Uh oh, this could go from bad to worse!  It seems that the tears that Chris Brown shed during his Michael Jackson tribute could have been artificial.  According to backstage witnesses, one of Brown’s bodyguards supplied the singer with tear-inducing eye drops right before he hit the stage to sing “Man in the Mirror”.

The witness told USMagazine.com, “He rubbed it in and he started crying.”  The performance was emotionally charged and incredible but if he was faking…this may be the blow that ends the troubled stars career.

Chris Brown’s rep denies the eye-drop rumors.  He said that the singer “was simply moved by the opportunity to pay tribute to his idol.”

With a reputation already tarnished, allegations like this could be quite damaging.  Check it out below and let us know what you think.  Real deal or fake out?
