Chris Brown & Rihanna Drama: TGJ’s 2 Pence

Chris Brown & Rihanna Drama: TGJ's 2 Pence
The media has no doubt been whipped into a frenzy since details of the Chris Brown’s assault on Rihanna emerged on Grammy night, this past Sunday. As I’m sure many of you can vouch for, there continues to be rumor upon rumor as to what exactly went down – something I anticipate will come to light as the days and weeks roll on.
With that said, I kinda feel compelled to give my ‘2 Pence’ on the situation…
The fact that little in the way of concrete information has surfaced has me less concerned about the drama that went down in the car itself (after all, there’s 3 sides to every story: Chris’ side, Rihanna’s side, and the truth). Rather, I’m real interested to see what the implications are for both moving forward.
For all the PR spin Chris’ team are undoubtedly going to try and do, I can’t see him coming out from the situation unharmed career-wise. Since bursting onto the scene back in 2005 with ‘Run It’, Chris has been carefully ‘sold’ to us as being a squeaky-clean, teen idol – with his target audience being of the younger kind – something not even the release of the raunchy ‘Take You Down’ could alter…much. Hence, being tagged with the ‘woman beater’ label – whatever the reason behind his actions – almost certainly destroys the basis of what he’s been built on. And if the foundation is destroyed, everything else must crumble down with it. Indeed, already, Wrigley’s have suspended their endorsement deal with Brown, while mounting radio stations and music television stations have pulled Brown’s songs and videos from the airwaves due to increasing pressure from their audience. What’s more, with a court date to answer to now set for March 5th, even if the media circus settles, it’ll only be restarted when Brown goes before a judge. Put simply, this looks to be a situation that could very well tarnish the career of a very promising artist.
Meanwhile, I can really see Rihanna being the winner in the whole situation. I say this cautiously, as the details of what really went down could present a very different picture to what the masses currently think. Yet, the idea of any press being good press rings true here for Ms. Fenty IMO. For all her hits and paparazzi attention, this is hands-down the most press the ‘Disturbia’ singer has received – ever. More over, public sympathy – both from those who like her and those who don’t – seems to be at an all-time high for the ‘battered female’ star. I can almost guarantee that her next release will benefit hugely from this all. Hence, as bizzare as it may sound, this situation could in actuality be what solidifies the 20 year old’s place as a superstar.
That said, TGJ wants to know your thoughts on the Chris Brown / Rihanna situation…
Your thoughts on the incident?

Do you think Chris can comeback from this?

Do you think Rihanna’s career will soar?

    If there was physical abuse. It is safe to say no one is a winner in the situation.

    The picture that has been circulating has been reported as a fake. No one knows what really happen.. Only time will tell what really happen. Chris is wrong for putting his hands on her but no one has focused on what she may have done. I don’t think she is completely innocent in the situation…

  5. Kyle February 11, 2009

    Yeah, but regardless of what she did to provoke it, it’s not ok. It’s like when I hit my little brother when I was 6 because he was annoying me.. it doesn’t matter that he started it, I’m the one who took it too far. And that was a 6-year old push.

  6. T February 11, 2009

    I WANT TO HEAR S*** IN COURT, OTHER THAN THAT, I’M NOT MAKING FORMAL STATEMENTS ON IT!! R. KELLY P*** AND HAS S** AND MARRIES YOUNG GIRLS, PROBABLY BOYS TOO, DIDN’T JAMES BROWN DO THIS TOO, WHITE CELEBS DO IT TOO, SO IT’S NEVER OKAY BUT IT HAPPENS AND SHOULDN’T, LETS SEE LEGIT LEGAL ISH AND THEN TALK MORE ABOUT IT!

