Jermaine Jackson Asks Critics to Forgive Chris Brown

Jermaine Jackson was amazed by Chris Brown’s heart warming tribute to his brother Michael Jackson at the BET Awards on Sunday night, June 27.

As a result, he’s now calling on the R&B star’s critics to forgive him for beating up Rihanna.

Brown’s career has been like downhill ever since he pleaded guilty to lashing out at Rihanna during a fight in February 2009. Even radio stations turned down to play his records and the media has criticized his attempts at a comeback, despite countless public apologies online and on TV.

The “Kiss Kiss” singer could not help but break down during a rendition of Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” at the BET Awards and the touching cover prompted Jermaine Jackson to stand up for the young star backstage. Speaking to TV news show Extra, Jackson said, “He’s a human being like all others, we all make mistakes. What he did was wrong. I love Rihanna… I’m one of his biggest fans… We can’t condemn him because of what happened. We hope he learns from this.”

Jackson said he was greatly moved by Brown’s tribute to his late sibling, saying “It was very emotional for me… It was just a spectacular moment. He (Brown) deserves to perform because it’s healing for him. How can he learn from his mistakes if you don’t give him the chance? He needs that. I support him a thousand per cent; I’m not supporting what he did because it was wrong, but, at the same time, we have to give him a chance.”
