So far so good for singer Chris Brown’s probation.
CNN affiliate KABC reports that Brown received the thumbs up in Los Angeles on Thursday from Judge Patricia M. Schnegg during his fourth progress hearing.
The singer was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to perform 180 days of community service and attend domestic violence counseling after pleading guilty to assaulting then-girlfriend singer Rihanna.
“You’re doing very well on probation,” the judge told Brown. “You’re doing a great job.”
Brown attended the hearing with his lawyer, Mark Geragos, but did not speak.

Yeah Chris, we are all very proud of you for not beating the daylight out of ANOTHER woman while on probation. Way to go buddy!
Thats true Bi#(H-Dog – that work should be left for haters like you.
another loser american thinking everyone should be locked up for everything. do you know that the US has more people in jail than any other country, including Iran and China? Lock em up. Half the people are in for probation violations or tecnicalities. Ignorant Americans. If the law says so they are guilty, and idiots like you like cheer leaders, lock up em, not enough time!
Well, at least he hasn't been CAUGHT beating another woman....yet. If he was capable of doing it once, you can bet your bottom dollar he'll do it again. Every statistic on domestic abuse backs that up, and no amount of spin, PR or powder blue sweaters will change that.
@Robert Iran and China's execution rate is super high therefore they would have fewer people imprisoned than we have.
no doubt - he will strike again
Yeh...right.....and Rihanna has put out a video with Eminem, which is all about violence in a relationship. I saw an interview with her regarding the controversy surrounding this video and she said, she wanted to be part of a "hit" record and laughed at how it might be conceived. I'm not condoning what he did....but, what she did doing that video, speaks volume!
Its funny how folks like B-dog talk mad ish about Chris Brown but I gaurantee he's one of them folks that be going around talking about how much he like his music...stop with the hypocrisy and be real with yourself...so you can run and tell dat homeboy
Hey Robert, why dont you put these american nuts in your mouth?
I am happy for him. At least he is trying to do good in his life. Hope he is able to move on with his career. I will be going to see his new movie.
Yeah I know what you mean... I wanna slap a b**** around plenty but we gotta control ourselves these days. lol
Good job chris,I was startin to wonder if his skin color was one the issue that make ppl bring him down like that,you should never hit a woman or a man because violence is nt the answer.Lately rihanna s behavior is questionable..but ppl should give him another chance like they do to sharlie,or robert.they not even tryin like chris and ppl already let it go..If God never forgive his paradise would have stay empty, theres no big or small sin,so we all do bad in God s eyes so let s move on and pray for ppl like sharlie or mel who seem nt remorsful at all.
Some people don't know they can lose control and hit someone until they are around someone that is toxic for them – someone that won't shut up even when they see they are making the other person more angry.
As soon as the two separate, this bad behavior will end.
With luck, they will both learn from their mistakes and find someone more compatible.
Keep dreaming!
If he hit one, he'll hit the next. Just wait for it.
Um, no...
If you get so angry at someone that you feel like hitting them (and your life is not threatened) then you have problems, sir.
If you rationalize said behavior, you have even more problems.
Dawn – Not dreamin' – it's fact. But if he hooks up with another partner that can't shut up when argument is getting too heated, yes it could happen again. Hell it could happen to anyone that's around a crazy ass nut.
Hitting another is not about losing control. It is about stepping up control. No one makes you hit them, you choose to hit them. No one makes you get mad, angry, you choose to get mad, angry. Take responsibility for your behavior, your choices. Chris Brown is being held accountable and that is the right thing to do. Unfortunately with Charlie Sheen getting off easy, the message it sent, is it is okay to put a knife to your wife's throat. Charlie Sheen's behavior is that of a batterer, just like Chris Brown's. Sheen deserved the same as Brown, yet he got off easy. What is that about? As if we don't know!
Amen!
it's called toxic relationships.
Pretty sure the most compatible companion for Brown would be a punching bag at this point.
Yeah Chris, we are all very proud of you for not beatig the daylight out of ANOTHER woman while on probation. Way to go buddy!
You're doing so much better than that Charlie Sheen guy who seems to abuse every woman that he comes in contact with, yet while you are the posterboy for abusers he's chalking up $2 million per episode on his sitcom. YET NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT WHAT AN *SS HE IS...just you.
