Michael Jackson Accusers Wade Robson and James Safechuck Speak Out

Wade Robson and James Safechuck

The two men at the center of Leaving Neverland, an upcoming HBO documentary about sexual abuse allegedly perpetrated by Michael Jackson, are speaking out. Wade Robson and James Safechuck sat down for an interview with Gayle King on CBS This Morning, released Thursday, and shared disturbing descriptions about the alleged abuse they suffered at Jackson’s hands.

They also rebuked fiery denials from members of the Jackson family—who have gone on the offensive about the documentary, claiming that both men are simply looking for money and attention. (Before his death in 2009, Jackson repeatedly denied allegations that he sexually abused children; he settled one case in 1994 after a civil lawsuit, and was acquitted in 2005 after being indicted on four counts of molesting a minor, among other charges.)

“It’s an old argument,” Safechuck said in the interview, referring to the family’s accusations. Regardless, he continued, he’s “fighting back for little James. Nobody fought for me as a kid, but I’m old enough now to fight for myself.”

Both Robson and Safechuck, who are now 36 and 41, respectively, were drawn into Jackson’s circle from a young age. Safechuck first met Jackson when he was cast opposite the singer in a Pepsi commercial, while Robson was a young dancing prodigy who appeared in several King of Pop music videos. Both claim that Jackson sexually abused them for years, with Robson claiming that he was abused from age 7 to 14. He said that Jackson slowly conditioned him for a physical relationship, being affectionate and touching him over his clothes until things eventually progressed. “A couple days prior to the abuse starting, he started touching me . . . There had been this development of physical closeness that was happening already that felt like a father, it just felt amazing,” Robson said.

Safechuck similarly claimed that his sexual relationship with Jackson began at an early age and progressed rapidly. “He introduced me to masturbation,” Safechuck said. “He said I taught him how to French kiss.” As a child, Safechuck said, he characterized theirs as a loving relationship before later realizing it was abusive. In a later part of the interview, he said that even today, he has “mixed feelings” about the singer. “There’s still a bit of love. It’s almost like a guilt for saying the truth, like I’ve betrayed him. I still have [that] old wiring,” he said. “My understanding of my relationship with him, it needs a lot of work.”

The Jackson estate has been on the offensive since the documentary first debuted at Sundance, slamming HBO with a $100 million lawsuit and citing the prestige network’s “reprehensible disparagement” of the late entertainer. The estate’s legal team has also claimed that Leaving Neverland director Dan Reed did not try hard enough to solicit a response from the Jackson estate to include in the film, thus creating an unfair portrait of the singer and his alleged behavior. The documentary does include video of Jackson verbally denying the allegations.

Robson in particular has also come under scrutiny by Jackson fans because of his decision to testify on Jackson’s behalf at the singer’s 2005 trial. Robson denied then that Jackson ever molested him. In the CBS interview, Robson addressed that decision, saying he wishes now that he had been ready to come forward and help the accuser: “I wish that I could have played a role in, at that point, stopping Michael from abusing however many other kids he did after that.” Safechuck, meanwhile, said he firmly believes “there are others out there” with abuse allegations against Jackson. “But I also don’t expect them to just come out now that we’re coming out. It’s such a difficult thing to do.”

It’s been so difficult that Robson said if he hadn’t become a father, he might not have come forward—something he also mentions in the documentary itself. “If I never had a son, I might still be in silence. I think there’s a really good chance,” Robson said. “Would I have taken this to my grave? I certainly planned on doing that,” Safechuck added later.

Ariana Grande and Ex-Boyfriend Big Sean Reunite

Ariana Grande seems to be on good terms with her ex-boyfriend Big Sean.

A source tells PEOPLE.COM that Grande, 25, recently spent time at an L.A. recording studio with the 30-year-old rapper.

The pop star and the rapper split in April 2015, after nearly nine months of dating

On Thursday, TMZ posted photos of the pair sitting together in a car outside of a recording studio in Los Angeles. The pair were joined in the vehicle by Grande’s dog Toulouse, who has recently made cameos in the pop star’s music videos for “7 rings” and “thank u, next.”
Reps for Grande and Sean did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

The exes, who split in April 2015 after nearly a year together, previously collaborated on three songs.

