Chris Brown and his manager have some choice things to say to Lisa Gutierrez about her recent accusations of battery. This video was quickly taken down from Chris Brown's Instagram, but TMZ and the internet reign supreme in preserving pissed off rants.
"Probably To Ugly To Get In!" Chris Brown Defends Himself Against Recent Battery Charges In New Video.
#1 In case we all don't know the story by now.
Las Vegas police are investigating an allegation of battery against Chris Brown, the R&B singer who drew headlines when he was charged in 2009 with beating then-girlfriend Rihanna.
Authorities received a call shortly before 10:30 a.m. Saturday about the alleged battery at the Palms Casino Resort, Lt. Jeff Goodwin said. A police statement Saturday evening said an altercation took place in a room at the resort when the woman went to take a picture of Brown.
The woman said she was struck by Brown and that he had taken her cellphone, police said. Detectives tried to speak with Brown at his hotel room, but the singer left before police had arrived.
A crime report has been taken for misdemeanor theft and misdemeanor battery listing Brown as a suspect, police said.
Nicole Perna, publicist for Brown, issued a statement Saturday night calling the woman's charges "unequivocally untrue."
The woman "was escorted out of the private after party at the Palms Casino Resort for being disruptive and out of control," Perna said. "Once she was in the hallway, while waiting for Chris Brown's security to bring out her phone, she had a total meltdown -- throwing her purse to the ground and claiming that she 'could buy everyone in the hotel' -- as witnessed by numerous people waiting to get into the party. The Palms Casino Resort security also saw her wild behavior via hotel security cameras and immediately came up to the hallway to escort her out of the hotel."
"Her claim that she had her phone in her possession inside the after party and was able to take a photo causing an altercation with Chris Brown is a complete fabrication," Perna said.
#2 Of course Chris Brown can't keep silent on these charges.
Chris Brown has decided to sound off against his accuser. Liziane Gutierrez has alleged that Brown punched her and took her phone after she tried to take a picture with the singer. In a video Brown posted to Instagram and then later removed, now preserved by TMZ, the singer argued that he did not know Gutierrez and that she was "probably too ugly to get in" to his room for his party.
In a later post, still up on his Instagram, Brown was slightly more politic, writing, "Keeping my circle small in 2016! I'm done taking the care of grown ass men. And I'm going to be hella rich after all the lawsuits I file from these crazy individuals who keep lying on my name. Happy NEW YEAR! Time for some of us to grow the fuck up!" Gutierrez has responded with her own video, which she sent to TMZ.
#3 When asking Mike G (Chris Brown's manager) for further comment, the manager replied, "The post pretty much says it all." Read his statement in full below.
Brown's manager, who goes by Mike G, shared a lengthy response to the allegation on Sunday. "Shame on the networks that gave this story life and this liar her 15 minutes," the manager wrote on Instagram, adding that Brown doesn't get the same publicity for his charitable efforts.
A representative for Brown took a more traditional route and said in a statement obtained by Billboard that the "[victim's] statements are unequivocally untrue and that a motive for her accusation may lay in the fact that she had been removed from the private party due to "disruptive and out of control" behavior. "Her claim that she had her phone in her possession inside the after party and was able to take a photo causing an altercation with Chris Brown is a complete fabrication," the statement continued. "This seems like a clear case of retaliation for her bruised ego."
TMZ has reported rumors that Brown may file a defamation lawsuit against Gutierrez as early as Monday.
