Chris Brown may not be the most popular guy right now, but friend Tyrese Gibson says everyone needs to take a step back and give him and Rihanna breathing room while they sort through a trying time.

“Although he appears to be really strong through all of this, it’s really taking a toll on his spirit,” Gibson said at Sunday’s 2009 Ball Up Street Ball Tour. “People like me and Puff, we’re just trying to show him love and keep his spirits up while he’s going through all of the heat, and there are a lot people doing the same for Rihanna.”

In February, Brown, 19, allegedly assaulted the Barbadian singer and his name has since appeared in countless negative articles and discussions of domestic abuse. Rihanna, too, has faced fallout, including criticism for taking Brown back. (According to one source, they have since decided to take a break.)

“It’s really hard for him to focus right now on his music, even though he really wants to,” said Gibson. “At the end of the day, I’m not trying to justify it because wrong is wrong, but unfortunately, us as entertainers, we have to grow up on stage with a lot of people looking at us. And a lot of people forget that he’s 19, she’s only 21.”

So over it.

    Tyrese lil sexual chocolate ass…mhm..i knew i liked that man for a reason…lol..but he made some good points..and i knew Chris was stressing out despite the whole jetski thing..ppl were quick to judge while Diddy and Tyrese are trying to help him get thru the stress and depression..and as Tyrese said..peeps are helpin Rihanna out on her end..I just want all this to be over already..i know this is gonna be a wound that he and the rest of us have to heal from..but no matter if it heals or not it will alwayz be a scar now..some one is alwayz gonna be able to say some negative shyt about him..but we'll see how strong Chris is..and how strong us TRUE fans support is..the scar may be there forever but it doesn't mean we gotta stare at it forever..You just move on..and learn from the mistakes and become a better person..that's how i look at it.

  • LADY T

    Is Chris with Jive Record Label?

  • hiafa

    you are so right we have to pray that he is ok, because i've seen this kind of thing take someone like Chris down and out. i've seen a lot of good star not make it, ones that can really sing. but Chris has a good following, fans love him, maybe some have left but a lot of us still love him, i just hope he is strong enough to keep pushing on, thats where it is, we will be here for him but he can't give up, i don't think he will he loves it to much..it makes me mad as hell when i see rihanna junk on tv, and they're not showing any of Chris stuff GOD it makes me cry and so mad. i want to hurt somebody bad. i've got to go and come down… up set now

    t'm glad Tyrese is sticking up for him and isn't just calling him a monster or putting all the blame on him like other people.

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/annie92 annie92

    Calisfinest21, Kudos for you, my sentiments exactly!:)

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

    Many thanks for Tyrese, Diddy & all other celebs who speak up on Chris' behalf. Because of their global appeal, their voices provide an expansible support system. In addition Chris knows he still has the non condemning love of his family & true fans.

    Along with his proven strength & tenacity, he will regain his momentum & love for what he does best, MAKING GREAT MUSIC! :D

  • Heaven-Sent

    Tima1 well said, If Chris ever decide to reads these comments from his true fans, I hope it puts a smile on his face and courage in his heart.

  • Kathy

    I just wanted to bring it up again, but go listen to Rise And Fall by Craig David, totally explains Chris' explanation.

  • msgigi

    I wonder if that is the real Tyrese on twitter. Any way I wonder who pappazzi Chris was at Tyrese. Who film him and sent it TMZ? He needs some way to release his stress.

  • Lay-d Sweetz

    i hope Chris reads all these comments too! I love him soo much and I know we r not the only ones that still have trust and faith in him. I jus can't wait 4 all this 2 be over and 4 ppl 2 stop judging him. its nice 2 c that Diddy and Tyrese r not following the crowd and crticizing him. at the end of the day evry1 makes mistakes but it doesn't make them a bad person. AND i am so sick and tired of evry1 acting like Rhianna is completely innocent. she must've provoked the attack in some way! as 4 them getting bk 2getha i dnt think its a gd idea. u shldn't be with someone that brings out the worst in you. and that's exactly what Rhianna did. she brought out the worst in Chris. He is better off without her. we all know Chris is not a bad person and that's why we love him! i can't wait 2 c him dancing on stage and smiling again. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE HATERS CHRIS!! YOUR TRUE FANS ARE WITH YOU NO MATTER WHAT! x

  • lovecb

    Ditto!!!Chris gets much love, and we're not the only ones. I'm hearing it everywhere. Just goes to show that you can't hold a good man down. We fall down but we get back up again!!!We love you Chris!!!!

    just go to today's posts..and
    this is what the forum title called:

    IKE BROWN OUT AND ABOUT IN VA (Norfolk/Tapp/Richmond)

  • candy

    Look at Rihanna's new tatoos? Is she serious?
    We have been saying that Rihanna is crazy, obsessive and controlling for ages.

