HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Chris Brown’s mother is denying a tabloid report that her son is planning to change his management team.
“Reports that Chris is looking to replace his team, including Mark Geragos, Tina Davis and Mike Sitrick, are false,” Brown’s mother and co-manager, Joyce Hawkins, told People in a statement Thursday. “There are only two people who could make a change at that level on Chris’ behalf: his business attorney Kenny Meiselas and me – and neither of us were the source of this information.
“To the contrary, Kenny told the media outlet that broke this item, that the information they had was false. So there is no room for doubt or misunderstanding, let me state unequivocally, that no change is planned or being made with respect to Mark Geragos, Tina Davis or Mike Sitrick. We are very pleased with the work they are doing.”
The statement was issued after the New York Post reported that Brown was “looking for a whole new team,” with the first target being his manager, Tina Davis. The publication said Brown previously had a relationship with Davis, who is 20 years older, and that she sent the text message that led to Brown and Rihanna getting into a fight on the day he was arrested.
Brown was charged with two felonies last week, stemming from his alleged assault of Rihanna on Feb. 8. If convicted, the R&B star faces anywhere from probation to a maximum four years and eight months in state prison.
