Wrigley, the makers of popular chewing gum Doublemint, has decided to suspend the ad campaign of 19-year R&B superstar Chris Brown after his alleged involvement in a criminal case.

The suspension took effect on Monday and will end until such time that his case is revolved. According to reports, Brown was accused of assaulting an unidentified woman the day before the Grammy Awards, forcing him to miss his planned appearance and performance at the prestigious event.

Several media outlets reported that the complainant was none other than Brown’s equally popular girlfriend, R&B star Rihanna. Based on their reliable sources, Brown and Rihanna had an argument at a Los Angeles neighborhood which escalated.

Brown was released after posting a $50,000 bail. Both he and Rihanna did not show up at the Grammy Awards the next day.

Despite the suspension, the company said that due process should still be afforded on Brown and that it stressed that he’s not yet dropped from the campaign.
