Is Reuniting With Chris A Good Career Move For Rihanna?

I think she is incredibly talented, but I think this is a bad personal move as well as professional.

I agree. Chris Brown is finished in the Entertainment. The majority of his fanbase are women, and most of them are not going to buy the music of a domestic assault perpetrator.

However, though I like Rihanna's music, I am disinclined to support her, too, because I think staying with someone who abuses women sends a very bad message to young women everywhere.

I also think Chris Brown wheddled himself back in Rihanna's good graces so she wouldn't press charges, and she is really vulnerable right now, it worked.

It's a sad, unfortunate situation any way you look at it.

Typical black culture. Women put up with their black husbands, boyfriends or whatever beating them. Hell some big 'ol black women beat their black husbands too. Nothing new here.

so is she showing being a good role model by going back 2 a girlfriend/wife beater, wow is she showing every women this happens 2, 2 go back to them, am sorry shes lost my respect, i now refuse 2 listen 2 her, stopped listening 2 jackass wen this 1st happened.

I like chris.....i don't see why everyones hating I mean just chill and wait for the story to come out then judge.....in the mean time they say one in 5 wemon are abused instead of worrying about rich celebrities worry about people who actually matter to you

Is ending up dead a good career move?!? Cause that is basically what will happen. If she really has gone back to him, the violence will only continue to increase.

Hahaha who cares. Rihanna cant sing, she has huge thighs, a man face, a huge forehead, crazy hair, shes just creepy looking. Not to mention her voice is awful. She has a snobby personality, and is not the least bit endearing.

I think she deserves a good slap or two.
If anything, I think Chris Brown can do sooooooooo much better!!

As a fan I'm saddened because its just a matter of time she may end up on the same road again BUT perhaps in worse shape. I hope not though!!

Business is business and though it may seem like a good idea now for her AND for business, in the end its all about fans buying and I don't think fans will buy any of it. I also happen to think she is trying to help his career AND his court case. Just sayin...

There are only so many crys for wolf before its really all over but the crying for her.

i've lost respect for her. definitely doesn't send a good message to fans. there's no reason for what happened to have happened at all and letting him get off is gonna do nothing but allow him to have more control over her and possibly do it again.

I've lost all respect for her. She had the opportunity to be a role model here and she's sent a terrible message out there to other abused women. What a disappointment she's turned out to be.

I think she is stupid for going back to him if that is the case. I just hope that he does not send her to the grave next time!

You people are sooooooo frikn stupid.
she can do whateva the heill she wants to
they are only human. people deserve forgiveness. you people are animals go to church shut up and listen

Of course she can do "whateva the heill she wants to" but that doesn't mean that I have to respect that decision. If she ever sings song about being a strong woman, It will just be a lie. It does send a bad message that men can do this and even to celebs and it won't have any consequences. If celeb royalty can't keep from being treated this way, what chance does the everyday girl next door have? So sad

"you people are animals go to church" If they teach u in the churches that its okay if your boyfriend/husband beats you up, just forgive him and wait til he does that again, then nope.. Im never gonna go to church again.

She's stupid in my opinion for going back with him.She's teaching him that it's ok for him to beat her since she will not press charges and everyone in the hip hop community seem to be giving him a pass. His own father, a correctional officer trying to find an excuse for him. The boy needs anger management big time and Rhianna better hope and pray that next time, he doesn't kill her.I think it's apalling.

she is done

I was always a chris brown fan and i kno it may wrong to be one now in chris brown eyes, but i'm not going to stop liking his music, but i do honestly think that because of all the people that have dropped him it is going to b kind of hard to believe him getting back in to people's good grace...now with rihanna. i like her music, but now that she is suppose to be back with him i don't know if i can consider myself a fan. what example is she setting for little girls that look up to her. it's okay if you boyfriend hits you if he promise he will never do it again. that's just my opinion. i do think it will affect her fanbase.

Shame on you Rihanna if this is true. This was your moment to shine, to go from being pop princess to being the new queen of pop, to show the world what it means to be a strong woman like Madonna has. You have lost touch with yourself, and where is your family through this?! You should be back at home with your family, regrouping and coming back stronger than ever. Shame Shame Shame

It's not a good move for her as a woman. Why would anyone respect her if she lets him beat her up, leave her on the street and try to plead self-defense. I hope this isn't true. If it is, she's not setting a good example for her female fans or women in general. There are enough women who stay with men like that.

"it's okay if you boyfriend hits you if he promise he will never do it again"

You need to go back to school and get an education. Violence is NEVER the answer, no matter what the circumstances are. Once a beater, always a beater!

It doesn't change my opinion of her. I love her music and have all her CD's. But I don't care about her personally. Thats her own choice if she wants to stay with that ass hole, so whatever. She'll learn some day....

As a Bajan I will always love Rihanna but I just cannot support her for getting back with Chris, if the rumour is true... why would she do that? I guess the rumour must be true that she threw the first punch... I guess she's taking some of the blame... that's just not a healthy relationship.