The pair first teamed up for Grande’s “Right There,” released on her debut album Yours Truly in 2013, followed by “Best Mistake,” which appeared on 2014’s My Everything. Grande was also featured on “Research,” from the rapper’s 2015 album Dark Sky Paradise.

Grande ended her engagement with fiancé Pete Davidson last October, while Sean recently split from singer Jhené Aiko.

Grande and the rapper were first linked in August 2014, when they were spotted sharing a kiss at a movie theater. Although the couple wasn’t afraid to pack on the PDA during their relationship, they called it quits in April 2015 after about nine months of dating due to a conflicting tour schedule, E! News reported at the time. In a joint statement, the pair said they “care deeply for each other and remain close friends.”

Shortly before their breakup, Sean gushed about his relationship with the singer to Ryan Seacrest, saying: “Ariana is very, very special. She’s very special to me.”

As one of Grande’s high-profile exes, Sean earned himself a mention in the singer’s smash hit “thank u, next” — and got an even cheekier shout out in the accompanying music video.

On the track, Grande sings: “Thought I’d end up with Sean / but he wasn’t a match.” But in the Mean Girls-inspired music video for the chart-topper, she had nothing but positive things to say about the rapper in her “Burn Book.” On the page dedicated to Big Sean (born Sean Michael Anderson), Grande said he was “so cute “and “so sweet” and “could still get it.”

Although Grande has yet to comment on the photos of her and Sean, this isn’t the first time the singer has been seen hanging out with following her breakup from Davidson.

In December, the singer shut down rumors that she had rekindled her romance with former backup dancer Ricky Alvarez after the pair were spotted in New York City together and had a funny back-and-forth about the lyrics she dedicated to him in “thank u, next.”

After commenting “these colors are sick” on a photo of Alvarez wearing a mustard yellow sweater and a blond buzzcut, the singer responded to a fan who demanded the full tea regarding their relationship status.
Grande then replied directly to the question, insisting, “we’re friends everyone take a big ol breather” next to a black heart emoji.

Seemingly hinting that a new relationship was the last thing on her mind, last month Grande wrote that she “probably” wouldn’t be dating “for the rest of the year.”

On New Year’s Day, the pop star joked with a fan about her dating life on Twitter — first by responding to a tweet that included a picture of an article titled, “Who is Ariana Dating NOW?!” with, “Can they tell me too?”

Then, when the fan joked in response, “Spoiler. It’s me!” Grande answered, “Spoiler for the rest of this year / probably my life: it’s no one. please refer back to this tweet for future questions.”

Grande’s reunion with the Big Sean comes after a particularly successful couple of weeks for Grande.

Her fifth album, thank u, next, topped the Billboard 200 chart for the second week in a row. And last week, three of Grande’s new singles topped the Hot 100 chart: “7 rings” at No. 1, “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored” at No. 2 and the title track at No. 3; the last time an artist simultaneously occupied the top three chart positions was when The Beatles did it in 1964.

The Grammy winner’s Sweetener World Tour kicks off March 18 in Albany, New York.

Michael Jackson's Estate Sues HBO for $100 Million Over Leaving Neverland Documentary

The late singer's estate is accusing HBO of breaching a non-disparagement clause in a 1992 contract the company had with Jackson

Michael Jackson‘s estate has filed a lawsuit against HBO over the planned broadcast of the bombshell documentary Leaving Neverland.

Two co-executors of Jackson’s estate and Optimum Productions are suing the network and its parent company, Time Warner, for $100 million, claiming that airing the two-part film — which centers on the late pop star’s alleged sexual abuse of minors — will violate a non-disparagement clause, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.

In the suit, the estate claim the film violates a clause in a 1992 contract, written up ahead of a televised concert that year — in which HBO agreed to not speak ill of Jackson.

In a statement obtained by PEOPLE, HBO said, “Despite the desperate lengths taken to undermine the film, our plans remain unchanged. HBO will move forward with the airing of Leaving Neverland, the two-part documentary, on March 3 and 4. This will allow everyone the opportunity to assess the film and the claims in it for themselves.”

