Chris Brown Plead Not Guilty in California Court April,2009 to the above pictured charges of two felonious assaults on Rihanna

The world was appalled by the dreadful sight of the police leaked digital photo of Rihanna on the aftermath of a physical altercation with Chris Brown. The couple was scheduled to appear the following night at an awards show but an argument got in the way the night before the show. The details are sketchy about an argument in the car and Rihanna tossing the car keys out of the window while Chris angrily batters her in the face.

The events may be sketchy but the picture that leaked out of the California police department did not lie. The picture was from disclosed byTMZ an tabloid television show that is known for catching celebrities at inopportune moments and having a panelist try to explain what they must have been thinking. People are wondering now what could Rihanna be thinking back in the arms of her abuser, Chris Brown again.

The photo showed a battered Rihanna with her lips notably bruised and scars over the front of her face. Rihanna had her eyes closed that made the picture appear even more dismal. One commenter upon seeing the report said that the picture was not of Rihanna because of he tatoo on her left shoulder. The readers were hoping that the bruised picture of Rhianna was of some other person and not the beautiful model for Cover Girl.

However, when reports began to surface from notable TV shows like Good Morning America and E! Hollywood, the questioning stopped and another question began to surface. Why would Chris Brown do such a thing to a woman? Chris Brown was immediately booked but was released after placing bail of $50,000. The law says that by the look of the battered face of Rihanna, the state could place charges even if Rhianna refuses to take any action.

Well what do you know. Recent reports have disclosed that Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together again at P Diddy's or Sean Puffy Combs mansion reconciling. Rhianna had spent her birthday on the island of Barbados and her father reported that she was doing fine. You would wonder what does Rihanna's father think about her being with Chris Brown in Sean Puffy Combs mansion. Why would Sean Puffy Combs offer his residence for the couple? Yes, Rihanna and Chris Brown is back as a couple again. Rihanna talks with Benyonce' Knowles, Oprah, and Jay Z about the incidence did not phase her to end her relationship with her abuser, Chris Brown.

Why would Rihanna return to her abuser? She may be blaming herself for the incidence of disagreement as most women do in this type of situation. Women usually think that if only they had not grabbed the keys or done something to anger or to provoke the abuser then the incidence may not have happened. When the blame for the situation is misplaced and displaced then the blame has no where else to land except erroneously on the abused person.

Rhianna has her own publicity people and she also has her own mindset. Undoubtedly, she does not realize that the message she is sending is a very dangerous one. She is telling abused girlfriends and wives to blame themselves and just make sure that you do not provoke the abuser again. This childlike behavior is reminescent of a child that put her hand in the cookie jar and got her hand spanked. Except in this case the child who disobeyed was an international known pop star and the spanked hand Uh spanked face got shrewn all over the media; audio, visual and printed. Back to the child who got her hand spanked for putting it in the cookie jar; the child may and aptly should look at the spanked hand as punishment and to not get punished again will refrain from raiding the cookie jar. Shouldn't Rihanna just refrain from being associated with Chris Brown who abused and humiliated her and catapulted her abused treatment around the world?

However, adulthood starts at eighteen and Rihanna is an adult who does not have to be taught by physical abuse to not get Chris Brown upset. Obviously Rihanna is not quite mature enough either to realize that her taking him back sends out a dubious message that it is okay to abuse a woman in a relationship. Chris Brown is responsible for his own actions and even if Rihanna threw the keys at him, he had no right to put his hands on a woman. Ironically the incidence with Rhianna and Chris Brown started about the same time that Michael Phelps got caught with illegal smoking apparatus. The media forgave him for the offense although it seems that the public did not because of the many cereal boxes on the shelves with his picture on them front and center. Also a business relationship of negative implications is a different from a relationship between a man and a woman no matter the level of maturity.

After the incidence with Rihanna and Chris Brown, Wrigley gum immediately pulled all of his ads. Other companies that he is licenced to represent may be waiting in the wings for the public's opinion or Rihanna's subsequent actions. Her actions of forgiving is fine and dandy however the intangible nature of forgiving does not mean that she has to parade with her bruised face covered to hid the scars across media land and physically stay in the big mansion with her abuser while her fan scringes. Teen age girls must be thinking that she is mighty brave to be in that big mansion along with "The Wrestler."

