Even under the spotlight by rumors involving his marriage to Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber again generates controversy – this time, leaving publicly in support of Chris Brown, arrested last week for a serious accusation of assault.
The Canadian commented “Welcome to Home” in a photo published by R&B singer by leaving prison last Wednesday (21), after paying a millionaire bail.
Chris Brown, 35, was arrested on the 15th at a luxury hotel in Manchester, England, as a result of an alleged attack in February 2023. According to music producer Abraham Diaw, the artist beat him violently inside the tape nightclub, with punches, kicks and a bottle of tequila in his head, which made him unconscious.
The producer says he was hospitalized in serious condition and currently issues a lawsuit against Brown, demanding $ 16 million in compensation – a pricing of $ 84 million.
The American singer was released after paying a bail of £ 5 million (almost $ 33 million), but continues to face the British justice. As part of the conditions to respond in freedom, he is prohibited from contacting the alleged victim, attending the place of aggression and must deliver his passport whenever he is not in professional commitments. The next hearing was scheduled for June 20 amid the tour that celebrates its 20 years of career.
Bieber’s support message, published in the photo comments section in which Brown appears leaving a private jet, caused reactions divided between fans and followers. Many remembered that this is not the first time Justin has been in favor of his friend. In 2019, he caused controversy by comparing him to legends such as Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur, asking the artist to be “most respected” despite the history of violence.
Brown has a past full of aggressive episodes. In 2009, he was convicted of assaulting the then girlfriend Rihanna. Since then, he has accumulated a series of police records: he has been involved in fights with artists such as Drake and Frank Ocean, was arrested for assault on Washington in 2013, and received an order for restricting ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran, who accused him of constant threats.
