Frank Ocean doesn’t want to press charges against Chris Brown in fight

On Saturday Frank Ocean wrote on his Tumblr page that he has no plans to seek criminal charges against Chris Brown over a fight that occurred last month. “No criminal charges. No civil lawsuit. Forgiveness, albeit difficult, is wisdom,” he wrote.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement reported by The Associated Press that they were looking into an incident that occurred outside the Westlake Recording Studios where witnesses said that six men had been involved in a fight over a parking space. “The altercation allegedly led to Chris Brown punching the victim, which happened to be Ocean,” the statement said.

Authorities said initially that Ocean wanted to press charges against Brown.

Affection without Limitations: Rihanna and Chris Brown – Pop Culture

Our celebrity pic of the week goes to Rihanna and Chris Brown and features all the beauty, confusion and life lessons emitting unconditional love.

Affection without any limitations; true altruism and complete love — which is basically how Rihanna epitomizes her relationship with Brown. The pop star opened up about her on again off again romance with the hip hop star and says:

“I decided it was more important for me to be happy,” the pop star said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine.

“I wasn’t going to let anybody’s opinion get in the way of that. Even if it’s a mistake, it’s my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I’d rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it,” the pop star said in reference to the 2009 assault on her by Brown.

“When you add up the pieces from the outside, it’s not the cutest puzzle in the world,” Rihanna adds. “You see us walking somewhere, driving somewhere, in the studio, in the club, and you think you know. But it’s different now. We don’t have those types of arguments anymore. We talk about shit. We value each other. We know exactly what we have now, and we don’t want to lose that,” she continued.

And on the subject of Brown ever striking her again, Rihanna says:

  “He doesn’t have the luxury of fucking up again. That’s just not an option. I can’t say that nothing else will ever go wrong. But I’m pretty solid in the knowing that he’s disgusted by that. And I wouldn’t have gone this far if I ever thought that was a possibility. He made a mistake, and he’s paid his dues, he’s paid so much. And I know that’s not a place he would ever want to go back to. And sometimes people need support and encouragement, instead of ridicule and criticism and bashing,” the ‘Unapologetic’ singer adds.

Kind of reminds of  the famous quote by John F. Kennedy,”forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.”

The full interview was released today, January 31st and is now available on news stands as well as RollingStone.com.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement reported by The Associated Press that it was looking into an incident that occurred outside the Westlake Recording Studios where witnesses said that six men had been involved in a fight over a parking space. “The altercation allegedly led to Chris Brown punching the victim,” the statement said.

Members of Brown’s entourage denied the police description of the Sunday night fight.

Witnesses reported that Brown had actually tried to shake Ocean’s hand outside the studio but was attacked by a member of Ocean’s entourage instead. That’s when a member of Brown’s crew allegedly smacked someone in Ocean’s group, this according to TMZ.

Ocean reported the incident to the cops, however, Brown and his posse were gone by the time police arrived.

Los Angeles law enforcement officials said on Monday morning they were investigating Brown for his possible involvement in an assault that occurred in West Hollywood on Sunday night.

Ocean tweeted about the brawl shortly after.

Brown is serving a five-year probation sentence after pleading guilty to assaulting fellow R&B star and former girlfriend Rihanna on the eve of the 2009 Grammy awards.

The singer is the latest celebrity to fall victim to the “swatting” prank. Over the weekend someone falsely reported an emergency at the home of Bruce and Kris Jenner, which sent Kim Kardashian on a Twitter rampage. And last week Beverly Hills police responded to a fake armed robbery call at Tom Cruise’s house. Other hoax calls have been made involving the homes of Justin Bieber, Ashton Kutcher and Miley Cyrus.

I for one am so confused on the relationship of Chris Brown and Rihanna. One minute we reporting Brown is hugged up with Karrueche Tran in Dubai, the next he’s in bed with Rihanna. Well your guess is as good as mine. See new pics below that RiRi tweeted today with the caption,  “Good morning! Still haven’t slept lol #hello2013,” while she is looking up into the camera — lying in bed and cuddling under a black-and-white polka dot sheet — and a man’s sock clad feet sticking out…presumably Browns.

The two were recently spotted attending the African Grammys together and a Lakers game on Christmas.

After three years apart Chris Brown and Rihanna are once again a couple, according to Hollywood Life.  But contrary to the marriage rumors…well…Breezy and RiRi are not planning on tying the knot this New Year’s Eve in Barbados.

 “All that talk is just nonsense,” said a source close to the reunited couple. “There’s no plans for a New Year’s Eve wedding yet.”

“Rihanna and Chris are close enough … that she knows his family and she loves Joyce Hawkins, and he knows all her people,” added the source. “Chris is welcomed to be with her and hang with the family if he wants … He’s done it before so what’s the big deal if they’re dating now. It’s cool.”

“She loves Chris a lot again, probably even too much … but that’s love again and she’s got it bad for him but not ready to run off and get married yet.”

And if you thought the news couldn’t get any better, according to The Sun on Dec. 6, Rihanna asked her record label for “time off” so she can have a baby with Chris Brown.

A source at Closer magazine had more to say on the subject.

“She asked her record company when the best time would be for her to take off, as she wants a baby.They just stared at her. Everyone was pretty open-mouthed. But she hasn’t got any time free in her diary until 2014.”

Fans can also hear the two on Rihanna’s new album “Unapologetic,”  a duet entitled, “Nobodies Business,”
