Once so squeaky clean, that he did the old soft shoe with Sesame Street star Elmo, Chris Brown is just about drowning in a date violence quagmire of his own making.
Brown has been arrested for beating up his girlfriend and once singing partner Rihanna. Now, even before the full details of the violent incident have been revealed, Brown finds himself in cuffs again and this time because of accusations brought by his former dance partner, Elmo of Sesame Street.
While most associates in the entertainment industry have defended Rihanna as an innocent victim, the muppet Elmo has not fared as well. Co-stars with the bright red muppet have been surprisingly taking Brown's side. Music legend Paul Simon said that when he performed with Elmo he darn near wanted to kill him:
"That little red falsettoed motherfucker could drive a sane muppet crazy. That annoying voice that makes fingernails on a chalkboard sound like Pavarotti and the constant demands for retakes and his insistence on top billing!! If Brown kicked his red ass, more black power to him!"