  7. Marko February 11, 2009

    Umm .. i dont think there will be winners in this situation.Umm i am not sure that this goes out in favor for Rihanna.I think that them both,who ruled the charts only a second ago,will be seen more in tabloids then charts from now on.Rihanna’s airplay decreased massively since the incident,she is within – 600 and stronger from last week,which is really a lot of airplay lost in a week only. Rihanna wont be bigger then what she was,from now on she will only have a mediocre success.She is not tabloid free anymore,and once u get in tabloids,you might become bigger star,but u become less seen as an artist and u don’t get airplay by default.

  8. Anonymous February 11, 2009

    I think people need to chill on this and wait until the real details emerge…

    everything that has been reported has been completely hearsay

    there are only two known facts in this situation Chris Brown got arrested for assault and Rihanna was the victim…

    The extent of the assault nor the circumstances surrounding it has come out officially and these so called “inside sources” are going to be jaded one way or another.

    lets wait to see what happens in court before making judgements on this one

  9. Anonymous February 11, 2009

    I dont really wanna make any accusations towards the situation until the exact details are released, but I think Chris can comeback from this,but he’ll have to come hard after this whole ordeal, much harder than he has been in the material from the music that’s been leaked from his new CD.

    My heart goes out to Rih Rih but good news is that as soon she as she recovers all she’ll have to do is release one sad heartbreak song to reclaim the hold of superstar status

    I DONT THINK ITS FAIR TO STOP PLAYING HIS SONGS AND HIS VIDEOS
    THE BOY WORKED HARD FOR THAT AND HE SHOULDNT BE JUDGE ON HIS TALENT
    HIS A GREAT ENTERTAINER
    PEOPLE SHOULD WAIT TO HEAR THE WHOLE SIDE OF THE STORY
    BESIDES DIDN’T YOU PEOPLE LEARN FROM TAKING OJ SIMPSON SIDE

    I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COUPLE FIGHTING
    AND A MAN OR WOMAN ABUSING EACH OTHER
    I THINK HE WAS DEFENDING HIMSELF
    AND FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS A ONE SIDED THING
    IS BEING IGNORANT
    WOMEN LIKE TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT AND DONT WANT TO DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES
    WELL MEN ARE JUST LIKE US THEY CAN REACT ALSO
    IF YOU WANT TO HIT
    YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES
    STILL THINK THEY SHOULD OF WALKED AWAY FROM EACH OTHER
    RIRI IS LOOKING LIKE A GOOD GIRL
    SO HER CAREER IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE
    IT’S FUNNY HOW EVERYONE IS RETALIATING
    BUT WHEN REAL PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH STRUGGLES WITH VIOLENCE AND ABUSE
    I DONT SEE THE MEDIA MAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT THAT
    WE ALL KNOW THAT ALL ANTI VIOLENCE GROUPS ARE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SITUATION
    AS FOR CHRIS BROWN HE WILL GET OVER THIS
    AND HE MAY HAVE LOST SOME ENDORSEMENT DEALS BUT IT’S NOT THE END FOR HIM
    HOPE HE LEARNS FROM THIS LESSON EITHER WAY
    AND NOT GO TO JAIL
    PEOPLE HAVE TO REMEMBER SOMETHING THIS IS A CASE
    THEY HAVE TO COLLECT ALL INFO BEFORE THEY SAY SOMETHING
    WHETHER HE DID IT OR NOT HIS REPUTATION IS DAMAGED BUT DEFINITELY NOT OVER

    everyone wants to know what really happened
    but i want to know that if riri agrees to cooperate with the cops
    would she be doing it for justice or just to get back at him
    just cause she’s a celebrity dont mean she cant be a mad woman
    some men and women would rather destroy each other then let each other go and that’s sad
    women know what to do and what to say to get men pissed off
    yes he should shouldnt hit woman
    but that’s just life
    i think that riri and her people are taking advantage of the situation
    it’s not like she is going to tell the whole truth
    just her side of the story and the same for chris
    no offense but if a chick gave me an s** i would wild out too