Rihanna is not a brave soul, she may just be misdirected and misguided by her "love" for Chris Brown who by the way is only 19 and probably can not spell the word forwards or backwards. Relationships are complicated and Rihanna has made the situation more complicated by having business as usual with her abuser, Chris Brown. Maybe she thinks that there is no one out in celebrityland that is worthy of her restored beauty or gracious talent. Celebrity romances are not the typical ones that shows any solidarity. So you wonder as a celebrity why would she continue to relate to him. Standing by your man in Hollywood is not the status quo especially if he goes for the face, her money maker.

The good new is that the two of them are not married. The fans and everyone else who knows about her being physically abused wonder what is the next step in this illogical, inconceivabl and ridiculous relationship. The good news is that Rihanna and Chris Brown are both celebrities who though supported by fans and though they used to vacation together are not your run of the mill couple. Rhianna being seen with Chris Brown as soon as two weeks after the incidence is not run of the mill either.

Psychologist are busy trying to figure out why did Rhianna return to her abuser, Chris Brown. They all have the same answer. Only Rhianna knows why she returned to the arms of the hands of a man that had physically hurt her as a sign of his famed anger that has yet to be tamed.

Okay so they are back! (my opinion )

now i totally understand tha they are talking again and well you know i would just forgave chris if he would of done that to me.. but the fact that he hit her and they are a couple? i mean cmon both being pop stars and both being such great artist that puts Rhianna in emberrasment not only just that but also through a big phase in her life. If i were Rhianna i would of i guess just forgave him but not go back with Chris because just how it happened now it can easily happen once again, Not to judge chris or anyone but when men see they can get away with it once, they think they can get away with it always!

to Rhianna: Just should of accepted apology and thats it!!!! No man should touch a woman! Respect sweetie!

to Chris: Dude! you have so many fans! anger management, look no matter wat a "man" should absolutely never never never touch a woman.. theres other ways to fix problems and not by hitting!!!!

-thx!

how irresponsible and sloppy of this site to put "Chris Rock" instead of Chris Brown in the article (end of second paragraph).  Chris Rock didn't beat Rihanna!  Chris Brown did, idiots!  at any rate, i hope that Chris Brown gets a prison sentence for what he did.  i also hope that Rihanna gets the intense therapy she needs.

Chris Brown made a mistake and the courts will decide what he will have to do for that mistake. Men and woman in domestic violence happen everyday and nothing is on the news about good old regular people. But the moment it happens with a celebrity couple or someone in the media everyone thinks the worst should happen. There were problems well before this issue that we probably don't even know about. But we seen this and want to give Chris Brown the AXE. Rhianna will have to explain for her decision for going back to him. She is a beautiful woman and she has her reasons for why she has taken him back. Love is blind no matter if you have money or not. They are together no matter who you are with Abuse is unexceptable and respect should be given to both in the relationship. Who are we to judge them and there relationship if they were regular people we would not think twice about what happend. Everyone needs to let them live there life. Justice will prevail. Remember people with money always get a slap on the wrist an those who don't pay for there crime in JAIL. So everyone knows this outcome.....

Unfortunatly she is young and feels that she is in love. If she were older and wiser she would know there are some great men out there who would build her up to be even better than she is now, not tear her down to try and control her. Hopefully she will realize before it is too late that she has a whole life ahead of her and this is not love that the two of them share.

i think she did not have any since for going back with him. but i am still behind chris brown 100%. because if she had not did what she did this would not have happened to her. there are a lot of rumors going around about what happened, i am not saying that any of it is true, but if they are true then to me she deserved more than whhat he gave her.

Dear Rhianna and Chris also to the public who have judge harshly. I wanted to share with you my views on this life situation to which these two beautiful young adults find themselves.

Rhianna is a woman hurt by the one that loved her so dearly & tenderly. She, like some of us, has seen the other side of the one we love. That view is sometimes through violence towards us or others, cheating with another woman while carrying on a loving and committed relationship with us, jealousy and rage that is unnerving, etc; not the prince charming idealistic view we’ve had up until that point and held in our heads and hearts. If we become exposed to these behaviors early enough in the relationship, we can cut the ties without too much heartache and despair on our part; take it all as a lesson learned and move on with that knowledge to the next relationship.

