Rihanna

Recommended Posts

She the typical woman in an abusive relationship they always go back to the abuser, even the rich ones who have the money to leave. Sad.

They recant their statements to police, don't cooperate with investigators and prosecutors and when the case is dismissed, the cops and DAs are the bad guys for not being able to put the abuser behind bars. I hope she takes a good look at her photo - the bruises and cuts - and has the strength to walk away.

Mekhi Phifer on Chris Brown: "People Make Mistakes"

 

Los Angeles (E! Online) – Chris Brown's friend and onetime movie costar Mekhi Phifer says no matter what happens between Brown and Rihanna, he wishes "them both the best."

 

While not making any apologies for Brown's alleged assault, Phifer thinks his age, 19, was a big factor in what went down between the two singers.

 

"People make mistakes—and while I don't condone what happened that night, you know, what Chris did to her—I remember being young, 19, and at that age it seemed like everything was so over-the-top, and everyone's so passionate about things at the age," Phifer told us at this weekend's World Poker Tournament Invitational at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles.

 

Phifer and Brown costarred in the 2007 dramedy This Christmas. Phifer was also an executive producer of the flick, which told the story of a family that reunites for the holidays for the first time in four years.

 

Phifer says the Grammys eve incident will likely impact the singers' careers, but no one can predict how much and in what ways. "I think this whole thing will affect him, and I think it will affect her," he said. "With both of them, their fan base is mainly women and kids, so I don't know what kind of example that leads, but like I said, I wish them all the best."

 

Phifer has not spoken to Brown since the alleged assault and subsequent arrest, but says he has a "circle of people" to lean on.

 

Phifer hit the three-day poker event because proceeds from the tournament benefited the former ER star's charity, the Vine Group USA, a nearly 10-year-old organization that provides educational assistance throughout Africa.

I hate to say this outloud, but I will have zero sympathy for her when she gets the next ass whipping (and she will get one). She can afford to get away and get the best therapy, many other women are not that fortunate.

I was thinking she should take a good hard look at Whitney Houston.

I had this same thought yesterday on the long drive home from a work project out of town. I don't know enough about Rihanna (or Whitney) to know if there really are strong parallels, but I guess I'm not the only one who had the thought so maybe there's something to it.

Hilary Duff Wishes Rihanna 'All The Best'

 

 

Hilary Duff wishes Rihanna 'all the best' after she was allegedly assaulted last month by boyfriend Chris Brown.

 

Rihanna, 21, was left with two "huge contusions" on both sides of her forehead, a bloody lip and bloody nose following the altercation. Brown, 19, is due in court Thursday.

 

And Duff - who is reportedly eying a role in Twilight sequel New Moon - says she is thinking of the Umbrella hitmaker.

 

She tells American TV show Extra, "I wish her all the best.

 

"And I want to let girls out there know that it's never okay to be treated like that."

How Could Rihanna Take Back Chris Brown?

 

While Rihanna and Chris Brown's reconciliation after an alleged abuse incident has shocked family and friends, domestic violence experts say it's all too common for a woman to return – often repeatedly.

 

In fact, experts say, it's unrealistic to expect women not to go back to their abusers, be they husbands or boyfriends, as the victims grapple with feelings of guilt, fear, isolation – even love.

 

"It never surprises me," says Violent Partners author Linda Mills, who believes therapists and people close to couples in abusive relationships must accept this seemingly fact. "If you start with 'You shouldn't go back,' you very often lose the person [you are trying to help]. They won't talk to you."

 

Rihanna, 21, and Brown, 19, reunited last week in Miami about three weeks after he allegedly battered the singer early the morning of Feb. 8 in Los Angeles.

 

 

No Charges Yet Filed

 

Police continue to investigate the case and no formal charges have yet been filed against Brown, who was booked on a felony criminal threat charge. Brown has no known criminal background, and though people close to the pair say they've had a tumultuous relationship at times, there had never been any indication of violence until now.

