Chris Brown Shade Train: Selena Gomez, Miranda Lambert and More Stars Who Have Expressed Disgust Toward Abusive Singer

Chris Brown has a long list of celebrities who have spoken out against him over the years.

The “No Guidance” singer’s name has been dragged through the mud for more than a decade after he violently beat his then-girlfriend Rihanna before the 2009 Grammy Awards.

At the time, Brown was 19 years old and pleaded guilty to one count of felony assault for beating Rihanna, then 21, so badly that she ended up in the hospital.

Here are a list of stars who have voiced their support for the “Diamonds” hitmaker after Chris Brown’s abusive ways.

Selena Gomez

Most recently, Selena Gomez subtly shaded the “Under The Influence” vocalist when his name was announced as one of the nominees for Best R&B at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards for his collaboration with Chlöe Bailey.

As their duet track “How Does It Feel” was said over the speakers of the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., on Tuesday, September 12, the camera panned over to Gomez, catching the Wizards of Waverly Place alum looking disgusted.

Miranda Lambert

Miranda Lambert was among celebrities in 2012 to take to social media voicing their upset feelings after Brown was welcomed onto the stage at the 2012 Grammys to accept his award for Best R&B album.

It was the first time Brown had appeared at the awards show since the 2009 attack on Rihanna, and many couldn’t believe he was allowed back so soon, let alone win an award.

“Chris Brown twice?” Lambert tweeted regarding the number of times he had graced the stage. “I don’t get it. He beat on a girl…”

“Not cool that we act like that didn’t happen. He needs to listen to ‘Gunpowder and Lead’ and be put back in his place. Not at the Grammys,” the “Drunk” singer declared, referencing her hit song about a woman plotting to kill her husband once he gets out of jail.
