Chris Brown and publicist part ways
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 28 March 2011
Chris Brown’s US publicist, Tammy Brook, has announced that she and the R&B star have parted ways. The announcement comes after Brown’s much publicised violent outburst at the offices of US TV network ABC last week, when he broke a window with a chair after being questioned about his 2009 attack of former girlfriend Rihanna during an interview with ‘Good Morning America’.
Brook’s decision was probably because of the fallout from that incident, and the media interest in it, such fire-fighting not being the kind of PR she signed up for. Though she added that she had been hired to do the publicity on Brown’s new record ‘FAME’, and that now that was out her job was basically done.
She told TMZ on Friday: “I am an entertainment/music publicist and was hired as a publicist, as they often are, to work specifically on his music publicity for the term up to the release of Chris Brown’s ‘FAME’ album, which was released on Tuesday 22 Mar and is entering the Billboard and iTunes charts at number one this week. I love and support Chris and it has been an honour to be a part of this album and I look forward to the possibility of working with him again in the future”.
