Ray J Denied Visa To Australia Over Chris Brown Incident

 
Princess and fiancé Ray J

Rapper and reality star Ray J and his fiancée, Princess, has been denied a visa to visit the nation of Australia. There is speculation that the visa denial occurred due to his involvement in the latest scandal regarding singer Chris Brown, who was banned from Australia a year ago over the Rihanna domestic violence case and his status as a felon.

The latest incident involving Ray J bringing a female scam artist, Baylee Curran to Chris Brown's home, without the singer's permission, mushroomed into a scandal when she gave gossip site TMZ, police and various news outlets conflicting stories claiming he kicked her out of his house at gunpoint.

Curran has since been unmasked as a thief wanted for questioning, regarding a grand theft larceny case in New York, involving an incident where she stole a $1,000 Louis Vuitton purse containing $200. Curran is also accused of stealing her friend's Rolex watch. Curran's boyfriend is currently in prison over a bar fight she participated in, which left people injured.

Despite Curran's history, Ray J, has been deemed guilty by association. However, there is another spin. The mere fact Ray J brought someone of such poor reputation to Brown's home, in what has become a terrible scandal wasting police time and taxpayer money, indicates he would do the same in other situations.

Ray J Denied Visa Over Chris Brown Incident

Thursday, September 08, 2016 - Last month R&B singer Ray J found himself in the middle of one of Chris Brown's scandals after a party guest called the cops claiming Chris pulled a gun on her. Now Chris Brown's problems have become Ray J's problems. According to reports Ray J and his new wife Princess Love were headed for a romantic vacation in Australia when his Visa was denied because he was linked to Chris Brown's latest arrest. Adding insult to injury everything is already paid for, from the plane tickets to the hotels, and they even had a few hosting gigs lined up.

Chris Brown's Concert Promoter Hit With $3,600,000 Lawsuit Over Cancelled Australia And New Zealand Concerts



Chris Brown

Chris Brown's promoter, Castor and Ford Agency Pty Ltd, has been hit with a $3,600,000 (2,700,000 U.S. Dollars) lawsuit in Australia, filed by Westgate Entertainment Pty Ltd, over his cancelled concert series. Brown announced tour dates in Australia and New Zealand and began selling tickets, but unadvisedly did so before obtaining a visa. 

This was a significant financial risk, as Brown is a felon from the Rihanna domestic violence case. Protesters demanded the governments block Brown's entry into Australia and New Zealand, rendering him unable to obtain visas. Brown filed an appeal, which was also denied. Brown and another concert promoter have been sued in the Philippines for cancelling a New Years eve show and keeping the $1,000,000 a church group paid as a deposit.

Brown's business is not being handled correctly. The concert cancellations will make it far more difficult for Brown to obtain the necessary touring insurance. It will also increase Brown's insurance premiums. There is also the risk it will make other concert promoters less inclined to work with him, costing him millions of dollars in revenue.

Chris Brown Australian tour cancellation sparks $3.6m lawsuit
 
6:02 pm March 31, 2016 - Legal action against US singer Chris Brown's Australian concert promoter has begun in Melbourne over last year's cancelled tour. The 26-year-old singer cancelled both his Australian and New Zealand tours after he was refused a visa to enter Australia in late 2015 on character grounds. 

There was a groundswell of support for a petition that called on the government to block the R&B star from visiting the country because he was convicted in 2009 of assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna. A writ filed in the Victorian Supreme Court on Wednesday by Westgate Entertainment Pty Ltd against Castor and Ford Agency Pty Ltd (CAFA)claims it is owed more than $3.6 million... 

Court documents say an agreement between Westgate and CAFA was reached in June 2015, which would see Westgate contribute 50 per cent of all expenses and costs associated with the tour. Under that deal Westgate would be repaid that money in full and also receive 50 per cent of tour profits. More than $2.6 million was paid by Westgate before the December concerts were cancelled, the writ says...

