Lesson number one: Never mess with Oprah

Lesson number two: Learn what not to say in a public statement to Oprah

Okay, so Chris Brown’s music career is over because he made an outrageous mistake when he attacked and assaulted his then girlfriend Rihanna – and at the cost of his career, we truly hope he has learned from that mistake. But there is one other mistake that will surely be the final nail in his fame coffin – taking on Oprah!

After Oprah’s episode on the topic of domestic violence, which Oprah dedicated to “all the Rihannas of the world”  Chris Brown felt as if it was a “slap in the face” and added “I commend Oprah on being like, ‘This is a problem,’ but it was a slap in my face. I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school. She could’ve been more helpful, like, ‘OK, I’m going to help both of these people out.”

Alright – wrong thing to say about Oprah, especially after you’ve pled guilty to your assault charges – or at any time for that matter. Not only was his performance at her school in Africa charity related – they even paid him a small honorarium for his time. 

After the Big O caught wind of his antics, her rep fired back with a statement “Oprah is very appreciative that Chris Brown performed at her school, but she takes domestic abuse very seriously. She hopes he gets the counseling he needs.”

So what is this lesson all about? Don’t be a douche - beating up a woman and then claiming that Oprah’s comments felt like “a slap in the face” was just the wrong choice of words and most certainly directed at the wrong person. We too hope Chris gets the help he needs…