“Michael Jackson is innocent. Period,” the lawsuit says in part, before referencing the 2005 criminal trial in which he faced multiple counts of child molestation, as well as additional grand jury charges including conspiracy involving child abduction, false imprisonment, and extortion. “In 2005, Michael Jackson was subjected to a trial — where rules of evidence and law were applied before a neutral judge and jury and where both sides were heard — and he was exonerated by a sophisticated jury.”

Wade Robson had testified in Jackson’s defense during his criminal trial, but in the Leaving Neverland documentary both he and James Safechuck alleged Jackson had molested them as boys. The lawsuit refers to both men as “admitted perjurers” who had “previously testified that Jackson had never touched them inappropriately in any manner whatsoever” only for them to “change their stories” by 2013 and 2014.

In the lawsuit, the estate calls the HBO documentary a “posthumous character assassination,” violating the non-disparagement terms of the 1992 contract.

“Ten years after his passing, there are still those out to profit from his enormous worldwide success and take advantage of his eccentricities. Michael is an easy target because he is not here to defend himself and the law does not protect the deceased from defamation, no matter how extreme the lies are.”

The lawsuit added, “The real victims here are the primary beneficiaries of the Estate, Michael’s three children, who are forced to endure this attack on their father, 10 years after they buried him, and when he has no chance to respond.”

Leaving Neverland was one of the most buzzed about films when it debuted at the Sundance Film Festival last month. A first look at the documentary was released earlier this week, including chilling allegations by Robson and Safechuck.

“The days were filled with magical, childhood adventure experiences. Playing tag, watching movies, eating junk food,” Robson said in the clip. “Anything you could ever want as a child.”

Through old videos and photos, Safechuck and Robson can be seen spending time with Jackson on private planes and at the singer’s Neverland Ranch.

But the clip quickly took a turn as Robson and Safechuck alluded to the disturbing allegations that Jackson abused them. “Secrets will eat you up. You feel so alone,” Safechuck said.

Added Robson: “He told me if they ever found out what we were doing, he and I would go to jail for the rest of our lives … I want to be able to speak the truth as loud as I had to speak the lie for so long.”

Jackson’s estate issued a statement to PEOPLE in January ahead of the Sundance premiere and blasted the documentary (directed and produced by Dan Reed) as a “pathetic attempt” to make money off of the singer.

“This is yet another lurid production in an outrageous and pathetic attempt to exploit and cash in on Michael Jackson,” the statement read. “Wade Robson and James Safechuck have both testified under oath that Michael never did anything inappropriate toward them. Safechuck and Robson, the latter a self-proclaimed ‘master of deception’, filed lawsuits against Michael’s Estate, asking for millions of dollars. Both lawsuits were dismissed.”

“This so called ‘documentary’ is just another rehash of dated and discredited allegations,” the statement continued. “It’s baffling why any credible filmmaker would involve himself with this project.”

Jackson was 50 years old when he was found dead on June 25, 2009, in his L.A. mansion and is survived by his three children: Prince Michael, 22, Paris, 20, and 17-year-old “Blanket,” who now goes by Bigi.

Leaving Neverland premieres March 3 and 4 on HBO.

Finally R. Kelly Officially Charged With 10 Counts Of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse

 

Charges have been filed against R. Kelly by the Cook County State’s Attorney. Find out what counts the singer’s been charged with here. 

 

 R. Kelly has officially been charged by the Cook County State’s Attorney with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse on Feb. 22, according to TMZ. This news comes a week after a grand jury met to review a sex tape showing a man who appears to be Kelly having sex with a minor that was submitted to authorities by Michael Avenatti. Over a dozen accusers reportedly came forward to testify to the grand jury, according to TMZ.

 As news surfaced of the charges against R. Kelly, attorney Michael Avenatti tweeted "it's over."
"After 25 years of serial sexual abuse and assault of underage girls, the day of reckoning for R Kelly has arrived," he wrote in a second tweet.

