Chris Brown’s Stepfather: “Don’t Make Me the Scapegoat!”
Could domestic abuse run in Chris Brown‘s family? His stepfather Donnelle Hawkins says no, despite accusations the singer has brought against him in the past.
“I never once raised my hand to his mother,” Donnelle tells OK! Magazine. “It just never happened.”
So why the allegations?
“I believe that Chris is making these allegations because it is a way of not accepting responsibility of his own actions. Somebody has to be at fault, the scapegoat, and who else but me?” Donnelle claims. “He blames me for taking his mom away from his dad, even though it didn’t happen like that. Whatever issues he has, whether he thinks they come from me or not, he needs to get help for, get counseling,” Hawkins said.
Hawkins’ profession of innocence might be harmed by the fact that he’s currently blind from accidentally shooting himself in the eyes during an argument with Brown’s mother.
In 2007, Brown alleged that he had watched his mother Joyce Brown Hawkins get beaten by her husband Donnelle when he was a child.
“He used to hit my mom…He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself,” Chris said. “I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, ‘I’m just gonna go crazy on him one day…’ I hate him to this day.”
Brown, 19, is currently under investigation for an incident that occurred over the weekend in which he is alleged to have beaten and choked his girlfriend Rihanna, 20, into unconsciousness.
A recent report suggests that Rihanna may have been experiencing physical abuse at the hands of Brown since December of last year.
everyone keep your hands to yourself & we wont have this problem. Also watch what you do in front of your kids, it will affect them in some way!
wow. what a sad story. i don’t think it alleviates any of the guilt of what he presumably did to rihanna. he needs to step up and take some responsibility.
who the hell does he think he is? just because he’s famous it gives him the right to lay a hand on anyone, go to hell chris brown i spit on you!!!!
Poor little Chris…sniff,sniff,boo-hoo! He’s a punk! So, let me get this right.. I watched my mom get beat (maybe) so since it hurt to watch the violence, I think that I need to beat women too, to make myself feel better. Give me a break! He’s a boy that needs to be treated like he treats others. I’m tired of hearing these idiots blame everyone else. No matter what a woman says or does, never justifies any abuse. What kind of man let’s himself get so beyond his own control that he resorts to beating a woman. He’s extremely weak, not to be able to have control over his emotions. Keep perpetuating the stereo type Brown… nice job!
luv u chris …Ur step dad has no rite and i hate him aswell that jelous mother f*cker
