Last week it was Olympic gold-winner swimmer Michael Phelps who lost his Kellogg’s endorsement and was suspended for three months from competition. The young swimmer made a public apology for smoking pot at a college party. This week it’s Chris Brown, arrested for felony criminal threats, with suspended advertisements with Wrigley. He has a high-powered attorney on his side: Mark Geragos, who has defended the legendary Michael Jackson as well as Scott Petersen and Winona Ryder. Chris Brown may have hit his girlfriend and well known artist Rihanna during an argument last weekend.
Robyn Rihanna Fenty, also known to fans as Rihanna, suffered bruises and bite marks.
Her boyfriend Chris Brown is still under investigation in the alleged assault. Chris Brown is one of the biggest-selling performers in pop music. After posting $50,000 bail, Brown left the police station before 9 p.m. Brown stopped his silver, rented Lamborghini on North June Street in Hancock Park during the feud, the two got out, and the argument escalated, according to sources.
Rihanna was scheduled to perform her song “Disturbia”, the sixth best-selling digital track of the year, at the ceremony that night. Instead, she was replaced by soul singer Al Green and country singer-guitarist Keith Urban. Brown was also scheduled for a solo performance.
The celebrity couple was seen together at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy gala the Saturday night, but neither one of them attended the Grammys on Sunday.
