Chris Brown’s Cousin Says He was Provoked

chris-brown-3  Chris Brown has maintained a low profile since his reported fight with Rihanna last Sunday. The R&B singer’s cousin has stepped forward, making a controversial claim to Extra. In a new interview airing tonight, Phylicia Thompson says of her cousin, “Chris was not brought up to beat on a woman. So it had to be something to provoke him for Chris to do it.”

 
Thompson continues, “He wouldn’t have done it just to be having fun…But what happens behind closed doors, nobody ever knows.”  She says that Brown is feeling down in the dumps right now because of the media attention the incident has received.

 
“He might feel down right now because his fans are looking down on him, like he’s done something wrong,” says Thompson. “Of course, yes, he’s done something wrong because he put his hands on her, but like I said, you don’t know what happened. He had to be provoked to do it. Chris would never have done it.”
Details and updates will continue as they become available.
