Comedian Jenny Johnson Explains Her Twitter Feud With Chris Brown
"I chose to turn a lazy Sunday watching football with my husband into a total s---storm," she wrote in GQ.
We know the result of the infamous vulgar Twitter feud between Chris Brown and Jenny Johnson -- the pop singer's account gets deleted and the comedian got death threat tweets from some Twitter users.
But, how did the whole ugly war-of-words get started last Sunday? In a post at GQ magazine, Johnson explains that she isn't apologizing for instigating the fight and that she didn't think the incident would be so widely covered.
STORY: Chris Brown Deletes Twitter Account After Vulgar Exchange
"I didn't expect my name to be in entertainment news, but it is, and it is because I started it," wrote Johnson. "I won't say I regret what I did, but I will say I have learned from it. I chose to turn a lazy Sunday watching football with my husband into a total s---storm."
Johnson, who has written critical tweets about Brown reportedly since his 2009 arrest, sent a tweet as a reply to the singer saying that he was a "worthless piece of s---" in response to a message he tweeted to his followers. It escalated from there into vulgar exchanges traded back and forth. Brown's account was finally deleted.
STORY: Chris Brown: 'I Try to Promote Positivity'
In her GQ post, Johnson explains that her tweets weren't meant to be attention-seeking. "I didn't want attention from all of this. If I wanted attention, I would have accepted all of the invitations to be on shows and to actually give exclusive interviews, but I declined all of them," Johnson wrote.
"I've had people assume I dislike Chris Brown because I'm taking up for Rihanna, I'm not. I'm on the side of good, of equality and respect for my fellow woman. I was raised to not respect a person who doesn't respect others," she explained.
