UPDATE: RIHANNA SPOTTED IN LA - ISSUES A STATEMENT
Saturday, February 21, 2009

After almost two weeks of hiding from the public, Rihanna was spotted in Los Angeles heading to an airport on Thursday - the same day a photo of her with bruises on her face released to the public.
The singer finally released a statement to fans on Friday (her 21st birthday) via her spokesperson:
At the request of the authorities, Rihanna is not commenting about the incident involving Chris Brown. She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time.

There is NOTHING to wait for, he beat her and is going to pay the price from a jail cell. What will the Chris STANS do then? lol
Chris Brown is a LOSER who beats on women to cover up his obvious homosexual tendencies. I think he really is frustrated not being able to go out in publice with Neyo. He is stuck with Rihanna and wanted to beat her down because he doesn’t like women. SMDH

Chris career will be fine…march 5th will roll around and the full details will come out and you will see that this case fell victim to excessive speculation. Rihanna did obtain injuries but more than likely not how we expected. I believe they did get into some kind of automobile accident as a result of a argument getting out of hand that did involve some kind of physical struggle which is why her pr team had originally issue the statement that they got into a automobile accident before they found out the full details b/c i heard often even the pr team is kept in the dark and are only told half a story.

I dont care what any of you say…. when this story broke it didnt seem right to me! I think there is Wayyyyy more to this story and we have yet to hear the entire truth of what happen!! the only thing that will make someone snap that bad all of a sudden like that is you tell him 1. im doing your best friend 2. i gave you a disease 3. you attacked him first and HIT/Kicked him in the Balls “WHICH” that hurts men. everyone is saying he did it before BUT i dont think that is true she has never missed a performance or a photo shoot so i question that story as well… as for this PHOTO from LAPD i dont believe it they doctor stuff up all the time and you know they didnt have much of a case on Chris in the first place if the DA sent it back to the LAPD and told them to come up with more evidence before they can fiqure out what to charge him with!!… I THINK RI RI is a DRAMA QUEEN and she is from the ISLANDS yall know them women is KRAZY!! i believe a gurl called or txtd Chris and RI RI was so angry she attacked him first WHICH does not give him the right to hit her HOWEVER, i can understand you defending yourself WOMEN kill and abuse MEN as well all the time LETS JUST WAIT before we just say CHRIS did it all and throw him out the window before the story comes out….

if chris brown was a threat or beat her up before then how come she did not have a body guard with her at all times esp when out with him? i mean come on. if u are scared and have access to a bodyguard u would have one or even two with you at all times. chris brown would understand because he has bodyguards too.

That herpes claim is so lame. I have never heard of someone beating up another person for giving them an std and I won’t even go into the prevalence of std’s among young blacks.
That claim is comes from those females who saw Rihanna as a threat to their baby support check - they thought somehow they had a chance of becoming pregnant by Chris Brown and never having to work for the rest of their lives.
This really baffling and sad and I too am trying to understand and my own speculations seem to believe that that kind of rage stems from Chris’s confusion with his sexual orientation and having to put up with a female which his management team forced on him - she innocently fell in love with him, and wanted to be with him all the time to be point where it became overbearing. It eI wont be surprised if Rihanna is a virgin.
Sorry but I just can’t understand how someone could beat up on their friend and lover in such a manner. Such violence, such rage. Even that crazed chimp in Maccachusetts was in more control and did not attack the woman who cared for him.
I still feel for Chris because he is so young and the road ahead does not look too good. He most definately is a tortured soul.

There is always more to the story, we havent heard anything about that night from either of them. It will be interesting to see what each of them will say. People are all caught up in that picture, but behind that pic is a story that we dont know-weve all assumed. What I do know is LAPD is the most corrupt police dept on earth. So I feel for him having to deal with them. They killed BIG, beat Rodney, and most def know who killed Tupac but they aint talking about that. Lastly…I read the DA kicked evidence back to the police for more investigation. Why? If they have THAT picture why do they need more? Seems like a slam dunk case to me, everyone and their mother ASSUMES its from a good ol fashion ass kickin…what does the DA know that we dont? Perhaps its her statement to police……

I feel so sorry for Rihanna. Not only because I’m a huge fan of hers. But I feel sorry for her as a woman to have to go thru something like this at such a young age or at all. My condolences go out to her and to the people who love and care about her. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy and I would be in jail if anything like this were to happen to my sisters, cousins, best friend or whoever. No one deserves this.

