According to The Huffington Post writer Ross Luippold, R&B singer (and convicted woman-beater) Chris Brown engaged in a Twitter battle with comedy writer Jenny Johnson after she tweeted the following snarky message in reply to Brown’s complaint about looking old:
[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/272781897095069697″]
The two duked it out for a number of tweets and retweets, including Brown calling Johnson a “hoe”:
[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/272785403797458944″]
And while we all know that engaging in a Twitter battle isn’t exactly high-society discourse, particularly with someone who has as excitable followers as the so-called Team Breezy, Brown’s Twitter attacks seem to have resulted in his Twitter account being deactivated. It can’t be determined as of now whether he pulled it himself, or if his account was suspended by Twitter, but as of 10:30pm EST, @ChrisBrown is currently unavailable.
Chris Brown has gotten into Twitter trouble before, as Luippold points out, attacking other critics and then attempting to delete the tweets.
What do you think of Brown’s Twitter activities? Should his account be suspended for these tweets? Does he have a right to defend himself when critiqued by comedians or critics such as Johnson?
How far is too far?
I’m not coming back because I am so upset by newshound? mediahound? suggesting that I want to lynch a black man. His race is irrelevant. I love the website though. Goodbye.

Verbal rape? Yeah. what said was terrible but I think it’s a bit too soon to initiate the “Anything bad that is done to a woman is some form of rape” rule.
Maybe I am a bit naive, but I dont understand why Jenny Johnson troll CB? why does she got out and insult him? no the references to his past are invalid. She attack him unprovoched, I like to know why? Not defending CB or his choice of words (as I can see they are more a product of the enviroment than a statement of intent, may be wrong although) but if somebody insult me, my first reaction is to insult back. So I as I see it, she attack him, hoping for a reaction and now she can play victim… Read more »
So I as I see it, she attack him, hoping for a reaction and now she can play victim or something? Or am I wrong? I think in the case of Jenny Johnson herself its a matter attacking him in hopes of getting some publicty (and possibly some sympathy) and being absolved of her own responsibility via Brown’s past actions (“It’s okay to insult him because he truly is a bad person.”). I think that the folks here are trying to bypass all of that in hopes of using this as a jump off point for some bigger discussion about… Read more »
There are interesting and well documents gender differences in dealing with abuse – trolling – harassment – cyber stalking. From a well known research publication “Whilst females were concerned about injury, males were significantly more concerned about damage to reputation and financial loss.” I have been aware of these differences for some years, and I find it odd that there is so much pressure for such gendered differences to “NOT” be widely known and even talked about. Make an accusation against a woman via the net and she will perceive physical threat and harm F=28.0% M=14% . A male treated… Read more »
This Jenny Johnson is horrible comedian, because shes not funny at all..
Try picking a fights in twitter, lol, cowards, idiots, asshole
She really has a jocular thing for oral sex….maybe Chris Brown was just relating to her on a level she feels comfortable?? A bit more of the same from Jenny:
– Never Forget: Ted Danson used to go down on Whoopi Goldberg
– I bet Kenny G gives blowjobs out of the side of his mouth.
– I’d give Chaz Bono a blowjob before I watched one second of American Idol.
Ok – curiosity killed my cat Mr Hound, so I went looking for some of her funny Jenny tweets: The maker of the child’s fedora should have to give Kirk Douglas a blowjob until he ejaculates, no matter how long it takes. I’ll take “Things Dumb Whores Say” for $600 RT @KimKardashian: Why can’t people do things right the 1st time! Always gotta do stuff myself! Dear whores turned soccer moms,I’m not praying for your kid who has the sniffles and wet farts, so stop making that your Facebook status.

What would happen if you met Chris Brown?
Oh god, I’d probably run for the hills. He replied to a tweet once. I was proud that after six months of harassing the guy, all my hard work paid off
So Ellisa – that’s from May. 2, 2012 – and she’s saying she likes to provoke – harass – showing an awareness of reaction if she does say the right thing – as in provokes/harasses the right way? Is her language seen as funny because she is female – or comedian – or female comedian? Then you have the second question which is “Is Her Language Funny?”. I knew nothing of the Chris Brown Character until this last 24 hours and this thread starting – but in looking at the whole story and the history and the language being used… Read more »
“Oh god, I’d probably run for the hills. He replied to a tweet once. I was proud that after six months of harassing the guy, all my hard work paid off.”
Isn’t harassment a crime in some states? Didn’t she just admit to committing a crime? When are the people who wanted to charge Chris Brown with a crime going to demand prosecution of Jenny Johnson? I suspect never and some people don’t see white privilege.

