Her last tweet came on January 29.
Brown’s Twitter posts have become news stories in the past, in March 2014, she blasted celebrated actress Angela Bassett as a “bitch” for not casting her in the Lifetime movie about Whitney Houston. Bassett fought back in in an interview with Entertainment Weekly where she said, “I did not think about casting her. And probably for a number of reasons, you know. One being that she’s not an actress. I know she’s acted her and there. I know she’s been on their family’s reality show, but she’s not an actress and acting is a craft.” That same month, Brown posted pictures of her new slender physique, which led to criticism about how much weight she lost.
