And the drama with alleged female beater Chris Brown continues!

In the aftermath of his arrest for domestic abuse, Brown has been dropped suspended from his Wrigley's gum ads and his MILK ads have also been pulled.

Now, a radio station in Cleveland, WAKS FM 96.5, has pulled all music by Chris Brown from airplay!

Java Joel, the station's evening host, said in a press release issued by Clear Channel that "After the alleged incident the phones exploded. It's all that people wanted to talk about. They were outraged at this alleged behavior and wondered why we were continuing to support his music. I agreed and immediately pulled all Chris Brown songs from my show until this thing coo out in the legal system."

That's when the station's program director, Bo Matthews, decided to pull Brown's music off from the station entirely. Matthews said, "It appears that Chris has made some poor choices, we are following the lead of our listeners, and we will not be supporting Chris Brown on 96.5 Kiss FM in Cleveland until the alleged situation gets resolved."