Don’t see what is so shocking about Huffington correcting earlier errors and misleading statements when they say The Twitter feud resulted in Brown deactivating his Twitter account for a matter of hours, ...

Chris Brown’s Twitter Deactivated After Tweet War with Comedy Writer 1st – The implication that the twitter account was Turned Off is misleading – the account is back an active – it appears the CB tuned out rather than carry on with matters. 2nd – If this is war then going to Walmart is Armageddon and it just shows how language needs to be used carefully to not mislead and provoke people to think and even behave in different ways. 3rd – If people wish to say that CB should not have reacted to what was written, they may need… Read more »

@ Mr Supertypo – Actually as I keep looking at the background and how this has been playing out over the years, It actually gets worse. Again to keep some people’s reactive natures under control, I have to make clear that I knew Sweet FA about this pair – Brown and Johnson – until this thread came up.

What comes out of the murk is the issue of Bullying – in particular how bullies defend themselves and their… Read more »
MediaHound – When the article was written, the account WAS off. Second, this may not be a story to YOU, but it’s a story to a lot of people. Let’s remember here that a very, very famous man beat his girlfriend up so badly he was arrested and found guilty. Now, he’s still super famous, despite getting in more fights and using threatening language.

Sure, I agree, she ABSOLUTELY should have expected this.… Read more »
Uh, hello, he’s a victim of verbal abuse and harassment. Hate him all you want but if you punch him, he’s still a victim AND an abuser. In fact a lot of abusers are probably victims at one point, they aren’t destined to one role. Do you think he is not a victim of harassment or abuse? Is anyone doubting that he’s a risk to women he is dating? I think he’s a trainwreck personally but still they both acted like dipshits, yet tbh I think in this twitter case alone she did worse with the 3 years of harassment… Read more »
To the rest of the world it is clear?
Such an interesting claim. I think you have over stepped again – and if you are right I am flattered by the compliment! It’s not everyday that I’m told I’m so singularly unique as a man. Of course I do regard some ofthe rfolks as my mentors – Ghandi – M L King and even mandela!
You’re right, of course that’s not a factual statement. It’s an exaggeration. I’m exaggerating for effect.
But I stand by everything else I said.
@Joanna Schroeder
You’re right, of course that’s not a factual statement. It’s an exaggeration. I’m exaggerating for effect.
Thank you for clarifying that you do that. It so hard to respond in rational ways to undisclosed exaggeration. It’s also seen as rather difficult to find a tactful way to raise the issue without others being needlessly defensive – and even claiming it has not happened.
So thank you – I’m sure it will assist many in progressing in discussion. P^)

