Operation Misery: Month 13, Week 2, Day 4

Obviously we are all expected to concentrate really closely on the super top-secret information that Britain's Rolls-Royce have provided to Malaysia and which Malaysia has then shared with the US for clues about this. For example yesterday (14/3/14) evening (UK time) it was announced that the lithium batteries on Malaysian airlines Boeing 777 flight MH370 could be a possible cause for its disappearance. The lithium-ion batteries on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner were of course used extensively to discuss why Chris Brown was not in prison - Cell 6 was specifically suggested.

However what we do know is that yesterday morning (local time) Chris Brown was thrown out of the rehab facility where he was staying for an, as yet, undisclosed infraction. As Brown's stay in this rehab facility is mandated as part of his probation the judge handling the case - Judge Gluber - issued a warrant for Brown's arrest. That warrant was executed at around 13:00 (local time)/21:00(GMT) and Brown is currently being held, in prison, on remand without bail. Experience suggests that over the course of the next working week Brown will be recalled to the Gluber's courtroom so this can all be swept under the carpet. In the meantime Brown is facing the violation of probation offence that carries a maximum 4 year prison sentence.

In terms of the wider context I have been thinking that something like this is likely for a while now. Basically when rumours about Rihanna and Drake dating began to emerge Chris Brown took the news very badly. Obviously this prompted his then girlfriend Kerruche Tran to dump because he was clearly still obsessed with his ex. Since then everybody has been having a good laugh at Rihanna and Drake's attempts to convince us that they're dating. That has obviously left Brown feeling more then a little bit foolish and its really only been a matter of time before he blew up again. In fact Brown is that prone to aggression and violence one wonders how many similar incidents the rehab facility have been forced to cover-up in the last couple of weeks.

As for Rihanna she has now left Drake's tour in Manchester, UK and returned to New York City, USA. As the charade with Drake has never been anything other then a death sentence for Rihanna this is clearly good news. However because she has involved herself in Drake's tour it will continue to damage Rihanna. For example there is going to be tension about whether Rihanna will continue to drop in an out of nations as Drake's tour continues. As such Rihanna really needs to make a strong statement making it clear that she is going to have nothing more to do with Drake and will instead be using the upcoming months to bring her career back from the dead. Obviously staying in the UK meet up with me would have done that.
