"If you’ll note, he has not been on the Grammys for the past few years and it may have taken us a while to kind of get over the fact that we were the victim of what happened."
Grammy Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich, confirming Chris Brown’s appearance on tonight’s show.
Let’s not mince words here. Ken, you weren’t “the victim” of shit. You were inconvenienced by the fact that a couple years ago, one of your performers committed felony assault by beating the absolute shit out of another one of your performers the night before your show. Rihanna had to go to the hospital, you had to fill some fucking airtime. She was the victim; you were an EP with bad judgment - judgment that you’ve proven hasn’t improved in the intervening years.
Fuck you, and fuck the show you rode in on. You want to celebrate this asshole by saying “We’re glad to have him back…”? You can do it without me - I won’t participate. You weren’t “the victim of what happened” here, and it’s fucking insulting for you to say so - it’s insulting to actual victims of domestic violence and assault, it’s insulting to people who work with those victims, and it’s insulting to anyone with an ounce of compassion.
So fuck you Ken Ehrlich, fuck the Grammy Awards, and fuck Chris Brown just for good measure. I honestly cannot fathom how you could have made a bad decision even more offensive.