@MediaHound: I can’t believe you haven’t sniffed the goings on the, ‘Why Black Women are ALSO Afraid of Black Men” thread. The relationship between ideas and words is so cloaked in such disturbingly harsh and creepy tones it’s a wonder my computer doesn’t melt when I put this stuff on the screen.Nonetheless, there is much to explore and analyze.
“Just ask Rihanna if she mad”
Don’t need to ask her, just look at the picture of her beaten up face you caused. What a dumb schmuck
Just thought I’d add; because of the conviction for a brutal assault, the second comment carried the implication, not that Rhianna liked sucking it, but that she’d been beaten into submission, and so would that woman be if she messed with him. So, this dude really was skating on thin ice. He needs to get a grip on his rage.
Oh my goodness, this discussion has snowballed? Fuck off is not the same as a statement of sexual intent, eg. ‘I”l fuck you in the ass’. The latter is a threat, and, although context can be an aggravating factor, mens rea is irrelevant. So, don’t use the word ‘I’! Yes, the law refers to that which a reasonable person would find threatening, but, although the test is pretty objective, remember the thin skull rule may apply. (In other words, you must assume that everybody would feel threatened.) In the absence of a possible perceived threat, people have the right to… Read more »
I take that as US based you are also looking at Intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED) which to my understanding is more and more being given the same weight in tort as battery. In other countries different legal rules apply! P^) … including Mens Rea. Eggshell – Thin Skull Rule gets more interesting, because as time passes there is an onward erosion as to what language means and how it is used – so “Suck On It” as a general scornful aside could and I’m sure will be made to be taken as a direct threat in one case… Read more »
One could make the case that tweeting (or merely saying) “Fuck you!” is a threat of sexual violence. After all, it’s an imperative statement using a word (“fuck”) that everyone knows means to engage in sex with, and the tone suggests that the speaker intends to do so whether the listener consents or not. It’s such a sexually charged word that of course it must literally be interpreted as an expression of sexual intent. So, you could make that case…but it would be a ridiculous case, detached from what the idiom means in everyday language, to speakers and listeners alike.… Read more »
Yeah I agree with you on this. I do think he escalated it when he didn’t have to, but I think what many people are responding to (myself included) is the implication that by calling him a piece of s*** made it acceptable for him to respond how he did. It’s kind of a parallel with “s/he asked for it” which is something that tees me off. Your other point about Twitter is interesting too….it seems fair to say that they engage in selective censorship, but because (like Google used to be) they have been a benevolent dictator everyone seems… Read more »
If “suck my dick” is approaching felony assault now, does that mean “kiss my ass” is a misdemeanor? LOL – and does that mean “Stop Breaking My Balls” is code for “Please Dial 911.” ? But when it comes to “Kiss My Ass” The big issue is tongues – cos without it would only be assault, but with it becomes forcing a person to commit rape – to penetrate. Of course the use of language coupled with only recently changed definitions of rape do make idiomatic use of language interesting. … and as rape by envelopment is not recognised, any… Read more »
^^^ This x 1 milllllionnnnn.
I see that Mr Brown’s Twitter Account is open again – so I take it that the implication that it was closed by some other party and implying sanction can now be dropped?
If they’re both provoking each other? I think they’re both assholes. Send em both to the naughty room! And Chris reallllly doesn’t learn does he? I’m shocked he still gets support. If he were a tv presenter in Aus he’d be fired so quick for that shit. How the hell does he still have any support?
F*ck Chris Brown, and F*ck Jenny Johnson , both of them are assholes and idiots. Period. And lol at this comedy writer starting the fight with tweets, like another idiots out there. If you want a fight, go meet that people and start a fight, don’t be a coward and starting a fight in social media.
I don’t like CB but I don’t like Jenny aslo. Both of them are just cowards.
He is like a time bomb ready to go off…
He is just pathetic to watch….
Too easy to mock him…. better to just ignore him….
@ Leia – sorry but your comment does leave an uneasy feeling! I’m sure that If a man spoke in that way about a women – no matter who – he would be getting at the least tinted and most likely painted with the Sexist Motif and Lots of it. I remember quite a few news stories about a Mrs Rebekah Mary Brooks (née Wade) who was married to a Mr Ross Kemp. The police got called to a domestic with him injured and her cautioned by police. She happens to also be an ex newspaper editor and CEO and… Read more »
“take them teeth out when u Sucking my dick HOE.”
Is this considered sexual violence or verbal abuse? I’ve had the “suck my dick bitch/faggot/fuckhead/asshole/fatfuck/C***/asshole/dickhead” said to me so many times but I thought it was just simply verbal abuse? Hell my friends even say it to me in a bullshit manner. Are my friends being sexually violent to me?
Reminds me of Demi Moore in GI Jane telling the Master Chief to “Suck Her Dick”! I wonder how that should all be contextualised – is Demi going trans – Being Sexist in claiming she has genitals she does not – or is she expressing high level of displeasure at another persons contempt and provocation? It’s one thing having banter between friends – and quite another someone you don’t know. I feel so inadequate not being Clairvoyant, Clairaudient, Clairesentient and so globally disconnected and unable to travel in time. So many just see a pixel and are able to know… Read more »
To be honest I googled it as I didn’t realize it was considered sexual violence, I thought of it more as just general fucktardness with verbal abuse. I hear it soooo often, the shit my friends n I say to each other can be pretty vile but I’m curious if when I say “suck my dick” to a friend is it actually violent if my intentions are to jest and they do the same? Does it need an intent behind it to become verbally n sexually abusive?
As I said above, Archy, follow this logically: A woman HATES you, she thinks you’re worthless. Your response (if you’re Chris Brown) is to tell her to suck your dick. Take the commonplace nature of this term and forget it for a moment. What does it mean? It means that a man is telling a woman who doesn’t like him that she is supposed to perform a sexual act on him. That’s sexual assault. It’s intended to be scary, degrading and offensive. It doesn’t make her his opponent in a verbal fight, it makes her his victim. And while people… Read more »