I think they're both DONE !

There is no excuse to hit a woman ,

she needs some self respect ,

dump that ugly little boy and go get a REAL MAN ! ,

she's beautiful and talented and he is

nothing , real men don't do that !

I do worry about people who matter to me and her sending the message to all her young fans that this is ok is WRONG !

I don't need to know what happened or what the argument was , beating up a woman is wrong , period !

She'll find out the next time it happens I guess ,

people who think it's ok to do this always find a reason to excuse their actions ,

Maybe he should go to church and find out what love really means !

I don't have any respect for her if she stays with him. I would not listen to her. and Him? hahahh he's done.

I think the message she is sending is horrible and I won't support her music anymore. I feel she should also lose her endorsement deals.

Rihanna- HORRIBLE PERSONALLY and as a CAREER move! Thought u were intelligent but YOU ARE STUPID! See you very soon-BEATEN TO DEATH!No more music or endorsement deals for her! SHAME ON YOU Rihanna!YOU ARE A DISGRACE!

Rihanna- HORRIBLE PERSONALLY and as a CAREER move! Thought u were intelligent but YOU ARE STUPID! See you very soon-BEATEN TO DEATH!No more music or endorsement deals for her! SHAME ON YOU Rihanna!YOU ARE A DISGRACE!

let her live her life ... non yall buis anyway

Rihanna Is Pretty...
She Should Give Him Another Chance If She Still Loves Him...
So Its Nobody's Business....!!

no ones business, y is everyone acting as if they are going to wipe her ass. she is an adult. and she knows her rights

HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME

They love each other , we don't know the details and we shouldn't its her personal life .

self defense lol

The world is immense she will definitely have the support she needs

I think it's more complex than that. I'll bet his team/her team knew that it wasn't worth a schism in the industry and the best way to smooth it out (save his ass) was for her to take him back (prob. for $), keep together for a while, then break up with him. Diddy and Jay are business men - nobody wants to lose that kinda scrizzle. She knows what's up. I'll be it's not for what ya'll think it is. It's a business decision and she's throwin him a line.

NO ONE even knows what happened, so it's ridiculous to even be discussing this. For all you know, she could have beat the crap out of him, and he was defending himself.

It is their personal life but the profession that they chose is in the public eye and therefor they can not expect anything less than to be publicly scrutinized for their behavior, good or bad. Oh, and, were aren't bothering them on here by stating our opinions. Just like anyone else, they can choose to read this or not. Its called. If they can't take the criticism, maybe they chose the wrong career.

why is everbody coming down hard on Rihanna? She's basically a teenager, get mad at her parents and advisors.

well, my respect and fanship for both of them are way beyond gone now.

uh, yeah they are pretty much done, especially Rihanna. I mean, hate to say this but, after what initially happened, the public and ppl everwhere were so horrified and sympathetic to her. Now, if she blows off the problem, ppl will judge her even harsher bc she's playing the victim role and being an enabler. ppl would care if anything happens to her bc if she doesn't give a damn, why should we?

YOU people really dont know what its to be a victim. you live in your white picket fences with your dogs or cats. if you dont your spouse you divorce them. just in the snap of a finger. I have witnessed abuse , My father physically abused my mother but he got help, my mother stayed and they have been married 55 years now.he has respect for my mother .and i do too!!
you want to walk away from your problems go right on

live with your dogs or cats ! forget about intimacy with a human being

once a n-----, always a n-----

If she is into some messed up relationship, then I am done with her as well. I'm not gonna be an enabler.

GOT LOHAN?

This bitch (Rihanna) is so selfish that she lets HER OWN FATHER SELL NOVELTY ITEMS on street corners while she has millions of dollars to spare.

Granted, she doesn't owe her dad anything, but she sure doesn't know a thing about honoring her parents.

So far as I'm concerned, the uppity broad deserves a few more beatdowns.

For any of you that think their career is over for either of these 2 morons after such a scandal, I have 2 words for you: R Kelly

8:19 - You don't know anything about us, so shut your mouth. And BTW - this isn't group, honey. This is the world wide web. We don't need to hear all of your personal issues.

I have 2 different words for you: Britney Spears.

I guess what they say is true: "Any publicity is good publicity."

Lmao sorry abuse is everyones business ,

he doesn't have a beat up face and a split lip ,

hitting women is wrong , anyone who doesn't get that need serious help lol

yeah she can walk away ,

theres tons of realo men in the world ,

they have no kids ,

they're young , they aren't married

, no reason in the world to take that crap , so yeah RUN don walk away from that jerk !

and R Kelly and Britney Spears are both JOKES who are too stupid to know they're JOKES lmaoo

why anyone would support those fools is beyond me

You are wrong. Personal stories of abuse that took place decades ago are NOT everyone's business. And quite frankly, they're really friggin boring.

This article is about Rihanna and Chris and the incident between them. That doesn't make it an open invitation for all you sickos to pepper the waves with your own personal takes of woe.

