noooooooooooo – we ALL know what happened. He plead guilty to it. Get your head out of the clouds & read the police report!! I don’t have to act like I know either of them to see she’s to good to stay with a guy that beats her. . Just because Rihanna is famous doesn’t mean she can’t hide beating evidence. Abusers start out with small stuff, like pushing & yelling.

Nicole- How about prove it wasn’t a one time thing. You can tell by the way he was talking to her he’s use to beating her down. Funny you are quick to believe rumors about Rihanna having a bad temper, but not all the proof that against Brown that made him accept a plea to become a convicted felon. Some of you CB fangirls are scary.

Most of you have a lot to learn about abusers & their victims. You think because she can’t let him go that means it “wasn’t that bad”?? How ignorant. Brown is a convicted felon & deserves the harsh treatment he gets. Don’t pull any race card bullshit either.

@Janelle… think on this… If someone showed up at a police station or hospital covered in cuts and bruises and claimed you had beaten them (but maybe you really hadn’t, maybe they just hated you and wanted payback) would you want to have your face and story plastered in every paper/website from here to Timbuktu? Would you want everyone to assume you were guilty and called you all sort of mean and ridiculous things before you even stood trial? Or better yet, would you want everyone running around damaging your otherwise good reputation all because they are speculating and taking what they read in the paper/web as absolute truth? Would you want anyone who wasn’t with you that night or at your trial to pass judgmentt on you (remember, you’re innocent here)?? I’m betting you wouldn’t… perhaps Chris Brown deserves the same consideration. Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Janelle- You’re exactly right. None is us know him or the real situation at all, so we shouldn’t speculate or judge him either. Unless you were with them that night, you don’t really know what happened either. Sorry, I guess I’m not one to crucify someone without knowing what truly happened.

I personnally think that the ruling was just and fair. Let us not forget that he is only 20 years old and has never been in trouble with the law in the past. The most important thing here is that he will be getting domestic violence counseling. And now with the celebrity being over the law crap, anyone with the same history as Chris Brown would have gotten the same ruling. I dont know why people think jail time resolves anything… Accept it and move on!

@Trent
I agree Rihanna’s actions were never proven in court, but Chris’s actions were never “proven” either. He made the admission as part of a plea bargain, which is hardly conclusive.

People are convicted all the time for crimes they aren’t guilty of. It’s not far-fetched that someone agreed to admit to something to avoid a far more uncertain fate.

I am not commenting on Chris’s guilt one way or the other. I am saying that Rihanna was not an innocent bystander; she started the physical altercation and should be held responsible for her actions.

@nnnoooo, @Billy, @Eyes… I gotta say *sigh* that I kinda agree with you.
I’m NEVER advocating violence against women, but our dear, little, sweet RiRi is well known for having a temper. She used to brag about hitting her little brother with a glass bottle (Google it).
Chris Brown should probably be punsihed (hitting back or not), but NOT crucified.

I hate to say it, but I get guys parol with no jail time all the time for criminal domestic violence. Even on the second and third offenses. It’s sad, but the court system doesn’t see it as a big deal.

@Eyes – none of those allegations of Rihanna’s behavior was ever proven in a court of law and she was NEVER on trial for anything. She is the victim here. Chris Brown admitted to felony assault in court and only got probation. That is the travesty to me.

Q, that wasn’t meant as a defense of Hilton, I pretty much had a party when she went to jail. All I meant was that comparatively, this is ridiculous, first time offense or not.

Not to beat a dead horse further, but I’m curious — Why do people think her behavior — hitting him with cell phone, stilletoes, fists (while he’s driving) — is OK or not as bad as his behavior? How is an otherwise unprovoked assault not abuse/abusive?

By: Eyes

Eyes — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:04:30 +0000

I continue to be puzzled by most peoples reaction this situation. Independent of Chris Brown’s actions, Rihanna herself demonstrated extremely reckless behavior. She endangered them both by attacking Chris while he was driving a (moving) car. If Chris had hit a another vehicle, a light pole or bystander during her attack, it would be her fault. Frankly, her actions were criminal and she should be prosecuted.

Besides she’s no domestic violence victim or survivor. She started a physical altercation and it bit her in the ass (well, … in the face).

And before someone starts playing the ‘Stan’ card, I didn’t care about Rihanna or Chris before this situation.

I’m not saying Chris action’s were right. In fact, I believe they were both wrong and should equally face the consequences.

@ Oscar in Miami Beach Ummm, what does being black have to do with anything? I would agree with you on being rich but let’s be serious, it’s not because he’s black. If he were black and POOR then things probably would have worked out differently for him…

I’m not at all saying that some jailtime wouldn’t do him some good, but everyone who is saying this is a common result is dead on. In a case where you have a first time offender and the victim requests (or at least agrees) that the person not be given jail time, a judge will likely accept it. In most states the prosecutor and accused work out a deal, take it to the judge and the judge can either accept the plea, reject it or modify the amound of punishment requested by the prosecutor. I really don’t think he got celebrity treatment.

In the USA today if you are BLACK and RICH you can break ANY law and get away with it.This and Donte Stallworth in Miami Beach are examples of what is call justice in this country today.Sad and shame are not enough to define what is going on.Be careful all of you for you maybe next.

I am PISSED. I dont give a shit if it’s his first time-he beat the shit out of her. Inexcusable. I wanted that asshole to get jailtime-and a lot of it. This is the worst news ever.

You people suck. We don’t know what happened. If Chris was the only one wrong in this situation I’m sure Rihanna would be all over the place saying how innocent she was. Stop all the Chris Brown hate it’s clearly more to this story that we may never know. Also he not the first celeb to be involved in domestic violence, for some reason racist people are extra mad at him.

OK people, calm down. Almost all normal domestic violence cases hardly end up with jail time.

People need to relax. This is a standard deal that he is getting for someone with no record. Do you think that just because he’s a celebrity as is Rihanna that he should get a harsher punishment? No, of course not. This is our criminal justice system at work – and not some celebrity getting off easy.

Total BULLSHIZZ! But, that dude WILL end up in jail, mark my words. 5 years probation is a long time when you’re in you’re early 20′s. He’ll get in trouble again and end up in jail. That does not mean it’s fair though…what Rihanna had to go through was unreal and terrible. She didn’t have to testify which might have been a big reason he took the plea.

@nooooo – The situations are difficult enough to deal with being a domestic victim. None of us know her and shouldn’t speculate or judge her at all.

TRENT – Maybe you could post the picture of Rihanna’s swollen and bruised face again … just to remind a few people here, who seem to think this was not “as bad” as claimed.
