This guy blew away $300,000,000 dollars his net worth in his whole entire career. At least someone answered your question, but I often wonder did she also dated Eddie Murphy back in the day.

DesireeNevermind said:

She said that in the interview. I certainly agree that he shouldn't have beat her up but honestly, I also think she may have provoked it deliberately as a way out with all his money.

DesireeNevermind said:

lol.....I forget but Dave was MAD as hell.

angel345 said:

The list was L O N G.....

If the story of Chris Brown and Rihanna teaches us anything, it's that the cloak of celebrity can't protect against violence and abuse. And the statistics on partner abuse bear that out: One in four women will be a victim of domestic violence in their lifetime.



And young women, like Rihanna, are at the greatest risk. What's more, women who have been victims of choking, as Rihanna allegedly was, are twice as likely to later be killed by their partners as those who were attacked but not choked.

Unfortunately, Rihanna is not the first celeb to find herself in a potentially abusive pairing. Search reveals others:

Diane Lane: In 2004, shortly after she married actor Josh Brolin, police arrested Brolin on misdemeanor domestic battery charges. Lane refused to press charges.

Madonna: In 1988, her former husband Sean Penn was charged with felony domestic assault after hitting her. She later filed for divorce.

Tina Turner: The story of her violent 16-year marriage to Ike Turner was told in the film "What's Love Got to Do With It." (Charges were never filed, and Ike reportedly admitted to only occasionally hitting his wife.)


Is someone you know in an abusive relationship? (Search for signs.)


What can you do to help? (Search for support.)

Diane Lane is still married to Josh Brolin

Madonna said years after her divorce from Penn that he was the love of her life.

Pamela Anderson took Tommy Lee back twice and the 3rd time she left it was because they just grew apart. He never had any other girlfriend (including Mayte) accuse him of abuse after that.


Maybe,,,just maybe,,,some dudes do see the errors of their ways and get help. Maybe Rihanna sees something the rest of us don't.

Wow!

DesireeNevermind said:

For her sake, I hope that's true but only time will tell and it indeed will!

DesireeNevermind said:

Sean Penn was a no-nonsense type of guy and didn't take Madonna's mess.

angel345 said:

he tied Madonna to a chair or some shit...that was always oddly funny to me.

DesireeNevermind said:

Yeah, that was the last straw before they called it a day.

For those who didn't see it, here's the show with Robin and Joy:

Yeah i think she caught a lot of backlash which was not warranted.
The problem was mike tyson was the world's heavyweight boxing champ and
that's all most people cared about but when other dirt started to unravel
about this fool and people saw his true colors, they saw robin givens wasn't
just making shit up or gold digging as people would say.

Robin Givens didn't get half the shitty backlash that Desiree Washington got. I heard she had to leave the country cuz folks was hating on her so bad. At least she wasn't a gold diggin actress like Robin....but oh well. Mike was the man at one time. I feel sorry for Robin that her career suffered b/c of being divorced from him.
