Chris Brown Should Continue To See A Therapist For The Sake Of His Daughter


Chris Brown

Singer, Chris Brown, has announced his forthcoming album will be entitled "Royalty" which is the name of his 1-year-old daughter. Brown, who was previously jailed for probation violations stemming from the Rihanna case, resulting in a court order by a judge James Brandlin, compelling the star to submit to examination by a psychiatrist, rendered the official diagnosis that he is suffering from Bipolar disorder, among other psychiatric issues.

Brown should continue to see a therapist for the advancement of his mental health. Brown should also continue to actively undergo anger management. Being a parent is rewarding for many, but it requires patience and at times it is not easy, especially coupled with the problems he has in his life pertaining to his career. Both Brown and the mother of his child, Nia Guzman, should work towards complete sobriety in the area of drugs and alcohol, for the sake of their baby. People always make poor choices when they are high. Sobriety is best.

The Medical Reason For Chris Brown's Angry Outbursts In The Wake Of The Karrueche Tran Stalking And Shouting Incident Where Police Were Called


Chris Brown posted this item to his Instagram page on June 5, 2015

Under court ordered rehab, R&B singer Chris Brown underwent a psychiatric evaluation and diagnosed with bipolar disorder last year (he developed bipolar disorder at the Kabbalah Center, which is a Hollywood cult that harasses, abuses and brainwashes its members). It is apart of the court record, regarding documents submitted to Judge James Brandlin and Brown's former probation officer. Now that Brown has completed probation, there is no longer any court supervision or any order compelling him to seek medical help for his mental illness.

This past Thursday, Brown lashed out during a manic episode and began aggressively and angrily stalking and shouting at ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, who dumped him for fathering a child during their relationship. He even forced his way into her vehicle, then showed up at her home hours later loudly yelling and knocking on the door to the point the neighbors called police. Since breaking up with Brown, Tran has been avoiding him for the past 3-months, which has upset and enraged him on different occasions.


November 6, 2014 Psychiatric Times article on "7 Steps To Prevent And Manage Violence In Bipolar Disorder Patients" has a picture that is similar to the position Brown is crouched in above in a subsequent photo he posted a day ago, eerily symbolic of the rollercoaster of emotions and feelings bipolar patients go through.  

A photo posted to Brown's Instagram page yesterday reminded me of a picture from a psychiatric article on manic episodes people suffering from bipolar disorder experience. His case is textbook. There are signs of schizophrenia as well. It is clear the chemical reactions in Brown's brain that have gone awry due to the disorder are driving his misbehavior the public has witnessed.

He is ill and needs help. It is time for his family to step in and make sure he gets the help he needs, because as stated previously in the column, Brown is not regularly taking his medication on his own. I was informed Brown does not think he needs the bipolar medicine, but he is dangerously mistaken in this regard. He needs it to regulate the chemical activity in his brain lest he hurts himself and or others. Brown needs to be put on a proper medical regimen where he is legally required to take his medicine and under supervision.

This marks the third time in the past year there was a shooting at an event Brown was present. Brown’s probation officer expressed the concern in court that the singer's presence has been provoking violence and endangering the public. As a result, Brown’s probation officer wants him in jail to protect the singer and the public. However, Judge James Brandlein stated he currently has no proof Brown has anything to do with the shootings.

Make no mistake, violence is following Brown in misconduct by others that is deliberate and planned. Brown has a probation violation hearing coming up shortly, where Judge Brandlein will make the official determination whether the singer should be remanded into custody for failure to complete community service hours.

Chris Brown Releases Music Video With Girlfriend Karrueche Tran


R&B singer Chris Brown has released his latest video "Autumn Leaves" featuring long suffering girlfriend, Karrueche Tran. The clip was filmed last year in Hawaii, before the couple experienced problems, broke up and reunited. "Autumn Leaves" is a track reminiscent of the famous 1990s music quartet Jodeci.


"Autumn Leaves" discusses Brown's problems with his relationship, how he is viewed by society and makes reference to problems of violence. The singer is still struggling to complete the 1,000 hours of community service he was order to complete by Los Angeles Superior Court judge, James Brandlein. A hearing is scheduled for March 20, 2015 to determine if the singer will be sent back to jail. In 2014, Brown spent 4-months behind bars on a probation violation.

Chris Brown Must Buckle Down

...Or Face Jail
  

Chris Brown

R&B singer Chris Brown is in danger of going back to jail, as his probation was revoked last week. Judge James Brandlin gave Brown several months to complete 1,000 hours probation, but work commitments as well as partying got in the way. As of last week Brown was 202 hours short. Brown would have to work round the clock (with no sleep) at sanctioned community service locations to complete the missing hours in time, which really is not feasible.