However, when this new perspective comes, it often comes after we are emotionally vested and committed. The new aerial view of that person is overwhelming and shocking. The reality is that the root of our love for that person is so far reaching into our core that we are often unable to walk away from the expressions of deep sorrow for his actions and heartfelt pleads for forgiveness and his renewed commitment to a loving relationship free of violence coupled with his agreement to not only go into counseling but yield totally to it restoration potential. I urge Rhianna to be crystal clear with Chris that this is the last episode of violence that will leave their relationship in tact.

With all of this said and if the couple seek out spiritually sound and well structured for this type of issue, counseling for the two of them to work out there differences and learn techniques of fighting fairly for which they can apply and have a happy and loving relationship that includes, healthy disagreements and fights, I support her decision to move forward with Chris to reconcile the relationship. Only time will tell if Chris and Rhianna will honor their commitments.

A word on forgiveness, forgiveness is a gift that Rhianna has extended to Chris. A gift is something you give voluntarily without expecting anything in return. In this case Rhianna has released Chris from his indebtedness to her for the grief he has caused without attempts to extort, intimidate threat or reserve accusations at times of convenience to her in the future. In return, Rhianna expects absolutely and completely nothing in return. The awesome thing about a gift is that there are residual effects and bilateral benefits. Both Chris and Rhianna are able to walk away with something that will improve and develop them both.

Rhianna’s benefits can be greatly measured; they are intense and extreme. After experiencing horrifying violence by someone she entreated her mind, body and damned near your soul to handle with tenderness, love and care. Forgiveness has given her the capacity to step out on her faith and receive advanced restoration in the process of healing, peace and the ability to move forward with out fear and trepidation. She doesn’t live her life nervous and filled with thoughts that this will happen again. Instead, she lives with the knowledge of what she has experienced and the valiant courage to move on knowing what she knows and living with that new since of confidence that knowledge has bought. The power she has tapped into is far greater than the experiences that bought her to this leg of her journey. Rhianna you are a young woman with a lot of life to live but, also with a lot life already experienced to include in your repertoire of wisdom. Count it all joy and a blessing and let God be glorified for the awesome and wonderful work He has done and is continuing to do in your life. Rhianna, I love you and God loves you.

Chris man up and go to a counselor who is spiritually based and well equipped to handle this type of issue. Ask God for His forgiveness and forgive yourself for your transgressions. Own your responsibility and recognize your weaknesses. Seek healing and learn how to live free of the bondage of violence to women. Enter into counseling that will benefit the both of you and leave your relationship better and stronger. I love you and God loves you.

I am a 47 year old BF; 23 years of marriage; 2 adult girls age 18 and 20. I have lived a life full of realities that have crashed my idealistic views and left me broken and strong. I wanted you to know that my perspective was not from my head but, from my heart, my soul, my blood, my sweat and my tears.

Be Blessed.

Thank you all for the many comments that basically said that Rihanna though a celebrity has feelings too and should have thought twice before going back to Chris Brown who may repeat the action.

WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE ARE IN LOVE THEY DON'T THINK STRAIGHT! NO MATTER WHAT. UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NOTHING ANY OF US CAN DO ABOUT IT BUT PRAY. AT THIS POINT MY OPINION IS THIS.

RHIANNA, IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE HIM BACK HAVE HIM SIGN AN AGREEMENT TO SEEK COUNSELING FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS IF HE COMMITTS TO THAT WITH YOU THEN THERE MAY BE HOPE. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT RECONCILE WITHOUT COUNSELING AND DON'T MISS YOUR SESSIONS. IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE THE CHANCE TO GET BACK WITH HIM DO IT WITH A LEGAL AGREEMENT FOR COUNSELING AND ANGER MANAGEMENT . YOU WILL LEARN FROM THIS AND IF THIS RELATIONSHIP DONT WORKOUT MAYBE YOUR FUTURE RELATIONSHIPS WILL WITH THE HELP OF COUSNELING AND PRAYER.

GO TO CHURCH SEEK CHRISTIAN COUNSELING , GET MARRIED AND STOP FORNICATING. LET GOD BE THE FOCUS YOU CAN STILL SELL ALBUMS WITH GOD THE FOCUS. YOU ARE A NICE YOUNG LADY AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO STICK TO YOUR DECISION ENROLL IN COUNSELING YOU AND CHRIS AND HAVE HIM SIGN AN AGREEMENT PUBLICALLY TO COUNSELING. NOW, THIS SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM TO DO IT PUBLICLY I MEAN YOUR FACE WAS SENT AROUND THE WORLD BRUISED UP.

