terrence howard defends chris brown

On his way to dinner in Beverly Hills on Tuesday night, paparazzi caught up with Terrance Howard and asked him what he thought about Chris Brown punching Rihanna in the face and choking her until she blacked out. Howard said he thought it was reprehensible and Brown should be in jail. Oh wait no…

"It's just life man. Chris is a great guy. He'll be all right. Rihanna knows he loves her. They'll be alright. Everyone has just got to get out of their way."

Terrance has since tried to distance himself from this comment, saying he hadn’t heard about Brown beating up Rihanna, but that doesn't make any sense considering the question. If I said to you, "any comment on my dog when I went to the store".  Would you say, "your dog is great, you know he loves you, people need to just stay out of his way".  Or would you say, "what?"