 

 On Feb. 21, attorney Gloria Allred held a press conference where two women, Latresa Scaff, 40, and Rochelle Washington, 39, stepped forward with their own claims against Kelly, according to Variety. When they were 15 and 16 respectively, the two women claim to have attended an R. Kelly concert in Baltimore in 1995 where Kelly’s security picked them out of the crowd and invited them on-stage. They were later invited to an after-party, where they were offered alcohol, marijuana and cocaine, according to the statement read by Gloria Allred. They were also invited to a hotel room, where Kelly allegedly entered with a shirt and jeans on, but with his genitals exposed. After saying that he wanted to have sex with the two of them, Washington turned him down and hid in a bathroom. Scaff claims that he allegedly had sex with her.

 Shot from the tape

We reported earlier how CNN reportedly saw the alleged sex tape handed over by Avenatti to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. At over 42 minutes long, the tape allegedly shows a man who appears to be Kelly engaging in sexual contact with an underage girl. Both the man in the video and the girl in question reportedly both refer to her genitals as 14 years old. Avenatti was given the tape by a client who he claims “knows the identity of the girl and R. Kelly.” While he’s been recently charged, R. Kelly has never been convicted of a crime. Steven Greenberg, Kelly’s lawyer, has said previously that Mr. Kelly “denies that he has engaged in any illegal conduct, of any kind whatsoever.”

Do you think its all over for R. Kelly, we will like to know what you think, comment below.

Offset Reveals: The No.1 Thing I'm Working On Is Fixing Back My Marriage To Cardi B

Love might not be completely dead. Cardi B has given Offset another chance after their brief split, and the Migos rapper has revealed the key issue they’re working on to make their marriage work.

While Lady Gaga has called things off with Christian Carino and Khloe Kardashian has kicked Tristan Thompson to the curve, the love between Offset, 27, and Cardi B, 26, continues on. The two briefly split at the end of 2018, but they were back together at the Grammys. Offset even gave Esquire an update on their relationship, while clueing the publication in what he and Cardi are doing to patch things up. “It’s been good. We’re being more open to each other, raising our baby and taking things slowly.”

That seems rather reasonable from the “Bad and Boujee” rapper. When Offset spoke to Esquire (the interview was published on Feb. 21) he and Cardi were still separated, and it was a “sensitive topic” during the chat. The couple had parted after Offset was accused of cheating yet again, with allegations of trying to plan a threesome with Summer Bunni and Cuban Doll driving a wedge between him and Cardi (he has denied the allegations.) It seems the “Bodak Yellow” rapper had a change of heart because her husband was by her side when she won Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammys.

“She feels he’s doing everything in his power to get their family back together for good, which is why she wanted to arrive with [Offset] and sit with him at the Grammys,” a source close to the rapper EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife.com. While Offset went overboard with lavish gifts in attempts to win Cardi back, the insider said it was not so much his words/gifts, but his actions that did it. “It’s the fact that he has been trying so hard to be with her…Offset loves Cardi and Cardi loves Offset and truly believes that their love is a one in a million kind of love.”

It seems being open is working. While the couple attended Dan Bilzerian’s Valentine’s Day part in Bel-Air on Feb. 13, the couple was all over each other. Cardi flashed a massive diamond on her finger on the red carpet (the first time she was spotted wearing it since the split.) Inside the party, she and Offset were all smiles, especially when she started grinding on him during a performance of “No Limit.” See? That’s the power of communication for ya

Election Postponement: Atiku accuses Buhari of plot to disenfranchise Nigerians

The Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Saturday accused President Muhammadu Buhari of plotting to disenfranchise Nigerians, moments after the general elections were formally postponed.

Mr Abubakar, however, urged Nigerians to exercise patience and not be provoked before the new dates announced for the exercise.

Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, announced at about 2:40 a.m. Saturday that the election had been postponed, barely hours after Nigerians were set to hit the polling units.

The elections would now hold on new dates scheduled as February 23 for presidential and National Assembly elections and March 9 for governorship and state assemblies elections.

Mr Yakubu said the announcement came hours after a string of strategic meetings were held by top INEC officials to review preparedness for the exercise. It was concluded that a rash of logistics challenges that arose on Friday informed the postponement.

Ekiti, Niger and Taraba States were identified as some of the states that faced glitches of distribution of voting materials that would be difficult to resolve in time for the elections Saturday morning, thereby forcing the postponement.

