Storm/Static

“I never intended to include Chris Brown’s name in one of my tweets to start some sort of a controversy, or to gain publicity, or anything like that. Now that he’s throwing accusations my way, like using steroids, I feel the need to reply. So, please, allow me to retort: I’m a lifelong, proud, drug-free Straight Edge individual, so Chris and I come from two completely different worlds. I don’t have a manager, I don’t have a bodyguard… I don’t need a bodyguard. I don’t have an assistant, I have no need for a PR to tell me what to tweet or when to tweet. And I don’t hit women. Period. In my world, women are to be revered and respected. And I firmly believe that in this life there are consequences and repercussions for people’s actions, and I don’t think Chris has paid for what he’s done. Picking up trash on the side of a highway does not make amends for repeatedly striking a woman in the face and sending her to a hospital. So, Chris wants to throw stones my way now, and I say that’s fine but put some gloves on and get in the ring. I will choke you out, and I will make you feel as weak, and as powerless, and scared, and alone as any woman who has had the misfortune of knowing a sad, cowardly little boy such as yourself—and all proceeds can go to a woman’s shelter of my choosing. If you want to pick up more trash on the side of the highway to make some amends, you should donate more time, maybe tell kids exactly what you did isn’t right. But I’m also a realist, and I know that none of these things will happen because Chris Brown isn’t a man and that’s fine. I just know that someday, somewhere, somehow, somebody will put Chris Brown exactly where he belongs. And it honestly doesn’t have to be me; I would just really like it to be.”
