Chris Brown should be forgiven, Kelly Rowland says after defending him at awards show

Destiny's Child alum Kelly Rowland thinks that Chris Brown's haters need to go beyond chilling out and is now asking them to forgive the embattled R&B star.

The "Dilemma" and "Motivation" hit-maker's remarks came after she chided the audience for booing when Chris Brown won at Sunday's American Music Awards. Presenting the award for favorite male R&B singer, Rowland accepted it on Brown's behalf.

While in West Hollywood on Monday night, the 41-year-old told TMZ that Brown deserves grace after the crowd's disapproval at the AMAs, one of many such reactions he has endured since pleading guilty to felony assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.
