Jill Scott Defends Chris Brown’s Past, Recalls Her Mom’s ‘Violent’ Ex-Husband: ‘We’re All Flawed and Need Help’

Scott elaborated, “It means that even he had something to offer. He was sick/hurt and did cruel things. I forgave him because of his trauma. Did I forget? Never. So I try my best to choose better. I’ve failed a few times but not in that abusive area.”

Elsewhere, Scott tweeted, “Jehovah God Allah is kind and gracious to us all. We’re all children; learning as we grow. Some path’s are rocky but worth it.🥰 Some path’s are easy like soft serve but WILL break you. No path is perfect. We tie our shoestrings & learn how not to fall.”

Other users chimed in with comments about how grace, forgiveness, and compassion are “always reserved for abusers” instead of their victims. Another commenter noted that she refuses “to forgive men who commit crimes against women and children” because they cannot “be rehabilitated.”