Not to condone what Sheen did, but CS only threatened his wife (I can't believe I just said "only"). Brown beat the living cr@p of of Rihanna AND he tried to make excuses for himself for months afterwards. Charlie, at the very least, said he was sorry and tried to get help. Brown considered himself the victim and still does to this day.
Exactly! There will be those who rationalize that folks like Charlie and Mel should be forgiven while Chris should rot in jail. They live in bubbles.
1st of all... Sheen is a d-bag and I don't watch his stupid show.
I'll tell you why people are STILL hating on CB and not on Sheen.
A) We saw the pictures man! This wasn't just a punch, this was a BEATING. There were no pics of what Sheen did.
B) CB got HORRIBLE advice on how to handle things after his arrest. You don't go to Miami the next weekend and party it up and get PHOTOGRAPHED smiling and laughing on Jet Ski's! You don't set up interviews to talk about what happened and then say it's private and you don't want to talk about it. You certainly don't go back into the studio and release an album and then start whining that you are being hated on! If he had a good manager they would have handled it better.
WHO CARES if we didn't see what Sheen did, he still hit a woman. No one saw the pictures of Chris Brown's face after Rihanna beat him repeatedly with a stiletto in the face, did they? No because any and every opportunity Rihanna has to throw Chris under the bus, people like you just eat it up like its nothing. And why are you judging CB's life to begin with? Do you have the ability to walk on water? No, so leave it to the one who's opinion actually matters. You aren't famous, and you aren't Rihanna so get the hell over it.
Another thing his "team" did wrong. If his face was messed up from an ALLEGED shoe beating HE should have released those pics. Maybe no pics cuz it didn't happen?
That weekend in Miami you are talking about B-dog was spent with Rihanna. Rihanna hit Crhis and ended up getting the worst end of the deal because Chris is stronger. We didn't see pics of Chris either. Their relationship was like Em's new video. A woman shouldn't hit a man, and a man shouldn't hit a woman. If you hit someone, expect to get hit back. No one is allowed to put their hands on anyone in that manner. There are many victims of domestic abuse and if you call a woman's shelter you can get many stories of real abuse. Chris and Rihanna were two idiots fighting and this was no domestic abuse. Rihanna is not the face of domestic abuse and if the press and police didn't get involved she would still be with Chris. Sorry, but I have no sympathy for women who get off hitting their men and forcing them to hit back so they can release their own anger (in what people now call toxic relationship). My sympthathy is for the woman who gets slapped around by their men and they can't even fight back. My sympathy is for the woman who gets slapped around by her man because another man dared to look at her, the woman who gets slapped around because she didn't have dinner on the table on time, the woman who gets slapped around because a stupid man is insecure about his manhood.
When you young and famous u can caught on hollywood fame and act stupid like LL or Chris etc ,but we saw pictures of sharlie s previous case and it wasnt prety either, when I saw rihannas face I felt so bad for her,but the questionS is,how innocent she is?and why we never see Chris mugshot? She went back to him until the medias n Oprah go crazy and I beleive the only reason she blame everything on chris is because of her career,have you see Rihanna lately?she looks crazy .If Rihanna one side of the story r 100% true she needs councelin cause only a crazy woman would accept bein in a relatioship like that. icing on the cake, nowshe s glamorize domestic violence.
He is a THUG.
He aint slap no bichiz
So he gets an article because he didn't break the law? That's news?! Don't we all deserve the same accolades then? CNN, you can start at the bottom with the preschoolers who ate all their vegetables! Quite an accomplishment I hear!
Praised for not hitting? I guess actually doing something positive does not gain acknowledgement anymore...except by God
Praised for following the law and reforming. But, you think a 19yr old doesn't deserve a second chance.
Well Rhianna does "Like the way it hurts" Seriously why would you be part of a song like that after what you have been through– boy money talks............
I wonder if he would be praised in federal, pound-me-in-the-a$$ prison, not just probation?
What a lot of people don't realize is that just because he made one mistake, everyone's up his butt on everything he says/does. He obviously is sorry for what he did, and I don't think that he'd do it again.
I think that Chris is a good man at heart, and I'll never stop believing that.
You're acting like you know him. How do you know his heart?
