Chris Brown Poses With a 'Beaten Up' Jean Paul Gaultier

Chris Brown, the singer infamously known for beating up former girlfriend Rihanna, posed with a "bloodied and bruised" Jean Paul Gaultier yesterday in Paris.

Gaultier was in the City of Lights for his fall 2010 runway show at Men's Fashion Week, which featured a boxing theme complete with a catwalk-side ring and big, bruiser models sporting boxing gloves and faux lacerations on their chiseled faces.

The designer got into it as well with a "beaten up" face himself, courtesy of makeup artists, that is. Brown attended the show after being spotted at men's shows in Milan earlier this week.

While we're used to a publicity stunt or two from fashion's front row, this picture of the singer posing next to Gaultier reads as just plain callous and conjures up those horrific images of a bloodied and beaten Rihanna. She suffered real injuries, ones involving no makeup.

Brown's big ol' grin doesn't help lighten the unavoidable allusions to his Rihanna attack. Honestly, we think it was in really poor taste and shows complete lack of judgment and sensitivity on Brown's part.

But what do you think? Was it inappropriate for Brown to pose with Jean Paul Gaultier given his assault charges? Or are we being overly sensitive and reading into things?

Plus, should Jean Paul Gaultier have invited Brown to the boxing-themed show in the first place? Leave a comment!

Meanwhile, hear Rihanna's side of the story. The Barbados-native talked to GQ about her abusive relationship.

I agree with Kim, let him breath!! He has apologized over and over again for his actions. What he did was wrong and he paid for his actions. Rihanna is now profiting more than ever because of this issue and I think she is enjoying every minute of it. If this would not of happened to her, she might have been forgotten about. And just so you all dont think that I am soem wierdo standing up for an abuser, I am a survivor of domestic viloence that I suffered from for 5 years! He is not to young to change, but we need to make sure he is aware of it. It is okay for him to move forward... SHE SURE HAS!!! MAKING ALOT OF MONEY FROM THIS!!! She is not an avocate, she is a profitor!!

HE needs to "get a life" as you say. HE is the one that has physically & mentally abused a woman and from the looks of this photo, is now making a bigger mockery of himself.

I see your point, but do you see mine? This pic was sooo unnecessary and ridiculous (on both their parts) and it DOES make him look like he took none of it seriously.

Domestic violence IS serious and should be taken that way by all. He shouldn't be easily forgiven- especially because he is somewhat of a role model to his younger (and older) fans.

So Kim...as you wasted Paramedics and Police time every time we showed up and you begged us not to take your abuser off to jail because you apparently needed to be beaten down...this is what everybody should expect? Puhleeeezz..

Just because you sat around for five years allowing someone to abuse you...you're now wearing this as some badge of honor.

What a dupe. I've patched up patients like you a thousand times and you make me sick to my stomach for the people who really don't want to be beaten.

Yeah, she just was asking for it for he celebrity. How much more ignorant could a poster possibly be..?

yeah what he did is wrong, but he cant sit forever and do nothing for the rest of his life because he did something wrong a while back. and why do you all care? honestly. i dont think they care about who you broke up with and hurt and got hurt by. this is just gossip. there are plenty of men who beat women who go and live life like nothing happens. and there are plently of abusive women too. but the point is, they arent talked about in the media like this. and chris brown doesnt care about your problems, why do you care about his? how long is he suposed to "take his actions seriously?" mind your own business.

i don't think it's right for this article to be defending rihanna because she already has a new boyfriend matt kemp that has charges for being violent with a previous girlfriend and the girlfriend has a restrianing order against him .... so i'm pretty sure thats just showing how stupid she is, because even after chris brown she goes with someone who has a past of that... i also think this is stupid to blame chris brown for this photo because he was just posing with a designer who happened to be fit for the theme and that doesnt have ANYTHING to do with his past with rihanna and its foolish to relate the two.

Unfortunate enough that it is for him he cannot breathe, he is in the public eye and that is the price of fame. It's a judgement call at this point, every star knows that and right now he has to pay attention as does his management. I manage an up and coming star and use these celebrities as examples. There are people like those that posted, "Let him live his life" who really want to let him but human nature is human nature and basically misery loves company and damage has been done, he does have damage control to do. As talented as he is, his actions have placed him in a different bracket. He will continue to be a star but as a manager I say he needs to stop the apologizing, it's done and it only helps people remember what he did in the first place. Who's managing this guy anway? Move on with what he does best and that's making music, let the people see him for what he is and does and move on. Think twice and the dumb mistakes though, this photo opt was a mistake!