Nigerians online expressed severe disappointment in INEC’s eleventh-hour decision, with many criticising the umpire for displaying incompetence since it had four years to prepare for the exercise.

Mr Abubakar’s statement followed the reaction of Mr Buhari’s campaign office, which blamed the PDP for the postponement and called on Nigerians to support INEC in rejecting alleged opposition plots to compromise the commission.

“This postponement is obviously a case of the hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob. By instigating this postponement,” Mr Abubakar said in a Saturday morning statement to PREMIUM TIMES.

“The Buhari administration hopes to disenfranchise the Nigerian electorate in order to ensure that turn out is low on the rescheduled date. Nigerians must frustrate their plans by coming out in even greater numbers on Saturday, 23 February and Saturday, 9 March respectively,” the former vice-president added.

Read his initial reaction in full below:

PRESS RELEASE

Election Postponement: Remain Peaceful In Face of Provocation

Yola, Nigeria, 16 Feb 2019: Dear citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,

As you know, the Independent National Electoral Commission has announced a postponement of the elections until 23 February and 9 March respectively.

The Buhari administration has had more than enough time and money to prepare for these elections and the Nigerian people were poised and ready to perform their civic responsibility by voting in the elections earlier scheduled for Saturday, 16 February, 2019.

This postponement is obviously a case of the hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob. By instigating this postponement, the Buhari administration hopes to disenfranchise the Nigerian electorate in order to ensure that turn out is low on the rescheduled date. Nigerians must frustrate their plans by coming out in even greater numbers on Saturday, 23 February and Saturday, 9 March respectively.

Knowing that the Nigerian people are determined to reject them, they are desperate and will do anything in their power to avoid their rejection by the Nigerian people.

Their plan is to provoke the public, hoping for a negative reaction, and then use that as an excuse for further anti-democratic acts.

As such, I call on all Nigerians to be patient. We have tolerated the maladministration of this government for four years. We can extend our tolerance a few more days and give them our verdict via our votes.

Maintain the peace and be law abiding. Do not react to this provocation with anger, violence or any action that might be exploited by those who do not want this election to hold. Remain calm. We will overcome this. You can postpone an election, but you cannot postpone destiny.

Please come out to vote on Saturday, 23 February and Saturday, 9 March respectively. Frustrate those who do not want this election to hold by coming out in very large numbers. That is the best antidote to their plans.

May God bless you and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Atiku Abubakar

Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party & Vice President of Nigeria, 1999-2007.

James Bond New Movie 'Bond 25' Release Date Shifted To April 2020

James Bond will arrive two months later than planned as MGM moved back the release date on the untitled Bond 25 movie from Feb. 14 to April 8, 2020 — a Wednesday before the start of Easter weekend.

It’s the second delay for Bond 25. MGM and Eon originally announced in 2017 that the film would open on Nov. 8, 2019, then moved that back to Feb. 14, 2020 after Danny Boyle exited from the director slot and was replaced by Cary Joji Fukunaga.

Universal will be handling international distribution on Bond 25, while MGM handles domestic in partnership with Annapurna through the new United Artists Releasing label.

Daniel Craig is returning as Bond and Lea Seydoux, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, and Ben Whishaw will reprise their roles from 2015’s “Spectre,” directed by Sam Mendes. The last two installments became the highest-grossing films in the series, with “Skyfall” hauling $1.1 billion globally and “Spectre” earning $880.7 million at the worldwide box office.

Bond 25 will begin shooting on March 4 with Craig in the lead for the fifth time. Fukunaga, whose feature credits include “Jane Eyre” and “Beasts of No Nation,” has become the first American director in the history of the franchise under MGM and Eon. The team of Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who have been co-writers on the last six Bond films dating back to “The World Is Not Enough,” have returned to write the script.

The decision to push back Bond 25 will give Fukunaga and Eon producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli additional time to finish what’s certain to be a complex and costly production. The production cost for “Spectre” was estimated at $250 million.

The Easter weekend launch places Bond 25 a few weeks ahead of the traditional start of summer blockbuster season. Marvel-Disney is opening “Avengers: Endgame” on April 26 this year; it has untitled Marvel opening on May 1, 2020.

