Days after NFL player Ray Rice was fired by his
club, Baltomore Ravens, after a leaked video showed him assaulting his
then-fiancée (and now wife) Janay Rice, Chris Brown, who received 5
years probation in 2009 after assaulting Rihanna, has spoken out about
the consequences and
triggers of domestic violence in an interview with MTV News. Continue...
Speaking with Sway about anger, domestic violence and what's he's learnt, Chris Brown said;
"I think it’s all about the choices you make. With me, I deal with a lot
of anger
issues from my past – not knowing how to express myself verbally and, at
the same time, not knowing how to cope with my emotions and deal with
them and understand what they are. Help is great. I still talk to my
therapist twice a week. It helps me...if I'm frustrated, if I'm dealing
with something, to vent, to say what I'm going through so I can hear
from an actual clinical person. Who tells you, 'This is how you should
react,’ or 'it’s good to feel this way because
feelings, emotions, and energy are supposed to come and go. It’s not
supposed to stay
there; you’re not supposed to keep it inside because it’ll bottle up and
you’ll become a monster."
"Dealing with my anger issues, understanding myself, the life I've been
through and where I'm headed and where I want to be, it's really helped
me to really focus.
"For somebody going through that situation or anybody dealing with it,
it's all about the choices you make and how you control your anger
"To Ray, or anybody else — because I’m not better than the next man — I
can just say I’ve been down that road. I deal with situations
and I’ve made my mistakes too, but it’s all about how you push forward
and how you control yourself."
