Chris Brown didn't appear to be a man with a violent temper. But Chris Brown has a family history of domestic abuse. In 2007, he told Giant magazine about how his stepfather abused his mother for years. 

In the Giant article, Brown recalls telling his mother at the age of 11, that some day, he would go to jail by age 15 for killing his abusive stepfather:

He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, ‘I’m just gonna go crazy on him one day…’

Just goes to show the power of the domestic violence cycle. What do you think about the updated news?