Chris Brown Australia And New Zealand Tour Cancelled As Government Denies His Visa Declination Appeal


Chris Brown

The Ticketek Australia website today announced that singer Chris Brown's planned concert tour of Australia and New Zealand that was scheduled to take place December 2015 has been cancelled. Brown will lose millions of dollars from the cancellations (tour tickets and merchandising), paid appearances and music sales it would generate.

Brown's initial visa application was denied in September 2015. He was given the option of an appeal that had to be lodged within 28-days from the date of declination (Chris Brown Advertises Tickets On Sale To Australia And New Zealand Tour Despite Visa Ban). However, Brown's appeal has been denied. He and his promoter lost money by putting the shows in New Zealand and Australia on sale and booking venues with associated costs.

Previously, the Judiciary Report wrote it is not a good idea booking concerts and paid appearances in foreign nations without the necessary visas. Promoters cannot assume a nation will let them and or their artist enter each respective nation. This rule is even more relevant when the artist has a criminal record. Major world governments generally do not allow people with felony convictions into their nations (with the exception of select nations). Drug offenses are particularly frowned upon by government visa offices.

6 hrs · UPDATE: Chris Brown: December Shows Cancelled. Statement from Chris Brown’s Promoter: Chris Brown’s December 2015 tour in both Australia and New Zealand will not take place...


Chris Brown's Australian Tour Has Been Canceled

1 hour ago - Chris Brown's planned tour of Australia and New Zealand, originally scheduled for later this month, has been canceled. Billboard reports that a tour promoter confirmed the news today, announcing canceled dates in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Brisbane. The news follows reports in September that the Australian government denied Brown's visa application due to "character grounds," an apparent reference to his history of domestic violence. (Australia also kept Floyd Mayweather out of the country earlier this year for the same reason.)

The tour cancelation announcement noticeably didn't cite the rejected visa application and promised to double down on rescheduled performance dates. "Mr Brown and the promoters both remain positive that the tour will take place in the near future," a statement from the promoter said. "Mr Brown wishes to express his deepest gratitude to the fans for their support and looks forward to a successful tour in the near future."

Chris Brown Advertises Tickets On Sale To Australia And New Zealand Tour Despite Visa Ban

Chris Brown Makes Plea To Enter Australia


Chris Brown

R&B singer Chris Brown tweeted out an item on Twitter telling his fans concert tickets for his “One Hell Of A Nite” tour are available for purchase. However, if you have been following Brown’s visa woes you will know he has been formally denied entry into New Zealand and Australia. The latter gave him the option of making an appeal within 28-days.


Brown made a plea to the Australian government via Twitter stating, “The youth don’t listen to parents nor do they listen to PSA’s. The power that we have as Entertainers can change lives. My life mistakes should be a wake up call for everyone. Showing the world that mistakes don’t define you. Trying to prevent spousal abuse. I would be more than grateful to come to Australia to raise awareness about domestic violence. I’m not the pink elephant in the room anymore.”

Chris Brown Denied Australian Visa With The Option Of An Appeal



Chris Brown

As was expected due to statements made in the press, the Australian government has denied singer Chris Brown a visa to tour the nation as apart of his “One Hell Of A Nite” concert series (Chris Brown To Be Barred From Entering Australia As His Criminal Record Continues To Cost Him Tens Of Millions Of Dollars). Brown is a felon, after pleading guilty in the 2009 Rihanna domestic violence case, in lieu of serving jail time. Brown was sentenced to 5-years probation, which he completed this year.

Brown now has 28 days to file an appeal, challenging the government's statements, on why he deems he is morally fit to receive a visa to Australia. Women’s groups have been protesting his planned visit. There is also a petition calling for Brown to be barred from Australia. These events have worked against him. However, Brown is on social networking telling his fans he will be in Australia soon.

