CLAIM: Chris Brown Weight Loss Due to Love Triangle with Rihanna, Career Woes

Truth rating: 0

(Allieiswired.com)

Chris Brown is looking shockingly skinny now-a-days, but what’s causing the dramatic weight loss?” asks Allie Is Wired.

According to the blog, and other sites spreading similar rumors, Brown has allegedly been shedding pounds because he’s “despondent over his stalled career and his loveless relationship with girlfriend Karrueche Tran.”

Explains a so-called “source” quoted on various blogs, “He’s only with her for his public image.”

RELATED – Chris Brown Has Dog Breeding Business?

The supposed “confidential informant” adds that Brown isn’t “in love” with Tran, but is secretly “pining away” for ex Rihanna,.

So, what’s really going on here?

Nothing but desperation by careless outlets eager to link Brown and Rihanna romantically ever since they collaborated musically earlier this year.

Nevermind that Brown seems to be genuinely happy with Tran, or that, despite claims to the contrary, the singer’s career is right on track, with his fifth studio album Fortune set to drop in June.

In any case, a rep for Brown tells Gossip Cop that rumors of weight loss due to personal or professional problems are “completely fabricated.”

    he surely must lose weight with all that dancing around he does

    That may not be true, but he’s gonna look like hell as soon as the animal lovers are through with his worthless ass for breeding and selling PitBulls! That breed is put down in shelters more than any other, AND of course, we all know they are used and abused by a’holes who THINK they are all that. Last thing needed is more to have to suffer for the LITTLE MEN!

  • Ian

    Why not use your own logic? If they are being put down in shelters ( and we all know PETA contributes to putting down animals) isn’t a good thing his family sold the 4 puppies they didn’t want to keep to people they know that can afford to take care of a dog?

    Pitbulls can be great animals and its unfair of you to assume his family is fighting them or breeding them.

    People everyday around the world have a dog that has puppies. They give some of those dogs away and when they can no longer give some puppies away, they sell them. I’ve done that. I’ve seen neighbours and friends do it. But when Chris Brown does it, he’s wrong?

    What he did wasn’t illegal? Period. PETA was out of line, and they usually are. Why didn’t they call his family up and understand the whole situation before sending out a statement? Also his family had puppies born about 2 years ago as well. And then recently this year. Doesn’t a puppy breeder have to have dogs at a faster rate than 2 years? What kind of puppy breeding business is that? Oh right,a non existent one!

    Just because someone has a dog that gives birth to puppies doesn’t mean they are breeding them. And last time I checked Chris Brown rarely lives in his homes state of Virginia where that dog with the puppies lives so where does he find the time to breed animals? He has 2 homes in California. And he records in California.

    Just because you own a horse, doesn’t mean you are an equestrian. Stop reading every little thing about him or any other celeb as gospel. Use your brain. And Chris Brown isn’t the reason you can barely put a sentence together. He isn’t the reason you are unhappy and he certainly isn’t the reason you haven’t got laid in years. Nope.

    Yes he does. Whenever he is on tour he loses weight. In fact most artists who tour lose weight. He just did a few dates in Australia.

    As for his relationship with Karrueche Tran, who is a stylist by the way Gossip Cop – well he has been dating her since 2010. Or at least they were first pictured together in 2010. She’s not famous. Or rich. So the idea that he is using her for any reason other then to be happy seems like a stretch. She’s not famous so why go after her like that? Seems unfair.

    He’s always been skinny. Look at his first music video for his first number 1 song “Run It” from 2005. He was skinny then. He’s always been a thin, but in shape dude.

    And his career isn’t stalling. He got a Grammy this year – his first one after being nominated 11 times in his short career. He had his first number 1 song in the UK a few weeks ago. His pop song Turn Up The Music debuted at number 10 in America this year. Which is his (I think 11th) Top 10 song on the Hot 100. That song is in the top 5 in International radio as well. He currently has 8 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100!

    He just came off a successful fall tour. His new Urban song “Sweet Love” is doing very well on Urban radio. His career is fine. He has always been skinny. And blogs will write anything because they know they can. And these sources are probably people they make up out of thin air.

  • DiDi

    Most artist loose weight when they go on tour just like drake who got hella skinny ! But he’s still sexy to me. #TeamBreezy

  • 100% Amazing

    so you’d prefer for those poppies to be killed?

    why would anyone spend $1000 on poppies then put them down?

    If anything, Chris is far more intelligent than those PETA crown combined.

    $1000 x 6 means nothing to a multi- millionaire, think logically like @ian suggested.

    Nothing new, about those desperate blogger whoring for attention from idiots alike

    If its not “love triangle”, its weight loss” or “pitbull breeding”….what else?!

    If people would mind their own business and stay out of Chris and Rhianna’s personal affairs the world would be able to focus on real issues at hand i.e. the economy or social security being exhausted. The media is a trip and should be held responsible for all the lies that they report about this young man. He can’t even move on from something that occurred years ago. If Rhianna is forgiving him, then the media should speak their peace once and move on. But, each day they harp on the same crap about Chris Brown. Some media outlets praise him one day and criticize him the next day. That’s because he’s making their sites popular!!!!! That young man is the most talented I’ve seen since Micheal Jackson. I would pay money to see him perform any day because I’ve gotten my money worth before and it was the best concert that I’ve ever attended and I’m 45 years old!!! I wish that young man the best in life and I hope he can overcome this downfall in his life and get the help that he need to be a better person in life. The media need to realize how all that they are reporting is affecting him. If he was to committ suicide because of all this irresponsible reporting then they would probably be jumping for joy and praising him at the same time. I’m just saying!!!!