The community service deadline crept up on Brown for a number of reasons. Once again, Brown needs to cut certain friends loose. Even his mother, who coddles him as her only boy, is telling him this. Said friends are taking up his time and money with unproductive ventures. His girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, has been trying to keep him on track, but they've broken up a few times during his probation. He was also in jail for 4 months in 2014.

Brown must change his mindset and look at probation as a job. Something he must do. Judge Brandlin has been merciful to Brown, but he's given him many chances and time is running out. Even if Brown has to take a month off from work, he needs to get the community service hours completed and move on with his life or he will continue to be stuck in this cycle of probation, jail and community service. 


Karrueche Tran

It's not good for his mind, well being or progress. Brown also needs to find a smart old school manager, not one who is partying with him and not telling him the truth about some of his trouble prone friends.

Judge Revokes Chris Brown's Probation Over Club Shootings And Insufficient Community Service Hours


A glum Chris Brown in court on January 15, 2015 on a probation violation

This month things have gone from bad to worse for R&B singer Chris Brown. Not only was his show at the Fiesta night club in San Jose, California, riddled with bullets, after assailants opened fire, leaving 5 people with gunshot wounds, a porn star who goes by the name, Kagney Linn Karter, made serious accusations against him on Twitter this past weekend. 

Today, Brown's probation was revoked by Judge James Brandlin, over failure to complete stipulated community service hours from the 2009 Rihanna domestic violence case, as well as issues surrounding two club shootings that transpired at events the singer performed at over the past 6-months. 


Brown's probation officer wrote to the Court, "The recent event in San Jose is disturbing for several factors. One is that he was court ordered not ot leave Los Angeles County without court or probation permission. This is also the second event in less than six months that the defendant has attended of performed where individuals were shot. Though he has shown the ability to be compliant during long stretches of his probation grant, he still continues a pattern of making choices that are counterproductive in his ability to be successful on probation. There is also concern that when he performs or attends at some of his public events, people will get shot or seriously injured." 

Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, cleared up the matter regarding the singer's travel requirements, informing the court they did inquire on permission to travel out of Los Angeles county to San Jose, but were told it was not needed. Judge Brandlin accepted the explanation from Brown's attorney. Judge Brandlin also expressed his belief Brown was innocent regarding what transpired in the two club shootings, "As it is now, there’s no indication the defendant had any awareness or criminal culpability." Indeed. As the Judiciary Report has stated for over a year, Brown is in danger and being targeted by individuals in the entertainment industry, known to the FBI, as having hired thugs to terrorize and assault people. These individuals are very brazen, with no fear of the law. 


Brown, with long suffering girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, by his side in court, was also informed by Judge Brandlin that with only 8-days remaining on his probation, it is unlikely he will complete the remaining 202 hours. Brown would have to work round the clock doing community service to make the deadline (but the question is will court recognized places be opened long enough for Brown to do so in time). Failure to complete all 1,000 hours within the next 8-days could lead to additional jail time or more community service. 

Brown has been ordered back to court on March 20, 2015, for a probation violation hearing, at which time Judge Brandlin will determine what course of action to take. Brown tweeted to his fans on Twitter, "Nothing can stop what God has planned. Surround yourself with elevators! It's almost over... Keeping pushing forward and don't break!"

Chris Brown's Probation Work Days Extended By The Court

Chris Brown

R&B singer Chris Brown was in court today for a probation hearing, in connection with the Rihanna domestic violence case. Judge James Brandlin stated Brown is doing well, with his only recent offense being a "speeding ticket." Brown's probation is slated to end in January 2015 and to make that date, the judge has increased the singer's community service days from three to four per week to keep him on track.


In other news, Brown stated on Access Hollywood that he sees a therapist twice a week. This is helpful to his situation and hopefully will help him gain insight into his child hood and the abuse he experienced at the hands of his stepfather, who also beat his mother. Brown stated, "I talk to my therapist twice a week whether it’s good or bad… I think it’s good to have somebody that you can vent to. Somebody that understands situations and is not judgmental… as a young guy coming up in the industry at 15, you don’t really get that, you don’t get the crash course. You don’t get the course on how to grow up and how to learn from your mistakes and handle situations differently."

Chris Brown Sentenced To 1-Year In Jail For Probation Violation


Chris Brown

R&B singer Chris Brown has been sentenced to 1 year in jail for violating his probation in the Rihanna domestic violence case. Brown had to face Los Angeles Judge James Brandlein on two issues - violating rules set specifically for him in rehab, via touching an employees elbow and arm, when he was ordered to stay two feet away from all female staff and refusing to take a drug test for hours upon his return to the Malibu facility. He passed the subsequent drug test. 



