Jill Scott Requests That Her Audience “Pray for Enlightenment” in Response to Her Chris Brown Post

Amid controversy, Jill Scott was engulfed over the weekend following her X-rated post about Chris Brown. She tagged the R&B artist and lauded his appearance in addition to his singing, dancing, acting, rhyming, and acting prowess, all of which she described as “amazing.”

Under Jill Scott’s post, for instance, a user with the handle @ChrissyLcsw stated, “I believe the women he has abused would disagree.” The Get on Up star replied with a personal anecdote. She composed:

I doubt it. My Mother’s ex husband was a mean, violent human AND he could lay foundation better than anyone in my city. What he did with cement was awe inspiring. We got away. He got a raise and praise for his ability. God dealt with the rest.

“I have my doubts. In addition to being a vicious, violent individual, the ex-husband of my mother was the best at laying foundation in my city. His work involving cement was truly remarkable. We escaped. He received a salary increase and commendation for his competence. The remainder was dealt with by God.

Another of her 1.7 million fans said, “I love you Jill but he has so many domestic abuse cases it’s ridiculous we can’t look past that,” in the space provided for comments. Jill Scott responded by saying,

“I also adore you.” I’m done fighting wars for other people. Women should stay off that street if/when they hear the stories. It makes no sense to run backwards in moving traffic. Every d*mn body deserves therapy.

Look. Years of prayer, therapy, self reflection, & making every effort to keep my feet on the ground has made me compassionate for other human beings. People go through 💩 and do terrible 💩. We say we believe in God ; pray for enlightenment. We ARE a living testimony.
