Chris Brown Jet Skis His Cares Away In Miami, FL
Earlier today we learned that Rihanna has reunited with her alleged attacker and boyfriend Chris Brown just weeks after she was reportedly assaulted by him in the early hours of February 8. According to this new report, the pair were spending some time together at one of P. Diddy’s Miami, FL homes on some sort of holiday … which is evident by these new photos of Chris Brown enjoying himself on one of Diddy’s jet skis just a few days ago:
Chris Brown had a blast on a jet ski Thursday in Miami, where he’s spending time with Rihanna — the woman he allegedly beat just weeks earlier. Chris — who looks like he’s recreating the wind up leading to the punch that left Rihanna bloodied and bruised — doesn’t seem to have a care in the world. And here’s an interesting tidbit — Rihanna is being shadowed by one of Jay Z’s beefy bodyguards.
Wow. Just … wow. I guess the “drama” is really pretty much settled between Rihanna and Chris — at least on their own personal level. While I think that the LA prosecutor’s office may still seek to charge Chris Brown with an assault charge (or more), I don’t think their case is helped at all by this latest development between Rihanna and Chris. I can even imagine a scenario where this whole ugly matter just goes away in a legal sense. I’m really at a loss, honestly. Do y’all think that this story can get any odder/sadder/worse?

Not surprised.

Yikes. This can’t be an early April Fool’s Day joke?! Awful news to hear….but it’s RiRi’s life. I hate to say it….”battered/abusive” woman syndrome.
February 28th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
we all knew they would get back together. not surprising at all
February 28th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
JohnnyFilm — not cool to compare black dudes to monkeys, dude. Even if he is a asshole womanbeater.
February 28th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Chris Brown was an entertaining trained capuchin until he got infected with rabies.
The authorities need to put him down.
February 28th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
This is just so wrong. It’s her life, of course, and her choice, but how can she go back to someone who not only abused her, but do so when the entire public has been witness to this sad situation? She should leave him for herself, but she should also leave him for all her young female fans who are going to look at this and think “oh, love conquers all, I can stay with someone who beats me as long as we love each other.” So, so sad. Chris Brown has no shame and Rihanna, sad to say, may have no dignity.
February 28th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Rihanna is a pathetic role model for young women.
February 28th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
Ugh.
February 28th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
publicity stunt?
February 28th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Interesting about the Jay-Z bodyguard.
February 28th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
It just going to show how stupid these two are.
February 28th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
This happens all the time, it doesn’t mean the woman is stupid, pathetic, etc., and it certainly does not mean this was all a publicity stunt. The abused person in a relationship is made to feel they can’t do any better. Sometimes being beaten until you’re bruised and bloodied isn’t enough of a wake-up call. Hopefully she will realise she needs to get out for good, before it’s too late. But just because she hasn’t yet doesn’t mean she’s stupid or pathetic.
February 28th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I was all for rhianna when all this happened, but if they really are back together then screw them both. I wont ever support either of them again.
February 28th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Yes, it’s quite sad but it’s her choice, really. I agree with Traci on this one. I just hope that they recognize that there’s a problem and get some kind of counseling to work it out, if they feel their relationship is really worth it.
February 28th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
So sad. Really, it is. But what can you do? This kind of stuff happens all the time. I just hope that the public shame is enough for him to get his sh**t together and NEVER do this again.
February 28th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Totally unbelievable!!
February 28th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Wow. What a shame..I hope she doesn’t soon regret her decision.
February 28th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
This happens in abusive relationships all of the time which is why some people get so frustrated with the abused partner they eventually start blaming them. It probably didn’t help her stay strong hearing people say she deserved it or that Chris just made a mistake. There’s a lot of people depending on the financial support of these two and they more than likely spent the last three weeks putting pressure on Rhianna to step back.
February 28th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
@p — I don’t know that “not supporting” them, or her, is the right tactic. It’s easy to let one’s personal anger transfer to someone else … like saying, ‘I’m mad Rihanna is letting Chris back in her life, therefore I’m going to punish Rihanna’. I don’t think that’s the right way to go. I am not happy that she is letting him in her life again but I’m not going to punish her for it. She seems willing to do all the self-punishment herself.
February 28th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
@ Traci and Tanya: A boyfriend once slapped my face and grabbed me by the throat. I moved out the next day. I haven’t seen him since.
Rihanna is pathetic.
