Yesterday The Star magazine reported an incident with a photo of Brown playing a pick-up game of basketball and allegedly yelled out “That’s gay!” and “You’re a f*gg*t a**!” to the other players.
Chris’ rep slammed the Star photo, insisting the picture was taken from another basketball game. Also claims that Brown was filming a music video on the day of the alleged incident.
“A totally fictitious article ran in the current Star Magazine accusing our client Chris Brown of doing something that he did not do,” states a rep for the R&B star. “The incident described did not occur, nor did the Star ever contact Chris’ representatives to request comment or confirmation.”Brown’s camp is also not taking this defamation of his character lightly, as the spokesperson adds, “Chris Brown’s management is considering taking appropriate legal action against the paper. We stand behind our client and want to set the record straight that this did not happen.”
A spokesperson from the Human Rights Campaign slammed Brown for the alleged comments.
Michael Cole-Schwartz, HRC’s communications director told Radaronline.com, “These kinds of slurs are just unacceptable. To demean gay people is encouraging others to engage in the same behavior. These kinds of slurs are unfortunately heard on playgrounds and even from figures in popular culture. We need to become more serious about it and stop it.”
