I think Rihanna should just let Chris go on and get what he gotta get outta his system..then get back together when they’re both older…

My brother and his wife were high school sweethearts (the equipvalent of what Chris and Rih are) broke up for 8 years (no violence involved), then got back together and ended up getting married. They have a beautiful relationship, 2 kids, house, cars, etc.

It’s too soon, this is a classic mistake Rihanna, you need to let Chris grow up first, and both of y’all need to get some counseling

@41

Uh yeah. Tina Turner wrote “I, Tina” with Kurt Loder

You sound like an obsessed Chris Brown stan who’s opinion won’t be changed even if he had killed Rihanna

I agree with pms!! Good points

LMAOOO @ #7 ITS OBVIOUS… SHE DOESN’T HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HERSLEF , NOR LOVE HERSELF… SHE JUST DUMB … YOUNG… CONFUSED… AND DONT UNDERSTAND.

wow rihanna u disappoint me. gurl i saw yur future wen u suppose 2 dumb dat punk. u would ave been bigger but no u want 2 be nxt ike and turner shit! a lot of women was giving dis chick alot of respect and hope she could talk against dis punk but bcuz of insecurity and low self esteem she went back 2 him. y women wont learn fro these experiences? i mean, i no longer support women who go back to their asse beat and u expect me 2 feel sorry fo dis chick if her ass gets beaten again? good luck riri u goanna need it.

Are you meaning to tell me that there are no other good black men for her sorry ass?

You speak the damn truth Spill.

He’s 19 years old and she’s 21. She’s taking her song “We ride, till the day we die” a little too seriously. Is Chris the only man in the world?

They must be really in love. Don’t they share the same tattoos?

Do anyone of you all know Chris Brown or Rihanna personally? I highly doubt it. It amazes me how everyone is wishing bad on either one of their lives as if they were their that night in the trunk of the car when this incident took place. Everyone is expectin Rihanna to step out and play the victim role when in reality, you dont even know if she wants to do so. Im almost positive that everyone has made a mistake or mistakes in life that they wish to forget so what makes them any different then we are, is it becuz they’re celebrities? We should all just let these two young adults live their lives without puttin any input in. All the stories in which u all are drawin your opinions from are all just speculations anyway cuz noone was in that car that night but two people: Rihanna and chris, so who are we to judge. If your gonna support them then do it, if not…MOVE ON!!

***Well I will still buy her music. The whole situation is sad and neither Chris or Rihanna has spoken on the situation. So , no one knows what really happened. Hopefully, they will get some help together.

@ 69. Ur right. He needs to grow up. They both do.

Im glad that they are trying to work it out. Nobody knows what these two feel or what they go through in private. I just hope the world gives them some respect and BACKS OFF WITH THE SMART ASS COMMENTS! they are grown just like we are and like Rhi-rhi says “LIVE YOUR LIFE!”.

hey lunacy

yes, I believe Rihanna loves Chris with all of her heart

But Chris is waaaay too young with his rich self to be in a committed relationship!!

She would have a better chance of getting what she (thinks she) wants if she just let’s him GO and come back to her on his own WHEN HE IS READY while she dates other guys and enjoys her life!

Right now they’re probably gonna rip things to shreds tryna make something work that can’t work, at least now now, because Chris is too young and immature for all this at 19

They need to get some help..Rihanna is not dumb, etc., she’s just young, in love and IGNORANT–there is a difference, she doesn’t know any better..hope the lessons are not too hard and if it happens again she does leave his azz alone

Chris must have flooded her voicemail with all his love songs when he was trying to get back into her life. Well it worked.

When things like this happen, it’s because they need to cool off for a while. They need to separate and evaluate their relationship before things get out of hand. Well, it already got out of hand but they still didn’t give each other the SPACE that they need. This is why we ALL know there is going to be another occurence of this situation.

@53.

I disagree. She’s perfect for Covergirl because they get to show off how flawlessly their products will restore your face after an ass whopping.

But seriously, I’m very disappointed in Rihanna. But hey, I guess she reflects the majority of women that stick with their abusers till the end. It’s all too common in our society.