February 28th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
So sad and shocked to hear this news. Heartbreaking, I was hoping that she would make some good of the situation to stand up for battered women. :(
February 28th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Can any one say ‘Ike and Tina’? They totally deserve each other. Him for being less of a man for beating a woman and her for being stupid enough to stick around. Disgusting.
February 28th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
what do ya’ll know. here you are giving your two cents about a situation you have no idea about. I’m not at all condoning the actions that Chris Brown to in reaction to whatever is was, or wasn’t. But guys, if they can work things out and move on and if Chris is really taking the steps to change, give them a chance! I was in an abusive relationship and three years later have never heard a word of sorry or seen one iota of effort to change. If there were any of that, anywhere near as quick as Chris Brown committed himself to it, then there would have been a chance for me to understand and forgive. Rihanna’s been given that chance, to at the very least make sense of it all and forgive him. If she still loves him, of course she is going to try to make it work. Stop hating on them and calling them pathetic, they’re human beings that have the same dramas, trials and tribulations as normal people.
February 28th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
@ It’s Trent, Bitch! – Yeh i do understand what you mean, it just angers me because ive had family in similar situations and it upsets me that they allow these people that have hurt them back in their lives. I have always looked up to Rihanna and thought she was a lot stronger than that, but yes its to easy to judge especially since we dont know exactly what went on that night and we never will. And again your right i guess she is punishing herself. I just hope to god he doesn’t ever do it again. And i do hope he gets punished for this time.
February 28th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
The only glimmer of good new is the bit about the JayZ bodyguard watching out for Rihanna. I hope that guard is around for a long, long time because you know it’s just a matter of time before the cycle of abuse begins again.
February 28th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
It’s a little disheartening to read the comments calling Rhianna “pathetic” and “stupid”. I’m not a fan of either of them (not the sort of music I’m into), but I think the whole situation is very sad. It’s hard to describe how it feels when someone you truly love does something like this. They don’t suddenly become another person, your love doesn’t instantly drop away. If only it was that easy! There are tears, apologies, pleads – it’s hard to stay strong in the face of that. If it doesn’t happen again, then great. If it does, I hope she eventually finds the courage to break away. And, related to your earlier post, Trent: although I forgave my partner the first two times he did it (we were overseas at the time), when we got back home and my father found out, it was OVER. He would have killed the guy if he could have, and his horrified reaction is what really woke me up to what was happening. So I agree, her father’s response is a bit strange.
February 28th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
i’d just like to point out that noone really knows what happened between these two in the first place since no real details have been released. So people should stop making these indignant comments.
If her father supports this, there must be more to the story not being released
February 28th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
I think her fathers comment upsets me more than anything to be honest.
February 28th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Typical. So what if its HER choice. Its still a stupid choice. She’s a typical woman, addicted to douchebags and abusive relationships. This is one incident that went public. If this the first incident of abuse then Chris Brown became more attractive to her. Just another example of how most women have no idea what they want.
February 28th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
I just don’t get it.
Regardless of the facts, the end outcome is that he hit her. Which is obvious. Not even just hit her, looks more like a beating.
The thing is, not only is Chris Brown a jerk, but Rhianna has really come down in my eyes a lot due to this. I just can’t support her in being with him and continuing on in this relationship. She is in the limelight and it’s a price you pay for being famous. I wouldn’t want my daughter growing up thinking it’s OK to be abused. Nor do I want my son to grow up thinking it’s OK to abuse.
February 28th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
* For all you people judging her, it’s called Battered Women Syndrome. Look it up. Sadly, it’s just not that easy for women to leave their abusers.
* For the people saying we don’t know the whole story… did you see the pictures of her face? How is that OK in any scenario??
February 28th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
For everyone basing their opinion on the image how exactly do we even know it’s the real deal?
February 28th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
I realize it is easier said then done about walking away from someone you love but seriously, someone needs to help her see the reality of the situation. It takes time and distance to heal a broken heart. She didn’t allow herself enough of either.
February 28th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
“Do y’all think that this story can get any odder/sadder/worse?”
Unfortunately, yes. He could eventually kill her. That is the sad reality of a violent relationship.
I’m so sad about this news story today. :((
February 28th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
maybe people should focus more on the good people are doing ,than on gossip…check out clothesoffourback.org/habitat for a list of over 90 celebs that donated to habitat for humanity for an amazing auction!
February 28th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
rock on lisa.
February 28th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
I bet he said: “I’ll never do it again”. I guess she believed him. The sad reality is that this happens quite often.
February 28th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
It’s called the “Honeymoon phase”
Lets hope Jay z’s bodyguard repays Chris whatever he wants to dish out the next time this happens!!
