Chris Brown
R&B singer Chris Brown
was recently released from jail and some of his friends and industry
business associates are once again showing they are not a good
influence. After the BET Awards, they offered him drinks at a party
and Brown, who had been in rehab for anger management and substance
abuse issues, had been clean for months, so his system was hit very
hard by the reintroduction of alcohol, having less of a tolerance
for it.

You claim to be his
friends and know his situation, yet offered him drinks (it's not
that they are trying to sabotage him, but industry people think
sharing is caring in that way, so if they are having a drink or
spliff, they offer it to others as well). I would never offer an
alcoholic drink to a friend who is on probation and struggling
with substance abuse issues, as it can act as a gateway to stronger
substances. Brown's bodyguard and friends had to help him to his car
as a result of having been offered alcohol fresh out of rehab and
jail, which TMZ pounced on in an article labeling him drunk for the
world to see.

certain people Brown is hanging out with and voiced that opinion to
him
Brown's friends in the
Bloods street gang have offered him protection from certain
Hollywood criminals, who have been threatening, stalking and
harassing him. He should not espouse support for them
online/publicly, as he did, which TMZ pounced on, as he is on
probation. The respective prosecutors offices in Washington and Los
Angeles are watching him, his social networking sites and that of
his on and off girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, as well as the main blogs,
such as TMZ (among others). Prosecutors and lawyers routinely use
blog sites for information and evidence in cases.

If Brown is to navigate
himself out of legal trouble, he is going to have to lay low in his
private time and stay away from certain people and influences. Many
stars have fled Los Angeles for that reason, because it is so easy
to get into trouble living in the heart of Hollywood. Trouble will
find you there. Even the little time I spent out in Los Angeles,
trouble and temptation found me out there, but I resisted. So I can
see and understand how people get into trouble and state it is best
to avoid certain situations.
Chris Brown and Mark Geragos
Brown and jail do not
agree. He was upset, angry and depressed in there. He is going to
have to shed a few friends and keep more of his personal life to
himself, lest they cause him problems and or it be used against him
in court. Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos has warned him of situations
to avoid for the sake of his freedom and he must listen to him, as
there is only so much a lawyer can do in court after a while, when
the government has stacks of printouts from websites and blogs.
Clean up your social networking pages, be careful what you put on
them and avoid certain people, places and situations.
