The 19 year-old R&B star Chris Brown confessed a couple of years ago to be a witness to the abuse of his mother by his stepfather.

“He used to hit my mom,” Brown told the magazine. “He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, ‘I’m just gonna go crazy on him one day.’ … I hate him to this day.”

Brown also told Giant he studied martial arts to defend himself. After a fight with classmates in which he broke out his moves, he begged his own mother not to go to the police.

“Don’t go to no cops pressing no charges,” he told her, according to Giant. “Like, we don’t do that in the ‘hood.”

Of course this is not an excuse to beat down your girlfriend, Rihanna, but could explain how Chris got so violent… I swear I never saw this coming from him and that is kind of scary.
