Rosie O'Donnell Responds to My Chris Brown Blog

I was watching the view today. The guest was Chris Noth. He has been accused of beating his ex, model, Beverly Johnson AND she's suing him. It was never brought up. Why?

Racist? It becomes racist only when Ms O'Donnell brings it up. Brown should have to carry his CRIME with him through life and it should be inscribed on his tombstone.

I pictured Robin with a knife that day, stabbing at him for 'the story',,,, I THINK GMA messed up big time. Chris Brown should be allowed to move on.

Rosie IS the gay Oprah!

Haiku explanation for a conversation that requires depth? Depth was missing. Anyone can say "have compassion". That's easy.

i expected this to be real unforgiving, coming from rosie, and seeing it's about a man beating a woman..but rosie is showing compassion for both here.forgiving chris doesnt mean condoning what he did..but we owe it to him and rihanna to move on.

Cases like this are fun in their way because everyone's guilty of what the other side says: The scummy, ratings hungry, probably racist, borderline sociopathic, imo, TV show set him up, and he got off the air and acted out in rage again. He had every right to be angry: To tell the interviewer off or to get his pr people to release a statement about it later - without the property damage and rage, i.e., anger out of control. But that's in an ideal world.

I agree with Rosie, know one is condonig the actions of Chris two years ago. However he took responsibility lets all move on. Who are we to scrutinize every single action or reaction this young man has for the rest of his life..

"this is reality tv

i have no desire to b right"

and someone is worried about this enough to argue? She's a mess. Her fight with Trump was pretty cool but she's basically a big ball of rage.

Brown says he takes full responsibility for what happened. Maybe part of that is the loss of his career? Taking responsibility is all or nothing.

What's with the e e cummings writing style? The layout was more interesting than the content...

FINISHING PREVIOUS COMMENT- consequences. Unfortunately celebrities do get special treatment as any other non-famous person would have been taken away in hand-cuffs.

There's no vile anger from the comments, "she's just saying she understands where it came from and why it happened" Let's cut to the chase once and for all. My last comment as you people are not seeing or choosing not to see Rosie's runaround "feelings".Do you think for one second if she was still on the view and he was on she would not have brought it up? Please!!! Also Rosie talks about trusting Robin, I know her, she is to be trusted. You and your tirades Rosie are not to be trusted, your outburst, your CLEAR lack of unpredictability Michael Musto was right in your show was great in the early years. That was CLEARLY a different person. You say "he went back to the dressing room -and cursed and yelled and threw some furniture arounda chair hit a window - it broke - no one was hurthe took off his shirt - and walked away from the studio". I work there in the hair and makeup department so no it did not happen like that. He through the ONLY FUCKING OUT OF CONTROL TEMPER TANTRUM, with VIOLENCE. He RIPPED his shirt off, not "he took off his shirt" folded it and put it away too right? Also "he walked away from the studio", yeah right!!! He ran his ass out so fucking fast followed by his posse. ABC should have had call the police and him taken to JAIL. But no, fame let's uncivilized dangerous behavior go without the consequences of their actions all too often. Why you Rosie are choosing to play this down is beyond me.... I know "its how you feel".AND YES WE ARE ALL BROWN CHRIS, JACKSON, MICHAEL and so on. We are all our own person and his reaction was NOT Robin's fault, his and his only. Yes we are human blah blah blah. Fact's are Fact's not how you feel..Rosie stand up and stop sugar coating it, choose something worth talking about, like your friend Madonna's All Girl Academy in Malawi that never happened. Let's deal with REAL issues that HELP people who truly need it. Believe it or not I have a non-profit called HELPfromNYC.org to help impoverished people all over the world. HELP stands for Humanitarian Efforts Lifting People. Let's put more focus on people who have no basic human needs. Watch my documentary and then make a conclusion about me, I don't make much money and saved $20,000 to go to Africa to help real issues.. I'm just stating how I feel. Are you a Gemini Rosie?

I will not be back, I don't even go on computers and someone sent me the link and it got me work up as Robin is a COMPASSIONATE person and I felt the need to say what I feel, just like you...Best, really,Michael Van Burger

Love her thoughts, she is dead on....we are all human........

Wow! The vile anger coming from the comments is amazing! Rosie isn't condoning Chris's actions she is just saying she understands where it came rom and why it happened. And yes, we have been conditioned to believe the angry black man myth, and there is a disportionate amount of black men in prison. Chris Brown was lied to and ambushed. Looks like he does need a refresher on the anger management issue and learn how to deal with someone who insists on pushing your buttons. Hopefully he will continue to grow and deal with the help of therapy. I wish him peace.

You go, girl!!!!!! You nailed it in your response. I hate the way people TRY to misinterpret you!!!! I am so glad you don't let them get by with it!!!! I love your vision and the good you do by pointing out the plain facts. When you first came on the View...I have to say I was a Republican. Your ability to verbalize things and enlighten with the truth totally changed my vision and way of thinking. I am proud to say that you won me over to the liberal side!!!! Keep on - keeping on!!! I so wish you would have a TV show in which you could voice your opinion with no restrictions! I know the topics you would bring to light would be so enlightening!!!! Luv you, Rosie

