Chris Brown Asks Fans to Stop 'Turning Haters Into Victims' Amid Chrissy Teigen Threats
Chris Brown, 23-year-old Grammy Award-winning singer, recently advised his fans to stop threatening the fiancée of singer John Legend, Chrissy Teigen.
"Team Breezy! Lets stop sending death threats!" Brown tweeted after some of his fans were calling for Teigen to be "murdered" and sexually assaulted.
Teigen, 26-year-old model, began receiving threats from fans of Brown on Twitter after she tweeted about Brown's performance on the 2012 Billboard Music Awards.

"So excited to see Chris Brown! I love loud and surprising background fits of rage I can hear from the audience!" Teigen tweeted. "Why sing when you can dance?"
Brown's fans responded to Teigen with hundreds of threatening messages, which caused Teigen to reprimand her cyber attackers.
"Really makes me sad that 99 percent of the most disturbing comments come from young girls," Teigen tweeted. "I'll end it there but it make (sic) me sad."
The model's initial comments were aimed at Brown's presentation of "Turn Up The Music" for which he reportedly lip-synched during a performance that featured BMX bike stunts. However, she was not the only celebrity to tweet about Brown's act at the Billboard Awards.
"One day if i lip-sync, i hope i do it as well as him," singer Pink wrote on her Twitter account.
Carey Hart, professional motocross racer and Pink's husband, also commented on Brown's performance while standing up for his wife.
"Im pretty sure I saw my wife (do) that same performance, but she was 3 months pregnant and actually sang the song," Hart tweeted.
While Pink also received rude messages from Brown's fans, she welcomed opposition to her views on the singer.
"Keep it coming people, this is some good reading," she told Brown's fans.
However, Tiegen did not find threats from Brown's fans as amusing.
"I said things about EVERYONE who performed. negative and positive. interesting that only one 'team' is rabid," Teigen responded to a fan of Brown's. "This is less about chris and more about the insanity that spews out of the rabid mouths of Team Breezy. Done. There will be no more said."
Brown's tweets to his fans insinuated that they needed to stop making Teigen look like a victim.
"I know y'all bout that life but it's the wrong message," Brown tweeted. "(You're) turning haters into victims!"
