Chris Brown appearing somewhat haggard while in court Thursday afternoon during a hearing in the Rihanna beating case.

The fan reaction has been mixed:

Laura Kellett · The way he is getting treated is ridiculous!!

Nicole Marie Hallberg · · He’s being treated the same as anyone who committed a crime- being famous shouldn’t excuse your behavior, it just makes it more public when you get in trouble for it.

Donna Lenore · Okay…let’s have Chris beat on you for a while and see if you feel the same…
