After a brief visit to Hawaii and then a quick cameo in NYC, Rihanna made her way home to Barbados yesterday in order to attend her grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary. Speaking with US Weekly, Rihanna‘s father Ronald Felty revealed that his daughter is “back to herself” these days which is really great to hear considering everything she’s been thru these past few weeks. Here are a couple pics of Ri Ri making her arrival in Barbados yesterday:
Rihanna’s jet-setting continued this week. After hitting Hawaii and New York City in the same week, the singer, 21, returned home to her native Barbados on Friday. She is helping her grandparents celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. “Yeah [she’s back],” her father Ronald Fenty told Usmagazine.com Friday in a telephone interview. “She just got in a couple hours ago. I will see her tomorrow. He says they’ll “probably do lunch” during her weekend trip home. “Of course, I’m happy to have her home. Things are good with her,” Fenty told Us. “She is doing really, really well. She’s back to herself again.” It remains to be seen whether Rihanna will attend Chris Brown’s arraignment Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court. The singer, 19, is expected to enter a plea to two felony counts of assault and making criminal threats after allegedly beating Rihanna Feb. 8 in L.A. Earlier this week, Rihanna’s lawyer Donald Etra dismissed reports that she is not cooperating with prosecutors. “She will do everything that the law requires her to do,” Etra told Us. “Nothing has changed.”
While I’m sure that Rihanna plans to “do everything that the law requires her to do”, my guess is that she will do so minimally. It pains me to think this whole Chris Brown thing may get swept under the rug when everything’s all said and done but, in the end, if that’s the way she wants it then that’s the way it may turn out. It’s really good seeing Rihanna looking so well and I’m glad to know she’s spending a lot of time with her family. Will she be back in SoCal to stand by Brown when he goes back to court? We shall soon see.

I, too, think this whole thing is just gonna be forgotten pretty soon. It just didn’t result in the type of outrage that I really thought it would. I don’t get it. Very few people from the black community even spoke up about it. I’m sure Chris Brown will still sell records and sell out arenas just as he did before. It’s just such a sad world we live in.
i wish Rhianna will just relax and heal, forget about men on an intimate basis for a while, just have friends and enjoy life . i wish you peace and happiness do not let anyone take away your joy.keep smiling. [BARBADOS] loves you.
She has come out of this looking amazing!
I prefer to call it ‘the beating’ – not “this whole Chris Brown thing”. Let us remember the picture of her face. It’s easy to start minimising what happened, because the story is ‘old’ now and people have no attention span these days. He commited a major offence and needs to be seen to be punished, for all the young guys out there who think this is normal behavior.