Hos usually perform sex acts for money and are not sexually assaulted. You need to read the whole tweet.
Good point, it could be reinforcing the fact he is calling her a prostitute.
Joanna, I’ve said this to a woman and a man before that I’ve HATED. I didn’t imply anything to do with rape or forced sex. I implied a big “fuck you” to them. It’s a term so often used loosely, just like “I’ll kill you” which may mean they wanna kill you, or it may mean they hate your guts. He may mean she’s supposed to suck it, or he may mean it as a fuck you. SMD isn’t an automatic rape statement. Do you think homophobic men who say “suck my dick, faggot” want the male they’re talking about… Read more »
Well – having discussed the idea of guilt with many people, for “Suck My Dick” to be criminally abusive you would need to prove “Mens Rea” – that there was absolute intent, even pre meditated, to be abusive (as well as a valid legal statute in force to make it illegal) On a basic view – telling someone to suck an organ has no significance unless there is legitimate expectation that the person receiving the words will be upset-alarmed-distressed and the person saying it knows this to be the case! Just being a by stander is not a position to… Read more »
Just anecdotally: I had a man try to barge into my place of work (long story) and I told him, “Get the fuck out!” and he said, “Fuck you. I’ll fuck your ass!” (not eloquent, but effective) and then when I called 911 he left. Now, technically he was trespassing, but he was a member of the paparazzi and I worked in a store full of celebrities, so him trespassing wasn’t exactly uncommon. But he got arrested for saying “I’ll fuck your ass” to me, spent a week in jail and I got a 3 year restraining order against him… Read more »
@Joanna – I get your views on The Political Nature of Language, and there is as striking correlation of how language which is seen as sexualised and about women has under feminist theory all become about committing rape and assault – victimising women. It’s a very natural progression from the Marxists and then Marxists-Feminist roots that were laid down in the 60/70’s. At the extreme, any verbal (and even none verbal) communication can be taken as Offensive if the person receiving it states it’s offensive. I’ve seen lectures of how any language which can be attributed to power and attributed… Read more »
I didn’t really realize that saying that could get any form of jailtime. If he had said just “fuck you” would he get jailtime still or was that mainly over the trespassing + “ill fuck your ass”? I’ve heard the term “suck my cock” soooo much that I’m probably desensitized to it, and had quite a few times where it was said with harmful intent but generally I think most people say it as another form of “fuck you” vs implying anything sexual. Although when you start saying ho, etc it does seem to target it towards that poster in… Read more »
Makes sense. I guess my friends n I aren’t guilty:P. Some of the shit we discuss is pretty extreme but if a stranger said it, it’d be annoying as hell and they’d probably cop n earful. I always thought of sexual violence as more physical, or coersive vs just saying suck my dick. Would kiss my ass be considered sexual violence too?
You know who’s getting none of the blame for this? Twitter itself. I get that it and other social media are here to stay, and occasionally they serve some useful purpose, but mostly I think these modes of communication cause more harm than good. Minor insults or squabbles that would blow over without notice in the past are treated as if they’re meaningful and important, just because the technology exists for a few thousand or more people to witness every little thing. Fleeting moments of anger or poor judgment get treated as evidence of what total shits people are, until… Read more »
…Walkmans…
[offtopic]
walkmans were so damn cool, the size of a brick, but works-of-80s-art. i used to drool over them, and when they added the auto reverse mechanism to the cassette player – wooah, next stop, ‘back to the future’ hoverboards babie
i wonder if they are hipster cool now, like typewriters
I remember a few years ago Kathy Griffin was doing a New Years Eve show (I think) and someone was ragging on her, telling her to get off stage. She responded by saying, “I don’t take the dick out of your mouth when you’re doing your job, so don’t interrupt me when I’m doing mine.”
So is such escalation always a problem or only a problem when its done to women?
Why are some people trying to bring race into this? This man has demonstrated that he is out of control, and has a real problem with women, and with anger. Women are not safe around him.
The reason why is because is precisely what you said.
“Women are not safe around him.”
Yet, we have a woman who felt entitled enough to attack him without provocation and expected to be protected by society. The tweet she initially responded to was innocent by what I can tell.
