When Mekhi Phifer’s character died on ER I cried. I thought that ER would never be the same without him around. But then I hear him defending (even though he says he isn’t)  Chris Brown and what he did to Rihanna and know I think differently about Mekhi.

“People make mistakes—and while I don’t condone what happened that night, you know, what Chris did to her—I remember being young, 19, and at that age it seemed like everything was so over-the-top, and everyone’s so passionate about things at the age.”

And to further put his foot into his mouth he goes on to explain how this situation might effect the both of them.

“I think this whole thing will affect him, and I think it will affect her,” he said. “With both of them, their fan base is mainly women and kids, so I don’t know what kind of example that leads, but like I said, I wish them all the best.”

Mekhi starred in the movie This Christmas with Chris back in 2007. I think the whole situation is horrible and shouldn’t be looked upon as positive in any way. I don’t care how old Chris is, he didn’t have to treat Rihanna the way he did. Someone once told me, “You can’t help what you think, but you can help what you do with those thoughts.”
