Chris Brown is up for two Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards on March 28 and the feedback from parents has been mostly negative. In fact, Nick and its corporate parent ‘Viacom’ has been flooded with e-mails and calls from angry people who were upset that Rihanna’s alleged attacker could be honored at the Awards.
An official from Viacom said Monday, ”I’ve never seen anything like it. The words I’d use to describe the situation [regarding the avalanche of e-mails and calls] are overwhelming and swamped. [The issue has] even gotten to the Sumner level,” referring to Viacom head honcho and media mogul Sumner Redstone.
A Nickelodeon spokesman has said that the winners would depend mainly on which artists the kids vote for. However, a longtime network insider said Monday, ”If this [pressure] keeps up, I can’t imagine they won’t pull Brown from consideration. People already are working on some kind of exit strategy from this nightmare.”
Unfortunately for Brown, posting a message on his MySpace page to ask his “fans” for support with the Nickelodeon Awards the same day he was charged with two felonies in court didn’t help him re-gain his fans.
”Hey fans: Vote for Chris on the Kids Choice Awards 2009 link provided below. … Thank you for your support.”
