Chris Brown bit Rihanna and beat her the night of the Grammys, and now the young star is facing dire legal consequences.
His peers are speaking out too.
R&B star Mario, who just collaborated with Rihanna on a song called Emergency Room, reacted to the recent charges against Chris Brown.
On the set of “Extra,” Mario said, “I know Chris…I’ve never known him as being an abusive guy. It’s very unfortunate. Nobody really knows all the details. But it’s very unfortunate.”
Mario adds, “Yeah, I've seen them [Brown and Rihanna] together out before. They seem like a really cool couple…”
“Extra’s” interview with Mario airs tonight.