    She was always a bad girl and being that she is from the same island as my dad I know that Bajan women do not play, they will fight a man like a man.

    She has been controlling and bullying Chris for a long time and I think he snapped this time.
    She is dangerous and she is lying.
    Lil Mama kind of said it when she said Rihanna is just out partying like nothing happened.
    How can she just go out partying every night after what happened, what about coming out and talking to her fans, the same fans that made her famous and rich. SHe would not be buying that LA mansion if her fans hadnt purchased her cds and gone to her concerts. she owes her fans everything yet she is ignoring them and playing some game with the paparazzi who could care less about her.

    The paparazzi can tell her she's beautiful all day, they are not the ones buying her cds.

    I pray that Chris does not go to court and lie for Rihanna and take all the blame.

    Did anyone listen to his aunt talking on the radio. If you havent google Chris Brown's aunt clearing up rumours, it was about 5-6 weeks ago but as his aunt said there is two sides to every story and Chris would never attack someone for nothing.

    No one has come out and said 1 bad thing about Chris, yet the media continue to call him a monster and serial abuser.
    And Rihanna has taken this sympathy tour too far. She has ruined this talented guys career, he has worked hard for 5-6 years to build up his superstar status and this no talent spoilt b**** takes it all away from him.

    I'm mad as hell and I want Chris to tell the truth in court, this was a fight which Rihanna started and could not win. Chris is not an abuser, he just should have thought twice and got out of the car and called her people to come and get her.

    He is only 19 and he does not need to be settled down with one girl.

    I am praying hard for Chris.

  • Lay-d Sweetz

    I totally agree. We all knew from the beginning that Rihanna was a feisty little b****. All Chris' fans knew something bad would happen. He shouldn't go back 2 her!! LOVE YOU CHRIS!!

  • Lay-d Sweetz

    I just listened 2 Chris' aunt talking on the radio. it was so emotional and she started crying. What she was saying is so true. The whole story is one-sided and no one even knows Chris' story! I don't care what anyone says I am always gonna be right behind him like many others. If you aint heard his aunt on the radio then you should. just google it. Thanks 2 Candy for that or i never would have known about it! If you love Chris Brown leave him a hug! Here's a BIG HUG for you Chris! Keep on smiling! :D

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

    yes, tyrese!
    you tell 'em, baby!
    lol! :D i loves me some tyrese, too. yuuum.

    but anyway.
    everything that candy said is basically how i feel.
    it's been reported before that rihanna is clingy (she gave chris a list of things he could and couldn't do on tour. who does that?) and violent, but no one paid any attention.
    it's much easier to believe that chris, who doesn't have even remotely the same history of violence that ol' tenhead has, is a horrible, violent monster. yeah, right.

    tyrese is right, what's wrong is wrong and yeah, what chris did is wrong. i ain't denying that.
    but i'm not gonna take everything the media reports, believe it word for word then run an angry mob out for his blood.

    this story is insanely, wickedly, incredibly one-sided and i'm glad that chris still has people on his side who are reaching out to him with love and prayer because that's what that poor boy needs now.

    i don't know chris personally, and i doubt i ever will, but from what people have said about him, both before and after this incident, i'm not immediately inclined to believe that, the night of one of the biggest award shows of the year, he would beat up his girlfriend and ruin his career over nothing.

    that doesn't really make sense.

    another thing doesn't make sense.
    rihanna doesn't seem nearly as emotionally tormented as she should be.
    i mean, if she really is the poor, innocent, abused woman everyone is making her out to be she wouldn't have gone back to him and she wouldn't be out partying it up and flirting away like she is now.
    abuse is a form of psychological control and it takes a while to get over it.

    a while, as in longer than two/three months.

    i don't know about the rest of you, but, aside from the police report (which is fishy in itself.), i'm taking everything the media "reports" (a.k.a. bullshits.) with a grain of salt.
    all i do know for sure is: it happened and chris is going to court for it.
    everything else… well. :/
