Chris Brown May Face Lawsuit Over Wrigley Gum Ads

Chris Brown may be facing another legal blow if recent rumors are true related to his canned relationship with Wrigley.
As previously reported on Singersroom, Wrigley dropped its relationship with the singer shortly after news broke that he would be facing charges in connection with beating Rihanna in February.
According to recent reports, Wrigley had just signed a five year deal with Brown when his altercation with Rihanna occurred. In addition the gum maker had shot multiple commercials and photos for print ads that were to be used over an extended period of time. However, due to their dissolved relationship the company has lost millions.
"..They are said to be preparing to sue Chris for all the money they lost due to his bad behavior. They spent big bucks on ads featuring Chris along with other celebrities like JayZ and Mariah Carey," sources say of a particular campaign that included group photos to be used in ads.
"Since Chris was in them also – everything had to be ditched. Wrigley is mad and we hear they hope to recoup the money Chris caused them to lose with a big fat lawsuit."
In related news, Brown is gearing up for the release of his second single, titled "Crawl". Accompanying the Lil Wayne assisted single "I Can Transform Ya," Brown's "Crawl" will be released prior to his anticipated studio album "Graffiti".

Ele só não ficou preso pq é uma pessoa famosa e pública se fosse um pobre coitado já estava na cadeia faz tempo.
shawakatima, has a right to voice her opinion just like the rest of all of us people this is a message board. and nothing that the rest of us say is gospel, people just have their opinions. chris has people in line to handle the gum company, what gets me is the radio stations that stopped playing his music now to me that was wrong. he has gone to court and its all out there and i still do not hear his music playing a lot thats just not right. and he should have been able to perform at the bet awards show and they blocked him there, thats wrong. and he did a michael jackson song at one of the awards shows earlier and he tore it up. janet can dance just like her brother step to step and chris is the next person who dances just like michael and they did him like that its not right. and thats what needs to stop , treating him like a second class citizen, let the young man make money. i feel that he will rise again ., and go all the way to the top.
WRIGLEY IS THE ONE WHO MESSED UP, CHRIS BROUGHT FLAVOR TO THEIR ADS NOW THEY ARE BACK TO THEIR TIRED COMMERCIALS, YOU KNOW I HAVE OBSERVED THE HATERS AND ITS NOT ABOUT HIM ASSAULTING RIRI , THEY ARE JEALOUS OF CHRIS SUCCESS, GET A LIFE HATERS!!!!
Chrissie... neither did Josh Brolin, Christian Bale, Sean Penn, Christian Slater, David Hassleroff, Ozzy Osbourn,Terrence Howard, Ridd*** Bowe,Eminem,Tracy Lawrence,Harry Morgan( M*A*S*H star ) should I gone on because theses are just a few of the celebrities that have abused women... and their names weren't dragged through the media.. H3Lll, Roman Polanski has the support of Hollywood and he raped a child or don't that count as abuse... Hateful words from the likes of you and others just make his followers strongers, no matter what few words a few of you say,the majority of the comments are in his favor.. sorry we rule...
fuc! off woman beater !
GOOD! Karma's a b****! I hope they sue him for everything he is worth! No good loser!
Well, they said preparing and I have only read it on two web sites, I'm sure if they do pursue it that Chris Brown has a legal team to handle it. As the person said in another comment, Kobe Bryant had a McDonald commerical focuing on family, what they did was hold back, yes Kobe lost a great amount of his endorsements but, he did get the majority back, also doing his charges, he was booed every time he played basketball, what I'm saying is Chris just continue to give 100% in your performance and recordings and your true fans will be right there. Wrigley's need to get over it, you fired him he didn't quit,all those of lame twin commerical was long past due for something new and Chris was it! You blew it!!!
