Wrigley has dropped Chris Brown from its Doublemint ad campaign—"until the matter is resolved"—following the R&B singer's alleged explosive confrontation with girlfriend Rihanna.

The BBC also notes that his involvement in the Milk Mustache campaign will end as planned this week, though a spokesman said they were "taking the allegations against Chris Brown very seriously."