    FIRST THERE IS NO WINNER IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS THERE BOTH YOUNG AND PROBABLY IS HURT IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER CHRIS MAY CAN GET IS CAREER BACK BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A ONE SIDED STORY AND NO I DONT CONDONE HITTIN WOMENBUT I HAVE THIS FEEELIN THAT CHRIS DIDNT JUST SNAP AND HIT RIHANNA… THE FACT THAT RIHANNA IS BEING SO QUIET MAKES ME THINK SHE AS SKELTONS IN HER CLOSET THATSHE DONT WANT OUT BECASUE IF SHE DIDNT I BELIEVE SHE WOULD BE MAKIN CRIS LOOK VERY BAD… THE TRUTH AS YET TO COME OUT AND IF IT DONT THEN I THINK CHRIS CAREER MAY BE OVER AND I THINK ITS VERY UNFAIR FOR PEOPLE TO BE JUDGING HIM WHEN WE DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPEN AND IF UNTIL THERE IS CONCRETE EVIDENCE THAT SAY CHRIS JUST SNAPPED FOR DAMN REASON I WILL BE SUPPORTING CHRIS… HE’S A STRONG BOY THAT HAS GOOD PEOPLE BEHIND HIM AND GOD SO HELL MAKE IT OUT ON TOP.. AND I WISH RIRI THE BEST ALSO…THAT MY 2 CENTS

  14. Anonymous February 11, 2009

    The way I see it, it doesn’t even matter if Rihanna did anything to him anymore. We just know one sure thing: He harmed her in SOME kind of way (otherwise he wouldn’t have turned himself in). Yeah there’s more than one side to every story, but Chris is screwed either way.

  15. Anonymous February 11, 2009

    MY WHOLE THING ON THIS IS THAT IT’S NOT FAIR. AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS RIHANNA ISN’T TELLING THE WHOLE STORY. SHE IS JUST TELLING WHAT CHRIS, SHE ISN’T TELLING WHAT HAPPEND THAT PROVOKED HIM TO DO IT. (NOT SAYING HE WAS RIGHT AT ALL BY ANY MEANS) BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A CAUSE AND AN EFFECT TO EVERY SITUATION. I KNOW BECAUSE I’VE BEEN HERE. SO UNTIL I HEAR EVERYTHING I’M NOT GOING TO PASS JUDGEMENT ON CHRIS AT ALL OR CONDEHM HIM LIKE SO MANY PPL ARE ALREADY DOING. HE JUST DIDN’T OUT OF THIN AIR SAY I’M GONE HIT THIS B**** AND START WHEALING ON HER ASS. NO I DON’T BELIEVE THAT AT ALL. RIHANNA NEEDS TO COME CLEAN AND SO DOES CHRIS AND I WISH HE WOULD RELEASE SOMETHING. BUT EITHER WAY IT GOES THIS DOESN’T LOOK GOOD FOR NIETHER ONE OF THEM.

    Yall stupid people need to face the fact that CHRIS BROWN IS GOING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It’s already been reported that the REASON FOR THE FIGHT was becasue Rihanna found a text message in Chris’ phone while they were in the car about him HOOKING UP WITH ANOTHER GIRL later than night. Like any girlfriend would do, Rihanna got upset, but that B*TCH Chris Brown took his hidden rage out on that girl and beat the F out of her…SAD!!!

    I wish peoPle stop being so stupid and naive and IN DENIAL, YO BOY IS A PUNK!!! He is RUINED and I am SO HAPPY!!!

    let’s wait till both parties say something

  23. Miles Petty February 11, 2009

    How can someone make the comment that he was “defending himself”? Regardless of if she started the fight or not, we do know that he came out of it with pretty much no injuries while she was beat the s*** out of. No offense but if I had caught my lover cheating via text or whatever happened, I might slap the s*** out of them also or throw their keys out of the car. That does NOT warrant her being beat with fists, bit or hit with deadly objects. I agree that we definitely need to wait for all of the facts to emerge but there are some things that have been clear from the beginning. She (a woman) was beat down by a man who claimed to love her. Regardless of the details, that’s NOT okay.

