Joyce Hawkins: Not Ashamed of Son Chris Brown
After her son's formal sentencing to five years' probation this week for beating Rihanna, Chris Brown's mom Joyce Hawkins has spoken out for the first time.
Thanking fans for standing by her troubled 20-year-old son, Hawkins posted the following comments on the singer's fan site, TheChrisBrownFanClub.com:
"I want to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your continued support. I'm sorry I wasn't allowed to speak to anyone as the case was ongoing."
"I can now say this has been the most painful moment in my entire life, but knowing that you were still standing by Chris' side made it a little easier for us."
"Because of all your prayers, God brought him through."
Chris Brown and his mom Joyce Hawkins.
"I just want to say God has never failed me and never will. All moms and dads please stand by your children and pray for their goodness each and every day."
"I made a promise. I would never be ashamed of him no matter where I am or who I talk to. You see this whole thing isn't about Chris Brown, it's about God."
"He wants to show all of you the goodness of him through Chris. Chris will be addressing all of his fans very soon. We love you so much and so does God."
On Wednesday, both Chris and his mother taped a revealing interview - his first since the February 8 beating - with Larry King, which will air September 2.
It's certainly hard to fault Joyce for sticking by her son, but evoking God can only do so much. Given Brown's history of violence, it's on him to set a better example and prove that he deserves the second chance he's been given.

Chris Brown this is just a way for the media to try and make an example out of a good man,who has never done anything wrong in the publics eye, now if this had been the other way around the joke would still be on Chris , this ain't the first time they have fought she been hitting him too, he just clicked.Chris Brown do not deserve all this bashing,plus Jay-Z aint perfect, im sure he

This is the dumbest statement I've ever heard...no wonder he beats women because he has a dumb slut for a mom. He probably use to slap his twat mom around when she didn't give him the toys he wanted. What normal parent wouldn't be ashamed of their child who beats a woman down like she's a man? Chris Browns' career is over, but don't worry Chris the Taco Bell by the crib needs someone to clean the toilets...

i think they came down too hard on chris when every day men beat and rape women, they act like this is the first time a woman and a man get into a fight i got hit by a man once and it was just a slap and it was the worst thing that ever happen to me bi think they should leave the boy alone , all u people dont know what a real wife beater is i grew up watching that ,also thing every one has a temper so its time to let it go it is not that serious he is a great singer.let it go people.

okay; CB was on the record of sayin his childhood had abuse between his dad n mom; and on the Tyra Banks Show he said himself he never lay a hand on any woman; UNTIL now; He literally gave her a good ole fashion beat down; not no scrapes or scratches; he knock the snot outta her; he mah boi but he lost true brownie points from me; so what of all the gossip n stories of Rihanna; just think to yourself;"put yourself in Rihanna's shoes" would you want to get struck and basically whipped by a dude regaardless of the situation??

I cant say that when Chris gets a new album that I wont be the first to buy it because I will. But everyone needs to realiza that even though this was his first time beting up a woman whether his has a violent past or not it s still WRONG.Rihanna is a victim in every way possible and what Chris did was absolutely wrong. I do believe that Chris is sorry but I do feel that this should be his first and very last time doing this to a anyone let alone a woman. I do think he can jump back from this and it was take a long time to get it together again. but i just cant get past that he did tauch a woman like that. It ws wrong and deep down in my heart I hope Chris really does mean sorry and isnt just say it or posting it on video because its the right thing to do.