Thats good to hear.

everyone deserves a second chance

if he does it again then they should break up and never get back together

hopefully he wont.

@70, wow where did u get the idea I sounded like a Chris Brown stan? Or that part about if Rihanna ended up dead? If you read the rest of my message, you’d have noticed that I said that if we as people feel so strong about this we should do something about it in our own way, whether it’s becoming involved in campaigning or charity?

Rihanna is a 21 woman, her decision is her own choice, something we cannot influence or overturn if she doesn’t want to.

Stop depending on famous people to speak out against social issues all the time. I sincerely hope Rihanna is safe, but if she doesn’t want to leave him now then so be it. It is her freewill and I don’t know why so many are being so infuriated by her. The dangers of domestic violence should be taught in the home and your own research.

hahaha, I knew this was going to happen

ALL I HAVE TO SAY TO PEOPLE PLEASE GO CHECK THE MOVIE BABY BOY!!!!!

THATS JODY AND YVETTE HERE! LOVE IS STRONGER I GUESS GOOD FOR THEM!

If its true, that means she knows she is responsible too, she loves him, she doesnt want to be responsible for her career falling and the same for him too, so its alll about love and strategy!

and I must add, she is very average looking without make up Im surprised

I’m older and I feel sorry for both of them..growing up is so hard to do, and they have to do it in front of the world

They need our support and prayers, not our hate

This is a disturbing situation, they are both young enough to be my children

I have to laugh at that Baby Boy analogy but it’s the truth. Yvette and Jodi shared their tattoos together, he cheated, he hit her, he got her pregnant again, he risked his life by being Crip, he still lived at home, and she STILL took him back in the end.

Sad….

This is a mess. Rihanna is flushing her career down the toilet because of a dude that whooped her ass and fled the scene??? I understand that battered women usually don’t operate in their right minds…but she should have tried her damndest to take the high rode.

As for her father, he’s the biggest enabler on planet earth right now. So is her camp. My ass would have quit my job working for her. I think it’s criminal to sit back and watch that girl do this to herself.

My ex husband choked me once..I left with our son the next day

I did go back, and he never laid a hand on me again

We ended up divorced any way, after a 2nd child, because he was and still is an azzhole

So I hope Rihanna and Chris will be ok..it is possible that things can get better for them.

ok I am going to stop talking about this but they got me a bit concerned

@lunancy its not love bcuz love dont hurts its jus plain stupidity.period.

Greatestloveofall, #61

This will probably be the greatest PR stunt of 2009!

DefJam and Chris’ label have been trying to take each other down behind the scenes for the last two weeks. This is the best option they could come up with, cause Chris’ label was not about to let DefJam kill Chris ($$$$). They know he is young and can reinvent himself, and they wont let him be defamed.

Rihanna is probably sippin on coconut wata in Barbados so she can drop in on Star Island within an hour to make an appearance and be gone!

she just screwed her self over big time!!!!
i just lost all respect for her!!!
( if this story is true )

the power of love/ and love power; these young celeb’s are under intense pressure and when you listen to yor heart you will return to that man or woman. i’am a witness. for i have traveled down that same road and shit let them women tell it , the ones i was dealing with, iam the second-coming of ike turner. but they came back . but one day you will find yourself all alone. a women knows when to cut you a loose and they never forget, when you run upside that head they have perfect memory - recall “sho you right” right now love wins out. mind you; so lets everybody step back. chill…… have a “i don’t believe this shit drink”. and mind your own bee’s wax. cause i’ve known women that if you didn’t knock fire out that azz they would think you were a punk, weak or what have you. ya don’t hear me. and one more. them marks on that young ladys face seems like that boy held her face down w/ his hand thats where them 2 marks on her fore head comes from, and lisa raye when somebody is bitng your azz. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THAT PERSON TEETH out of your flesh is you got to bite that person back. i know and i grauntee you when you bite that azz back. they will unleash them teeth off your azz. but not after all is said and done if i could only get to the women who i have wronged and ask them to forgive me i would find peace. but i can’t sometimes its better to leave well enough alone. i hope that in time god will find it in their heart to forgive me for putting my hands on them. a man that hits women will have a lonely life. believe me…. you might get tired of the foolishness, but in the end farther up the road we reap what we sow. i’ll end w/…… karma is a hell of a thang. so you people all up in arms need to SIT YOUR 5 DOLLAR AZZ DOWN SOMEWHERE….. where is nino when we need him. mrssssssssssssss h-a-w-k-i-n-s……

Wow! I think that is great! I am glad that at least they are PRIVATELY admitting to each what they did wrong collectively. I am very pleased that their love for each other can help them through this rough time. For those of you have no compassion for them…I feel badly for you.