LOL LOL LOL

It's pretty simple. Chris Brown committed a crime. He also happened to engage in unacceptable social behavior by committing thisp articular crime. Most polls show that more then 80% of people asked felt he was an asshole and he was wrong. They are boycotting his music, they are cheering when he loses his endorsement deals. All because he beat his girlfriend so bad he put her in the hospital and an eyewitness called police. The public wrapped their arms around Rihanna. If Rihanna turns around now and sides with Chris, then she will lose fans. And Cover Girl doesn't use women who are punching bags for their advertising. So yeas. If she stands on the same side of this as Chris Brown, she is his enabler and the public will lose respect for her and frankly, after all the support they gave her, the public will feel betrayed. Like we care more about her then she cares about herself. I will boycott her if she supports him.

8:54 i have one thing to say catty .. stop the abuse, we are just posting our opinions

9:08 your Lmao, lol and lmaoo are really inappropriate.

9:27 - No you're not just posting your opinions, DUMMY. You're posting stale old tales of abuse. Stories of woe, real or imagined. Opinions are what SHOULD be here. Your past history isn't.

issue of physical abuse

You can't give an opinion about the Rihanna-Chris thing without dragging all the skeletons out of your closet? Geez - it must suck to be you. People must run when they see you enter the grocery store.

Sadly the younger generation are as dumb as stumps. None of what happened will effect either one of them. The nitwits will continue to support them. In fact it will start a trend, girls will beg their boyfriends to give them a beat down. Bruises will be the new black.

9:29 THE POINT IS RIRI AND CHRIS WILL BE JUST FINE.
CHRIS HAS BEEN FORGIVEN.
AND RIRI HAS AND WILL ALWAYS HAVE FANS.

9:40 - You couldn't just say that without injecting your own tale of abuse?

Word is that Jay-Z hasn't forgiven Chris. Chris better watch out.

9:40 LMAO SOOORY NO ONE S PERFECT

I agree. This is supposed to be about Rihanna & Chris. Don't turn it into Days Of Our Lives. Rihanna is a beautiful young woman. She's gonna make mistakes in judgment. But what she's trying to tell people is that it is her life and she'll live it as she sees fit.

Whoever is tripping over their caps might want to take a chill pill or another wine cooler or something. That's exactly the kind of frustration that leads to abusive situations. lol

Jay-Z will put a beatdown on Chris if Chris is lucky. If he isn't lucky, Jay-Z will kill him.

=======================

Jay Z made it clear from day one he wasn't taking sides. Take your wishful thinking and shove it up your azz.

9:47 its so easy for people to judge without living it . yes riri will lose fans but she will have to live and learn.

(laughing) that's why they're at P. Diddy's place. They're hiding out!

You're so full of it. Jay-Z gave a statement to the press in which he stated that he'd kill Chris. He said Chris didn't know what crew he was messin with.

One thing is for sure. You have a lot of anger and frustration shoved up your azz. Must suck to be as stupid as you.

Night all. I see I once again frustrated the Trailer Park Queen. She'll probably sit on her toy poodle. I'll laugh all night just thinking about it. It's so easy to get her going. :-)

A STUPID 21 YEAR OLD GIRL. I AM 40 YEARS OLD, AND TRUST ME, YOU DON'T NEED BOYFRIENDS AT THE AGE. LIVE, HAVE FUN, GO OUT WITH YOUR GIRLS, THINK OF YOUR FUTURE. THIS IS NUTS, I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HER NOW, WHY IS HER FAMILY ALLOWING HER TO GO BACK TO THIS GUY?? NEVER EVER SHOULD A MAN, HIT A WOMEN!! SO SAD.

LMAO do you really think Beyonce will allow Jay-z to defend Ri? She is too selfish and immature. It's not going to happen.

thats it , have great night everyone sleep tight with your pants tight lol

Where tell us where he said it I want to read it.

I don't care how much she loves him... she has a social responsibility to be a positive role model and show that physical abuse is not acceptable. For the person who made the forgiveness/church comment: forgiveness doesn't mean you have to take someone back. She's weak. He's an abuser. I'd put money down that this wasn't the first time, just the worst time. I'm done supporting either of them.

well put kudos

Of course her father will support whatever she does. He doesn't want to go against her and lose his money train.

Any respect I had for Rihanna is gone. All I see is a punching bag now when I see her face. Both their careers are over because people will always think of them as Ghetto now.

Rihanna only has one hit that I know of, that stupid umbrella song, now she can do a re-mix. "Oh, hit me with your umbrella, yea yea, I won't mind, hit me with your umbrella".

There is video on the web of jayz hitting a girl in the face. He too likes to hit women.

Just another dumb bitch who stays in a screwed up realationship for attention. Do not coming crying to whatever fans you have let when he hits you again.

seems everyone is concerned about what this will mean to her fans and how it will affect other women, although i think she should've left him, at the end of the day it is HER life and her decesion should be based on what she wants not what others want or expect from her

Just because someone is a actor, singer,producer,director or what ever their title in hollywood may be it doesn't make them a good person or a smart person.Just because they have money and people cosider them "famous" it doesn't make them better or immune to the same problems and hang ups as us "normal" people and just because they are famous it doesn't mean they have class.

