CHRIS BROWN ROID RAGE!?


March 06, 2009. MediaTakeOut.com just received some EXPLOSIVE new information. We spoke EXCLUSIVELY to a person close to Chris Brown’s camp – and they gave us some SHOCKING NEWS. The insider believed that Chris’ attack on Rihanna was a case of ‘ROID RAGE’

The insider, who asked that MediaTakeOut.com keep their name confidential, claims that Chris Brown has been using steroids for some time – and that it likely contributed to the attack. The source explained, “Chris started using steroids for his voice, and then he started using it more and more … I think he used it too much.”

The source continued, “There were definitely benefits to using [the steroids], like he got more muscular. But it also affected his temper … Everyone around him noticed it.”

And MediaTakeOut.com directly asked the insider whether they believed that the steroids were behind Chris’ attack on R&B singer Rihanna. The source replied, “Of course, Chris’ temper got crazy when he started taking [the steroids].”

Is the use of steroids to improve a singer’s voice common, you ask? Well MediaTakeOut.com spoke to a popular recording engineer who claims that many singer’s routinely use steroids to help their voice. The insider, who asked for anonymity, explained, “If a singer is on tour and their voice isn’t holding up, or if they have laryngitis – you give them a steroid shot, or they can use a spray. It will allow them to perform temporarily.” The insider continued, “Just about every artist I know has used it.”

It’s not clear what effect the “ROID RAGE” defense will play in the Chris Brown criminal trial. As MediaTakeOut.com reported to you earlier in the week, Chris’ attorney’s are working feverishly behind the scenes to work out a plea deal which would give NO JAIL TIME to the R&B singer. And, as we reported earlier in the week – our sources say that they are EXTREMELY close to a plea deal.

But Chris’ defense team might have another ace in the hole. Yesterday MediaTakeOut.com told you that Chris’ defense team postponed pleading NOT GUILTY to the offenses charged against him. That leaves open the possibility of Chris pleading NOT GUILTY BY REASON OF INSANITY – using ‘Roid Rage’ as his mental disease or defect. While it would be an unorthodox legal move, it could prove effective.