  24. Jamie February 12, 2009

    Yeah chris is finished Rihanna is the new attention w**** yipee she was already 1st runner up after bey being the winner…great!

    I love chris and wish it hadnt go down but there is hope for him idk how he will do it but he’ll comeback! In meantime I hope other artist like Ciara and a few new aritst and older artist Mary Alicia Mariah help make an impact before the return of Rihanna so it wont be as great. I think she is overrated way more then Beyonce at least Beyonce does hold extreme talent.

  25. Tam February 12, 2009

    WHYYYYY did Ciara turn him down numerous of times when he wanted her… he wouldnt be in this situation today……………..plus I think Rihanna was mad jealous of their friendship. OF course the Jumpoffs played a role…. I know Chris will comeback may not be soon cus no other artist have what he have at the moment and I hope Ciara Beyonce and Mariah can STRONG and HEAVY for the next year so when Rihanna returns she wouldnt even be relevant!

  26. justin February 12, 2009

    I agree in order for Rihanna not to soar cus GOD she is so annoying im going to need Jennifer Ciara Bey(well she is about down with the album) and Mariah( hope new album drop soon) Can get the game on lock and GAGA! So Rihanna wont milk this like she milked GGGB when no heavy hitters were out at the time.

    Chris will be forgiven hell I forgive him already. He’ll be back!
    lol someone said she shoulda been listening to Ciara- Never Ever for advice!

    Chris was a time bomb it doesn’t matter who the girl was he would have beat the s*** out of them. the boy even get violent with his mother break plates in hotel rooms that security have to show up. What he needs is to see a shrink he has lots of frustration built up from his parents separation. Only rihanna can save his ass. The funny think is I wouldn’t be surprise if they get back together.

  28. Anonymous February 12, 2009

    ok after reading the various articles and what people have been saying i still think chris can come back..i feel he is really a good kid who just pushed to the edge..i believe if this goes to court,riri image is going to be aslo tarnished coz feel a lot of details are going to come out about her more than chris..either way this is bad for both of them..also if he is the girlfriend beater that they claim he is y are they still looking for more evidence.. what is it that they cannot find to charge him??? the truth will come out and none of them are going to benefit..

  29. Chris February 12, 2009

    How great wouldn’t it be if Mariah came back and showed everyone how it should be?! MC ur always the no. 1 queen!!!
    I don’t like Rihanna, but she gets the best song out there… So maybe someone should show her???

    i’ve never been a real fan of rihanna, having the usual tendency from being indifferent towards her to not liking her at all. though amidst the disliking, i’ve never really hated her severely. i like her songs, but i didn’t think she was on the level of certain other singers. but the posts that thegrapejuice has been posting about her are so darn biased that it got me thinking.

    i’ve realized that though the material she produces doesn’t allow for her to go two-three octaves like beyonce (whom i dearly adore) and christina (i’m not saying that rihanna is bad), but she does put in a lot of effort and passion into her music. i don’t thank she’s the type who just put out catchy songs that would score well with the people just so she can make millions.
    there’s a reason why her songs are well liked, and controversy or none, i believe that she’ll achieve success, because just lkie any other artist, she puts in her heart into what she’s doing.

    it’s painful to read the adjectives or descriptions that are being used (in this site) to describe her. hopefully this changes and one “GIVES CREDIT WHEN IT’S DUE”

    ring a bell?

  33. mims February 12, 2009

    sorry for the somewhat off-course comment^^, i totally forgot to elaborate further on the topic.

    i honestly don’t know who’s at fault (no one does, really) so i just have to say that we’ll all have to wait and see. chris b’s career may not necessarily be totally jeopardized. like the music industry has proved itself, really anything can happen. i hope for the best, which fir now is still unclear.

    chris brown hit rihanna, rihanna was bruised, chris brown is a woman beater, its the just the way it is, nothings come out about rihanna hitting him, and they are not rumours they are FACTS. i still like chris browns music and i don’t think it should be stopped but i hope he gets done for this, it might just send a message to people who are domestically abusin their girlfriends or wives, that it is wrong, and maybe stop a few innocent lives from being taken.

