he only deserves to be treated that way, i think he lost a lot of fans by doing what he did. Its not fair that he hits her, and now looking for forgiveness, i think he will make a bigger idiot when he starts talking publicly about this.

theres a difference when your talking about violence against man, and violence against a woman. Its more known for a man to beat a woman then the other way around. Also the majority of men can beat up a woman, compared to a woman beating up a man, in any case violence is never the answer. Like i said before a man should never hit a woman. A man can damage a woman much worse then a woman beating a man. I think when it comes to manipulating, a man can have such an impact on a woman, and make her feel worthless and actual convince her that shes nothing if not with him.

I’ve read alot of ‘rumours’ about how Chris & Rihanna want to get rid of the no contact and restraining order. Mainly Rihanna’s people wanted to and just ‘move on’ but maybe thats what they always were, restraining orders.
–
Perhaps, Rihanna actually does want Chris AWAY from her and this is why the result of his sentencing is to stay away and no contact.
–
If there has been previous violence, i don’t understand if those rumours about Rihanna wanting to get back together and wasn’t there a time when they both went to the same hotel and to Diddy’s mansion? I mean – i just don’t get it really. Obviously its hard to understand cause your not in either of their shoes, but my guess is that Chris is a sly talker and can make Rihanna feel bad for herself or say something sweet to toy with her mind, hence why they obviously stayed together from the previous un-heard of violence incidents.
–
One would think, with the incident that occured, was the worst that happen to Rihanna, she would get up & leave and not want anything to do with him. If it happening for a first time, perhaps there would be that anger but afterwards emotion and wanting to forgive and move on, get past it and possibly stay together? I dunno, i aint some violence psychiatrist.

@Anne – I agree with you, but I also think it’s unfair to ignore violence against men. I feel like for months we have been led to believe that Chris Brown was this monster who repeatedly abused poor Rihanna, and I’m not saying that he didn’t, because it did happen and it was horrible and appalling that he thought it was ok to do any of that to her. But she also has a history of being violent as well, which is something that most of us hadn’t heard until now. What I’m saying is why is it okay for everyone to know everything he did to her, but no one said a word about her abuse towards him. She hit him before that night, why shouldn’t she get some sort of reprimand for it? Violence towards anyone is not okay, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman. I know plenty of men who would never hit a woman simply because she is one, even if she beat the crap out of him. How is that fair? I think they both need to get some sort of help so that they can deal with their anger issues and work on becoming nonviolent.

@lily – I’m so sorry that happened to you. That’s horrible, and I started crying when I read what you wrote. I hardly ever post on this site, but read it all the time. I think everyone really needs to do some research on the cycle of violence before you judge anyone’s actions, especially Rihanna’s. That’s my only suggestion, really. Read up on something before you spew out dangerous words. Violence against women will never stop unless we fully understand why it happens.

slapping someone is not the same as beating someone. I was in a relationship with a guy who cheated on me and verbally abused me, i caught him cheating on me, i slapped him, and he almost killed me, he grabbed and put me on the ground and punched me, and kicked me in the face. I didnt deserve that, and what he did to was physical abuse. Yea maybe rihanna did slap him but no matter what, a guy should never hit a woman, and if he was a real man he would not try to hit her, he could of easily stopped the car and get out and leave her there and let her calm down, theres no excuse for what he did. So you ppl are crazy if u think that girl deserved to beatin on. You could be the biggest bitch in the world and still dont deserve that. You would slap ur man to if he was getting text msgs or calls from an ex gf or whatever. Chris is just an idiot, and i dont think he will change, if he was that upset about what he done, and if he was depressed then he should of said an apology or given a statement as soon as this happened. Instead he ran away like an ass that he is, then to be seen a couple weeks later out havin fun, and hangin out wit other girls. He needs to just go away from the celebrity world, and go get some serious help. Even though he hasnt been in trouble with the cops before, he should of been put to prison, that might smarten him up and realize what he did wrong. And if shes stupid to take him back, well shes just dumb, but when you love someone its hard to let go and u always think maybe he can change, and despite the bad times we had, we also had good times. So shes always going to love him, im guessing her family keeps her grounded and reminds her that shes better than that, and she can do better for herself.

so i read the report and what chris brown did was horrible! he sould have got jail time. for people saying he was provoked, what a joke! i have seen pics of rianna and chris brown side by side and he looks a hell of a lot bigger then her. i doubt she did any damage. i know im gonna get people saying it doesnt matter but it does…im not proud of my moment but i once slapped my boyfriend (i have never done so again and this was 3 years ago) and he just walked away, believe me he was pissed as hell fists clenched. theres not one day that goes by that i dont regret it. but he walked away when he didnt have to. he could have easily done to me what chris brown did to rihanna. so chris brown could have walked awy but he didnt.

A man is stronger than a woman. Yes, he was more violent, but she was also violent toward him. Rhianna isn’t completely faultless just because she didn’t damage him as much as he damaged her. Sounds like there was provocation from Rhianna each time. A slap, a violent outburst (albeit not toward him, but the car). What it doesn’t say of course is who started the verbal arguements. But whatever, he’s getting what he deserves for his attack. However I think Rhianna is at fault for some part too. You cannot always condemn the man just because he is a man, just because they are stronger, and when there is evidence to support the fact that the woman did provoke the actions. Doesn’t absolve him, but it’s a two way street.
You can get riled up about it pointlessly but if their roles were reversed so that she beat him up and he provoked her, you’d be foaming at the mouth for him provoking her. I bet. Women may be weaker but we’re never infallible when it comes to these situations. We can take partial blame too :/

@krissy, you are correct in stating we don’t know whether she is or isn’t in therapy addressing these issues but i’m just saying i hope she is. if she doesn’t she is just gonna find herself in another abusive relationship.