But I have a feeling that some of you are just frontin cause you think you are SUPPOSE to respond with outrage..get over it

(Things are not always as they seem)

ii agree if this was beyonce people would have said she was stupid this that & other. know thats its rihanna oh she 21 hello she’s adult a women not child she shouldnt be selting for second best. she only been dating chris for a year and people are like oh imglad thier back together their in love plz didnt his team said thats why broke up a month away & know their back together is all publicity trust me thier probably the will be the most fakest young couple out their trying to make something work that aint going nowhere. she lost all respect from me i never liked her music anyway its too kiddie pop for me but how dumb is this broad and her dad saying i respect her descision didnt her dad abuse her mum done drugs that rich coming from him.

WOW!

RIHANNA learn to love yourself first before any man.

I hope he changed coz if not he will hit u again and u’ll be returning to barbados in a BOX…

If u were my daughter i would make sure u stay away from chris brown;
I dont care who is at fault in dis story, he had no right beating ur ass like that
Yes, its your life but there are PLENTY FISHES OUT THERE.. who would love u for what u are and not make u a damn boxing bag.
I have no respect for u any longer! God bless you…

I think it’s not a good look. But then again he’s 19, she is 21. Neither of them is really grown at all. So whether it’s teh right or wrong decision is gunna be decided by time.

Until the real facts about what happened comes out, no one is gunna know what the deal is. But regardless, Chris does need help. However, if she can give it to him and they both come out the other end good people, then so be it.

My guess is that this isnt gunna end well and both of them should keep it moving

excuse me have their team released any statement so how did the both admit they were wrong. something about rihanna urks fake to me i dont know her but i cant stand her voice or any of the pop shit if her ass get a beating again plz people dont fall for it.

I don’t feel one ounce of sympathy for Rhianna now. She is stupid and has low self esteem to even go back to Ike Bobby Brown. If she gets beat down again she deserves it. What is wrong with her? Love doesn’t beat you until you lose consciousness. She’s sending a bad message to girls all over the world who look up to her. Sad.

THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD. I THINK SHE IS MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE. BUT NO ONE KNOWS, MAYBE THIS IS THEIR CLOSURE. DOESN’T MEAN THEY ARE BACK TOGETHER, THEY MAY BE COMING TOGETHER AS FRIENDS AND MAY GO THEIR SEPARATE WAYS. MAYBE THEY JUST NEEDED TO TALK. IT IS NEVER GOOD TO END THINGS VIOLENTLY. SO ALL THOSE PASSING JUDGEMENT MAY NEED TO WAIT FOR THE WHOLE STORY TO UNFOLD. DIDDY A DAMN FOOL FOR GETTING INVOLVED IN THIS. WE ALL KNOW HE IS TEMPERMENTAL AND BEATS ON HIS CHICKS ALL THE WAY BACK TO HIS FIRST SON’S MOM AND THEN KIM, AND NOW PROBABLY CASSIE TOO! HE SHOULD SIT DOWN AND STOP SCHOOLING THIS YOUNG FOOL ON HOW TO GET RIHANNA BACK AFTER WHOOPING HER A$$.

RUN RIH RIH RUNNNNNNNNNNNNN! JUST SAY BYE TO THAT FOOL AFTER YOU CATCH SOME SUN IN MIAMI, TELL HIM HE NEEDS TO GROW THE HELL UP AND KEEP IT MOVING!

wow…i would think she wouldnt get back with him soley for the fact that people were gonna call her dum, but she love him and they young so whatever with that, i see that type of shit all the time in high school so whats so f*ckin different with them jus cuz they’re famous?