Parker Adams

Brown has already served 7-weeks in jail. To get a reduced sentence, Brown had to agree that he violated his probation in Washington, via getting into a fight with local man Parker Adams, who stalked and photobombed the beleaguered singer. Otherwise, Brown faced up to 4-years in jail. Brown took the plea deal his lawyer Mark Geragos negotiated. With credit for time served, coupled with significant overcrowding in Los Angeles jails, Brown could be released shortly.

Brown has been depressed and confused over his current legal woes, not fully understanding the legal process regarding what has happened. The judge gave Brown a break and he should take advantage of it upon his release, to make some changes in his life and do his best to avoid certain situations where his security is compromised.

Chris Brown Appears In Court Looking Depressed As Judge Sentences Him To More Jail Time


Chris Brown

R&B singer Chris Brown arrived in Los Angeles yesterday after spending days shackled on Con Air, the justice system's airline service for inmates who are extradited to other jurisdictions in America. He has been jailed for the past six weeks due to a probation violation. The singer has gained a little weight, giving him a healthier look. However, Brown looked troubled and depressed during his court hearing, as Judge James Brandlin order the singer to spend another week in jail, while his lawyer negotiates a plea deal over his probation violation. 

 

This means Brown will spend his upcoming birthday in jail. Brown turns 25 on May 5th, 2014, also known as Cinco De Mayo. The star also spent Easter in jail, regarding a Washington assault case involving local, Parker Adams. Brown's trial has been delayed while the singer's bodyguard, who was also charged in the incident, appeals his conviction in the aforementioned matter. The circumstances surrounding the case are not working in Brown's favor. 

 

CNN is reporting, "The prosecutor said last week that she would "strenuously object" to Brown being released because it appears likely Brown will be found guilty of the assault charge in Washington. Assistant District Attorney Mary Murray argued the only change since Brown was jailed in March is that his case has "gotten worse." The Washington judge who found his bodyguard guilty in the assault case also concluded that Brown was "the initial aggressor" in the incident, Murray said."

KTLA also reported, "The prosecutors cited Hollosy’s refusal to talk to them about his testimony as a major reason for the decision not to grant immunity. Their motion also said they suspected he might lie in his testimony to help Brown."

Chris Brown On A Legal Rollercoaster Facing Two More 5-Day Trips On Con Air As Assault Case Is Continued To June 2014


Chris Brown

Judge Patricia Wynn has ordered another delay in the Chris Brown assault trial taking place in Washington. The trial is set to resume June 25, 2014. The continuance is due to Brown's bodyguard Chris Hollosy being found guilty of assault in the related incident, regarding Parker Adams, a local man that stalked the singer, photobombed him and attempted to enter his tour bus. Hollosy, who has no criminal record, punched him to prevent further trespassing. Hollosy is appealing Wynn's guilty ruling. This has created a delay in Brown's case.


Mark Geragos

CNN is reporting Brown could face another 4-5 day ride on Con Air, transporting him in shackles from Washington to Los Angeles for a probation violation hearing in the Rihanna domestic violence case. Brown was ejected from rehab over refusing to take a drug test he passed later that evening, as well as touching an employee's hand and elbow. Once the hearing is completed, Brown will likely face a second trip on Con Air, save for some change in the Washington case.

Adams was recently quoted by the ABC network stating "I'm a pawn in all of this." Under the circumstances that's an odd statement for him to make. It doesn't sound right. Who made you the "pawn." Expound on that. Are you scared to speak further on it, as it doesn't seem you are in control and considering you are the alleged victim that's weird.


Chris Brown

When a person states they are a "pawn" or "pawn in a game" it means something conspiratorial and corrupt is afoot. The question is who is behind it, as there are discrepancies in this case that deviate from the norm. Adams also pled ignorance to the $3,000,000 figure he has sued Brown and his bodyguard for, stating he found out about it in the press. Lawyers usually inform clients what grounds they are suing under and the dollar amount, prior to filing suit.

As Chris Brown Sits In Jail His New Music Dissing Rihanna Shoots Up The Charts And Blows Up On YouTube


Chris Brown and attorney Mark Geragos

Chris Brown, who is currently in jail on a probation violation, released a new music video two days ago entitled “Loyal.” In the two days since its release, the video has received 5,000,000 views on YouTube and moved up the iTunes charts. The song contains the lyric “These ho*s ain’t loyal” with many online stating Brown is referring to on and off girlfriend Rihanna, who cheated on him repeatedly throughout their relationship, with music producers and executives, to further her career.

