Chris Brown hit headlines this week after news of his dramatic seizure spread like wildfire.
The ‘Fine China’ singer reportedly suffered the fit in a Los Angeles recording studio on Friday, yet refused medical treatment — naturally sparking intense discussion about what caused the frightening episode.
Ploughing through the speculation, the 24-year old’s publicist issued a statement over the weekend. Find out what it read after the jump…
Issued exclusively to USA Today, the release confirmed that the star did indeed suffer a “non-epileptic seizure (NES)”. Issued by Brown’s PR Nicole Perna, the press call added “his doctor tended to him this afternoon and attributes the NES to intense fatigue and extreme emotional stress, both due to the continued onslaught of unfounded legal matters and the non-stop negativity.”
Almost simultaneously, the performer’s girlfriend Karrueche Tran wrote on Twitter:
Prayers all day

…while Brown himself added…
“They won’t love u until u r a memory…”
The post was subsequently deleted.
***************
Spin, much?
Granted the whole episode is utterly unfortunate (and woefully worrying), we have to give kudos to Team Breezy for attempting to flip it in his favour. What we’d appreciate more, though, is a time when Brown himself stops handing the media the very tools to knock him down (see: fights, Twitter rants, court room visits and the like). He’s entirely too talented to have his career stagnated by drama.
Brown’s new album ‘X’ hits stores later this year.
That poor 24-year-old cannot catch a break. Either y’all support his stuff and embrace him or leave him alone. The jokes and continuous scolding is not needed.

Team Breezy, we have been asked to pray for Christopher. Each day this week at 8 pm, in your own time zone, let us join together in prayer to form an International Prayer Circle for Christopher. Tell your friends and see you at the Throne of Grace at 8pm. Below is an example of a prayer that can be said.
Heavenly Father, we come before your Throne of Grace with thanks and praise, for You are the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. We humbly ask You for healing and comfort for Christopher Maurice Brown as he looks to You for guidance. Help him to know that he is not alone, and that You lead him and guide him. You walk with him and talk with him, and he is Your own. Grant him strength, courage, and the assurance that he is always surrounded with Your love.
We ask that you continue to bless him with dependable and consistent support from family and loved ones, who stand by his side at all times, and who know that they can turn to You for help. Help him to be able to assess situations and bless him with trustworthy, dependable, and loyal family and loved ones, who have his best interests at heart.
“Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us”. At the end of the day, as we stand before the Throne of Grace, everyone will ultimately look to You for forgiveness, “for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”.
Watch over Christopher, raise him up when he falls, abide with him, and surround him with Your love and care. Through the love and precious blood of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct thy paths.
Psalm 91:1,2
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.
can we conclude it is not a seizure? as they say it’s a depressive episode. not something physical. wise word he better chill his head. and he better not even take meds or he will snap on a low and kill himself someday. i’ve seen thing happen like that.
Yeah right! That kid is on drugs! He will be dead soon like so many others.
Christopher, get off the drugs.
The reason people bash you is because of what you did AFTER the Rihanna incident. You made fun of a sexual abuse victim and called him a f** thinking people would laugh but you looked dumb as f***.
Chris…….LEAVE THE INDUSTRY NOW!!! Focus on getting help and being happy, this sh*t isn’t worth dying for.
You people are heartless…
No! I’m reading the comments and people are being realistic. The boy pretty much threw a hissy fit similar to what kids do when they are stressed out. He needs to go off somewhere and reevaluate his life outside of the whole music industry. Lose the leeches who seem to be stuck at his hips and forget his managers who are only milking him for the money.
LIES…he is addicted to meth. I love how he’s tryina be a victim while his arrogance and his lack of real singing talent are the reasons why he is such a flop. boy the 2005 days are long gone. Now dancers have to be singers too.
I LOOK AT THAT UGLY FACE ALL I C IS DEATH. F** YO CAREER IS OVER. TIME TO QUIT. UR 15 MINUTE OF FAME IS UP. NO NEED TO EXTEND THAT EXPIRATION TIME
The next whitney houston. Indeed whitney houston never came back despite all the thousands tries/rehabs, this is what’s gonna happen to him.
NEXT
LAUGHING OUT LOUD…KIIIIIII 😀