  • PAM

    Chris was always lean, but he has definitely lost weight! His cheeks look sunken in and he has a “dead” look in his eyes. If you look at pictures from February, when he won the Grammy, and compare them to pictures in March/April there is a MAJOR difference! It really makes me concerned for him because he definitely looks troubled! He doesn’t seem to care about his appearance anymore. And his girlfriend, who usually puts some effort into her appearance, has been looking like she just rolled out of bed. Something seems to be going on with both of them. And his album release date was postponed from May 8 to July 3, which may or may not be related to the physical/mental issues that he seems to be dealing with.

    Thank you Pam somebody has eyes and can see that Chris body has changed in a couple of months if he was in love love makes you gain not lose.

Who is he to judge when they judge him and people bat for him so don’t cast any stones Chris because nobody is perfect only one is Jesus don’t hate Riri forgive her so you can gain weight because bitterness is like cancer it will eat you up.

  • Santia_faith

    His weight loss has nothing to do with the love triangle thing. He prob sawthat he is gettigng a little thick and decided to lose weight. Yall just wanna make up lies… smh

    I am not a PeTA supporter, but was only stating the way it will be for him when those idiots and others radical animal lovers start up with their games to go after him. That’s all.

    By the way, plenty of people pay big money for dogs and then tie them outside and/or mistreat them and/or dump them, so while you or I might treat a free dog or cat in a bad way, so a’holes will and do.

    “Money ain’t for nothing . . . “

    PeTA SUX! I am not a fan or a supporter. If they were to ever have their way, then none of us would be allowed to have cats or dogs inside our homes as part of our family. The reason they use a small ‘e’ in their anagram name is because they have Little Ethics! PeTA does not have shelters, so they kill the animals they ‘save.’ The only people who could ever do the undercover work they do is them, because they are heartless. Who else could film animals being tortured and suffering like they do, because anyone with a heart or love of animals would break cover to do something to help a crying/dying animal! Once the filming is done, PeTA moves out and other agencies – HSUS and local shelters move in to begin rescue and medical care. PeTA is not capable of giving this kind of hope to animals because of their radical practices and disgusting beliefs.

    Your comments about me personally only serves to show the kind of person you are and though I don’t get your point in bringing up anything like that, I have no concern, because it’s on you. Good luck with all that.

  • Ramona08

    Thank you both for the comments about PETA. They have gone to extremes with their good intentions. I’m not a fan of Kim K but what if that flour had blinded her in an eye? They went a bit far with the Chris Brown statements.

  • Brenda

    his weight loss is not because of rihanna its because he is unhappy with coochie. he is so unhappy that he has to smoke crack cocaine he has not even been on tour yet so it aint that he is on drugs what else.

  • Anonymous

    I saw that on Twitter and I thought his statement was hypocritical because he is the one who actually glamorizes hoes. e.g. “Strip”

    Chris Brown is looking really bad these days but it has nothing to do with Rihanna at all. Cb party’s 24/7 drinking, smoking not sleeping can make you lose weight too and I think that’s what is going on with him. People are saying he’s not using drugs think again he smokes weed. He not taking care of himself at all. As far as Tran she has been looking bad to something is going on there some of her friends of twitter has said she do drugs weed pills and other stuff too. I hope the best for Chris Brown but if he don’t get himself together he’s going to loose everything he has worked so hard far. All we can do is pray for him.

  • BabySpiceSizzl3

    Dats just stupid y’all r sum clueless fuck, he will always love Rih but he is “in love” with kae when I met chris he crazy down to earth n da whole time we was in da club he made sure kae was good, he also kept look over every1z shoulders to tell her he loves her, clearly if y’all knew chris y’all wud know he’s truly happy, it was beautiful watchn him smile so hard every time he looked at her from all da way across the booth, y’all honestly dnt kno shit so stop speeding rumors n false info, always trynna start unnecessary drama.

  • BabySpiceSizzl3

    He losing weight cuz he smokes n he works hard it’s nt cuz of no love triangle

  • Terencemzila

    C.B he looks like adevil,s dog now

  • 100% Amazing

    But why Chris Brown all the DAMN time?! when will he be allows to rest from all these attacks? How much bullsh*t can one man take b4 he looses it?!

    If Chris wasn’t as genuinely talented and as hard working as he is, by now his enemies would be laughing really hard!

    4 years attack from every angle (individuals, colleagues, corporations, media and ex) and he remains victorious is diabolic!

    Didn’t they say he was wanted by the police & might end up in jail 2 months ago? now its PETA?! … R.E.A.L.L.Y?!!

  • 100% Amazing

    he has a very tight schedule, he hasn’t had time to really relax… everyone needs him to produce, sing a hook, write a song, perform somewhere, shoot a video and handle other business, with all the wild night life and vicious attack from the media=> anyone will lose weight after 4 years of un-ending attacks and very high work ethic.

  • 100% Amazing

    all that?!

  • LuvCB14

    Well he does look way thinner now. But we all can’t predict why. Who knows? Maybe he still does love Rhianna, or maybe he does work and smoke a lot. I mean if we keep on posting things like this online then maybe it will make him stress more. I’M LIKE ONE OF CHRIS’S #1 FANS, and there is no doubt about that. If you go to my room you’ll think I’m obbssesed. Which maybe I am, but that’s not the case. The case here is you guys need to stop trying to bud in to his life, and try to predict what’s wrong with him.

  • BreezyFan

    I really don’t believe it has anything to do with the love triangle. More than likely, it’s the stress from all the excessive damage done to his career by the wreak less media. Stress can really impact on the body in a negative way. In addition to this, he is a very busy person, so this will add to it. I believe that as soon as he feels satisfied with his life, he’ll be right back on track. Let us not pay so much attention on body image. Why the hell are we so damn pre-occupied with when someone gains or loses a few pounds. Damn!
