To be fair, his personality is said to have changed after receiving a head injury:
Nashville’s News Channel 5 reports that Brown’s wife, Jamie, called police just after 11PM to report that Brown had assaulted her after the couple had a fight over a photo shoot that was scheduled for Tuesday (Feb. 23). According to her statement to police, she ran to her car after the assault to call the authorities. Brown was arrested and charged in the incident early Tuesday morning.
This is the 69-year-old executive’s second arrest for domestic violence. In September of 2013 Jamie charged that he kicked in a bedroom door, assaulted her and threw her in their swimming pool after an argument. According to a representative for Brown, that incident was later expunged from his record.
Brown is one of the most influential figures in the modern history of country music. He began his career as a musician for artists including Elvis Presley and Emmylou Harris before moving to the business side of country music. He has helped shape the careers of artists including Reba McEntire, George Strait and Steve Earle, among many more. He also played a key role in breaking Vince Gill, signing him to MCA and helming his most successful albums.