I’m not surprised.

HER IMAGE MAKES HER LOOK SO STRONG.I GUESS ITS ALL FOR SHOW…MY MOM WAS ABUSED BY MY STEPFATHER.HE HIT HER ONCE,APOLIGIZED,SHE TOOK HIM BACK,HE HIT HER AGAIN! ONCE A BEATER ALWAYS A BEATER.HE’S GONNA LOVE HER TO DEATH,GOD FORBID! I REALLY DONT CARE ABOUT THEIR LIFE.IM JUST SPEAKING FROM WHAT I WITNESSED AS A CHILD.HOPEFULLY THIS ISNT A MISTAKE! RIHANNA WHY??? I LOVE HER AND CHRIS,BUT THEYARE JUST SO….UGH!

LEAVE THE them alone they are only young

Well here is my opinion-

1) Careerwise- Since Rihanna has forgiven Chris, it definitely could help his image & get his career back on track. On the other hand with Rihanna, her image is pretty much destroyed. She was portrayed as this tough, empowering woman & the fact that she went back to Chris publically makes her look like a weak duck.Nobody is going to want to hear anymore ‘take a bow’ type songs from her. So in essence, I do believe her forgiving Chris is going to go against her career. Another situation that could happen is the people that sympathized for Rihanna, will turn against both her & Chris and will be fed up with the situation all together and will choose to support neither. I think she will definitely have to redo her image.

2)Relationshipwise- I think that she is definitely setting herself up to get hit in the face again. Especially since she took him back so easily. I think that she should’ve let him take the necessary steps to fix his “issues” first THEN go back to him. I think it wouldve done better on her image & I think she would get more out of the relationship this way..Regardless, if theyre both temperamental - they probably shouldnt be together period but if they choose to be I think they shouldve went about it in a better way so they can restore both careers.

As far as damage control, I still think that it will be awhile before the public will forgive Chris if the public does decide to forgive Chris..Me personally, I am still going to try to support Rihanna because I am a fan but it’s definitely going to be interesting trying to vision her as ‘empowering’ if she continues to try to Milk us with that image.

I know that none of this is my business, however, if this is true, Rihanna needs some sense knocked into her. This is not good for her health, or her image.

Whether they’re back together or not it won’t last. Abusive relationships will end in either one of these two ways:

1. Someone leaves
2. Someone dies

I have the feeling Chris Brown and his people set this all up so she wouldn’t testify against him. He’s suppose to be getting support for anger managment and he’s frolicking around at Diddy’s house with the woman he could have killed? Her career is just as dead as his. This was not a good move on her part. I know love is not easy especially for two young people but she has to look at the bigger picture here. She will no longer have the support of the people who condemend the abuse at the hands of her boyfriend and she may lose some or most of her fan base. I know she’s 21 now and officially a grown woman but someone needs to sit her down and talk some real sense into her. Chris Brown is a jerk and I’m sure she knows it but for some reason she’s still holding on. I don’t even think the little chip toothed bastard wants her anymore.

“he is really happy to be with the woman he loves”. lol. Isn’t that what started this whole thing in the first place? Because of ANOTHER woman?

I refuse to judge. They are young. I wish them the best of luck, together, apart, or whatever.

Eve said it best, “LOVE IS BLIND!” I just hate that Ri-Ri is blinded by it! SMH
People need to realize that domestic violence is more than physical. It can damaging to a person’s psyche. I am deeply sadden by this:(. What kind of message is this sending to African-American young males and females? This does nothing but reinforce the notion that domestic violence is not an issue. I swear I HATE STATISTICS!

—RIHANNA you are a HOT AZZ MESS… I knew this girl threw the first punch!!

How stupid must Rihanna be? She is NOT AT ALL independant..no matter how many times she says..

She attacked him first and provoked him, called the cops on HIM, now they are back together??

Pshhh I give up with her..

