Chris Brown’s Twitter Deactivated, #teambreezy Reacts

Chris Brown’s Twitter has been deactivated after a word-brawl with a comedian this weekend (though we expect he’ll be back in short order), and the dramatic exit leaves the controversial star’s dedicated army of Twitter followers with a serious case of — in addition to some weird sort of celebrity Stockholm Syndrome — a reason to wail and gnash their teeth.

Chris Brown’s Twitter cabal is known as #teambreezy, and the vocal proponents of the singer — who became somewhat of a pariah in the music biz for beating down on-and-off girlfriend Rihanna — are led by Brown’s biggest and most accepting fan, his mom Joyce.

Joyce Hawkins tweets under the handle @mombreezy, and, in the absence of her son on the microblogging service, Team Breezy has turned to their matriarch in the time of great unrest and turmoil, seeking guidance and comfort from #teambreezy patient zero.

As Twitter reacts to Chris Brown’s latest tantrum, they have sent Mom Breezy a cacophony of lamentations, with one fan recently tweeting:

“@mombreezy please please #Teambreezy doesn’t deserve the fact that Chris deleted his twitter! How am I supposed to know what’s going on?!”

How indeed, Joyce? HOW INDEED?! Another Chris Brown fan pleads:

“I Want Chris Back. #TeamBreezy Need You CB. Plz Come Back.@MomBreezy Plz Tell him to come Back. We Love Him Soo Much.”

Supporters have also been changing their avatars to this — no, we aren’t kidding:

However, unimaginable as it may seem, not everyone is on Team Breezy. Some people seem not to appreciate the seriousness of Chris Brown’s Twitter quitting, and one tweeter twote:

Think of a major disaster of the last 20 years. Now imagine Chris Brown had died in that disaster. It would have been worth it, wouldn’t it?

Andy Levy, who redefined the term “burn” in laying into Brown on TV, adds:

With Chris Brown off twitter his fans will have to wear name tags that say “#TeamBreezy” in real life so everyone knows they’re idiots
