[...] account of her assault is so incredibly sad … and that sadness is compounded by the fact that she’s apparently already willing to reconcile with him. I am so happy that the prosecutor’s office is moving forward with the case. If these [...]

I have to say that I find about 99% of the posts on here to be awful. Do people really like this much empathy? The question isn’t “Why did she go back to him?” The question is “What kind of PERSON BEATS SOMEONE THEY LOVE!?”

I’m a 27- yr old, educated, successful woman. I’m confident (now) and happy to have the life I have. I’m also a survivor of domestic abuse. And it’s the world’s lack of empathy and understand that angers. You should all be ashamed to even QUESTION her reasoning. She was BEATED.

AKS is completely correct on how the abuser manipulates and controls you. Now, I wish our society would stop being so quick to judge the abused and would instead see the abuser as the sick, twisted individual that they are.

I don’t doubt that it happened. I think this is very common for the abused to go back when they don’t have the right support network in place.
Rhianna is an adult so her family can’t make her do anything, plus they are probably on her payroll and that probably effects what “power” they have over her.
If they wanted what was best for their loved one, the would likely encourage her to go to counseling and keep some distance for a while. If at the end of the counseling and being a part, she still thinks it’s best to be with him….then that’s on her.

I think from a public stand point, it does send a bad message to women and to men. Chris is essentially rewarded for bad behavior and Rhianna is saying that she isn’t worth much.

Eek. Speaking as someone who has been in an abusive relationship, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Run away, run far, far away! And my situation NEVER left any marks on me like Rhianna (I have no idea how to spell her name) had. The worst I ever got were bruised ribs (nothing on my skin) and I GOT THE HELL OUT. I’m now married to the love of my life and he treats me like a queen. If I were still with that asshole, I know I’d still be getting smacked around for nothing. It took me a LONG time to end it but I did end it. Leave him!!! THEY DON’T CHANGE.

The thing is, we really don’t know what happened that night except that Rihanna was assaulted. The biggest assumption and probably rightly so is that Chris Brown beat her. I agree with Trent that even though I couldn’t let someone who did that back into my life again it’s really between them. As for her father, I’m not a parent so I don’t really know how that love works between a parent to their child. I would not be able to support my loved ones in this either, but in a father-daughter situation? I’m sure my own father has supported me at time when he didn’t really want to. So while I can’t fault the guy I also would hope that he has a little talk with Chris because I would be wary of him for a long time.

they both need to get counseling if they are gonna go back togeather not just anger management classes for him she needs to be dealt with as well going to miami is not dealing with this issue and now they will expect fans to accept this and go back to what it was they are too young to be togeather and left to do as they please some displine on both parties is needed i guess money talks for both, this will not get chris out of the charges the DA can charge him without her

This ticks me off to the fullest. Rihanna is dead to me. I already hated her anyway though.

While assault on any sex, male or female, is wrong, I’m still iffy about this. Maybe they both beat the hell out of each other and that’s why they’re back together, because they were both wrong. I don’t think ANY of us should judge because NONE of us were there.

No one is saying it outright, but maybe dad is not
condemning CB because he is also a woman/wife
beater. Several have mentioned about the culture
in some islands. Whatever. It is so wrong and
so sad that she feels she has to put up with that
treatment. If she grew up in that environment
like CB did, there doesn’t seem much hope.

As a celebrity you simply ARE a role model REGARDLESS of whether or not you want to be. As a role model, she had a HUGE opportunity to be an example to little girls everywhere, that it is NOT acceptable to be hurt by a “loved” one. She COULD HAVE stood up for victims of domestic abuse…how many people could have been saved because they gained the strength to stand up???…instead she chose to send a message JUST AS LOUD–that’s it’s okay to let someone abuse you. It’s sad & wrong.

THANK YOU TRENT!!!!! That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking! If one of my two girls grew up to be in a relationship with an abuser, there is NO WAY I would “support her decision”. I would HOPE & PRAY that I would take the high road, and NOT support her decision & try DESPERATELY to get her to leave the man. It’s hard to be at odds with your child, but you have to do WHAT IS RIGHT and actually PARENT.