No she's an idiot next time she might not be so lucky, once an abuser always an absuser that guy will never change.

God black people are stupid.

toxic relationship

Why be racist? What purpose does it serve?

10:01 don't know who you're writing to, but I read it in US Weekly magazine online. Jay-Z said, "Chris is a dead man. He messed with the wrong crew." do U have google? you'll find it.

This dumb broad will get herself pregnant next...

it's all the white man's fault for oppressing black people. reparations now, reparations forever!!

you don't like it here? there are flights to africa every day why don't you fly to somalia i hear it's nice this time of year

Yeah... I do think she is kind of lame after I heard she and Chris Brown are back together.

If she doesn't leave Brown while she has resources (youth, people, connection, family, friends, career, money), it will be harder for her to leave him later. She might end up like Whitney Huston. That's not good. If all the resources she has doesn't make her confident enough to leave him, then nothing can make feel good about herself and leave.

DON'T SETTLE FOR A NO GOOD THUG RIHANNA!

HE HIT YOU ONCE HE GONNA HIT YOU AGAIN GIRL!

YOU CAN DO BETTER PLENTY A GOOD MEN OUT THERE THEY KNOW HOW TO TREAT A WOMAN RIGHT NONE A THAT DIRTY HOOD RAT BUSINESS.

LMAOOOO ,

I'll tell you what's inappropriate and

that's anyone stupid enough to even try

and justify abuse ! ,

they're human JOKES & it's laughable ,

so yeah LOL and LMAOOO at them and

their stupidity ! ,

I guess hitting some is ok though right,

just don't laugh at them lmaooo

I could cry they're so pathetic but

laughing is much more fun lol !

I don't understand why people don't see the patterns ,

there are all these personal stories because that's how it starts and it doesn't just stop ,

he going to get angry again at something and what's he going to do next time ,

it usually gets worse not better ,

people want to pretend it's just some argument but arguments don't end with someone in the hospital and someone else arrested , figure it out !
so yeah

i used to be a Rihanna fan well guess what??? Not anymore i have lost all sympathy and respect for her and she has lost me as a fan! I refuse to have my children listen to her music she is definitely sending the wrong message by going back with that ass whole of a bf

I have a question to ask ppl

I really like this guy, but I found out he is very deeply into bdsm lifestyle, I really couldn't believe it because he's a sweetheart, but he's a Dom....is bdsm an unhealthy thing, is it something someone with issues would do? A male who likes to dominate? I don't like to think he believes women are sh*t but I'm so confused as to why.. but then again, I am very submissive..tmi, I know, but does anyone know anything about this? gawd maybe this is a topic left for a different board...but I'm just so confused about....whether it's just a fantasy he loves to play, or whether it's something he really believes in? wrong board probably....

bad personal decision - Chris Brown is a wild animal, he will attack again, so he should be kept in a cage - and bad profesional decision - a "star" is someone the public looks up to, not a reminder of how low human nature can be

im never going to buy a rihanna cd or somg ever again! she dissapoints her fans now!!stupid stupid girl..!

The average abused woman will leave seven times before leaving for good. Intervention does not work in most cases. Abuse does escalate the longer you are in the relationship. I do not condone her going back but I do understand and hope she will leave before he does life-threatening harm to her. Anyone posting can check the facts at any number of abuse sites. It is an eye-opener.

I hope the state of California has a law that states it is out of the hands of the abused and into the hands of the DA on whether to prosecute. In other words she would not be able to have the charges dropped, even if she wanted to.

to 5.22: what does going to church have to do with it?, forgiveness? sadly this is exactly the kind of attitude that get women in trouble, you can forgive someone and let go of a situation but you don't have to go back to them and put yourself at risk again in order to do that and to not jugde, people need to know there is a difference and he needs to know what he does will lose him the one he loves, forgiving and taking back over and over doesn't help anyone. I will not judge them dispite my view since i don't know what really happened nor does anyone else but it doesn't look good, they are both young and Rihanna is obviously not ready to let the relationship go, i don't think she will stay with him, he seems very immature for her. I do think her career will suffer in terms of ensorsements she will have due to people no supporting her decision but his will suffer no matter what, i hope he's learnt his lesson for her sake.

If she had only said she forgave him and then kicked him to the curb, great! If....

I'll tell you who's career will prosper Jay-Z, i never really cared much for him but i like that he's got her back, go Jay-Z!! you are being watched closely Chris.

RUN for your life

I have a song recommended for Rihanna. Remember That by Jessica Simpson.

Remember how when Chris Brown pounded you with his fist and left you wounded.

Remember how he threaten to kill you.

It doesn't matter how he hurts you with his fists or his words you don't deserve it it ain't worth it just take your heart and run.

