Chris Brown’s Vile New Low: Selling T-Shirts Insulting His Alleged Rape Victim
Earlier this week, Chris Brown was briefly taken into custody in Paris over a rape allegation. As The Daily Beast previously reported, “The 24-year-old alleged victim, identified only as ‘Miss. K’ in court documents, told the French tabloid Closer on Jan. 22 that Brown, his bodyguard, and a third man raped her in Brown’s hotel room after they met at a club. She claimed that while there were several people in the hotel room at the time, Brown barricaded her in another, smaller room while he and the other men allegedly assaulted her.” Brown was quickly released without charges. According to the New York Times, the Paris prosecutor’s office has stated that the investigation is ongoing.
On Tuesday evening, the controversial R&B singer took to Instagram to dispute the anonymous woman’s allegations, posting the words “THIS B!TCH LYIN’!” In the caption, he continued, “I WANNA MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR…… THIS IS FALSE AND A WHOLE LOT OF CAP! NNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!! FOR MY DAUGHTER AND MY FAMILY THIS IS SO DISPRESPECTFUL AND IS AGAINST MY CHARACTER AND MORALS!!!!!” Brown subsequently deleted the post.
On Wednesday, TMZ quoted Brown’s Parisian lawyer, Raphael Chiche, saying, “Chris Brown is free. No lawsuits were filed against him. He vigorously challenges the charges against him. A complaint for slanderous denunciation will be filed tomorrow with the public prosecutor of Paris.” The Hollywood Reporter obtained a copy of the complaint, which reportedly seeks “a criminal prosecution for the ‘slanderous accusation.’”