Rihanna is an adult…and if she decides to get beat up again quite frankly hr father has no power over that decision

We absolutely do have the right to judge Rihanna and Chris Brown and the reluctance to do so is what will send a negative message to girls. We know she didn’t bruise herself in that car, he did it. And now they are back together. It is dysfunctional and self-destructive. I fear Rihanna is going to have to learn the hard way and that is very sad.

This is so sad… mostly because my best friend is going through the same thing right now. For me, it’s FRUSTRATING because as an outsider you see the physical/emotional abuse and yet you can’t do anything about it… Especially when the victim is in denial about what happened. (“He didn’t mean it”… or… “I deserved it”…). These poor women keep going back to their dead beat boyfriends – just to get smacked around some more. My friend is such a great girl… she had everything going for her… Until she met this guy who put her under his spell… it’s been about a year and a half now… When I helped her move out of their apartment the first time, she told me all these horror stories about things that happened while they were together. And now she’s back with him. It doesn’t make sense to me how (even if it is a syndrome) you can get back involved in that situation when you KNOW just how harmful it is. I just wish there was some way for us to reach out to these women who feel they can’t do any better. And the scariest part of all – is that they usually know very well that it’s wrong. They keep the abuse secret from EVERYone for as long as they can…. so what is it that makes them stay? And what can we do to help an abuse victim see things from a new light??
Also, I feel that Rihanna’s dad did the right thing by standing behind his daughter… Honestly – battered women will come to you when they decide they want to… until then, all we can do is wait and hope the day comes when they finally decide they need us. At least that’s the way I look at it… When my friend finally realizes she is better than this – I’ll be here for her. (Even after her b/f refuses to let her see me).

Do you see a certain pattern Trent? Every comment made with no surprise came from someone who is familiar with domestic violence including myself. Most of us have taken course, read books, and found a way in our lives how to deal whether it be from a prior relationship, sibling, close friend or parent. Sucks. We don’t have to know the details, we don’t have to be fans, just noting a familiarity. Shame.

I’m disapointed with Rhianna…I thought she was stronger…”take a bow” now doesn’t mean a thing when she’ll sing that again.
I think this will go on like Whitney Houston, I just hope that her career doesn’t end too soon like Whitney’s did.
About her father: I’d be hurt with my father if he “supported” my decision of going back to a guy who beat me.
And all that bullshit about “we don’t know what happened”…what do you think that happened that can erase the fact that he beat her?! even if she called him names or whatever, I don’t see injuries on Chris Brown’s face, so even if she started an argument with him or wtv, he didn’t have the right to beat her…and that’s all that matters.

This is no suprise. Most battered women leave their abusive partner an average of 7 times before they finally break free. If you have never been in an abusive relationship, you can not judge. There is a whole brainwashing that goes with it. It happens to intelligent beautiful successful women. (This story is your proof.)

I can’t believe that you guys are saying we don’t know what went down, that there are 2 sides to the story. No matter what was going down (except she had a gun to his head and was about to shoot him) a man should never hit a woman unless his life is a stake. I don’t care if she threw his keys..I don’t care if she was being a bitch..it doesn’t matter. Instead of breaking her face, break up with her. Not just that he threatened to kill her. Nothing good can come out of this. I hope Rhianna has friends and family that are telling her the truth and not just what she wants to hear.

J is right on the money with that one. I’m no PhD, I’m a former victim. It took years of abuse for me to even see how bad it was. My abuser was very manipulative and had a firm control over my life that I didn’t even see coming. Often, there is no easy way out, as much as it may seem so to an outsider. Between the abuse you still love that person and are extremely conflicted about what is right and wrong. Rhianna is NOT pathetic! We don’t know EXACTLY what happened, sure. We can think what we want but ultimately she has to see it all clearly for herself. I still love my abuser dearly and sometimes wish that I was still with him. That’s what therapy is for – to reconcile the feelings victims have towards our abusers. The best advice we can give her is to be strong, know who she is, and to have faith. Send her well wishes, even if you don’t support her decision.