 

After the arrest, Brown and Rihanna spent time apart. Brown released a statement at the time, saying, "Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired" and noted that he was "seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones."

 

According to experts, there was nothing surprising in the reunion between Brown and Rihanna, who after spending time in Miami both returned to Los Angeles on the same plane Monday morning.

 

 

Reconciliation Period

 

According to psychologist and author Lenore Walker, the average battered woman endures three to five violent incidents, from having her arm grabbed to an all-out beating, before she gives up on the relationship.

 

The reconciliation usually happens during what experts call the honeymoon phase in the cycle of violence, that cooling-down period after the attack when the abusive partner often expresses remorse and begs for forgiveness.

 

"The man is saying he's sorry, he didn't mean it, that it'll never happen again," says Walker. "It's the loving behavior that reinforces a woman to stay, because they believe the violent act isn't a true reflection of their man."

 

If anything, the victim will often blame herself – and the attacker will agree with her. "The abuser also tries very hard to convince the victim that the attack was their fault," says Dr. Elizabeth Miller, a Sacramento, Calif., pediatrician and domestic violence expert. "It's common to say, 'Honey, if you hadn't upset me, this would've never happened.' "

 

In many cases, financial pressures draw a woman back, particularly if she has children and doesn't work outside the home. But even among those with money, there's still "psychological warfare," says Jeffrey Gardere, a clinical psychologist. "[An abuser says:] I'm going to isolate you. I'm going to put you completely under my thumb, under my power so if you leave me, then you are going to be in big, big trouble because you won't be able to take care of the kids or yourself."

 

 

Isolation and Love

 

But it's love, in all its complexities, that can often be the most powerful force for reconciliation for a battered woman. "They have insight into somebody in a way that none of us do," says Mills, who runs a program in Arizona that brings together couples with family members and a volunteer from the community to talk over what actually happened in a domestic-violence event. The process usually goes on for months.

 

"The ideal might be that we can separate people who are in a violent relationship, but the problem is that that's not the reality," Mills says. "I address the reality, which is that people go back, and they're looking for avenues for the possibility of working through this issue like any other rupture in a relationship, working through this issue to the point where the violence could stop."

Police Report: Chris Brown Tried to Push Rihanna Out of Car

Thursday March 5, 2009

 

 

 

A new report details the play-by-play of Chris Brown's alleged assault of Rihanna taken directly from a Los Angeles Police Department detective's notes.

 

According to the notes, as reported by TMZ.com via Fox 11 in Los Angeles, the altercation began after Rihanna read a three-page text message on Brown's phone Feb. 8.

 

After she became angry, Brown tried to force Rihanna out of the car, but couldn't because she was wearing a seat-belt, according to detective's notes.

 

Brown became more violent, and then allegedly shoved Rihanna's head against the passenger window. After she turned to face him, Brown punched her, and continued punching her while driving, the notes continued.

 

Rihanna's mouth was filled with blood, which also splattered on her clothing and the inside of the rented Lamborghini they were driving.

 

According to the report, Brown told Rihanna: "I'm going to beat the ---- out of you when we get home. You wait and see."

 

Rihanna left a message for her assistant that said, "I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there."

 

Brown replied, "You just did the stupidest thing ever. I'm going to kill you."

 

The fight escalated from there. According to the report, Brown continued to punch Rihanna, bit her ear and fingers and put her in a headlock, causing her to nearly lose consciousness.

 

Brown will be arraigned in L.A. court today, and could be charged with any number of felonies, including domestic violence and making criminal threats. (Each carries a maximum of three years in state prison.)

 

Rihanna and Brown have since reunited. The pair hung out at P. Diddy's house in Miami over the weekend, and have been spotted in L.A. together this week.

 

"It's not easy to shut off a relationship she invested so much in," a source close to the "Umbrella" singer tells Usmagazine.com.

 

For more details on how Brown was able to woo Rihanna back, and how her family is worried sick about their reconciliation, pick up the newest issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

Rihanna & Chris' Secret Wedding

 

Posted Image

 

 

To the shock of many, Rihanna reunited with Chris Brown over the weekend — but they did more than that!