So when the same old weakness get so strong that you're helpless, just remember what Chris Brown did to your beautiful face and just pounded it nonstop. Just leave that loser and get a Real Man who knows how to respect women.

we shouldn't be even talking about her stupidness, that even makes both of them more famous. a fame both of them are obviously not worth it, because if they were they wouldn't act so careless and irresponsible towards there fans and thousands of people looking up to them.

okay so I don't know why someone has labeled this a "black thing" because white men beat up their wives just as much as black men. what it all dwindles down to is whether it's right; and the answer is no. im sure that rihanna loves chris and sometimes love makes you weak and wont allow her to just say hey im done, but when a guy puts his hands on you he has basically said that i don't respect and cherish you. rihanna has let her fans down. men and women. she is saying to men that is okay to hit your wives and girlfriends and to women that you should put up with it. maybe she's hoping to salvage chris' reputation and play down what he did, but we've all seen the picture, and although we don't know exactly what happened, the point is it happened. and for her father to say he supports her to me only makes the situation worse because he's allowing his daughter to set herself up for abuse (physical, emotional, whatever). for rihanna to be such a big celeb and a constant person in the limelight, i think she rushed into making the decision to get back with chris and i just don't support that shiz.

i think a lot of people are going to lose respect for Rhianna for getting back with Chris...this is nothing to do with standing by your man....it shows shes weak...she should have walked away

i think a lot of people are going to lose respect for Rihanna for getting back with Chris...this is nothing to do with standing by your man....it shows shes weak...she should have walked away

i lived Rihanna A lot before all this happened, but This decision is SICK!!! She doesn't deserve NO respect!

First she calls the police, then she says she loves him. Yack!

AUNQUE LA MONA SE VISTA DE SEDA, MONA QUEDA!

Rhianna and Chris are in love. If they want to go back together that is their business, and should not be judged. Young people make alot of mistakes. It's what they do after getting back together that is going to be the most important factor of their lives and their careers. They do not owe anyone anything except to theirselves. To make their relationship work, both need counseling. Rihanna obviously feels that she had a part in the onset of the incident, and knows that she started the whole chain of events. Unfortuately Chris is the one that is going to suffer more for it. That is why they must do counceling together, especially for him to keep his fan base.
I hope the best for them, and especially Chris, because he is going to need alot of patience, and endurance, now. Godd luck to the two you you.
mc

She is my favourite. Is she single now? Her blog and photos were found at `dating site ****** W e a l t h yD a t e r . c o m**** last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is seeking on that site. ☆☆☆☆☆???☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

what a crazy bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!

If she did get back with Chris Brown, Britney Spears seems so much more sane than her!!!

seriously, abuse is a very diff level than what Britney went through. accepting abuse is like the ultimate dumb thing you can do to your own life.

I will lose ALL respect for Rihanna if she gets back together with Chris B. They need to stop playing their music entirely - and let the 2 go down together. RiRi's decision will be a HUGE letdown for women.

Good girl gone bad...SMH... LOL

shes great, but I will lose all respect for her if she takes him back.

OR MAD...

THE QUESTION SHOULDN'T BE WHAT OTHERS ARE GOING TO THINK OF HER FOR GETTING BACK WITH HIM BUT MORE SO ABOUT HOW SHE'S GOING TO FEEL ABOUT HERSELF FOR GETTING BACK WITH HIM!!! SHE MUST BE FEELING PRETTY LOW IN HERSELF she is going to feel even worse about herself for not expecting better for herself and she doesn't even realise it yet, i feel sorry for her, she doesn't deserved to be put down, it's obvious she is lacking self esteem i just hope she doesn't sink further.

When you are a 21 year old girl, love is blind. If I am not mistaken she came from a troubled, broken home so I would hope that before she invests to much more time with Brown, she seeks the help of a good counselor. I would hate to see this talented young woman become yet another statistic for domestic abuse.

I can believe someone could be sorry if they had hit someone once and recoiled in the horror of what they had done in a moment of anger but to hit someone multiple times and then run doesn't show me he was sorry, it only shows in really intened to hurt her sadly, he can say sorry all he wants, one slap doesn't result in those injuries. Someone said they are in love? this isn't love, love doesn't hurt especially like this, this is toxic and it just looks like co-dependance to me, she doesn't feel good about herself without someone by her side, unfortunately atm that person is him sadly for her. There's something wrong when a person has to use brutal force to put a point across to someone doesn't he know how to communicate with words?, no love there, all he cares about right now is how this will effect his career that's the only place where his reget is coming from. I can't see this relationship lasting no matter if they got together again or not, it was dead the day he lifted his hands at her.