February 28th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
@canuck:
You clearly don’t have any self esteem issues then. I once briefly dated a guy who I later realised could have become abusive. That relationship ended when he told me I couldn’t be friends with another guy. In hindsight, he was kinda right to be jealous, I’ve been dating the friend for over two years now.
But the point is, like you, I knew that he wouldn’t do that if he really cared, and that things would likely get worse. Some women don’t realise that, and Rhianna is most likely one of them. There’s a reason it has a name.
February 28th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
What a great message to send to the kids … I think they have probably been ‘got to’ by managers, agents, lawyers … families? Saving images and careers ($$$) are more of a priority to these people, than her personal health and safety. Rihanna will learn …
February 28th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
I called this when the news came out, that’s why I didn’t get alll the people talking all that shit, like she wasn’t gonna go back to him, I knew that was gonna happen. Uh Joanne, Rihanna went back to chris of her own free will, trust me, nobody had to wave dollars in her face, all chris had to do was make that phone call.
February 28th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
I’m not surprised. An abusive relationship is hard to let go of..i know this from personal experience. They make you believe them and it goes right back to the way it was. Instead of people being mad or saying Rihanna is crazy, it makes more sense to support her decision and be there if things mess up again. Nobody can change her mind but herself.
It’s a lot harder to stop loving someone then it is to start.
February 28th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
It is true that Battered Women’s Syndrome is real, and many people suffer from it. But this isn’t Sally and Bob from down the road, this is a woman who has enormous influence over teens. She chose her career, and she should understand that her decisions send a message.
It’s the same as saying a serial killer has schizophrenia, and then letting him continue on because, oops, hes got a mental disorder.
February 28th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
@Deb
Just my $.02 but, I don’t think Rihanna’s family is truly supportive of her reunion w/ Chris. How could they be? I think they are putting on a brave face and doing their best to not alienate their daughter. They wont be able to help her if they are estranged from her. And we all know it is very likely she is going to need their help because Chris is not going to change. Most abusers don’t….: (
February 28th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Oh well. They deserve eachother. Don’t care for either one.
February 28th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
It is what it is I guess. I mean clearly something transpired that night in the car. She had those awful brusies and such and the police and DA want to do something about it so at the very least he hit her. As to what really happened between them we will probably never know. Do I think it’s a good idea to go on vacay with the guy who beat you up? Hell no! I’d tell him where to go shove it and then go do my thing but it’s her life and her decision good or bad. I’m not going to boycott either of them for their decisions because as musicians I appreciate and enjoy their talents. I would hope that she would stand up for herself and tell him to leave her alone but it’s like Tina said “what’s love got to do with it”
Oh and CLEARLY she has not seen that Ike and Tina movie… Tina Turner should call Rihanna and explain reality to her.
February 28th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Seeing him all smiley like that while he’s under investigation for domestic violence that only transpired three weeks ago literally makes me sick to my stomach.
I don’t judge Rihanna at all for going back to him, because I just think that would be a shitty approach to take, but I definitely do not think she should have. It’s almost guaranteed that he’ll go after her again and she could get REALLY badly hurt next time.
March 1st, 2009 at 12:01 am
Puh-Leeeeze….. I always knew RiRi would go back to him. Most women that are beaten by their BFs do. Nothing new, people. Although she is famous she is still a dumb female
March 1st, 2009 at 12:35 am
Some of these comments justifying Chris Brown’s actions are disheartening.
Unless RiRi raped Brown’s mother and beat the living shit out of her, I really can’t think of even one good reason for Brown to physically assault RiRi in such a manner.
March 1st, 2009 at 12:58 am
I feel so bad for baby girl, thinking that abuse =’s love. Poor thang. Of course, its none of our business, but still, I think its a damn shame. If they were fighting rough before, its not going to change, but that is a lesson they have to figure out on their own. Can you imagine the type of scrutiny they will be under now, should they step out with each other at events? Its going to be pandemonium! Every outfit she wears, any dark makeup, is all going to spark questions and undue (or due) worry. As if they don’t live under a microscope already! Sad, sad, sad.
March 1st, 2009 at 1:10 am
I completely agree with verodemort. If Rihanna ever wears a shirt that covers her arms,people will immediately think Chris hit her. The same with wearing sunglasses,they’ll think she’s hiding a black eye.
Poor girl. Rumors will be sparked at every angle for them,until finally,they decide to break it off. Sad.
