Watch Elisabeth Hasselbeck Call Chris Browns Twitter Tirade was Verbal Rape. Did She Go Too far?

Believe it or not, this is the 2nd time in as many days that I’m sticking up for Chris Brown.  Apparently Whoopie and Sherri Shepherd see things the way I see.  Elisabeth, who often plays the victim, again shows her sensitivity when it comes to race, youth, or anything that does not fit into her pure, right wing ordeals.  I get it, that’s why the show works.  It works because there are opposing views, but sometime Elisabeth goes too far.

The segment starts with Whoopie reading the twitter feud tweets between comedian Jenny Johnson and Chris Brown.  Things get somewhat sexually explicit and somewhat funny.  Whoopie stops reading at one point, because we get the message but Elisabeth wasn’t about to let things end there.  She insisted upon reading the rest including the part where Brown wants to “crap” on Jenny Johnson during sex.  Whoopie defended Brown,

“I have to say, if you’re gonna mess with him [Brown], you have to expect to get your head handed to you. Now, I sort of feel like…if you feel like that and you don’t wanna fight, don’t do that, don’t do that. And I disagree with verbal rape, I don’t think that’s verbal rape. I just think both was assault. Both were verbally assaulting each other, and that is what we need to get rid of on Twitter because it happens too often and too much to too many people.”

For the most part I agree that Brown should have conducted himself a little better, but he’s only 23 and he has $22 Million dollars.  When I was $23 and got my first I might have tweeted out the same thing if you verbally attacked me first.

I’m the first one to bash Chris Brown.  I’m not over the Rihanna beatings…but I should be.  He did his time, Rihanna forgave him and the law has forgiven him.  I’m so different then I was when I was 19 and 20, I have to start seeing Chris for who he might be now.

That being said, Elisabeth was having no part.  Her inability to listen and consider another view point is apparent, as Sheri Shepherd gives a compelling defense is indicative of who she is, and why Whoopie and Sheri seem to be annoyed.  Hasselbeck just insised,

“It was vile, disgusting and I stand by verbal rape,”

You have to admit, it makes good tv….Well Played Barbara Walters and ABC….Well Played.

Chris Brown has a Net worth of $22 Million