She is weak.
Her father learnt through the press she got back with Chris, that tells a lot about the "close relationship to her father.
It also took ages until any of them made a public declaration, that alone shows imo little respect for both fan bases, as both are very public images.
She could of taken advantage of the situation: take distances and speak against violence, this for the sake of her teenager fans. For her to get back together with Chris after three weeks is a very bad moove, but maybe if she reads the various opinions around she may change her mind again. Nonetheless in this story, Rihanna's image has also been struck.

when it happens its very common to go back .. its the emotions .. you dont understand until you go through it.. she will leave him eventually. hugs rihanna .. stay strong. no one is judging you .. the people who judge havent been through this before and dont matter.

white trashy folks on this page ...

why is everyone being so racist. i am white and i live in a trailer and my husband beats me

7:55 am I think your wrong. Its easily understandable. I know women that have been hit by a man and walked away from him the first time and didn't put themselves back into the situation. Its a toxic situation. Is very sad but if you love and respect yourself, you can leave. To be honest I don't think you have to "understand" to know that its hard when you love someone to leave. But everyone does know its stupid to stay. Love yourself first!

And to everyone else, Its not a race thing. You shouldn't make it that way. This happens to women of every color.

It takes abused women 17 or 18 tries before they actually leave the abusive relationship. Rihanna was probably fed some much b.s. about remorse and counselling and learning empathy and how Chris now "get's it"...the truth is he will attack again. Maybe it won't be her but it will be someone and Rihanna will be partially responsible because she could have stopped this by having charged and convicted. She would have been a great person to step up and speak for the women of domestic abuse but now she is still just a victim. I am sure many managers came in and told her that Chris will have no career etc...all adding to the guilt she probably already felt because she loves this guy. Anyway, this story isn't over yet. He is an abuser and sadly he is one that just got away with it, probably again as I am sure this is not the first time he has assaulted someone.

2:12 keep anything that is associated with Jessica Simpson out of this! She was NOT abused.

hey u guys seem to be quite gud in framing gud sent wid slang words ... can ne tel me how t fire dis boy how is really pevert.. like totally... sorry di is out od topic...do leave a comment...

Lost all respect for Rihanna. She could have come back stronger then ever. I guess she gets off on it. So very sad.

Done, over, go home with your abuser, have a bunch of kids with him so he has lots more victims. Then you will die from it. Sad.

I think both of their careers are over. rihanna never had any talent or beauty she's a broken record umbrella lella freak!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

All you people who can't spell need to go back to school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can say that its a bad move for her and that I have now lost respect for her. She may think that she needs to stay with him cause he's famous too and that she wont be able to trust someone else cause she's invested so much time into it. But Chris will bounce back richer and more famous than her in the long run and he'll walk away from her. Look at Brad and Jennifer. They were together for 8yrs and Brad just walked away with a high career and Jen picking up the pieces.

Rihanna needs to realise that she doesnt need Chris to be famous. She doesnt need to be walking around with him like she's the Handbag on his side. And he will say he's sorry but is he?

I hope she doesnt be the person that cried Wolf. Cause she is now crying wolf and not following up on it by giving Chris another chance so when it happens again, her Fans wont be there to listen about to it. People lost respect for Whitney Houston when she stayed with Bobby. For years Whitney career took a nose dive, she couldnt make any money, nobody wanted her because of her being in a relationship with bobby and doing drugs and thing. So is Rihanna want that same faith, she definitely will have it cause one day you're in the next day you can be out just like that.

you ppl acting like they're adults. they're just kids. why are we ready to through a 19 year old under the bus when he has the whole life ahead of him to redeem himself. we don't even allow a 19 year old to drink,yet we can't forgive a 19 year old.do you think he not going to have a next woman in his life? should he be punish for the rest of his life?

It's sad and unfortunate that Rhianna has taken Chris Brown back. She should move on. It DEFINITELY sends the wrong message. Her "people" should encourage her to do otherwise. Unfortunately, both have probably made enough money to live comfortably (not for the rest of their lives).
I will not support their music or acting careers.

As far as bloggers who think this is a black culture thing, it is not. Domestic abuse happens to women of all cultures. Don't be fooled because Rhianna's situation is being played out in the public. I notice the people who blog on this site like to make everything about race.

Why is that??

Maybe Rihanna should have been put under the same situation britney spears is in, someone to control her life cause it's apparent she can't control it herself, i've lost all respect and all liking for her and her music cause all the young women who watch and look up to her and see this happen and say it's okay for a man to beat you and be with him afterwards is WRONG. Her father is even dumber to support her so-called decision.

This is really sad. She is a role model with endorsement contracts. I pray young women don't consider this acceptable behaviour. She should move on and respect the opinions of those who love her (her family and friends) before it is too late. What is the next step from beating?!

This is all so ghetto that is all I have to say

Soon to be the next whitney houston.

