Chris Brown loses Wrigley and Got Milk ad deals Rihanna assault
[PIC]. Sponsors do not look kindly on domestic violence, something
Chris Brown learned the hard way in 2009.
In
addition to becoming an international pariah after being charged with
felony assault against then-girlfriend Rihanna, the R&B singer was
dumped by sponsor Wrigley, whose Doublemint gum he had promoted for more
than a year.
"He was the guy all the girls wanted to date," one music critic said at the time. "Now that's shattered."
Brown also had his "Got Milk?" ads pulled from circulation, and has since faced a long road to redemption.
His album, "F.A.M.E.," was released, featuring four top singles ahead of its debut.