  36. Anonymous February 12, 2009

    until we know the full story I dont think anyone is able to comment.
    At the end of the day the boy is human if it was the way around would we all sit here and laugh at the brusies on chris browns face coz he was hit by rihanna..probably yes!!
    Im not justifyin what he done but just remember he is a normal 19 year old boy who is having problems in his relationship just like the next guy is..its easy to poinbt the finger at him coz of the bruises on her face but whats underneath it all?? and why did she push him to that limit??
    i think everyone shud look at both sides before quick to judge him..

    Hot Dammit, you hit it on the nail. I feel sorry for Chris Brown, I really do but my heart goes out more to Rihanna. I don’t think they should have ever hooked up in the first place but whatever. I feel that regardless of whether or not Rihanna was the aggressor in this case, Chris Brown should have had enough sense to realize that he wasn’t fighting another man his height and frame. That is what’s most upsetting to me. I know this country can be unfair to men when it comes to domestic violence but when you do damage to someone whose physical strength may not match yours (ie a woman) then I feel you should be held accountable. If everything went down the way people said it, at what point should he have stopped. I say when he threw the first blow. But people are going to argue that no, he’s human, and he was angry and went into a blind rage and because (if she did) she started and deserved what he got. It’s going to take a miracle for Chris to come out of this one. It’s not like the other celebs in the game who are being busted for drugs, drink driving, or buying guns. And then to a fellow star just as huge as he is. They’re not going to let this one go. I do hope that he can reclaim his success in the future because he is has great talent and I really do like him. As for Rihanna, I hope she just chills out and leave these industry figures alone for a while. Just focus on your career boo.

    Rihanna getting beat up doesn’t make me like or dislike her more than i already do. Its a very unfortunate situation for both of them. However, how in the world can radio outlets justify shelving chris’s music, while the airplay of all things R.Kelly run rampant? Last time I checked, you are guilty until proven innocent in a court of law but the court of public opinion is eating Chris Brown alive.

  41. REALTALK989 February 12, 2009

    I personally feel this is the worst situation I’ve ever heard about in the last couple of years.I like Chris Brown N I sort of like Rihanna,But this looks pretty bad.All the evidence put out points to Chris as the culprit and Rihanna as the victim.It is a shame it had to be him though since his career was just starting to blow up.
    I blame Chris for this sitaution mainly bcuz in tha heat of the moment he could not keep his composure,and no matter what good of a lawyer he got,i feel he will face jail time.Though I blame Chrs I also blame his mother 4 this outcome. From what i’ve heard in tha news CHris’s step dad abused his mother and Chris had to experience a lot of those unpleasant things.In a situation like that it is never right for anyones child 2 experience things of that nature and not receive any kind of psychological counseling.As soon as chris was making money his mother should have used some of that cash to get Chris help.Clearly he has anger issues and it’s a shame it had to come to this.Maybe if got counseling earlier this situation maybe would’t have escalated the way it did.
    As far as Chris Brown’s career goes it looks like he’s taking the Tevin Campbell route. Unfortunately 4 chris his fanbase is largely girls so him writing songs bout lovin chicks probably won’t go 2 well with his “WOMAN BEATER” image.what i give him credit 4 though is the fact that he has made alot of friends in tha music industry that will support him if he tries 2 turn things around.These are some things i think he should do:1)He has 2 write a song about his experiences as a child and how it infuences his action towards rihanna.And he htas 2 apologize 2 her and the fans.It wurked 4 Akon(Akon-Sorry Blame It On Me)so he might as well try.2)He has 2 join a foundation that is against abuse of woman and he has 2 be heavily active in it. By that i mean talking 2 kids n all that.3)unfortunately lastly, he has 2 put his new album on hold. Right now people will not play his music at all bcuz of his “woman beater” tag so he has 2 take a new approach and write some songs about real life situations instead of his usual songs he’s been puttin out.4)he has 2 stop dating chicks til he’s real serious.we already have examples of people who let girls get 2 them and it costs them.(Bow Wow and Ciara,Usher and Chili).
    unfortunately 4 chris things look real bad 4 him. I am pretty certain he will face more jail time than T.I.so he is in trouble.Unfortunatly rihanna has all the support now not only as regards the situation but also her career and her music.this gives her enough publicity 2 solidify her career.All in all I wish both of them the best and Hopefully thinggs get better cuz if chris ends up leaving the music industry RnB 4 the guyz looks dead.

    THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL YOU PPL THAT ARE SAYING CHRIS IS WRONG AND HE DESERVES WHATEVER HE GETS. WOULD SAY THE SAME THING IF RIHANNA HAD BEAT HIS ***. YEAH I SEE Y’ALL TYPING SAYING Y’ALL DON’T CONDONE HITTING FROM A MAN OR A WOMAN BUT IN ACTUALITY WOULD YOU BE THIS WAY IF RIHANNA HAD WHOOPED ON CHRIS……HELL TO NAW!!!!! AND THAT’S REAL TALK. CHRIS WOULD BE THE LAUGHING STALK OF THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY AND THE WORLD. I COULD JUST HEAR THE RAIDO STATIONS “MAN CHRIS GOT HIS *** WHOOPED BY RIHANNA. HAHAHAHAHAHA”

    WOULD RIHANNA LOSE ENDORSEMENT DEALS? NO
    WOULD RIHANNA GET HER MUSIC TAKEN OFF THE AIR? NO
    WOULD RIHANNA LOSE FANS? HELL NO

    SO IT JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW OUR WORLD HAS THESE DOUBLE STANDARDS. WOMEN ALWAYS WNAT EQUALITY BUT WE PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH ONES WE WANT AND THAT IN ITSELF ISN’T RIGHT.

    EITHER WAY I WANT TO SEE THIS THING PLAY ITSELF OUT BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL AND SOMEBODY WON’T COME UP SMELLING LIKE ROSES.

    AND I ALSO AGREE WITH THE PERSON THAT SAID IF ALL THIS IS TRUE WHY HAVEN’T PICTURES SURFACED OF RIHANNA AND THESE BRUISES. IF I HAD OF GOTTEN BEATEN I WOULD WANT PPL TO SEE WHAT THIS PERSON DID TO ME AND SHOW PPL NOT TO BE ASHAMED AND COME FORWARD IF THEY HAVE BEEN ABUSED.

    Like you said… no one really knows the truth.

    I think they got into a fight… Rihanna looks like the type of girl to pick fight and be abusive. I was reading a quote by Neyo ” I don’t know if their together, they should because they argue and fight like they are”

    This situation may have been boiling for a long time now.

    It’s always going to look bad on the dude’s part. I really think it was a lovers fight like many of us get into… remember both of them are young as hell and don’t know how to work things out i guess.

    Rihanna will def get people to right music for her and ppl will buy it because they sympathize with her, i hope she is being truthful. The best thing to do is to come out with a press conference or interview letting people know that they were fighting and she is not going to press charges.

    It’s not okay to hit a woman at all! Women take for granted and hit men and expect them to turn away … not many men are like that. I wont hit a women but I see how some men get upset and in some cases hit back because the women is out of control.

    Rihanna is a Pisces West Indian girl with and attitude.
    My family is from the WI’s…. My step mother is Pisces WI women and she can go on and On and on, she will argue with you hit you and take you to the point of no return.

    I’m not trying to say this was Rihanna actions but I wouldn’t be surprised!

    I hope they both over come this!

