Chris Brown slammed as ‘aggressive’ for grabbing ‘Love Island’ star’s throat

Reality TV

Chris Brown raised eyebrows during his recent Manchester, England, show where he grabbed “Love Island” star Natalia Zoppa by her throat.

The “Run It!” singer, 33, brought the reality personality onstage to serenade her for his song “Take You Down” during his March 13 concert.

Brown proceeded to give her a lap dance, and she looked uncomfortable as he grabbed her neck, as seen in a video posted on Newsflare.

Zoppa had been a contestant on the sixth season of “Love Island.”

The Manchester gig is one of the stops during the European leg of his “Under the Influence” tour.

Social media users seemed shocked at the R&B crooner’s antics, with one tweeting: “Aggressive as usual.”

“She looks really really distressed,” one person noted. Someone else asked if the event was “consensual” and another wondered “why does the girls sit there and take it?”

“Is there no boundaries to this disgusting man. How many life’s is he going to ruin,” one penned.

“At least he didn’t beat her half to death like he did Rihanna,” a scorned commenter wrote.

In 2009, Brown caused much controversy and ignited fury among fans when he was said to have physically assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna.

The “This Christmas” actor went on a rant last month and complained that people “still hate” him for hurting “Umbrella” singer Rihanna, 35.

“Im f – – king 33! Im tired of yall running wit this narrative,” he started.

Brown then questioned fans about where “cancel culture” was when it came to “white artists” who “date underage women” or “beat the f – – k out of their wives.”

“Oh. That’s right.. they are your buddies,” he added. “No more fake love from me.. Stay out my way or get ran over simple as that!”

At the “Look at Me Now” singer’s Berlin show earlier this month, he took a fan’s phone and threw it away from her.

The ticket holder tried to film his lap-dance segment, but he grabbed the cellphone away from her and tossed it into the crowd.
