I'd hoped we'd heard the last of him. Bad move Helen.

I've never found him entertaining and he may be an arse but he's still entitled to earn a crust.
True. He's served his punishment and deserves a chance to rehabilitate himself. If he's still a dick then it won't be kept quiet for long.
Hahahaha there's even a picture
That photo was from the time of his trial, so he may be looking a bit healthier now.

Yeah. Top bloke.
Some of us believe the man isn't as guilty as he seems, she was a druggie from what I have heard and flew into rages, she isn't totally innocent and for me to believe her story I would like to see photos of her bruises at the hands of JLC and the full recording where she had wound him up to that level. After all the woman can record him but then we are supposed to believe that she can't take pictures of bruising??? Sorry I am not gullible :rolleyes:
Good luck to him, it's not a bad move for Helen Lederer
If that's a normal row then you've dated some really nice guys.
The rehabilitation of Chris Brown seems to have been successful & he was found guilty of abuse,photos 'n all!!
I posted this in a previous thread.
Chris Brown for many years had cultivated an image of a 'bad boy' in a scene that loves these sorts of characters.
JLC's whole career was based on his cheeky chappie persona, a regular nice, funny guy who we'd all like to share a pint with. When this was exposed as being very far from the true nature of the man, it made it incredibly unlikely that he will ever get anywhere near the level of success he had before he was exposed as a nasty piece of work.
Chris Brown, though undoubtably a prize tool, was soon embraced back into his scene, where the persona of the bad boy is celebrated.
His ex wife never saw this side of him
Which just proves that there are a lot of people including on here who don't think abuse is much of a problem really. Disgusting.
Ugh. That's the kind of victim-blaming ugliness being thrown around by a few people at the time. I forgot how horrible it is. I don't know how anyone can look at the details of this case; the things he used to demand of her, and conclude that there was a different "side" to it.
I think he got off extremely lightly and should have had the book thrown at him. The notion that there needs to be physical bruises to demonstrate harm is a very ignorant and sad point of view. I'm not sure how any grown adult can believe that harm can only be manifested physically. The mind boggles.
Always found him very creepy.
Yep, there are some very sinister non-physical ways to hurt a person, to wear them down, to humiliate them. Many people who've been abused in this way say it's worse than any physical abuse they may have undergone, don't they? JC certainly was guilty of psychological abuse; the evidence was there on the tapes. Even if his partner did give him a hard time (which I believe she did) it doesn't make it right or acceptable. Such a thing as walking away. Better than turning into a monster.
I don't think he'll ever really be successful in the public eye again but unless he retrains for a new career (which he could), I think your suggestion is the more sensible because broadcasting is what he knows. I could never see him in the same light as I did.
You mean the ex-wife who's level of financial support from him depends on his ability to earn a living?!
Some very weird details came out about the kind of 'relationship' they were leading. For that reason I cannot see him returning to mainstream TV anytime soon. Who would want him as the 'face' of their show?
