Chris Brown has made another public relations “misstep”. And no, I’m not calling a violent attack on his girlfriend a “misstep,” I’m calling all of Chris’s disastrous media relations post-beating “missteps.” Chris has shown himself to be a f-cking idiot when it comes to managing his own image, and I really and truly have no sympathy for him. Anyway, these are photos of Chris in Paris attending Jean-Paul Gaultier’s “warrior-themed” runway show. Since Gaultier loves his themes and loves his drama, he dressed up by applying some fake blood and bruises to his face. And there’s Chris, posing like a moron beside him, like Chris just gave him a beat-down.

It took us all of one millisecond to realise that this picture was a very bad idea – so WHY would Chris Brown do this?

Ok, so maybe he is as thick as he looks, but surely someone could have stopped him from taking this horrendously tasteless picture?

Given that the words ‘violent d-ckhead’ are synonymous with Chris Brown, posing with Jean Paul Gaultier (who must also be pretty dim) with a fake black eye and fat lip is not the best way to get past attacking Rihanna.

Which we assume he is trying to achieve by hanging out at celebrity parties and smiling like a complete fool.

Fame Pictures notes that Gaultier’s show featured “pro-fighter themes and adorned himself in the same brutalized fake blood and bruises as his models.” If you were Chris Brown, and you were known around the world as the violent piece of sh-t that beat and strangled your girlfriend, wouldn’t you steer clear of any public event that used words like “warrior” or “blood” or “bruises” or “brutal”? Wouldn’t you only go to events that had the words “kittens” or “cotton candy” or “fluffy” in the description?