I just think rihanna is in love with Chris and is letting her heart get in the way of making a good sound decision. Because this may have been her first real mature love relationship, maybe its hard for her to let go, even though people are telling her what the right thing to do is. Chris is probably calling her saying he;s sorry and all that he is going to do to make it up to her, with kiss kiss and lovey dovey words in her ear. Whats a girl to do? I feel sorry for her because she is so young, and do not yet see the ramification of her actions if she takes him back, and end up getting abused again in the end. We can all say she is this and that for taking him back, but she alone has to learn through her own mistakes and experiences how to make good decisions.

Oh and I agree - this relationship is all for publicity. The amount of press they were getting for the last 3 weeks, then amount of press they getting now they are back together … it sickens me how fake this couple really is, just out to get the $$$ big bucks.

Stans and fans are just naive - I feel most sorry for them for believing this relationship sham,

CHRIS GOT THAT GOOD -GOOD!!! …LMAO… NEXT TIME I WON’T FEEL SORRY FOR HER… HOPE SHE KEEPS IT PERSONAL AND THEY BOTH SEEK HELP IN GODS HANDS AND PRAYERS

Way to go Rihanna. Set that example for all the girls of the world. I know this is an unfortunate incident for anyone to go through, but she really could’ve turned it into a positive and addressed violence against women. What makes her think she’ll be conscious enough to call the police next time…

When did Rihanna become the spokesperson for women involved in Domestic Violence?

U KNOW WHAT?? I DON’T EVEN CARE ANYMORE.

RIHANNA’S A DUMBASS IF THIS IS TRUE. THE END.

HER CAREER WOULD BE PRACTICALLY OVER & SO IS CHRIS’.

10 YEARS FROM NOW, THEY’LL BOTH BE ON FOOD STAMPS.

stupid ass thirsty trickkkk !
his sexx MUST be goood.

Why is it that people who claim to “hate” Bey so much are always the first one’s to bring her into a post…and PMS ur a faithful hater….u probably have a shrine of her cuz u hate constantly! Wow and Miami Mike…how can u say Bee has a big head and be on a Rihanna post…what do u call her head?…btw her album is the bomb! Get wit it or get lost! Lol….any how…I have learned that people who have been a victim of domestic violence don’t leave the person that is abusing them until they are good and ready…btw my friends’ son’s father is good friends with Chris’s mother and she said that The Dream had been texting Rihanna and Chris tried to get her phone but she wouldn’t let him get to it and that’s supposedly when he bit her hand and then she took off her shoes and started hitting him with the heel of her shoe and I guess that’s when he flipped on her ass…I don’t condone violence in ANY form but I also believe that women shouldn’t hit a man either…I am a woman and I don’t do anything to a man that I don’t want him to do to me…Let them live….they are the one’s who’ll have to live with their decisions at the end of the day….but for the people who constantly love to drag Bey’s name into these posts let it GO!…I’m a fan not a stan…but I get tired of people constantly trying to bring our own people down…that’s why we continue to stay where we are…Be glad that black people are doing positive things!

okaaay, soo rihanna is offically ! the BIGGEST DUMBASS ! to wlk

the faace of this earth ! why in the werld would she taake him back,

soo easily&evn at all. waat a dummmy ! ugh & shes makin domestic

violence look like sucha j0keee. &its not like eryone didnt see *thepic,

she was CLEARLY busted upp ! sooo wat the helll, shes soo stupid !

i am no longer a fan…stupid chick

you can’t really say she’s dumb for taking him back cos to be honest no one knows what really went down on that night apart from the two of them. obviously there are things that we don’t know about, and it’d be really judgemental of us to say she’s stupid for getting back with him. it would also be very judgemental of us to base our opinions of his whole character on what happened. don’t get me wrong, i’d never say hitting a woman or anyone else is right in any situation, but i just think we shld be happy for them that they’ve decided to resolve their issues.

With time the public will forget all about this. Because people never talk about when Sean Penn was locked up for beating Madonna a$$. Or when Mickey Rourke dotted his then wife model Carri Otis’ eye. Both women never pressed charges. My fear is the face of Domestic Violence will be of a black man beating his woman. And not the truth. Which is domestic violence can and does happen in all races.

some of yall haters get a man and mind your own relationship.