Joanna, When someone wants to offend or hurt another person they reach for something that they are sure will hurt. In light of not having actual personal details about Jenny Johnson he chose to go after a gender based attack because he concluded it to be something that he could reach for in order to hurt her with. So to answer your question, he went there because he wanted to hurt her. Take a man/woman couple that is arguing. He says something that hurts her so she goes into insulting his sexual prowess. Why? Because she wants to hurt him.… Read more »
Honestly I think Chief Keef is worse. He celebrated the death of another Chiraq youth and has had his instagram deleted at least twice (3 times actually). Once for showing a picture of him getting a blowjob and another time for bringing the strip club home. Unfortunately it ain’t just the “bitches” who love Sosa so he has some staying power.
I think as a personal rule, people should expect to be treated the same way they treat others. From what I can tell, Jenny Johnson started with the vulgarities calling him a piece of shit. Had she said beating on women instead, then I would have no sympathy for Chris Brown. I don’t like having sympathy for Chris Brown. Thanks a lot, Jenny.
I do not believe that qualifies as sexual violence, sexist verbal abuse sure. But here is my question, what exactly was her reasoning for responding? Knowing their past interactions and what his responses would be, she did nothing more than bait him. Yes, he was stupid for taking the bait, but i’m sorry, she does not get to play damsel in distress here, and the fact that everyone is jumping down his throat proves my point. They were both in the wrong, but the story has not been articulated as such, she instigated the situaiton, got the response she was… Read more »
I don’t disagree that it’s about publicity. Her job as a comedy writer is to be a provocateur on Twitter by poking at guys like Brown.
But again, why does it become about her blowing him anyway? I don’t get this.
I get why he attacked her back. I do, and she should’ve known it would happen (even this way) and I do NOT see her as a damsel in distress, but I do think his responses represent a way in which his only response is to devalue/humiliate her sexually.
And the the “ask Rihanna” response is deeply troubling.
Not sure I buy into the whole “white privilege” slant either. How does that all play into what happened with Rhianna, Jenny Johnson, fighting with Drake or awaiting the word of the court in January? Celebrity does indeed have it’s benefits. I am pretty sure I couldn’t go to finish my “european” business and deal with the judge when it is convenient for my schedule if I had allegedly violated my probation. The problem seems to be more celebrity privilege rather than oppressive white privilege. Mr Brown obviously thinks he can do , act, or say anything he chooses, with… Read more »
I don’t see any valid points made by you, Jack, especially in absence of knowledge of what happened at each of these unrelated incidents of which none had Brown as the instigator. There is not any evidence which supports your point within that paragraph you wrote. Brown is not drunk with celebrity privilege; as far as it seems, he’s a young man who is is growing up in the public eye. That’s it. His reactions are normal.
What I DO know first hand is that in most states , who the instigator is doesn’t matter, its the violation of the law. I DO know that for offenses as simple as running a stop light people have had their probation and parole violated., Most people who are not celebrities, especially young, aren’t allowed to leave the state much less the country. I don’t need evidence for those things, I’ve lived them. AND seen them thousands of times. As far as evidence goes, the courts found him guilty enough to put him on probation, and require anger management classes.… Read more »
Celebrities get treated differently that’s true. They usually, but don’t always get treated better. Celebrities are also targets. Just off the top of my head I remember Michael Jordan, Rick Pitino, and David Letterman being the targets of extortion from women they had sex with. I suspect that these women would have lodged false rape accusations against these men followed by civil suits, but opted instead for extortion. These are essentially unreported false rape accusations. A good society tries to protect the most vulnerable. We have tougher laws when children, the elderly and disabled are victimized because we know that… Read more »

I think that’s a GREAT question, and being as I was the editor who wrote the above post I can say conclusively… Maybe. I wish I could say “yes” but what makes this story noteworthy is not just what he said to Johnson, but the fact that his account was deactivated, apparently because of this exchange.

But I think there are multiple factors that caused Jenny’s twitter exchange for him to be considered so important, one being her large following on Twitter, another being her appearance (blonde, white, pretty) and another being that her responses were clever. And her gender.