In the meantime, Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos is working to free the singer from jail. Brown has legal troubles on two coasts that threaten his freedom for the next four years. If Geragos can successfully strike a settlement in a fraudulent Washington case and convince Judge James Brandlin in Los Angeles that the removal of the aforementioned legal action means Brown should go free, he will be released from jail. 


Rihanna and Drake a week ago. The couple were spotted going into the same hotel again yesterday.

Brown needs to change his reaction to negative situations, where he is confronted by people who want to provoke a fight and payday from exploiting his situation. If Brown does not implement and enforce a policy of calling the police and walking away from all confrontations, he is going to end up in jail again and for a long time.

The Chain Of Custody In The Chris Brown Probation Violation Case


Chris Brown

The public is confused regarding the chain of command in the Chris Brown probation violation case, stemming from the 2009 Rihanna domestic violence incident. Brown’s probation was violated a few weeks ago, over an alleged assault in Washington, regarding an incident that is completely questionable. 

Brown voluntarily admitted himself into rehab for anger management in Los Angeles, where he resides, with Judge James Brandlin’s approval. Brown completed 95-days in rehab. The judge was impressed and extended it by 60 additional days, which would keep Brown in treatment until the next hearing in his Washington case. However, three issues that were not of an illegal nature occurred, resulting in his arrest at the facility. Brown currently sits in jail, after being remanded into custody for a month until the next hearing in his Washington case. 

As the Judiciary Report was the first to state, Brown’s lawyer should settle the fraudulent Washington case, even though the victim stated the singer never hit him. Something strange is going on which could lead Brown spending up to 4-years in jail. The next day TMZ wrote Brown’s lawyer is looking into settling the case. 

If the Washington case is handled via settlement, it should by default dispose of the Los Angeles violations as well, as his probation was violated over what transpired in D.C. If the basis for the violation is removed from the equation, how can the rehab incident reasonably remain. Brown was not accused of breaking the law in rehab. Once again, Brown was accused of violating house rules, in conduct that was not criminal.

Chris Brown Is Going To Go Stir Crazy After Being Placed In Solitary Confinement In Jail


Chris Brown in court on Monday

R&B singer Chris Brown has been placed in solitary confinement for a one month stint in prison, which could be extended if new charges are added to his probation violation case, stemming from the Rihanna domestic violence case. Rihanna is Brown’s on and off again girlfriend, who is still very much in love with him.

Brown is segregated from other inmates due to his high profile status, but he is also in solitary confinement 23-hours per day, which is considered mentally draining and difficult. Brown, who is suffering from mental illness, will go stir crazy, especially if he isn’t given the correct levels of medication to treat his Bipolar Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. 

 

Rihanna was seen looking sad and worse for wear after Brown's arrest

Brown’s mother, Joyce Hawkins, was seen crying in court as Judge James Brandlin remanded her son into custody, after he was kicked out of the second rehab facility this year. Some are stating the Malibu rehab facility acted with a double standard. Actress Lindsay Lohan hopped the fence of a rehab treatment center in Malibu, went to a local bar and got drunk and high, then refused to take the drug test. She even assaulted a female rehab worker and didn’t spend a day in jail over it. 

Refusing to take a drug test in rehab is risky and grounds for expulsion. Rules must be followed closely. This is the best way to successfully complete rehab. However, it became clear the rehab facility was exasperated with Brown and wanted him out, citing three in-house rule violations. The facility blamed Brown’s refusal to take the drug test, touching a staffer’s elbow when he was ordered to stay 2-feet away from all female staff in the facility and the singer stating, “I am good at using guns and knives” as grounds for his expulsion from the facility and subsequent arrest.

Brown’s pending assault case in Washington, D.C., where he was stalked, photobombed and harassed by a man named Parker Adams, leading to his bodyguard punching the local for trespassing on the singer’s tour bus, could result in a probation violation that sends the star to jail for up to 4-years. Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, uncovered the fact a police report was changed to state Brown hit Adams. However, a Secret Service agent, who witnessed Parker’s statements to police, revealed Adams did not tell police that Brown was the one who hit him. 

Brown’s attorney may choose to settle the case, in a bid to keep him from spending 4-years in jail. Recently, rapper Kanye West settled a case where he hit a man for telling his Armenian fiancé, Kim Kardashian that she is a “ni**er lover.” That was hate speech. West should have played it smart, called the police and had the man arrested for harassment and hate speech, then sued him. Instead West hit him, then reportedly had to issue a six figure settlement to stay out of jail.