NO EXCUSE ROSE, COME ON.....STOP ALREADY.... You know the BULLSHIT POLITICS at ABC, ROBIN was doing her JOB.....YES, JOB.. It's not the VIEW!!! I work there, see it all, know it all. I know this is how you feel but there are certain EXPECTATIONS and of course PROTOCOL. You know that first hand. I am a fan of yours, I even sat next to you once at a play and we talked. I just read your book and LOVED it. Robin is a KIND, LOVING human being and would not have asked unless PUSHED!!! She's not YOU! I'm just saying he has to accept his behavior for what is thrown at him regardless.. Yes he's 21 but when you want ATTENTION and FAME you pay a price, exposure of your PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE!!! I know in time he will handle it differently but SORRY, why are you not bringing up MADONNA responsibility for opening up the girls academy in Malawi? She's your friend, that's why. That is MUCH MORE OF AN ISSUE THAN YOU TALKING ABOUT ROBIN'S QUESTIONS TO CHRIS BROWN. COME ON? REALLY? Anyway I think you got what you were looking for which is ATTENTION, conscious or unconsciously? What do you think?I do like you, I know you don't care but I am a fan of your inner strength and suffering. I have it too.Good luck with your talk show....Michael Van Burger

What I really respect is Rosie's insightful approach that a bully is also a victim, whose remorse does not translate well in the public eye, but yet it is ultimately a healing in the public eye that ultimately must happen if he is going to recover from what he does that is so negative and why. Right now Chris Brown is continuing his downward spiral.

Times like this that makes it hard to love some people. Rosie, you missed it, dear.

jesus, who gives a fuck, they'll both be memories in 5 years. she'll be that tramp with the red hair who couldn't say umbrella, and he'll....wait what does he do?

Oh Christ....here we go with the ersatz haiku again. What is it with this "faux poetry" style of writing? I think it's a mask for bad grammar and writing skills and makes me want to spit food.

It's all based on the fact that Chris Brown's CD is selling. Big time. I turned the channel when he appeared on Dancing with the Stars. Interesting that Rosie doesn't mention anything about Adam Lambert being banned from GMA and DWTS because he kissed a boy. Anger = Good. Kisses = Bad.

Rosie, give it a rest. From someone with anger control issues, ya don't really come across as credible. Love you but you do act like a fat person sometimes, all will and push, push, push until the rest of us give up in exhaustion.

If it's any consolation to Chris and his enablers/defenders: Charlie got booed off the stage :)Charlie Sheen booed off stage in live debut

Agence France-PresseFirst Posted 11:53:00 04/03/2011

Filed Under: Celebrities, Television, Entertainment (general)DETROIT – Troubled US actor Charlie Sheen was booed off stage Saturday in a chaotic start to a live show mini-tour, a month after being sacked from his megahit TV show.

Fans started walking out within 20 minutes of the start of the "Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is not an Option" debut show in Detroit, which ended after barely an hour when Sheen failed to return following a musical break.

"It was the worst thing I've ever seen in my entire life," said Jennifer Pyryt, 26, as as fans streamed out of the Fox theater, many of them booing and doing thumbs-down signs. "The show was horrible."

"I don't think it was put together very well," added Mary, 41, saying things started going wrong when the unpredictable Sheen tried to make a joke about Detroit's reputation.

"If he had not mentioned Detroit as a crack town, or the stealing of cars…he turned a lot of people off," she said.

Sheen was sacked last month from the hit TV series "Two and a Half Men" after criticizing its producers in a series of rambling media outbursts which Warner Brothers called the actor "dangerously self-destructive conduct."

The 45-year-old, son of actor Martin Sheen, then became an Internet sensation after launching a Twitter feed which now has 3.4 million followers, and an online webstreamed show, "Sheen's Korner."

At the same time he announced his plans for the live tour, which now has more than 20 scheduled dates over the next month, after tickets for the first gigs sold out within 18 minutes.

Before Saturday's Detroit show fans had sung Sheen's praises, wearing "Warlock" T shirts and shouting his "Winning" mantra for television cameras gathered outside the theater.

But the mood afterwards was a mixture of disappointment and anger, with some fans talking about asking for their money back.

"Charlie's a big fraud. It was unbelievable, it was the worst show I've seen in my life," said another man, declining to give his name, as he and other headed off into the night.

Sheen's next show is due Sunday evening in Chicago.

Rosie, stop talking like you are the white Oprah.

Chris Brown is a thug. He beat Rhianna and will prob beat other women and men before long. If he had CLASS or any shred of intelligence he would realize that what he did would follow him for the foreseeable future due to the nature of the press. Instead of talking about it simply and moving on he behaved like an a**hole.

His temper tantrum and glass smashing proves that anger management did nothing.

I am surprised he did not call Robin a "f*cking dyke" and punch her out.

dear rosieyou should definitely try eating less,barf and fartbodega vendetta

It seems like Rosie is being more compassionate to Chris Brown for his violence than she was to Barbara Walters for her behavior during an altercation Rosie had with the Donald.

Harsh picture.She had an agenda running through her comment seems to me.Oh, the burden of celebrity, no one understands.Bull. His temper tantrum could have escalated to horrible disfigurement or worse for someone under the flying glass.Sorry, no excuse for repeated violence.

Rosie conveniently glossed over the fact that there was significant glass that fell down onto the street/sidewalk. "But no one got hurt?" It's easy to say that, when that falling glass could have easily caused great injury to an innocent person. "But no one got hurt"? As far as people being paraded on TV for crimes...usually the reason is....they committed a crime! Robin Roberts has no earthly reason to "have Chris Brown's back." Good gosh, talk about a sense of entitlement! Maybe "some" celebrities get used to that soft treatment? (E.T. anyone?) Maybe Rosie would feel different about Chris Brown if SHE had been on the receiving end of that fallen glass?

There are no strains of racism. Is is unreasonable to hold someone accountable for their past behavior? Is it unreasonable to ask if they have learned and grown? I don't think so. Many people no longer hold the youth accountable so they never learn from their mistakes. He took anger management classes but it does not seem as if he has learned anything. If he wants people to look past the incident with Rihanna, then maybe he should show growth and maturity. I believe that in this case Ms. O'Donnell was irresponsible in raising the spectre of racism. She has trivialized the actual incidents of racism that still occurs. And for that I am very disappointed in her.
