How long are you allowed to have your Twitter deleted before you lose all your followers?

I do think men in general too often get away with beating the **** out of women SO I don't really feel sorry for Chris.

Charlie Sheen has managed to escape jail time for the Christmas Day 2009 assault on his wife, Brooke Mueller.
As part of a plea deal, the "Two and a Half Men" star pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor third-degree assault charge; in exchange, the prosecution dropped two other more serious charges, including a felony charge of menacing.
The "menace" was only sentenced to 30 days in a rehabilitation center, 30 days of probation and 36 hours of anger management; however, it is not certain Sheen will have to spend 30 days in rehab because he has already spent 93 days at Promises Treatment Center in California this year.
Sheen's attorney, Yale Galanter, says the time already spent at the rehab facility could count towards the current sentence.
The charges stemmed from a domestic dispute that occurred between Sheen and his wife, in which he allegedly threatened to kill her and brandished a knife after she told him she wanted a divorce.

I do see the black & white point, I do ... but then I think there's been just a lot of black men that are known abusers too and we don't even remember they did it because it was a clean slate within a few days because they're charming or sing or act so good. Same as white men. Didn't Brian McKnight have issues?
The thing is Facebook and Twitter have become huge in the last couple of years and you can directly communicate with each other and these people.
Chris does get the Ike Turner treatment - and if anything in the anals of pop-star beatings Sean appeared to be somewhat closer to the Ike department; not that anybody has Ike beat - both being black men.

Notice how the writer of the article also feels that was unreasonable.
This is an issue of class, not necessarily race. The very wealthy can get around the law in a very sick way on this issue.

This is true but what is also true is that Charlie is seen in a better light and even had a roast show on Comedy Central.
CB continues to get dragged by the media and other stars for the same offense in the same time frame.

You totally missed my point which was "AND" Twitter (speaking to each other and actors directly like never before) + Facebook existed to the degree they do. In a lot of the other cases, the social element of the internet was either non-existent or much more watered down.
Here's the Sean Penn + Madonna historics:
Quote:
The pair fought openly throughout over how the movie should be made - both with each other and the director. Penn would tell Madonna that she knew nothing about films and should stick to singing.
Madonna hated the process of filming, fell ill and refused to do a modest stunt which involved falling into water. Penn, a method actor who had learned Mandarin to prepare himself for the role, was not impressed.
There was one violent argument, which ended with Madonna fleeing their hotel room and Penn banging on the door, shouting abuse.
'You are a paranoid control freak!' Madonna yelled.
'At least I can act!' he fired back. In truth, both were utterly obnoxious on the set. The publicist quit after two days, saying: 'Penn is an arrogant little creep, and his wife goes along with him.'
Former Beatle George Harrison, whose company was producing the movie, reportedly had to fly out to Hong Kong to tell them to grow up and start behaving.
Though Penn would have many tantrums over the media attention they attracted, the real meat of his rages seemed to centre on who was in control in the relationship.
When Madonna was with Penn, she always had her guard up. She told back-up singer Erica Bell: 'It's just too exhausting with Sean. I'm only a woman. How much can I take?'
Penn's drinking exacerbated the problem. In an interview given a decade later, he admitted about his marriage: 'I was not of sober mind during most of it.'
Camille Barbone observed: 'Sean drinks from morning till night.'
In June 1987, Madonna went to the Cedars Sinai hospital for an X-ray after Penn apparently hit her across the head with a baseball bat. At the time, they had been having a heart-to-heart talk about reconciling.
Madonna did not make an official complaint because Penn was about to serve a short jail term for attacking a film extra. He served 33 days of a 60-day sentence in the Los Angeles County jail (23 hours a day in solitary) for violating the probation he'd been given for punching a fan.
He was released into his wife's arms, only for her to throw him out of a taxi a few hours later after yet another set-to.
Their violent arguments were exhausting for everyone, but Madonna hesitated to admit that the marriage had failed. Though she saw lawyers about getting a divorce, she hung on for a full year to see if it could be saved.
It was a decision she would come to regret. In the late afternoon of December 28, 1989, Penn scaled the wall surrounding the Malibu house and found Madonna alone in the master bedroom.
According to a report filed by Madonna with the Malibu sheriff's office, the two began to quarrel. Penn told her he owned her 'lock, stock and barrel'.
When she told him she was leaving the house, he tried to bind her hands with an electric lamp and cord. Screaming and afraid, Madonna fled from the bedroom. What followed was a nine-hour ordeal which left her deeply shaken.
Penn chased her into the living room, caught her and bound her to a chair with heavy twine. Then he threatened to cut off her hair.
According to the police report, Penn was 'drinking liquor straight from the bottle' and the abuse went on for several hours, during which time he smacked and roughed up his victim.
He went out to buy more alcohol, leaving Madonna bound and gagged. Some hours later, he returned and continued his attacks.
Madonna said that he untied her after she agreed to perform a degrading sex act on him. She then fled the house and ran to her car.
Penn ran after her and was banging on the windows of her Thunderbird while she spoke to police on her mobile phone. Fifteen minutes later, she staggered into the sheriff's office.
Lieut Bill McSweeny said: 'I hardly recognised her as Madonna. She was weeping, her lip was bleeding and she had obviously been struck.'
Penn was taken away in handcuffs and charged with inflicting 'corporal injury and traumatic conditions' on her, as well as committing 'battery'.
A week later, Madonna called her lawyers and told them to file divorce papers. Yet she also told Deputy District Attorney Lauren Weiss she wished to withdraw the assault charges against her husband.
The problem was not the publicity - the scandal was in all the papers. It seems she just couldn't bear to see Penn thrown into jail. She still believed that he was the love of her life, and she tortured herself wondering to what extent she was to blame for the abuse.
That perhaps explains why her brother Chris maintains that she has stayed half in love with Penn ever since. That could surely only be possible if she didn't hold him totally responsible for his actions.
At the time, she simply said: 'May God bless and keep him - but far, far from me. This marriage is over.'
But they never truly fell out of contact. When she was with Beatty, Penn called her repeatedly to say that he was too old for her. He called Beatty often, too, to tell him to leave her alone.
They were in touch again as she attempted to revive her film career with Evita, when she declared Penn to be, once again, her friend.
In fact, she welcomed him so warmly back into her life that it's said she invited him to be present at the birth of her daughter Lourdes, in 1996.

I'm thinking the pictures of a battered and bruised Rihanna made a whole lot of difference between these ppl and Chris. An image stays longer in your head than what someone says.

I think race is one of the smaller elements of it...
I think it's class, I think a lot of men no matter what their race tend to get away with it due to class (the famous class) as someone already mentioned.
With Chris it was 1. he did this to a huge pop star on the eve of a big awards show 2. he did this just as social media was reaching it's highest levels and 3. the pictures...
It's easy to think it wasn't all that bad when it's in writing. Seeing it in pictures makes it very real.
