Got Milk?: Rethinks Campaign Featuring Chris Brown

Singing sensation Chris Brown, 19, is going through major professional scrutiny after being arrested and charged with making criminal threats to girlfriend Rihanna this past Sunday. Now the companies using Brown's image and name to peddle their products are feeling the pinch. Got Milk is severing ties with Brown and ending his Milk Mustache campaign at the end of this week, according to Reuters. Brown's ad launched last fall and is scheduled to end this week. Wrigley's Doublemint Gum has already suspended their endorsement deal with Brown.—QS

Fighting between couples is wrong in every way. There are no exceptions! It is totally unexceptable! No one deserves to be beaten on. The man is suppose to protect his woman not hurt her. If she can't depend on him then who can she depend on? The same goes for a woman abusing a man, and believe me it does really happen.

I THINK THEY COULD BE THE NEXT "JAY-Z" AND "BEYONCE" POWER COUPLE. THEY ARE YOUNG AND THINK BACK WHEN WE WERE 19YRS OR 20YRS - WE DID THE SAME THING TRY AND FIGHT OUR BOYFRIENDS NOT OVER TEXT BUT MAYBE A PHONE CALL OR SEEN HIM AT SUPERSKATE WITH ANOTHER FEMALE. WE ALL HAVE BEEN THERE. WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHITE BOYS.. MATT DAMON OR BRAD PITT OR TOM CRUISE THEY HAVE HAD RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS.. THESE TWO ARE BLACK AND POWERFUL EVERYONE FROM KIDS TO ADULTS LOVE THEM BOTH DO YOUR THING RHIANNA IF YOU LOVE CHRIS THEN GO FOR IT.

There are two sides to every story and then there's the truth. Both are very young and has a lot to learn. It is never ok for any person to raise their hand as an answer to a problem. I pray for Chris because this is only the beginning of his troubles. I know Rihanna cares a lot for him and want to be with him but he needs help and she needs to understand that being with him now is not the right chose. They both need counseling. He needs to know how to control his anger and when to walk away and Rihanna needs to understand that you do not give your heart to a man who beats you. It is ok to be alone. But we all live and learn. I will pray for the both of you.

They are very young and can benefit from counseling. I don't think we should pass judgement because we don't know the full story. Although there is no excuse for a man hitting a woman, most people do act on impulse and anger. Being celebrities....they will do what they feel is in their best interest and the interest of their public. Hopefully this was a wake up call and will never happen again.

First of all there is never a good reason for a man or woman to hit his or her mate however those are young people and things apparently got out of hand . I do believe the both of them should have gone through some counseling before resuming a relationship and i pray the abuse stops and they will be happy.