DEMAND THIS. IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN BE RESPECTED. FORGET HIS DEMANDS START YOUR OWN THEN FORGIVE. IF YOU DONT SEEK RESPECT FROM THIS HORRIBLE EVENT THEN YOU WONT BE RESPECTED.

LOVE YA GIRL AND SO DO MY KIDS, BUT YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS WITH CLASS AND BE A STRONG WOMAN. DONT LET LOVE MAKE YOU STUPID. BUT MY KIDS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LISTEN OR WATCH YOU UNTIL YOU TURN THIS AROUND AND MAKE A STAND FOR WOMEN. THIS EXAMPLE OF JUST TAKING HIM BACK BECAUSE YOU ARE IN LOVE DOESN'T WORK FOR ME OR MY KIDS. IF YOU DONT LOVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TO MAKE A STAND THAN WHO CAN LOVE AND RESPECT YOU.. NOT ME NOR MY PRETEEN GIRLS.

WE ARE HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY COMING UP FOR MY GIRLS AND I AM DOING A QUESTION ANSWER SESSION TO THESE PRETEENS .. THE QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE RHIANNA CHIRSBROWN SITUATION. WISH YOU COULD BE THERE TO BE A ROLE MODEL. I WOULD POST IT ON YOUTUBE.

Great Idea Dee to have your preteens discuss the Rihanna and Chris Brown situation. Also I wish that I could send your post to her personally because she really does need counselling and to regain respect for herself. Recent news reports are that he is seeing someone else but Rihanna still have the courts to legally fix the wrong that was done to her. Thank you for your comment.

In my opinion - love is no exchange for self respect, dignity, or safety and there is no reasoning or justification for anyone to stay in an abusive relationship. I say that if a man raises his voice at his spouse out of anger that is a RED FLAG! If he touches her out of anger she need to end the relationship on the first angry touch.

Cris need help and Rihanna will soon need more help if she stays with him.

I don't believed there isn't a woman who hasn't been hit by her husband or lover once in her lifetime.and that man never hit her again. Rihanna is no different. It funny how everyone want to come off as SAINTS

Rose Ella Morton, thank you for your comment. Your comment however seems to accept domestic violence as the norm in relationships and the only women protected are the "saints." Are you saying that you think that the nature of men is to use violence when they disagree or disapprove of their partner's behavior. Your comment set two scenariors: Is violence from men to be expected because you are not a saint. The nature of men is to strike a woman if he dissaproves of her behavior. Please explain further. We all understand that your response is only your opinion but a answer from you would be appreciated.

I'm sorry I try to live in the real world. I say what I feel , not what I think people would like to hear. Violence can go bothways. What it Chris Brown had ran at the first punch Rihanna gave him, we all would be laughing calling him names that his mother wouldnt approve of. Women know what to say to get a man to react. We go beyond cruel sometime. I guess that why some of Chris female fans say they believed she deserve it. I do believed if Rihanna had keep her cool, this would have not happen. Never start a fight you can't finish and then cry abuse.

Rose, thank you for the real and honest answers about the Rihanna and Chris Brown situation.  Until the court case is made public, I cannot speak of whether Rihanna made the first physical move on Chris.  By the look of the photo, however, it seemed like Chris Brown used most of the brute force and walked away without a stratch. All Rihanna left as damage to him is her bloody stains on the inside of his sports car and notoriety in his singing career.

I do not believe that a man should ever strike a woman and a man should show self control if tempted to react to disapproval of a woman's action.  A woman should not have to walk on eggshells in the fear of "provoking" a man.  A smart woman however would not provoke a man if she knows that he has a tendency towards violence. The relationship sustained by violence should be ended because no man should put his hands on a woman in a brutal way. If you are in such a relationship and rationize that he only "hits me" when he is intoxicated, you need a wake up call. If a man hits you, he does not love you. You do not hurt someone who you love, under no circumstances. Have you ever seen a man purchase a bright shiny red sports car and then take it home only to damage it in a violent torrid of breaking windshields and denting the body. Men do not battle with what or who they are in love with because it just would not make sense. 

