I am a victim of DV and I still prefer not to jump to conclusions until I have heard all of the facts. I do not wish anything bad on Rihanna or Chris Brown. My prayers go out to both.

@Elle and RSS
I think it is great that you both are explaining the true problems for people in abusive relationships. The abuser can be male or female and from any background you can think of. I am not a Rihanna fan, but I say good on her for having the courage to report it. Hundreds of cases of domestic violence go un-reported everyday because of the fear of retaliation. If anything can be learned from this incident is that victims of abuse need to speak out against domestic violence.

I hope she is well and that people can learn that no matter who you are (or who you think you are) you are not above the law, and domestic violence is unacceptable.

Thank you, Elle, for your response on here. People’s lack of understanding of DV frightens me.
1. There are rarely “witnesses” of domestic violence.
2. Abusers are, to the outside world, charming and kind. It’s after they’re involved with you that their true side comes out.
3. The probability of an abuser “rehabilitating” is SLIM. Yeah, he might have turned himself in, but I guarantee that this will not be the last time he does this.
4. It can take a long dang time for a DV victim to actually ever press charges. Sadly, it’s usually not the first they’ve been attached by that person that they love. It takes a LOT of guts.
5. Abusers often come from an abusive background.
6. Just because they’re cute and seem happy, doesn’t mean they had a healthy relationship.
This is extremely sad, and I wish the best for Rihanna

So horrible. Whether the victim was Rihanna or another woman, this truly is a terrible situation. I don’t listen to Chris Brown but he always appeared to a really sweet, talented young man. Never expected something like this to happen from him. So sad.

@J&J
I understand what you are trying to say, but that excuse turns the female victim in this case (Rihanna) into a possible liar. His word against hers and why should his word be more valid.

If a woman is being abused in her own home by her husband or boyfriend and she finally goes to the police, should she have to have a witness to the abuse? Someone who SAW him hit her?

Domestic abuse is a serious accusation and a serious issue in this and many other countries. I would HOPE that people wouldn’t take Chris Brown’s side simply because they love his music.

It’s really very frightening when you think about it, if it is true. You look at them and they are this squeaky clean cute couple and he seems like such a great guy and it turns out he’s an a-hole. That’s the thing about loving or looking up to celebrities, when you find out that behind closed doors they are actually people with as many flaws as us or more its like…..having a puppy die or something.

At the 10am (eastern) hour of the Today show, Billy Bush was confirming it WAS Rihanna as the “unidentified woman” and that was due to legalities involving domestic violence assaults. Poor woman………they also talked about Chris growing up with an abusive step father and he would watch him beat his mom………sometimes you grow up and become what you fear……

I hope that whomever he hurt is alright. That the two of them would watch the amazing Whitney Houston one night and then possibly be involved in this the next night…the sad irony is not lost on me.

Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit,
Chris Brown= CAREER OVER.
TMZ is reporting that Rihanna IS the victim of the assault WITH a deadly weapon, as to what that weapon is, no one knows yet.
Damn, imagine that everything he worked for now its about to be gone in a second, THINK before your actions people! I really feel sorry for having to go through all of this scandal.

Chris Brown was not “brave” by turning himself in. He fled the scene and returned with his lawyer….
The worst part however is that Rihanna’s Rep said that she didn’t attend the Grammys because she was in a smaller car accident. If a woman is being assaulted she should not make up excuses and protect the man who hit her. That is definitely the wrong sign to send out to the public.
I just hope that Chris Brown doesn’t get away with this just because he is a celebrity and has money.

Yawn. The Grammy’s are still on? I haven’t watched since 1998. Ugh…

Well I don’t like either one of them, their music anyway. Not my style. Having been in a situation like that as countless numbers of women are, I don’t care what the circumstances were. Violence is NEVER acceptable. Even though I don’t like her, I feel for her. It is NOT a fun situation to be in.

to everyone that is saying this is going to “ruin his career,” etc., you’re all right. i forgot that there’s NEVER been a celebrity facing felony aggravated assault charges or dui or possession of a controlled substance that has gone to jail and later salvaged their career.

oh, and there is NO PROFILE for a woman beater. I’ve known a fraternity president, a heralded college football player, and was personally attacked by a well-respected member of the NAVY while i was at work one night.

y’all are so melodramatic.

Side note: TMZ has posted a picture of Chris and Rihanna in his car 30 minutes before the call to the police came in.
I think it’s pretty safe to say that Rihanna was the “assulted female”.
But I agree J&J- We don’t know for sure what really went down. But we do know a female was assulted- Police reports don’t lie.

I’m confused. Is there an eye witness that actually saw Chris Brown hit anyone? What happend to innocent until proven guilty? Just because someone is charged with a crime doesn’t always mean they commited that crime. Especially if that person was not caught in the middle of the act. Have we never heard of people making up things to the police in heated moments. And, the police are not always 100% acurate in every situation. I think we should wait and see what actually comes out, before we make judgments on people we don’t know!!

@Sean- $50,000 is the normal bail price for the type of crime committed. They don’t make the price higher just because he has the money. But you’re right- I’m sure he just threw that money down without a problem.

@Lyn- your comment is disgusting.

@Dew- A felony charge is not a planned publicity stunt. It’s a serious offense that stays on your record. They are famous enough to not need crimes to boost their popularity.

50000 dollars? that will be a small amount of money for him!

I think that he realized that what he did was wrong. He took the first step by turning himself in instead of hiding out or fleeing the country. Like a lot of other people have said, we need to wait for more facts. A lot of people are going to be speculating, and we just need to wait for a rep. of Brown’s to give us something concrete.

pfft! I’m not surprised if this is just another expensive publicity stunt…. either that or rihanna’s/chris’s looking for a reason to break off…

JoZee, just because a couple looks content, acts a certain way in public (IN FRONT OF THE PAPS), and are constantly seen together does not mean they don’t have a multitude of problems.
Often times, the couples that put on the best fronts for the outside world are the ones with the biggest problems, no matter if they’re celebrity or not.

Forget which news/talk show I watched this morning, but it was said that Chris Brown’s father(step?) used to beat his mother, and that he was scared of him. Clearly he turned himself in not just because of the very negative publicity of the matter, but also because he probably scared himself because he’d become what he always feared.

I’m curious as to what led down to cause a content looking couple to suddenly be at blows with one another. Because i find it hard to believe that what “Rach” said about the radio saying it was cause Rihanna gave him an STD… The way they are with each other I find that completely hard to believe, even more so when the paps follow them every where and they are rarely seen without each other.

To say black males beat thier women is so narrow minded, maybe they do but so do white men, as do other ethnicities. It is an issue that has no racial boundaries. And to say someone looks like a wife beater is also pretty pathetic…tell me exactly what an abuser looks like? Believe me they come from all backgrounds, and the nicest most innocent looking men can sometimes be the devil behind closed doors!
