Chris Brown’s manager Tina Davis denies sending the three-page text message that started his alleged assault against Rihanna, usmagazine.com reports.

According to TMZ.com, Davis and Brown — who are 20 years apart in age — had an intimate relationship.

Davis’ lawyer Marshall B Grossman released a statement that reads: “The relationship between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown is that of manager and client. There has never been any other relationship. The rumors in circulation are false. There are no emails between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown of the type which have been described in media reports.”

Meanwhile, Chris Brown and Rihanna may be staying together, but there are some other folks with whom he’s allegedly looking to part ways. Brown is looking to dump his crisis management team over how they dealt with the aftermath of his arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, according to Page Six. “Chris wanted to apologize much earlier,” a source says. “He was upset when the apology was finally released because it sounded so insincere.”