What gives all of you the right to decide what is best for her
LACK OF EVIDENCE IS WHY THE POLICE ARE NOT PRESSING PHYSICAL ABUSE ESPECIALLY
WHEN THE BITCH IS WALKING AROUND WITH
OUT A SCRATCH ON HER. SHE IS THE ONE
THAT DID NOT PRESS CHARGES SHE IS THE
ONE THAT CAN BEAT THE SHIT OUT HER
BROTHERS BY THE WAY!! GET IT SHE CAN BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HER BROTHERS SO
HE WOULD END UP ON THE GROUND WITH HIS
HANDS OVER HIS CROTCH AND HAVE TO CHARGE
HER WITH ABUSE SHE KNOWS DAMN WELL HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF SO DON'T SAY ANTHING DIFFERENT. GROW UP

SHE CAN BEAT UP CHRIS BROWN REAL BAD SO
DON'T THINK THAT SHE IS A WIMP SO IT NOT

I guess She likes abuse. Guess she likes to get beat up. Wow, what a great role model! I won't be buying her cd's anymore!!!

She's an idiot. I don't contribute to idiot causes. So, no, I will not be buying her music anytime soon.

I agree. Yes she is an idiot! I will not buy her music anymore either!

please my dear two best friend don,t have any thing bad okay becouse may people love two of you so this my number +234-8954-514-247

Everyone needs to mind their own damn business their personal lives are personal and have nothing ot do wit their professional lives!!! This goes to show that we dont know the whole story and the media 1-sided judgement rule the guillible!

I thought Rhianna was an independet woman. Now she needs Chris Brown again. She is a person who has everything she can dream of. i have LOST TOTAL respect for her. How can she be with someone that laid a hand on her. She needs professional help with this problem. She might not be so lucky next time. We all saw the pictures of her face and for her to turn around and get back with him is stupied from her side. She can have any guy in the world and she is going back to some guy who hits her. It's sad! Rhianna i will never hear your music again. I am deleting you from my iPod. You are a DISGRACE to WOMAN all over the world!

can't you people see the truth now?
she didn't put charges 'cause obviously she was part of the assault, maybe well the first one to beat him.
not a great loss, any of them can't sing, she lipsynch it all and doesn't even write her songs....

2007: Rihanna told complex Magazine:
"I'm the oldest child with 2 brothers. We talk all the time now, but we used to fight - and when I say "fight", I don't mean arguments, I mean physically fight. I hit the older one in his face with a glass bottle"

Sooooooooo....

5:13 dont get britney spears involved britney spears is a strong woman and shouldnt be compared to someone who goes back to their boyfriend who beats the shit out of them rihanna you are one stupid girl and if you take him back you just deserve it your meant to be a role model but your not your a big let down just dont be complaining and looking for sympathy when it happens again

Well the way i see it Chris Brown did something really wrong and got kicked out from his endorsments and so should RiRi cos she is sending a bad message.If i was cover girl and the rest I would giver her the boot she shows that she is not a strong independat woman!

I think there is a lot more to the story than what we know. I not condemning any woman being beaten however we don't know the actual facts. We have heard stories from magazine that want to sell papers. It isn't fair that Chris was judged and convicted in the eye of people opnion before he any gets his day in court. I believe whatever happened; it is in their labels best interest for them to reconcile this matter. I just wish them both well and if they are back together; that they both seek consuling.

I made the same mistake Rihanna did at that age. I did not understand it was a dynamic and pattern of personality types. Chris brown is a master manipulator and a sociopath. Many people have not encountered how sociopaths can hypnotize you silently with their charisma, charm, they know just what to say to win you back. He wants to destroy her image and he will succeed, either by killing her or doing much more damage and ignorant people will say she caused it. She does not know what she is setting herself up for. I know, because I did this at her age and learned the hard way, but I now understand what type of man does this and all I can say is run and don't look back!

I am just waiting to hear the news that he has killed her. I feel so sad, she is forgiven here, she's just young and spellbound by a sociopath, if she comes out alive, hopefully she can teach other young women what the consequences are for staying with a sociopathic personality. A Sociopath is someone with charm, charisma, high intelligence, well-liked by the community, powerful,famous or a loser. But has a powerful ability to make people feel sorry for them and then boom! You are once again in his trap until - he's nice for a while, then you feel like you have to walk on eggshells before the next explosion. I have a bad feeling about Rihanna going back. It's so sad. She may end up like Nicole Brown-Simpson.

A Local Virginia native, Michelle Gasper, a 19 year old from Tappahannock, Virginia called her local radio station Saturday morning claiming that singer Chris Brown and herself had been in a relationship for over 2 years before he signed a record deal, and released his self-titled debut album in 2005. She claimed that the two first started dating in 2003, when they were both only 14 years old. Gasper claims that the two engaged in unprotected sex numerous times, and she had agreed with Brown to acquire in an abortion before later giving birth to her now 4 year old son, Deshante Gasper in July 2004. Gasper also claimed that her relationship with Brown had persisted well during the time he first signed a record deal with the label, Jive Records in late 2004, but his mother, Joyce Hopkins insisted that he ended the relationship with Gasper, having the fear of the public knowing of him being the father of a child, which she thought would tarnish his future music career.