Friday’s announcement about Bond 25 came a few minutes after Universal said it had shifted “Fast and Furious 9” back six weeks from April 10 to May 22, 2020 — the start of the Memorial Day weekend.

The last eight Bond movies, dating back to 1989’s “License to Kill,” have opened in the fall corridor. 1987’s “the Living Daylights,” the first to star Timothy Dalton as Bond, opened in July.

‘Fast and Furious 9’ Release Date Shifted Again For Six Weeks

Universal Pictures has shifted “Fast and Furious 9” back six weeks from April 10 to May 22, 2020 — the start of the Memorial Day weekend.

It’s the second backwards shift for the title. In 2017, Universal moved the film back a year from April 19, 2019, to April 10, 2020. Both dates fall on Easter weekend.

The move, announced Friday, leaves April 10, 2020, without a title for now — although MGM also announced a few minutes later that it would open Bond 25 on April 8, 2002. In its new slot, “Fast and Furious 9” will face Warner Bros./Legendary’s “Godzilla vs. Kong” and Paramount’s “The Spongebob Movie.”

The eighth movie in the franchise, “The Fate of the Furious,” stunned Hollywood in 2017, grossing $1.2 billion worldwide. It was directed by F. Gary Gray and starred Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Scott Eastwood, Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky, Kurt Russell, and Charlize Theron.

The eight films in the franchise, launched in 2001, have collectively grossed more than $5 billion worldwide. “Furious 7,” which featured the late Paul Walker’s final appearance, is the top performer, having hauled $1.5 billion globally.

The first spinoff title, “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” hits theaters on Aug. 2. The film pairs Johnson’s former U.S. Diplomatic Security Service agent Luke Hobbs and Statham’s ex-MI6 agent Deckard Shaw, joining forces to take on Idris Elba’s international terrorist Brixton. The first trailer was released on Feb. 1.

Nigerian Brothers, Empire Actors Arrested As A 'Potential Suspects' for Battery

Brothers Are Former 'Empire' Extras

Police have now arrested 2 men in the Jussie Smollett investigation -- 2 men with ties to "Empire" -- and TMZ has learned they were booked for battery.

The men are brothers from Nigeria named Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo, and Chicago cops are now calling them "potential suspects" ... as opposed to persons of interest. We know it was their home cops raided Wednesday and seized a long list of potential evidence ... including several bottles of bleach.

As we reported ... cops picked up Ola and Abel, their nicknames, on Wednesday night at O'Hare Airport.

A Chicago law enforcement source tells us the next step may be a lineup in which Jussie will be asked to identify the culprits. This raises a potential problem because, as we first reported, Jussie initially said his attackers were white and yelled "MAGA country."

The Osundairos, from Nigeria, just don't fit that profile.

As you know, Jussie has stated the men in the dark, grainy image released last month are definitely his attackers. Police are not confirming the Osundairo brothers are the men in that photo.

Ola played a prison inmate on season 2 of "Empire." It's unclear exactly how well they know Jussie, but we know Jussie follows their joint Instagram account. Abel also says he's worked on "Empire."

Both brothers describe themselves online as actors and models.

Rihanna: Why She’s ‘Worried’ About Chris Brown Amid His Feud With Offset

Chris Brown’s feud with Offset, which has blown up into Instagram rants, is giving Rihanna doubts that he will ever ‘change.’ Up until now, she was actually impressed with her ex.

Chris Brown’s Instagram feud with Offset, 27, is not leaving a good impression on Rihanna, 30. She’s “bothered by Chris’s latest beef with Offset,” a source EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife, after the R&B singer blasted Offset with nasty words for calling his meme about 21 Savage “lame” on Feb. 6. It’s a touchy subject, as Demi Lovato was even boo’ed off Twitter for laughing at memes about Savage, which poked fun at his surprising United Kingdom roots (he was arrested for allegedly overstaying his visa on Feb. 3). But Chris didn’t like being scolded, and slammed the Migos for being “sensitive” among a string of expletives. Rather than focus on the source of the fight, however, RiRi is just sad her ex is fighting with anyone at all.

