Cheryl Cole has insisted that the public should 'move on' from Chris Brown's 2009 domestic violence conviction.

Cole said that she supported Rihanna's decision to forgive the singer following an incident three years ago that saw him sentenced to 180 days of community labour.

Discussing Brown and Rihanna's recent collaboration on 'Birthday Cake', she told In: Demand with Alex James: "I think it's really kind of her actually. She's come out and publicly forgiven him really.

"I think it's about time we all did if I'm completely honest, if you want my opinion."

She continued: "I work with people all the time with my charity that are transformed characters. They've done things when they were young that they regret, they've been to prison and they're now upstanding members of the public and help our community and are amazing people.

"I think because he's in the limelight... he hasn't had the chance to be forgiven or to forgive himself because we haven't let him. Now that she's come out and embraced him again, I think it's time we all moved on. That guy is talented as hell."

Do you agree with her? I know I don't. Perhaps if he showed some remorse for his actions then I may feel differently but the fact that he's gone as far as to brag about it in his songs makes him a despicable human being in my eyes.

[King Gizzard]

When he still continues to ask like a doucheballoon?

[Jack_]

It's a difficult one. Mainly because he's clearly a ***** for bragging about it.

But I don't really agree when people criticise Rihanna for forgiving him, at the end of the day it's up to her whether she does or not, she was the one that was affected, not us. And when people go on about 'role models', well I'm afraid that's not really her problem. If you don't want your child to 'look up' to a certain type of person, then teach them not to. She's just living her life the way she wants to, as she is perfectly entitled to do.

I think there's a difference between Rihanna forgiving him, and the rest of society 'forgiving' him.

He isn't remorseful at all.

The fact that she of all people want us to move on makes me want to hold a bigger grudge

She's a stupid attention seeking bitch, Chris Brown has done nothing to deserve sympathy and anyone that does sympathise with him is a waste of space. He's a **** that deserves everything bad that happens to him.

[Ramsay]

maaaaaybe if he showed some type of remorse for it but he hasent so he can go **** himself

[2] he's scum. Cheryl is a disgrace to womankind for even thinking this, letting alone announcing it publically. Much as Ashley's behaviour (cheating) was despicable, it's clear Ms Cole has never experienced abuse herself, she's not gooing to endear herself at all due to this.

She is only saying so because of her own history....she's not so squeaky clean herself.

Meh if Rihanna can forgive him then there's no reason I should hold it against him

[Saph]

Also, has she forgotten that she herself has abused someone when she beat up that toilet assistant (or whoever)

I can't stand Chris Brown but I think it's pretty silly to bring that up.

Maybe the fact that she herself did similar stupid things when she was younger means she understands how people can change. I'm not saying Chris Brown can, but I do think it's hypocritical how celebs do one thing that continues to be brought up against them years later when we all do idiotic things that gets forgiven and forgotten, and then most of us mature and learn from it.

[Locke.]

He's a tit but Rihanna isn't bothered about it and seems to be obsessed with him, so no point in anyone else caring if the girl that got the beating isn't

[Samuel.]

That's not really the point though. He's disliked because he's a scumbag, beating Rihanna being the evidence. Nothing to do with Rihanna herself or forgiving him.

[Locke.]

He's a nice guy is Chris

[MTVN]

Top bloke

This is probably her way of gearing up to announcing that she's back with Ashley Cole. Sakes.

[Black Dagger]

I'l just do as you say Cheryl xoxoxox

[joeysteele]

Well there's one thing for sure, I for one wouldn't follow any lead showed by the very false Ms Cole.

Okay, a lot of people hate on him because of his music, which is a completely different reason and totally legitimate because he's built a career on poor MJ imitations, autotune and other people writing for him. He's a good dancer and can perform well live, but I don't particularly care about that when "his" music is so awful in the first place.

So I do think some people hate on him for this because of his music.

However, time and time again he's shown himself to be a petulant, unchanged prick. He storms out of interviews, has trashed an interview set, and recently attacked Rihanna in some remix.

He has not been punished at all. His career, if anything, has skyrocketed since the incident. He hasn't had a difficult time from anyone but critics, and let's face it, as much as critics like to think they're important they're really not when you're being given Grammy awards and #1 hits.

He's just got a foul attitude, and whilst I don't particularly care about his/Rihanna's relationship (although, her working with him recently was a disgusting message to domestic violence sufferers - work with your abuser for cash! xo) I just have no respect for either of them.

This sums up everything I would like to say on the matter. Outstanding post.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

oh shut up cheryl, just because you want to collaborate with him. I bet if he wasn't selling anymore, none of the celebs that are teambreezy would be speaking right now. All of you do one

[Ninastar]

no

He should be forgotten and we should never see his face again

[InOne]

He's got off ridiculously lightly. He got welcomed back at the grammys like some fallen hero something, it's just bizarre. And Cheryl seems on the same thick as pig **** wavelength as Rihanna.
