Vanessa Carlton Slams Chris Brown for Posting Her Song on International Women's Day
Vanessa Carlton has slammed Chris Brown for sharing a video of her song “A Thousand Miles” on his Instagram account on International Women’s Day.
Chris posted the video and said, “Mood. This song lit forever.”
Vanessa responded by posting a statement on her Instagram account that said, “Today Chris Brown posted my video. I am now being repeatedly tagged to his account. Being that today is International Women’s Day I feel compelled to draw a line. I support survivors, not perpetrators of domestic violence. I do not want to be associated with an artist that has assaulted women on a day like today. Thank you.”
Chris was arrested in 2009 for assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
Chris responded to Vanessa‘s post by saying, “I posted a song that was and still is a great song and the artist felt she was doing her duty as a WOMAN to continue to spread this kind of hatred today. I won’t keep it up long. I just hope she knows she is loved and her song is great.”
