Wrigley, the Doublemint gum creator, said on Thursday it had ended a commercial deal with Chris Brown, following his guilty plea on charges of assaulting Rihanna.
This is where his salary begin to go south!
Brown had been a spokesman for Doublemint gum and his hit song "Forever" was part of Wrigley's advertising campaign.
Following Chris Brown's February arrest on suspicion of attacking Rihanna in Los Angeles the night before the Grammy Awards, Wrigley said it was "concerned" by the allegations against him.
Maintaining that Chris Brown deserved due legal process, Wrigley said at the time it was suspending its commercial featuring the singer until the matter was "resolved."
But with Chris Brown pleading guilty in June to punching (haha, punching! It sounds funny) Rihanna until she was bleeding and bruised, Wrigley said on Thursday it had "ended" its deal with the him.
Brown, whose hit songs include "Run It" and "Kiss Kiss," agreed in his plea to serve five years probation and perform 180 days of community service in his home state of Virginia.
Wrigley's disclosure came a day after a judge delayed a sentencing hearing for Brown to make sure his punishment included physical labor such as road cleanup.
Oh well. You get what you paid for.