BOYCOTT them both!

i never believed the pictures, she wouldnt have healed that fast. she would still be bruised today……

OKAY. WHO SAID THEY EVER BROKE UP IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO WHAT THEY GOT INTO IT??? ITS ONLY A BIG DEAL B/C THEYRE IN THE PUBLIC EYE! DO YOU RIHANNA. I”M NOT MAD AT CHA!!!!!

JUST LISTEN TO TAKE YOU DOWN AND YOU WILL KNOW WHY SHE WENT BACK WINK WINK…..

Oh well

@#133

You probably don’t have one yourself….lol….If you do he probably beats you just as bad as Chris beat Rihanna.

Of course its true.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
What they didn’t report was that meeting Rihanna had with Lorena Bobbitt.
Who the hell can rely on the LAPD to take care of business.

I know Rhi has a trick or two up her sleeve. Someone’s in for a big surprise.

Can’t wait - this is getting too good,

Dumb shit! I would never kiss and touch a man who wipped me in the past.

JODY AND YVETTE BABY BOY MOVIE IM TELLIN YOU PEOPLE AT LEAST AT THE END OF THE MOVIE THEY ENDED HAPPILY TOGETHER

If she takes him back she’s an idiot. Damn why?? Rihanna you don’t need that toe rag SMH. When will these women learn?

Nobody has to know anyone personally. Did we have to know Rihanna personally to purchase her records?

Then we don’t have to know her to stop buying them. I think some of you are forgetting that Rihanna is in the public eye because of fans (including some of the people on here), so their opinions do matter if she wants to keep that record deal.

I never bought her records but I felt for her when this happened. Now if she gets back with Chris, I can’t do nothing for her.

Every time I see that picture I shiver. She is so over if this is true. Dumb fool.

Oh and the picture told me what went down, he beat her ass like she was his little brother or something.

I don’t need to know what went down. He hit her, I don’t care what he did it for. That’s all I need to know.

If she took him back she is a stupid fool. Plain and simple. Don’t wanna hear no excuses.

smh poor girl… she has zero self esteem, her family and country must be really embarassed of her. Chris cheats on her in front of her face and to top it off her give her a beatdown on the regular and she’s still with him how pathetic can someone be. Anyway my mind has totally changed from Rihanna.. i believe the next step for her is rehab or a sex tape. Looking at Chris would make me puck.

soooo. . .i do feel like everyone makes mistakes and if she can forgive him, thats her decision. as a female, i have (wrongfully) put my hands on my man and it wasnt pretty. I WILL say that he was man enough NOT to hit me back and he was able to forgive me. it left a scar that i still look at sometimes and i felt awful. at the time, i literally lost it.
maybe he did too, not surprising being that he experienced a home filled with abuse as a child.
no, its not right to put your hands on a woman but that doesnt mean hes a woman beater. none of us know him-what we DO know is that many (if not most) men who choose to beat their women decide NOT to change. that doesnt mean its not possible.
forgiving someone doesnt make it dumb. now, if it continues, then that DOES make you dumb for staying.

SMH, we all saw this coming but good luck to the both of them.

Never Ever is now #78 on the iTunes top Songs, #4 of the iTunes Top Videos & #10 on the iTunes top R&b/Soul. lets move them numbers fans!!!

#74. You stupid for supporting them. Her taking him back is one of the biggest mistakes of her life and her career. If a man beats you like Chris beat RIRI he;s gon do it again. This whole make up sh** is for publicity. Now both their careers gon be F*** up!

Well i dont think we can really judge because we dont know what happened or whether it was the first time he hit her etc. The two are obviously in love. Im not condoning what Chris did, but once a wife beater, does not necessarily equal always a wife beater. You never know, she may have gotten back with him on the grounds he met some conditions (getting help etc).

It was becoming more and more clear by Rihanna`s behavior these last three weeks that she still cared for Chris and just wanted this case to go away. If Chris apologized to her and he was sincere and learned that he should`nt put his hands on a woman.Then there is hope for Chris and Rihanna.My boyfriend amd I use to get into some violent fights,but we both learned to settle our differences by talking things out,instead of physically hitting each other. Today,we are very,very happily married.So if Chris is truly sincere and learned from this incident,there is hope for him and Rihanna.