“She still cares about him and does not want to see him get into any trouble or fight anyone,” our source explains. “Rih thinks it is silly that the boys are arguing online like that.” Up until now, the “Work” singer actually thought Chris was on a better path. “She has been happy for Chris and thought that he has been doing well and has been doing a great job raising his daughter,” our source explains, referring to Chris’ 4-year-old daughter, Royalty, whom he shares with Nia Guzman. We heard that she was even “happy” that Chris appeared to find new love with Ammika Harris, 25! “But then stuff like this happens and she begins to worry about Chris again,” our source says. “She fears he will never change and hopes he can stay out of trouble.”

Really, RiRi sees a lot of potential in her ex, which is why she’s so concerned now. “Rihanna feels bad that Chris has to continue to get involved in various beefs and issues when it should be about his amazing and one of a kind talent,” another source EXCLUSIVELY tells HL. “She thinks he should be the biggest star in the world and people should focus on Chris Brown the performer. The problem is Chris Brown the person continues to bring everything down to Earth for all the wrong reasons.” In addition to the petty exchanges with Offset, Chris was brought down to Earth after he was hit with a serious accusation: an anonymous woman claimed the R&B singer, his bodyguard and a third man raped her at Paris’ Mandarin Oriental hotel on Jan. 16. Chris was cleared of the charges and released from custody on Jan. 22, and even filed a defamation lawsuit against his accuser.

With Chris’ new round of bad press, the public’s attention is far from his music. “Rihanna would love nothing more than to see Chris get to a place where he is judged by his talent over anything else,” our second source continues. “She knows he can and she really is looking forward to that day to be a reality soon.”

One of Offset’s disses towards Chris was especially uncomfortable, as he wrote to his IG Story on Thursday, “Check my record and and check yours only people you go toe to toe with is women that’s for lame ni***s.” The rapper didn’t name drop, but Chris was arrested in 2009 for beating Rihanna. As Rihanna has said she eventually forgave Chris in a 2012 interview on Oprah’s Next Chapter, she’s just concerned about the consequences her ex’s latest feud could bring.

Chris Brown Fans Flip Out After He Posts His Address On Social Media During Offset Fight — Tweets

The ongoing feud between Chris Brown and Offset took another surprising turn on Feb. 7 when Breezy shared his address for the world to see.

Chris Brown, 29, took his feud with Offset, 27, to another level on Feb. 7 when the singer shared his home address on Instagram for the world to see. (Yes, we kid you not.) Breezy took to his account to publish a series of direct messages and insults that he and Offset traded as their argument escalated, rapidly. At one point, in messages that appear to have been sent from the rapper’s official Instagram account, the Migos star wrote, “Wya,” which means “where you at.” Chris replied that he’s in Los Angeles and will “be home at 4.” When Offset wrote, “Addy,” Brown challenged the rapper to look for his home address on Google Maps.

After Cardi B’s man declined Chris’s invitation – a few more insults later – Breezy shared his Tarzana address; street, house number, everything! The “Don’t Wake Me Up” singer posted the whole conversation on his Instagram page. In his caption he called Offset a “d*ckhead” and a “lil a** boi [sic].” Chris has since deleted the post but, as we know, the Internet is forever and fans very quickly shared screenshots on Twitter, as well as their hilarious reactions.
One fan tweeted, “Chris Brown really posted his address. He going [to] be mad when it’s me at his door instead of Offset.”  Another person joked that Breezy was faking, tweeting, “Chris Brown probably gave y’all the address to Popeyes or something. lmfaooo bro not stupid.” Yet another fan joked, “Chris Brown just posted his address. Baby I’m omw [on my way].”

 

Other fans noted that, surprisingly, Chris appeared to be correct. Type in “Chris Brown address LA” in a search engine and the details pop up. Sharing screen shots of the results of a Google search, one person tweeted, “What makes this even funnier is Offset could literally Google Chris Brown’s address.”

Just what turn this feud will take remains to be seen. As fans will know it all began after Chris shared a clip of a 21 Savage music video that featured a British voiceover on his Instagram page days after the U.K. born artist was detained by ICE on Feb. 3. The 26-year-old faces deportation. Offset commented that “memes ain’t funny lame.” Breezy didn’t appreciate that and slammed the rapper in response. They’ve been feuding ever since. So far it seems that this celebrity spat is far from over.