    Chris Brown did not break Rihanna’s nose, to the one determined to sensationalize the situation, even her grandmother confirmed that. The photo of her with a busted lip, and scratches on her neck are rumored to be fake also. It’s horrible all the way around, BUT I do not think Rihanna is without fault in the situation, and I’ll reserve my judgement until the court hearing. Until then I will contine to rock Chris Brown’s music and not play Rihanna’s simply because I have never cared for her as an artist.

    It is sad that people want to literally hang Chris, and yet the same celebrities condemning him have collaborations with Jay-Z (the former drug dealer), R Kelly (the statutory r*****), Allen Iverson (domestic volience case also), Kobe Bryant (cheater/accused r***** (settled out of court by the way)…and the list goes on and on. Yet this KID makes ONE mistake and must of you want to kill him. I hope everyone holds you to the same standard of justice when you make a mistake…of any kind.

    if the beatings were ongoing and Rihanna did and said nothing though out the relationship, then I think she is a POOR role model for women and her success should reflect that. CB had no right to hit her but it could very well be in self defense. Why are we all taking Rihanna’s side when we don’t know what transpired?

    I do not know who was responsible for what actions but I am assuming from the various stories that have come about, they were not in a very healthy relationship. Both of them in some way at fault. This does not excuse the fact that no guy should ever hit a female but in the same respect a female shouldn't be aggressively hitting a male.

    I'm hoping that Chris Brown didn't physically harm Rihanna but I wasn't there and don't know the real story. What I do know is that there are many holes in stories from both perspectives & the all seem a little sketchy. Only time will tell.

    It's unfortunate though because in the end they both are going to be hurt in some way. Whether it be professionally or emotionally it's going to change them. Regardless of what kind of a relationship it may have been, it was a relationship and no matter how much we deny it we all know that any type of relationship has those moments you never forget.

    @ 9:06 AM – We’re taking Rihanna’s side in this because SHE IS THE ONE WITH ALL THE PHYSICAL INJURIES and SHE’S A WOMAN and HE’S A MAN, that’s why!

    You know, some of you are some f***** WACKJOBS who deserve to get they asses beat just to see how it feels, taking sides with the man who beat up his girl in this situation. But I do take comfort in knowing that MOST of us (the RATIONAL of us) are taking the side of the woman, and denouncing Chris Brown pu*** ass as the woman abuser that he really is.

    chris brown beat up rihanna with an UMBRELLA; left her with NO AIR because she was UNFAITHFUL; the cops came now lets see if he can RUN IT!!
    —————————— —-
    lol;idk about the whole unfaithful thing thoughhhh, to be real I think it’s really sad what went down poor rihanna she didn’t deserve to get beaten up even, if she did cheat and give chris brown h*****. Chris brown definitely f*cked up big time! Chris brown was at the height of his career and now it’s possibly all over. Guess he just snapped, but that still doesn’t give his ass the right to put his hands on a woman.

    TWO SIDES TWO EVERY STORY, JUST BCOZ RIRI IS A WOMAN SHE IS PLAYED AS THE VICTIM, THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT

    WHY SHOULD HIS CAREER GO DOWN BCOZ OF HER, OVERATED AND NOT AS TALENTED AS CHRIS BROWN

    CHRIS MAY LOSE SOME FANS BUT HIS LOYAL FANS WILL BE WITH HIM FOREVER AND KNOW I AM NOT FOR DOMESTIC VILOENCE, HOWEVER THE MEDIA POINTING THE FINGER AT HIM AND BEING CREUL BY MAKING UP RUMOURS NON STOP, I THINK THAT’S DIGUSTING!