Gasper cried hysterically over the Essex County radio station implying that she wanted Brown to be in their 4 year old son’s life. The radio DJ, Maurice Hendricks questioned the truthfulness of Gasper’s allegations asking her why she would choose to speak out so many years later. She then replied in saying that Brown’s mother, Joyce Hopkins had been sending her money for several years to help with her son, Deshante and to also remain silent about the situation. Gasper insisted that Brown needed to play a more fatherly role in their son’s life since he was getting older, and had begun to ask questions about his father’s existence. Gasper remained on air for about 15 minutes while Hendricks continued to try to keep her calm. So far, there has been no comment from Brown’s publicist concerning these allegations. Chris Brown first entered onto the music scene in late 2005 with his hit single, “Run It”. His debut album has gone on to sell over 2 million copies in the U.S. alone.

Please does she have any brains at all?When has a beater not beaten again?
He is a looser and she is as well, just see what happen to N. Simpson and to Whitney´s career, go ahead and follow the same path and watch your life and everything else dissapear.
Can someone please help her?

I'm a female and I know how female can be very dramatic and provoking I think Rhianna just exagerate everything if i was Chris Brown I wouldn't bother with her cause she ruin everything she crazy mein

poor child, she loves him more than she loves herself, no self-respect here. I´m so sorry for her :(

i will always be obessed wit chris.but if read all the articals, you will know that she started it, they were drunk,and there tempermenral.plus there love birds, will always be in love. and she threw the keys to a $3000 an hour car down the street? some things wrong with her

it aint our busisness,there personal life!
everyone makes mistakes ,i mean "t i" getting done on gun charges which in my opinion is a whole lot worse and you don't see him getting hounded like this !

She is finished!, the worst move she could do!, please banned her!, if you are a mom please don't let your kids get her CDs (also Chris's, any how he is going down without any doubt), she is such a bad example for our country, we need better role models, if you are a fan, think that you are much smarter than this girl, you deserve better idols, somebody you are proud to say I am her/his fan.
I am so disapointed

Because she's back with Brown, unfortunetaly for her, she might become a joke. Humorists will use this Rihanna/Chris Brown drama as inside jokes references in few years because Rihanna decided to be back with Brown. If Rihanna stood up for women, this whole story would still be taken seriously in the medias in the future. But it won't be the case and once again violence against women remains trivial.

I'm happy he beat her ass, she is an uppity whore with no morals.

He's obviously beaten all self respect and common sense out of her. From what I've seen of her in interviews she seemed like a nice, well-adjusted girl. I'm not particuarly a fan but I hope something clicks soon and she realises she deserves better. I find the whole thing very sad, he doesn't seem very remorseful to me. I don't think this will do her career any favours, his is down the toilet already and people will just consider her weak for taking him back. She's young and clearly not finished making mistakes in regards to this sleazeball. Here's to hoping the police do something positive like lock him up, even if she won't place charges on him or testify.

I think all of this is a waste of time, I have no respect for a person who allows themselves to be abused physically. Love is not that blind when you see the bruises "love" caused when u look in the mirror. I'm done with Chris Brown and since he chose to use the power of persuasion to get her back I'll use some of my own to get ppl to side with me. As long as you allow a person power over you they will continue to utilize it to their advantage. There is no excuse to do a person the way I suppose he did given the way she looked, there is absolutely no excuse and definitely no explanation for it. And for any rapper or artist (Kanye) who feels that he should be given a break, that leaves something to be said about them as well. But as always 'you reap what you sow' so things will work out just they way they're supposed to.

alright. i like them both, but he had no right what so ever to hurt her in any way. for her, she is stupid enough to get back with chris after what happend on that night. she is a very pretty and talented person, and is still young, she has her career to worry about then a relationship exscpecially after how she got treated by chris..

Rihanna is the most stupid girl i have ever known..

definitely she had lost my respect

Chris must have something that she cant live without that causes her to be that stupid..

F.Y.I Rihanna, Chris is not the only man in this world..

Would she forgive a friend if they did that to her? Probably not. Just because she's in a relationship with this kid, that doesn't make it okay. It's not even about setting an example for her fans. As a strong female, she should say "you know what? I don't deserve what he did to me and he doesn't deserve my love and respect."

first of all chris by no means is over will he lose fans yes but by no means his career is done..rihanna career isnt either..for the people who are sayig this i seriously doubt that they even both their cd before and even pay this much attention to them until this happen..chris is also a dancer songerwriter and actor he has three movie projects line up right now and one is set to release in 2010..he also has wrote songs for RIHANNA jonas brothers and many other singers so if he really didnt want to sing he still could write and there is way more money in that..he was tarish his image from a all american good boy that all people really need to work on themselves before trying to throw this boy under the bus

Its so easy to pass judgement on others. Do not judge until you have experienced this yourself. You all say such ignorant things, understand that Chris and Rhianna are real people and what ever decision either of them make who are we to judge. You people make me sick....always judging, put your life under a microscope and lets see how well you carry yourself.

Also Rihanna does have a tough decision to make, no woman deserves to be hit. NO WOMAN, regardless of the situation. I think this does effect peoples views of them, but thats because you jackasses seem to forget that celebs are people just like you and me. F**king weirdos! Goodness!