Obviously, there are a lot of young people on this site who fail to understand the effects of domestic violence. This is a real problem in our community and is constantly filtered in the culture, ie music, movies etc. Domestic violence can happen to ANYONE and is often unplanned and unprovoked. Cowards usually engage in sneak attacks on victims who are ill prepared to defend themselves. This is going to be a long process for Rhianna, invading her privacy and injecting our opinions is useless and frankly none of our business. Things are always more complicated than they seem especially matters of the heart. I am a strong, educated, talented woman but I was a victim of a sneak attack by a deranged ex who tried to destroy my life and career. I survived and so can you Rhianna. Let the naysayers hate. You NEVER know, it could be you someday. Jealousy and envy between men and women must end!

I’m starting to think this relationship really wasn’t real to begin with..but actually was a ploy to build Rihanna and especially Chris’ career.
Notice how the couple started coming out publically last year almost to the day of the attack, right around the Grammys and Clive Davis’ party??? HMMMMM.
If their relationship was a ploy, agreed in advance that it would run for one year, it worked too well–they made too good a couple! Far from hating, the public actually loved them and expected them to stay together and maybe even get married someday!! I’m sure they slept together and maybe even fell “in love.” They were so perfect together!
But Chris is ONLY 19. Too young, much too young for such a heavy commitment for such a young, rich, famous, and good looking young man, who has honeys all over the world literally hangin from his dcik!
He wanted to end the relationship, as per the terms of the original agreement, but Rihanna didn’t. As the end of the agreement neared, she started to pressure him, he tried to hold her to the plan because she “knew it wasn’t a relationship” and it was over as agreed! But Rihanna wasn’t trying to hear that, because they were so great together and were so “in love….”
We know how guys get when girls try to turn a FB relationship into a real one, right? It doesn’t work!! How you started up is how you gotta end up in a situation like that.
If Rihanna was older and wiser, she would have let Chris go, started dating other people, and let him come back to her on his own when he was ready. Oh, she’d have to close her legs (to Chris) also:)
Due to the extraordinary pressures of this fake situation, feeling trapped and enraged Chris lost his patience and temper and blew!!
The rest is history.
This is just my .02 — any thoughts??
Get well Rihanna, you didn’t deserve this. Can’t wait to see you back out there lil mama.
Chris get it together and make the amends needed to salvage your career. You’re too talented to let it all go down the drain like this.

“She looks like she is crying behind those glasses. She made her own bed and she should lie in it. She has been living that high life, singing about how she never buys anything on sale, everything designer and that shit. Hey, it comes with the territory. I have no sympathy. None.”
**********************************************************
It is just her image. It is for “entertainment” purposes. Just because she’s rich doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve our sympathy. You are right about one thing-you are cold as ice.

“Im sooooooooooooo tiered of this she doesnt represent anything but a girl who had a fight with her man we should be focussing on people who suffer domestic violence on a day to day basis… some people are in these relationships for years!!”
******************************************************************
The problem is it doesn’t look like she got a chance to fight back, so it wasn’t a fair fight. The good thing is these people who you say we should be focusing on indirectly are being helped by Rhianna’s situation. They don’t have to feel isolated. If this could happen to her it could happen to anyone.

“What im saying is its hard to really judge because i think she is confused.”
*******************************************************
I agree she does seem to be confused, but I think it’s mostly because she may still have feelings for Chris. It must be hard. You don’t just stop loving someone-even if that someone beat you up.

“Rihanna dosen`t even mention the leaked photo nor does she threaten to sue TMZ.,that`s because the leaked photo does not violate her privacy”

“But they fought in public, out in the open for bystanders to see and take photos,and she freely allowed certain people to take photos.Anything that takes place in public becomes part of the public domain.GOD BLESS YOU RIHANNA!and get well soon.”
**********************************************************
These photos weren’t taken in public. These photos were taken by the police. Big difference.

“It’s sad that Rihanna, who probably was learning this due to all of her exposure to the predatory men of color in the music business, and now sees that the majority of support for her is occurring outside the black community.
And people wonder why Tina Turner turned her back on black folks and never looked back.
Ike Turner is a hero in the black community and folks laugh off his abuse with jokes. The same will happen for Chris Brown. His career is FAR from over in the world of BET and Vibe magazine.”

BRAVO!!!

“Where were their parents, like a lot of people gave Beyonce’s mother and father crap about being in her life and stirring her career. But when your young and in a relationship with a much older man, them being there helped out a lot. This is what happens when you don’t have guidance, and thinking your grown.”
*****************************************************************
No doubt Beyonce’s parents care about her, but they are also in the business. They are about making that dough. Mathew let her education slide so she could be a big star. I’d hate to think what would have happened to Beyonce with her limited education had it not worked out. Furthermore, Beyonce’s parents were very close to being divorced because Mathew is a cheating, coke snorting dog. Also, I truly believe her parents didn’t want her with JAY-Z, but what can you do? Beyonce thought she was grown. Let’s just wait to see how that pans out before making her the poster girl.
