Kelly Rowland Says Chris Brown Deserves Grace, Forgiveness

Kelly Rowland says it’s beyond time for the public to treat Chris Brown the same as anyone else who royally screws up — and, yes, she believes that includes forgiving him for beating Rihanna.

We got the ‘Destiny’s Child’ singer in WeHo Monday and asked about her American Music Awards moment — when she scolded a booing crowd pissed about Chris’ win, and then sang his praises.

Check out KR’s remarks to our photog, ’cause they’re pretty powerful. She says everyone is worthy of second chances, and that we all need a dose of humility … especially amid our own transgressions. Essentially, it’s the Golden Rule she’s advocating for here.

Kelly also suggests folks oughta bask in the good, rather than fervently looking to cast stones at every turn — especially when related to events almost 14 years old, like Chris’ Rihanna incident.

In the end, Kelly thinks we all come up short at one point or another — and we all deserve to start over again.