This particular case was emotionally charged and as in most of these instances, the man did the most damage.  The nature of a woman is to show anger but not in a violent way.  The woman who had her face redone was shot in the face by her husband. Another woman face was burned when her husband lit her up in a convenience store.  Both women kept their lives but they will never look the same before the offenses by their husbands. Rose, are you saying that these mens' actions were warranted because they may have been provoked?

Rose, these are real cases and you seem to be promoting these actions because it "must have been the woman's fault."  You need to know that everything is not cause and effect.  There is always the choice for the man or for both of them to walk away from an explosive argument.

Man is the stronger of the sexes physically and women should not have to tell their daughters to stifle what they say because their husbands may shoot them in the face or light them up.Young girls should be informed that the first time a man hits them is the first time that they leave the relationship. Only really sick women would stay in a relationship that is riddled with violence and brutality and they need professional counseling.

  I see that you are real and honest with your remarks and in the spirit of how you feel, Rose about violence from men, I hope that you tone down your realness. Your statement seems to say that you will accept such actions because somehow "it was your fault."  Or Rose, are you smart enough not to anger a man with violent tendencies and smart enough to say "Oh, I should not have provoked him."  Come on Rose, a man's character is based on how he treats women. The old adage is true that men who treat their mothers with love will most likely make good husbands or boyfriends. It has been disclosed that Chris Brown has experienced violence against his mother and may think like you that his actions are okay. Violent behavior is a part of his history and since he has experienced these brutal, why not share the experience with Rihanna. The logic does not make sense. What makes sense is that they both should get professional counseling. Rihanna needs counseling for accepting such behavior as the norm and accepting him back as a friend. Chris Brown should be counseled to get over the experience he had of seeing his mother a victim of domestic violence. 

Men should have the self control to walk away or solve the disagreement in other ways other than brute force. 

Under no circumstances ever should a man strike a woman, ever.

Thank you for your comment.

There is only three things that a woman won't put up with. A man that on drugs (Really bad). and a man that is beating on her. a man that is not bringing his money home. anything else she will put up with. Rihanna did say she was going through his calls on his cell phone. That she was upset with a female number that she seen. and she did hit him first. ""Look Chris was driving she could have made him have an accident". I put myself in Rihanna place and i wouldn't had came off as this real tough chick.

Rose, as I said before no one will really know what happened until the court case.  Maybe Chris Brown let Rihanna use his cell phone from time to time and forgot to delete the message.  Maybe the call from Chris Brown's manager just came in as Rihanna picked up his cell phone and he did not have a chance to delete the message.  I agree with you that women should not tolerate a man who is on drugs, a man who beats on her and a man who is stingy with his money.  Also few women tolerates cheating and the list can go on and on.  However, in a fit of an emotional reaction, there is little space for rational thinking unless one of them had used self control.  I still do not blame the victim, which is Rihanna for what happened to her from the hands of Chris Brown.  The victim is rarely the cause of the offense, just the person there when anger erupts and "takes" the punches. The results of a cell phone message could have been handled in a myriad of ways. Chris Brown had the choice in one split second to man up and not beat on a woman. By the look of the photo, Rihanna received more than one punch so he was really wrenching his anger on her. Why he went for the face, I do not know but usually that is where the punches land as indicated in past domestic abuse cases. The woman who was shot in the face is still going through surgey to get back her looks. Anger, victimization and notoriety made the tabloids happy and left two people desperately needing professional counseling.

You can't talk around the fact that she started it.  True men shouldn't hit women.  Life isn't a second take. both of them wish they could have control themself better. I am sure if she goes to trail, she won't hesitate to say she throw the first punch. Her face look like she had been crying which took off all her make-up. I had a girlfriend who would come to work with no make-up on. to support her case that she was sick. So she could go home.

Rose, thank you again for your comment.  I am glad to see that you agree that the court case will have to proceed to find out if in fact Rihanna "threw the first punch."  However, it is inconceivable that Rihanna faked any of her injuries. You seem to  indicate that Rihanna's injuries were fake with reference to the coworker's lack of make up to look sick to take off from work. 

Also, I appreciate your quote that a "true man" would not hit a woman.
