I am NOT by any means a Chris Brown fan. Nor am I a Rihanna fan. I have never really liked Chris Brown's music until now. This incident has released a man. When he sings now it is from the heart. He is a performer and so is she. They both stand to gain from being interviewd on 20/20, a creditable show.

I believe that Chris is telling the truth about her hearing the song. She was, also, kinda hesitant when she was asked did she hear the song, That hesitence leads me to think that she lied. She heard the song either she did not expect for the interviewer to ask that question or if she did not have enough time to dilberated on what she would say and by the time she responded to the question it was to late to retract what she said.

I agree with one of the other comments made that she probably hit him first when she went through that phone and found that number she was furious! Rihanna, knew Chris' past and she was angry with him and that is probably why those pictures of her face got out the way that they did. In the interview she said that "It doesn't matter IF I did hit him, not saying that I did, that does not give him the right to beat me like that! " This leads me to think that she did hit him first.

I think that Chris is owning up to his part in this affair. He is protecting her by listening to his publicist and not saying anything negative about Rihanna and maintaining her as the victim. Because if he does contradict anything that she has said in the order of events it will only make him look like a coward and a woman beater.

I hope that Rihanna is seeking counseling she also needs to learn how to deal with this situation andpossible future ones like it.

NO, she did not ask to be beaten but she needs to own up to the part that she played in getting beat. This woman is from a culture that does not take crap like that and are quick tempered!

Rihanna needs to realize that just because she left Chris and she feels that she is this icon that might have saved one person's life by giving up her own happiness they could have resolved this privately. They should have sought out another way to reconcil this situation. However, they too young to settle down with just one another so it is probably best that they separate for now!

I predict that Chris and Rihanna will be back together in six years and they will probably make another single together. If Rihanna wanted to she could have stayed with Chris and worked things out they could have went into couples counseling. This would have been a great reality show.
