Chris Brown Gets Booted Out Of Anger Management Rehab After Throwing Rock Through Mom's Car Window

Chris Brown got booted out of anger management rehab after only two weeks for—surprise, surprise—getting violently angry.
Earlier this month Brown's mom showed up for a family session and encouraged her son to extend his treatment. A probation report obtained by TMZ says Brown disagreed, violently. He tossed a rock through his mom's car window, shattering it.
It was only Brown's 13th day of treatment at a rehab center in Malibu, and he was booted out because of his outburst. After he was booted out, a judge ordered Brown to 90 days in the facility and drug testing.
The probation report says without therapy and strong support, his prognosis is "very guarded."
