Chris Brown offers advice to Ray Rice the former NFL player who was release from the Baltimore Ravens after he was seen punching his then fiance (now wife) on video. Back in 2009 Chris assaulted Rihanna which led to jail time, probation and a lot of negative press he knows what Rice is going through. Brown said:
To Ray [Rice], or anybody else — because I’m not better than the next man — I can just say I’ve been down that road. I deal with situations and I’ve made my mistakes too, but it’s all about how you push forward and how you control yourself.
I still talk to my therapist twice a week, and it helps me to…if I’m frustrated and I’m dealing with something, to vent and say what I’m going through so I can hear from an actual clinical person, ‘this is how you should react,’ or ‘it’s good to feel this way because feelings, emotions, and energy are supposed to come and go. It’s not supposed to stay there, you’re not supposed to keep it inside, because it’ll bottle up and you’ll become a monster.