March 1st, 2009 at 6:42 am
Trent I totally agree with your comment @ P. Iam also upset that she took him back so soon I would have waited to make sure he was really getting some help!!;(
March 1st, 2009 at 7:13 am
I think this is so, so sad. Forget the whole “not being a role model to girls”- she is more than a role model, she is a HUMAN. Let’s take a step back from the celebrity and look at the real person.
I wished she learned to love herself a bit more and keep people like him out of her life. :(
March 1st, 2009 at 7:20 am
I think what people should realize is that there are unfortunately a lot of couples out there who get back together after physical altercations. Maybe now everyone will start investing more time in talking about these issues again.
Didn’t this happen with Josh Brolin and Diane Lane?
March 1st, 2009 at 9:19 am
To those of you who keep saying the picture of Rihanna was probably fake or doctored, TMZ paid the leak at the police $62,500 for that picture.
You wouldn’t pay that much for something unless you knew it was real.
March 1st, 2009 at 9:28 am
Even though no one knows exactly what happened, its obvious that SOMETHING happened and it sends a terrible message to her fans, especially younger girls, who will think that it’s ok to stay with a guy who beats you or that’s normal. If Rhianna doesn’t leave then why would some poor, unconfident person leave? It completely sends the wrong message, I am disappointed in her. And her father for being so supportive.
March 1st, 2009 at 9:50 am
She can do MUCH better. He needs to not be in a relationship for awhile and work on his problems. Hopefully this relationship will end before she gets beat up again.
March 1st, 2009 at 10:12 am
This boys arrogance is disgusting. Yep Ri Ri that is your man. You must be soo happy, until the next time his fist hits your face. Fine example you are setting for your young fans.
March 1st, 2009 at 10:12 am
since all this happened, i guess they can’t use the ‘we’re just friends’ excuse anymore.
March 1st, 2009 at 11:01 am
Okay…so there is two possible explanations to this story:
a) we really dont know ANYTHING about the situation at hand
b) she is completely head over heels in love with the guy so whatever he does is deemed acceptable in her mind.
I just hope that it is scenerio “a” and something else excuses her going back to him. I have younger sisters who love Rihanna, and she is a role model to many more young girls as well. If he really did attack her, and she has really been battered by him, it is not only a bad reflection on herself, but it will in turn affect her own personal image and career advancements in the future.
March 1st, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Ike Turner
OJ Simspon
Chris Brown
…let’s hope she gets out of all of this like Tina did and not end up like Nicole.
March 1st, 2009 at 3:14 pm
well I for one only know that a guy really loves me and is worth my time if he beats me silly once and a while.
poor riri…
March 1st, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Sometimes something like this happens to make you look at yourselves and re-evaluate, and maybe change for the better. Only they know what really happened that night, and what led to Rihannas injuries so I’m not going to jude if thats her decision.
March 1st, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Ugh, that’s just too bad….I had a feeling she’d go back. I wish she would’ve taken this opportunity and used it as good as she could have, by being a strong woman role-model for younger girls in relationships like this…That’s too bad. :(
March 1st, 2009 at 10:09 pm
I heard she got pregnant.
March 2nd, 2009 at 6:33 am
Thought this would happened. As I had mentioned before, having gone through a very similar situation myself….before I actually had it happen to me, the words out of my mouth were “If my boyfriend ever hits me, that’s it, it’s over and I’d be sure he’d going to jail.”
Surprisingly, after I actually had it happen to me, I didn’t feel that way at all. I’m not crazy, but that must mean that it’s a weird thing that happens when you actually go through it. On one hand you have this man who you love and have all this time together with, you’re best friend. On the other, you have some psycho who came out and hurt you. It’s like the brain doesn’t connect the two.
My situation was bad enough that he got locked up for a while and I didn’t even feel like pressing charges. I actually wished it would just go away like it never happened and I promise you that is totally oppostive of who I’ve ever been.
Luckily for me, the time he spent in jail kept us apart, the support of my family and friends, and I decided to go get counceling to try and figure why in the world I was not mad that this man but rather felt guilty myself for what happened. I learned a lot and did manage to completely leave the sitaution…but that is because of the help that I got. If left to my own devices at the time, I probably would have gone back.
She may not be getting the support she needs to truly grasp what this means. It’s very hard mentally to wrap your head around the fact that your lover and best friend just tried to kill you or hurt you. It’s like the brain doesn’t get it for a while.
March 2nd, 2009 at 8:19 am
what’s diddy’s stake in this that he has allowed them to ‘reconcile’ at his place?