By: Pixie

Pixie — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 20:44:15 +0000

if i walk in a dark alley knowing there is someone there who will beat me, then yes i am in part responsible if i get beaten. that doesn’t excuse the person that beat me, but i didn’t have to choose to walk in that dark alley knowing the person was there. i could have left that alley and gone another way. are we saying rihanna had no choice but to stay in that abusive relationship? she had choices, she had the resources to get out but for whatever reason she chose to stay. does that excuse chris brown from his actions? absolutely not, he as well chose to beat her.

Sounds like they both need lessons on not putting your hands against another person, male or female. @Suzanne- they are both victims as they both have histories of being violent in their relationships.

By: Suzanne

Suzanne — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 20:28:45 +0000

100% bikerbabe. Michelle: She has not made one single comment on anything. How the hell is she “playing the victim”. She is the f*cking victim. He pled guilty and “faux-pologised” on the interweb.

Chris Brown doesn’t deserve any f*cking support. He is a guy using his past to excuse what he did. I am sick of people making excuses for him.

Abusive relationships are something that I hope none of you ever have to go through. Abusers make you feel like nothing, and that all you can get and deserve is them. That you are not worthy of anything better and that you deserve everything they heap on you.

People in these relationships – famous or not – man or woman – should never be expected to “take responsibility” for remaining in that relationship and somehow “take responsibility” for what happens to them. That is exactly the same as saying that someone who walks home alone after dark should “take responsibility” for being assaulted in an alley.

Compassion is right. Try being a f*cking human being.

Don’t judge Rhianna for her actions during this situation. Unless you have ever been in an abusive relationship you have no idea what she has been through and NONE of what happened is her fault. Not many guys start out pushing and shoving a woman around, it happens gradually and by the time you’ve gotten to that place it’s likely she didn’t realize how bad it really was. Have some compassion.

lord help both of ‘em. if the situation were reversed and she had choked and bit and beaten *him* to a bloody pulp, i hope we’d throw the book at rihanna too.

knowing *she hit him in the past* does indeed greatly decrease my respect for her. but i don’t blame her for his actions. or him, for her actions!

not interested in either of these losers anymore.

Krissy — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 19:13:45 +0000

Liza, how do you know Rhianna isn’t in some type of counseling? Pixie, how do you know she isn’t in therapy addressing those very issues? Just because she doesn’t make her recovery a public spectacle doesn’t mean that she isn’t getting help or taking responsibility.

By: Krissy

Krissy — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 19:12:07 +0000

Suzanne said: ” I just can’t comprehend how anyone could say that she in any way remotely deserved what he did to her. And by bringing up a past incident where she slapped him (and then he shoved her into a wall), that is how it comes across to me.”

I completely agree.

Michelle — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:46:07 +0000

It seems to me that there is more to this story than what originally met the eye. I feel that even though Chris Brown did in fact hit her and cause her bodily damage, Rihanna has been playing the part of the innocent victim when she in fact, has also hit him. Why is it that it’s not okay for a man to hit a woman but a woman can hit a man without any reprocussions? Obviously there was a lot more going on with the couple than anyone thought. While it’s still a horrible thing what transpired the night in the car, obviously Chris Brown has also been a victim of abuse from Rihanna and I feel like he isn’t getting any support for that.She isn’t getting any heat for it either. I’m really over her, she walks around like she’s queen of the Earth and really she’s got her own issues.

Pixie — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:31:55 +0000

@ suzanne: i agree they are two separate incidents. i didn’t mean to imply that he had the right to beat (during the feb car incident) her cause she has slapped him in an earlier incident. i think she needs to also look at herself and question why she feels the urge to slap anyone during an argument and to question why she stayed in an abusive relationship. only by taking responsibility and saying ok something is wrong with me that i allow a guy to beat me can she break the cycle of abuse.

wow…just by saying i think she needed to take some responsibility for her actions…someone mistaking thought i said she deserved to be hit. NO! NOT AT ALL! all that means is she needs to stand up and take some (not all…just some) responsibility for allowing a violent relationship continue. meaning she also needs some type of counseling. it is never ok for anyone to hit someone…no matter what the situation. And because i believe both parties a somewhat responsible dosen’t mean i think its ok for men to hit women or women to hit men.

I think that it is a true statement that Rhianna shouldn’t act out in violence but I don’t think that automatically makes her open to whatever concequences just because she initated it in the past.

Here’s the deal, Rhinna would not be able to do the harm to Chris that he can do to her. She can’t overpower him so the bigger person needs to show more restraint because of the damage he can do verses what she can do. It doesn’t give her the right to act out either but he could walk away and cut ties with her also. A normal person probably would and say I’m not going to put myself in that postition because when he lets loose ,its waaaaay more damaging then when she does. He needed to not let himself get in that position and he did.

She probably needs help too. It doesn’t surprise me that she wants to be with him regarless. I be she even regets that it’s gone this far and wishes no one would have ever found out. It’s a sad thing. People will put up with a lot for what the precieve as love.

Is anyone going to question Rihannas actions??
She slapped him…violence is voilence, whether its from a man OR a woman!
On the last incident, she began beating her fists against his car….that shows she has some violent issues she needs to work on also!!!!
