Chris Brown is nervous about leaving rehab


Chris Brown is nervous about leaving rehab.

The ‘Fine China’ hitmaker recently completed 90 days of court-ordered treatment for anger issues but has reportedly decided to remain in the facility in Malibu until he feels confident he can control his temper and won’t slip up again.

A source told HollywoodLife.com: "He wants to stay there a little while longer to make sure he’s absolutely ready to be back in society. He doesn’t want any issues with his temper to flare up when he’s in public so he’s taking a few more days to work on some anger treatments so that he keeps his buttons under control.

"He’s nervous, really. It’s one thing to work on his anger issues in a controlled environment but it’s another out in the real world.

"He knows he has to be strong and step out there and focus on his music and his life in general, and he wants to make sure he’s at his absolute best before he picks up where he left off."

The R&B singer was ordered to seek anger management instead of being sentenced to jail when his probation, stemming from his violent assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, was formally revoked as a result of an alleged assault on Parker Adams in Washington D.C. in October.

Chris’ mother Joyce Hawkins is relieved he recognises that he needs to continue his treatment.

The insider said: "She thought his decision showed that he’s taking responsibility for his actions and showed that he wants to make sure he’s 100 percent healthy before he leaves the facility."

The ‘Forever’ hitmaker has been granted permission to leave rehab to attend several events recently, including a celebration to honour his work with LA community group 2nd Call and his Symphonic Love Foundation and Unity Campaign on Friday night (21.02.14) was spotted shooting a new music video on Universal City Walk in Hollywood on Saturday (22.02.14).
