The Chris Brown Saga Continues

by Alanna Bennett

In another episode of a seemingly never-ending story that never ceases to depress: Chris Brown was thrown out of his rehab facility and booted into jail this past Friday. It should be noted that according to TMZ the reason for Brown's expulsion from rehab was not related to drugs and/or violence — AKA what a lot of people have sadly come to expect from him since his 2009 assault charge on Rihanna and his alleged more recent attacks on a man outside of a hotel — and, even more recently, his own mother's car. As of yet, however, we do not know the action that spurred his eviction from rehab and his subsequent placement in jail, aside from that it was due to a "failure to comply with rules and regulations of the program."

Brown was recently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and was being treated at the rehab facility for that, along with drug addiction and PTSD. According to a letter from the facility as reported by The Hollywood Reporter, “Mr. Brown became aggressive and acted out physically due to his untreated mental health disorder, severe sleep deprivation, inappropriate self-medicating and untreated PTSD."

The situation, of course, continues to be ugly, awful, and complicated. Let's just hope that he continues to get the help and treatment that he needs.