Chris Brown Barred From Entering New Zealand Leading To Cancellation Of Tour Date


Chris Brown

Chris Brown has been denied a visa to New Zealand, after announcing a tour date in the nation. Brown, who has a history as a convicted felon, stemming from the Rihanna domestic violence case and misdemeanors that occurred since that time regarding men, was forced to cancel the scheduled stop in New Zealand that was announced as apart of his "One Hell Of A Nite" concert tour.

Brown has been legally barred from entering Canada, Britain and Australia, among other nations, over his criminal record. However, this is not specific to him, as it is standard procedure in large world nations, including Brown's native America, regarding people convicted of felonies seeking to enter other nations.

Floyd Mayweather Denied Visa To Australia Due To Criminal Domestic Violence Jail Record


Floyd Mayweather is scheduled to fight Manny Pacquiao on May 2, 2015 in America

Champion boxer, Floyd Mayweather, has been denied entry into Australia, due to his criminal record in the Josie Harris domestic violence case, where he was sent to jail for beating the mother of his children in the presence of their kids. Mayweather was scheduled to make two appearances in Australia concerning business ventures and attend a charity event to raise money. However, the Australian Immigration Department refused to grant Mayweather a visa.

Immigration Minister, Peter Dutton stated, "A visa has not been granted in this case. The government takes very seriously its role in protecting the Australian community from the risk of harm by non-citizens who engage in criminal conduct and or conduct that is of serious concern. Visa applicants must demonstrate they are of good character, as required under the character test in the Migration Act 1958, before they are granted a visa. I am aware of Mr. Mayweather’s background - both in terms of his professional success as well as his criminal history - as has been extensively reported in the United States and Australian media. In making character decisions, a range of factors are taken into account. This can include consideration of both a person’s criminal history as well as their general conduct over a continuum of time, to reach an assessment as to whether they are of good character.”

Recently, singer Chris Brown was denied entry into Canada twice, due to his criminal record in relation to the Rihanna domestic violence case. Rapper Snoop Dogg was denied entry into Britain due to his arrest record for murder (acquitted) as well as drug possession. Many countries of the world, including the United States, have stringent rules regarding visa applicants and the requirement they not be felons or convicted of violent or drug related crimes, even if the drug crimes are misdemeanors, as opposed to the more serious felonies.

Government Lies About Not Putting Political Pressure On Companies Regarding Wikileaks

Eric Holder

Attorney General, Eric Holder, flat out lied to the world yesterday in stating, the government did not put pressure on companies such as Visa, Mastercard, Pay Pal and Amazon, among others, to discontinue services to the whistleblower website, Wikileaks, over very embarrassing classified documents the outfit published to the world.

Representatives from a few of the companies concerned, came forward stating they bowed to political pressure and terminated Wikileaks accounts. The original government whistle blower, Daniel Ellsberg, has supported Wikileaks and recently stated, the dirty tactics being used against its founder, Julian Assange, were employed against him as well during the Watergate scandal.

One thing's for sure, the government corruption playbook on how to neutralize innocent people that uncover and won't stand for criminal wrongdoing has not changed and is as evil as ever. It is usually a full on criminal attack on the innocent target's home, mortgage, job/business, family, personal life, health and life.

It is a disgusting and appalling campaign, featuring a government and corporate cabal of criminal conduct that would make the devil blush. It is going to break Washington beyond redemption one day if the government does not stop practicing said neutralization scheme against innocent people. Washington is going to pull that on the wrong person one day and face stunning and irrevocable international sanctions world history will never forget. As usual, the government never knows when to quit.

U.S. says did not pressure companies on Wikileaks

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said on Friday that the U.S. government had not pressured companies to stop working with the WikiLeaks website, which has released sensitive U.S. diplomatic and military documents.

"We have not pressured anybody to do anything," Holder said at a news conference in San Francisco when asked if the government had tried to influence companies, including Amazon.com, which quit hosting the WikiLeaks site...

"Amazon.co­m Inc. forced WikiLeaks to stop using the U.S. company's computers to distribute embarrassing State Department communications and other documents, WikiLeaks said Wednesday.