    i don’t think it’s fair for radio and tv to stop playin his music at all. i thought he was innocent until proven guilty. he’s had the nba performance taken away, 2 major endorsement deals, and the music industry is shying away from him, ALL before the whole story is told. I don’t condone an abusive relationship if he just battered her for no reason. however i am a firm believer that if women keep raising their hands and striking men, it’s only a matter of time before he gets fed up and retaliates. and it seems like that’s what happened so far. i don’t think she’ll press charges. i just think she just wants all the sympathy from the industry and all the publicity. think about it. every magazine and talk show host is going to want to sit down with her. She’s going to get a lot of people that buy her next album, just to see if she has songs talkin about the inside of their relationship. meanwhile, chris’s name will be dragged thru the mud and his career will suffer. i personally think that she did this on purpose because she knew he was trying to leave her. Have you ever seen “A thin line between love and hate”? think about it: she smacked him after finding out about the text. does this sound like a woman that has been in an abusive relationship? she should have been scared shitless. she threw the keys out the window. y p*** off a man that abuses you? then after the altercation, chris got in the security teams suv, but she’s still hollerin that she wants to speak to him and if he doesn’t come out the truck, she’ll file a report. but yet, in the report she claims she passed out when he was chokin her. if he was chokin her and she passed out, why would he bite her in several locations and hit her multiple times if she’s unconscious? who beats someone that may be dead? wouldn’t he have been scared at that moment that he killed her? her story just seems like lies because she doesn’t want to taint her own name.

    I believe that his career isn’t over. He’s too talented to just end up by the wayside. I don’t think it’s fair that the tv shows and radio shows have stopped playing his music. That to me is people putting their personal feelings in the way of their job. True, his career has suffered so far, but he hasn’t been indicted on any charges cuz they don’t have enough evidence. If they did, the DA wouldn’t have asked for more time. Second, people are saying the people that approve of his behavior are young and naïve. I’m 27 yrs old and my mother is 53. We both agree that under certain circumstances, he was warranted to hit her back. Now as far as him going to the extreme like that, some women need to realize that men are stronger and can do more physical harm. A lot of women hit men and expect none of them to hit back. Women have to realize not all men were raised under the same belief that under no circumstance do you hit a woman. Some men were raised that if she hits you, you hit her ass back. And some usually don’t hit a woman, but can only take so much before they retaliate. I remember when my parents fought. My father would get drunk and initiate it, but my mother always tore that ass up. When the police arrived, they’d just laugh at my father. He would try to get them to arrest my mother and they just laughed so hard in his face. In this society, it’s okay for a woman to beat a man and she’s not punished at all. Then when a man finally hits them back, society is ready to castrate him. Yet women are always hollering about equal rights. It said in the damn police report that she wrote, that Rihanna did strike him first AND threw the damn keys out the window at 2 in the morning. She was asking for it. She’s very immature so don’t sit there and act like he just went 730 on her ass for no reason. I think Rihanna is going to eat this publicity up. She’ll lose a lot of fans: the ones that really are die-hard CB fans, and a lot of people that don’t agree with the true story if it turns out that she was just as much to blame as he.

    I believe that Chris Brown deserved what he has coming to him!! This is the way that I see things: If I woman was hitting me, just because of the type of man that I am, I would not hit her back!! I would call the cops so they can see how crazy she is!! But I mean no one knows what really happen!! I mean you guys don’t realize that we are living in different times!! I mean look at Tina Tanner, she is a amazing star!! I think that Rihanna is going to come back really hard!! I think this may change her image in ways that nobody could every imaging!! I don’t think she is going to lose fans or nothing!! Actual I think she is going to get more fans by there!! I mean regardless of if she loses fans!! She will still have more fans then chris Brown by far!! Rihanna is a world family house hold name!!! Rihanna is the shyt!! I mean don’t get me wrong!! Chris brown is teh shyt as well but he shouldn’t have never done this dumb ass move and it is not all his fault!! I mean yeah Rihanna throw his kiys out the window!! Big deal!! Who doesn’t do that with there lover!! My girl has shyt!! But this is the point that I am trying to make!! Rihanna has not said a word about what is going on!! I feel that people should give them both and break!! that is the way I see it!! I am going to pray for Both of them. Cause they both or talented and amazing!!