Utter B******* **Sprays ‘HEAT’ air freshener**
The media onslaught on Chris Brown is his own doing, he keeps the media houses busy with his nonsensical antics of throwing chairs through windows, getting into unprovoked and unwarranted fighting, and degrading himself and his family on social media, especially Twitter.
The world wouldn’t have such a problem with Chris Brown if he didn’t make himself a social nuisance to the fed up public. The wannabe thug, bad boy image needs to go, if he doesn’t want people to consistently remind him of what a waste of space he makes himself out to be.
Like I said last time, Chris needs to get himself together, prepare himself for the much deserved retirement after this album, and retire gracefully. He should retire leaving a positive memory, image and legacy for himself and his music, he owes himself that. He needs to take care of himself because he is not only hurting himself but those close to him as well. Get it together Chris so you can retire with a legacy, you owe yourself that much.
You shady b****,where is katy’s fragrance? u jealous h**
LOLOLOL You use HEAT as air freshener too. YASS B****
Heat. The one that’s outselling all your faves? Poor Dat.
Receipts? Heat hasn’t outsold anything. Once again BeYAWNce’s team have someone say a whole bunch of b******* trying to make her look good. “Heat” was a flop. It was released with 4 variations (sound familiar?) and they are trying to combine them all and list it as a best selling fragrance. That’s why it was bundled and sold on markdown at Walmart next to Shania Twain. The reach is getting out of hand. Not ONE figure or chart was mentioned in that press release. It’s all subjective as per usual with BeYAWNce. How many copies has Dangerously in Love sold again? 12 million? 20 million? And I forgot BIONIC has sold 100 million albums WW and writes all her own songs. Any questions?
Google is your friend. What are your receipts that it didnt. I didnt even bother to read the comment it looks like a load of irrelevant jibberish.
Seethe Jer seethe.
You Fools are a Mess DAMNED IF HE DO DAMNED IF HE DON’T!! Y’all are setting him up to fail & y’all need to WORRY BOUT YA OWN LIVES & HOW GRAND THEY SUPPOSEDLY ARE!! He WILL GET HISSELF TOGETHER & WHEN HE DOES~GET OFF HIS D*** IM SURE MOST F*** ARE ALL OVER IT!!
we’re all f*** here, dont act as if u were straight smh
BS, the dude is on drugs. They’re making it out to be a life threatening event, but you didn’t go to the hospital asap? Cause he knows that the doctors would had diagnosis it as drug related. Funny how TeamBeatMe are all on Rihanna about taking a break when it’s their lil woman beating faves that needs to sit down. He can’t sell a single, album nor tour, meaning he will be dropped by RCA. Don’t blame the press when everything was caused by YOU.
This was a result to drugs. His drug usuage is due to his depression. If it’s that serious to where his life is in jeopardy, then he needs to quit the music business and stay away from the media.
I dont feel sorry for him, he brings the negativity on to himself.
You can already tell Chris will have an early death its sad but its the truth.
Whatever. Everyone knows people who pop pills regularly are prone to seizures. Junkie.
WOW. I never knew there was so much hatred in the world. This man had a seizure and yall on here talking about he on drugs? Why? What is yall purpose? Yall spend hours online leaving negative ass comments instead of praying for him. If he was really on drugs like yall claim he is then why bash him instead of praying for him. And its the same people everyday that leave negative comments on every website/post about this man.
Amen.
I want to feel bad for the dude but let’s be real, that ‘negativity’ is purely a result of his own actions. Even if people want to put negativity on you, you don’t respond to and feed their perceptions. Every celebrity is hated on on some level, the way they handle that negativity controls how much power they give to their detractors.
Chris has seen negativity and paid it back with more negativity and bad actions. He’s done a lot better lately, but it’s a molehill compared to a mountain of HIS bad actions. If he’s having seizures as a result and quittin music then he’s really failing himself and realwardin his detractors.
No one said you couldn’t come back from the Rihanna incident Chris, or that should be all you’re known for, but you also can’t pretend you didn’t do a lot after that incident that would make people doubt and condemn you. Be real and get it together baby, you’re a grown man now. Accept and deal.

comments on here are disgusting. Chris Brown will deffo find peace once he takes complete responsibility for his actions and right now you can tell he is still looking for people to blame. Having said that if you cannot see how ruthlessly he has been hounded in the media and by his peers then you have been brainwashed. I have no doubt it was stress, not that he doesn’t take drugs, but considering the place he was when it happened it is really unlikely that he was off his tits. Everyone wants to sit on their high horse, the majority of people in this post would not be able to cope with half the s*** he has! I’m not even particularly a fan of him but i’m not an imbecile either like the majority of you seem to be! The boy is clearly depressed.
