..TMZ will not be around long…please believe that the stories they run period are very racist and beyond factual. If people rally around Chris and flood them with great comments about Chris I believe they would think twice.

    • Melanie

      This whole situation with Chris Brown ain't got NOTHING to do with racism.

      • sunshine

        Are you serious…when it comes to black males like Micheal Vick that ran that fuckin story to the dogs. When it comes to certain people they go all out….they know lindsay is a walking crack head but they don't call her put her name like they do CB. What it is TMZ got called out about that photo so to fuck Chris we will post all kinda bullshit because we know people are going to read it and take it to other sites. Please

  • becca

    good for him :)

    • Yas – Yea I Sed It

      You must be both dumb and ridiculous to believe that shit. Grow the fuck up. That isn't Rihanna it is blatently a porn star trying to become more famous for the shit she does best. Even so, Chris Brown was not dating Rihanna when she was rocking that hair style. GTFOH.

      • Andrea

        Actually Chris Brown and Rihanna was together when she had that hairstyle. And the girl in the video looks identical to Rihanna, and Rihanna don't have a twin, so it is her. You're obviously the one who's dumb & ridiculous. Smh.

        • Yas – Yea I Sed It

          So the porn star who admitted it was her has nothing to do with the reason all the sites took it down yesterday? Hmmm?

    • Lovey Dovey

      …actually i heard it was a porn star named Lavish Styles…if you google image her, she looks a wholeeeee lot like rihanna its not even funny lol…

      I don't think its Rihanna, boobs are too big to be her…

  • Yas – Yea I Sed It

    There's nothing wrong with rebuilding your career once the media demolished several years of hard work. However, I am pissed that Chris has not done anything so far to help himself in the public eye. Giving a statement after the trial etc is far too late. He should have acknowledged it and made up by being charitable etc. I'm over this situation. I only want to hear Rihanna and Chris' testimony and then it's a wrap in terms of gossip on their personal lives. I only want to hear the music, the rest can kick rocks.

    • Lovey Dovey

      I heard that when we was playing basketball at that University in VA during their domestic violence week, he donated some money to the cause and after all those people came to the gym to see him, the creator of the organization (who used to beat his spouse apparently) gave a speech to everyone there. This is what I heard. I would not be surprised if it is true and the media chose not to write about it…cuz we know how the media is being selective with the information they want the public to know…

      • Bubblez589

        r u serious?!?!?! if this is true im flippin pissed off!

        they don't report this–or at least this rumor–but yet they have miss sunshine hugging cancer patients and cheesing for the camera so everybody can say "how cute!"

        the media makes me sick. If Chris or Rhi don't sue these people, then I will.

  • CBsupport

    hate tmz, they are such haters, and and yeah people that sex tape is not true, the girl is not even rihanna, its some porn star dont remeber her name but yeah, it was a fake

  • http://yahoo.com Oceanmate

    TMZ = LIES + METHS AND FAIRYTAILS and the tape is a Fake. That ET forehead is not there.

  • love him

    Yeah I said it:

    He can't release a statement until after the hearing. I don't think that he should fess up to anything because if she was attacking him while he was driving it is not that easy to just pull over and get out. One hit throws your whole balance off.

    Everybody is right about TMZ. They won't even post my positive comments about Chris anymore. Yeah, everybody makes mistakes but to be attacked when you're behind the wheel of a car can cause all kinds of things to happen, and nobody knows how they would react unless they are in that situation. Nobody even knows how he reacted, only what his mad girlfriend who had just read a text message from another woman said. A woman scorned will do and say a lot of things.

    You're right, it is only about the music. But the witch hunt that TMZ, Oprah, Tyra and the rest of the media has formed against this young man without even knowing the full story has been so sad to watch, and I am really hoping that what everybody thinks happened turns out to be totally wrong.

    • Bubblez589

      i totally agree. and yeah, I'm praying that he gets off with no jail time and that the truth is actually what we're expecting it to be.

  • CC1212

    Im praying and hoping more good things come for him, Also hope that they can finally solve this and get done with it Monday or at least sometime soon. I wish him the best of luck and im defitnely tired of TMZ and any other site that is just trying to bring him down. I will alwasy be a fan and support him not everyone is perfect. OH YEA THAT SEX TAPE IS DEFITNELY NOT OF RIHANNA OR CHRIS it is of that porn star.

  • Lotus

    Come on Andrea get a damn brain!! Cause obviously urs ain’t working!!
    Wut are u like 5??? Cause that’s wut a 5 year old would believe.

    • Andrea

      You probably hoping that it wasn't Rihanna, because you're inlove with Chris Brown.

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/monique88 monique88

    well he have to live his life sometime cant stay cooped up in the house all day everyday

  • chrisbrownswifey

    i love the source
    'TMZ obviously' haha

  • Lotus

    I still don’t see how after all this shit rihanna has on her why she is still a CoverGirl.
    She is not a role model
    She is not a good example
    Yes she is only human.. So is chris but I don’t see her getting stripped of her endosements. Oh and the bitch is getting sued!!!

  • http://lh3.ggpht.com/_CY5sR-S8ah8/ST8PxSLu-rI/AAAAAAAAAdA/lNQ3qKE4gGk/s640/Lavish-Styles.jpg t-bug

  • Lotus

    Right andrea that’s it u nailed it we all don’t want it to be rihanna cause were in love with CB. Gosh nothing gets passed u.
