buzzz worthy. . .
Chris Brown is facing charges for allegedly assaulting a fan outside of the W Hotel in DC early Sunday morning. The artist had just finished performing at a club and was taking pictures with fans when the victim, 20-year-old Isaac Adams Parker, attempted to photo bomb.
"I'm not down with that gay sh**," Brown said. "I feel like boxing." (The word on the street is Brown has been fighting off gay rumors that started online a two years ago.) He then allegedly hit Parker and did enough damage to send him to the hospital, according to one report. Brown's bodyguard was also arrested for the blows he exchanged in the brawl. There are discrepencies about who threw the first punch in the police reports. It has also been reported that the fan was attempting to sneak onto the tour bus. Brown is on probation for the 2009 assault of his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
This new incident could impact his probation and carries a possible 10 year sentence.
UPDATE, OCT. 29:
A DC judge released Chris Brown and his bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy on misdemeanor charges yesterday, with orders to report to his California probation officer within 48 hours and to stay at least 100 yards away from the man he is accused of assaulting early Sunday.
Both men must return to court on November 24.
