Sean Penn beat the fuck out of Madonna and he won an Oscar and people love him.
The public's memory for things like this is depressingly short, and fans ability to rationalize away behavior like this solely because they like the celebrity also grosses me out. I've already seen comments on gossip sites talking about how "Chris Brown is really a good guy at heart" or "Rihanna must've thrown the first punch, she deserved it"...
No, when a guy who was raised seeing his mother get beat decides to continue the cycle of abuse by getting drunk, driving, and beating his girlfriend to a pulp even though he knows it will rain down havoc on his career... that person is NOT a good man. He's a violent asshole without any self control.
But in 10 years he'll probably be winning a Grammy or something, because the public just doesn't give a shit about this sort of thing once the next big drama comes along.
