LisaRaye weighs in on the drama surrounding Chris Brown and his problematic birthday weekend and she’s defending him. It’s alleged the R&B singer got into several altercations with people, including Usher and Teyana Taylor, during his birthday weekend. Find out what LisaRaye has to say about it all inside…
Actress LisaRaye recently weighed in on the alleged altercations between Chris Brown and fellow artists Usher and Teyana Taylor, causing a stir on social media. If you haven’t heard, Breezy was accused of physically assaulting Usher during his 34th birthday party in Las Vegas, which was rumored to have stemmed from an incident involving Teyana Taylor.
During a recent episode of ‘Cocktails with Queens,’ LisaRaye expressed her opinion on the matter, arguing that Chris Brown is often unfairly blamed for incidents because of his past actions, regardless of whether or not he was responsible for them. She went on to explain how people’s past actions can unfairly stigmatize them, and that it’s not fair to automatically assume that someone is responsible for something just because of their reputation.
“Why he gotta chill? Why he gotta chill?,” LisaRaye asked. “What if he felt just like what he said? ‘F*ck her!’ What if he felt like that? And he was saying that to his friend?”
“What I don’t like about it is that every time his name is brought up that he always gets automatically blamed because he is that way. We know him to be that, so it gotta be him.’ That’s what I don’t like — when people have that kind of stigma because I got that…it’s quick for you to think that, ‘Oh, LisaRaye would have did that’ or ‘LisaRaye said that,’ and I don’t like that because that very next time it could have been very different, but you blame me because of my past,” she said.
However, her co-host Claudia Jordan disagreed, stating that Breezy has a history of being involved in similar altercations and that it is up to him to “change the narrative” and avoid such situations in the future.

Breezy responded to these reports by saying that he intervened to protect his child when people started pushing backstage.
“.y’all been geeked all weekend, y’all dragging it now,” he wrote in TSR’s comments section on Instagram. “It was mad people backstage and security was trying to clear everyone off the stage. People started pushing back. I INTERVENED to let them know MY CHILD WAS BACK THERE. So y’all can keep ya narrative.”

According to reports, Chris was disrespectful towards Teyana at his birthday party, where he allegedly yelled “f*ck her,” which led Usher to intervene in her defense.
After the “Go Crazy” singer and his crew left the venue, Usher followed and reportedly returned with a bloody nose, according to Hollywood Unlocked. Usher seemingly dispelled those rumors by posting a video on his IG Story the next day of his face, which showed no signs of being “jumped” by Chris and his entourage. Check it:
While all parties involved have yet to confirm the alleged events of that night or release any statements, the incident has sparked a discussion about how public figures are held accountable for their actions and the impact of past actions on reputations.
As always, the internet had a lot to say about LisaRaye’s comments, with some agreeing that Chris is unfairly targeted and others criticizing him for his alleged behavior. Peep some reactions below:
I agree with her, but on the other hand he should calm down. the second incident was one in which he and other bystanders said he was trying to stop an altercation because he had his kids backstage… he was not the focus of the altercation. But of course his name was involved.

Most people have had that emotion of “F her!” including Usher but the difference between boys and Men is the boy is gonna say it and the Man is gonna hold himself higher with dignity. Chris Brown acting like a juvenile is why no one takes his career serious.
