A day after Chris Brown was booked on felony criminal threats charges, he pulled out of the NBA All-Stars, a league spokesperson confirmed to Usmagazine.com." Chris Brown has withdrawn from NBA All-Star events," the NBA rep told Us Monday.
The singer was scheduled to participate in the basketball association's All-Star festivities in Phoenix Sunday and was also planning to play in a celebrity game two days prior to the event.
Brown turned himself in to Los Angeles police Sunday night for an alleged battery on a woman, who was later learned to be his girlfriend, singer Rihanna.
Brown, 19, has also had his ads with Wrigley gum suspended after the incident.
"Wrigley is concerned by the serious allegations made against Chris Brown ," a company spokesperson tells Us. "We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen."
However, we have made the decision to suspend the current advertising featuring Brown and any related marketing communications until the matter is resolved," the statement continued.
The case is being presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorneys office. Additional charges, including those of domestic violence, may be filed.