 

In the March 16 issue of Star — on sale now! — we report that the couple had a tearful face-to-face meeting at Diddy's $14.5 million Miami mansion, during which an emotional Chris apologized, begged for forgiveness and proposed to her on the spot.

 

"All she's ever wanted was to be with him forever," a source tells Star. "Rihanna is looking for the husband-and-two-kids deal before she turns 25. She believes in fairy tales, and she wants to live hers with Chris. She was totally up front and confessed to him, 'I can't live without you.'"

 

The pair wasted no time making Rihanna's fairy tale come true. They even called a minister to the mansion on exclusive Star Island!

that is a total crock of BS. She will lose fans due to them having no respect for her since she has gone back to him. I know she has lost me as a fan. It's too bad that her self esteem is so low she must feel she deserves nothing better than that piece of shit he is. So sad. Thats it for me... her music is dead from now on. And I am sure it will happen again...only a matter of time.

Rihanna reportedly has told cops she won't testify against Chris Brown after rekindling her romance with the R&B singer.

 

"She has had a change of heart and doesn't want the case to proceed," Britain's The Sun quoted a police source saying. California law allows prosecutors to charge a person with domestic violence, even if the couple reunites.

 

Meanwhile, TMZ.com reported cops turned over the case to the LA County prosecutor. Brown's in court today for his Feb. 8 arrest in a fight with Rihanna.

She's a dumbass.

It's too bad that the press will continue covering this drama. This sends such a bad message to young people. They both need help and should not be in the news.

EXCLUSIVE: Rihanna's Dad on Chris Brown: "Justice Can Never Be Served"

Thursday March 5, 2009

 

After Chris Brown was charged with two felonies Thursday for his Feb. 8 attack on Rihanna, her father tells Usmagazine.com exclusively, "Justice can never be served in this situation."

 

Adds Fenty, "He can't feel the pain she felt."

 

US: What was your reaction after hearing Chris Brown was charged with two felonies?

Fenty: I don't know how to react. Chris is a very talented guy. I still think he's a little immature for Rihanna. Justice can never be served in this situation. He can't feel the pain she felt. I don't believe in hitting a woman. I hope everything works out better for them. I don't feel happy or sad. He's in the court's hands. Let justice prevail.

 

 

US: Have you seen the new police report that details Brown biting, hitting and threatening to kill Rihanna?

Fenty: I haven't seen anything. I hear so many things. I don't know what to believe until I see it myself. Rihanna's mother is telling me that she hasn't heard anything from her [Rihanna]. She said the last she heard Rihanna was well.

 

US: If those reports are true, how upset are you?

RF: I don't know what to say, honest to god. I've been hearing so many stories. I don't feel any pain anymore. I've gone numb. I've heard so much. But I can't get on to her. Her mother can't get on to her, her brother told me she changed her email. Somebody has a stranglehold on her. I'm lost.

 

US: I know you've been speaking with your daughter over text. Is she no longer reachable?

RF: I'll text the old numbers she had, and I call them. One girl answered, and she said, "This is not Robin's number anymore." I asked, "Do you work for Robin? Do you deal with Robin?" And the girl hung up, so I don't know what's going on anymore. I'm lost.

 

Us: What was her last text to you?

RF: [she] said, "Daddy, I miss you." And that's it. And I could not reply. I saw a number and texted back, "I miss you too." And I didn't get another reply from her.

 

US: Obviously, you still support her.

RF: Yes, of course. Anyone in my family, I'm there for them. All of my kids, I'm there for them. Rihanna's no exception. All of them I would support. I would tell them where they go wrong, I'd chastise them when they do s--t, but to be honest with you they have their own life to live.

 

US: What would you say to Chris Brown if you saw him today?

RF: I would tell Chris, "Don't ever try again, don't even think about it." I'm hurt and disturbed at that scenario
