My thread by the way is a joke...I don't think for a second Jay-Z is gonna do a damn thing because he's not. He's a business man not a hood anymore if he was one in the first place, this is about making money and it's in both Chris and Rihanna future financial status this will play out ... they both need and will - people will make sure of it - make money out of this and go back to normal service asap....

The people getting in the way of good business is the police...this is why Rihanna and Chris are lying low...

You've seen pics?!

NaughtyKitty said:

The fake ones ...yeap the whole world has seen them...

NaughtyKitty said:

Apparently that have been photoshopped.

SoulAlive said:

That's bogus.
Too hard to prove without a weapon, and how would you show intent? He obviously could have done more damage but left the scene so . . . .

SoulAlive said:

Yeah, his wife is all down with him fighting for Rihanna's honor . . .

SUPRMAN said:

Hey when you have a sheriff going after phelps cause there's a pic of him with a bong I'm sure the LAPD will do what they want. I have no problem with an attempted murder charge, if he choked her to she passed out.

totaldiva said:

If she were also from an abusive background shouldn't she get counselling as well?
I guess it's only men that need to learn to keep their hands to themselves. . . .

lazycrockett said:

I don't think he choked her.
The initial reports don't mention it and later the police claim there were hand marks still on her arm.
If he'd choked her, the impressions would still be on her neck and more than likely turn to bruises. Hard to miss.
I think that is why he hasn't been charged yet (except to gratuitously initiate a potential case - a placeholder if you will), they don't have a clear story.

Ain't this a bitch...I google "Rihanna black eye" and these fools pop up:

ain't nobody lookin for them!

Not the first time Chris Brown abused me, Rihanna tells police: report
By George Rush In New York and Nancy Dillon In Los Angeles
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS

Pop princess Rihanna reportedly has told cops that boyfriend Chris Brown had a history of abusing her even before a weekend attack that left her bruised and bloodied.

Citing a confidential police file, TMZ.com reported Thursday that Rihanna told investigators Brown's violence was ongoing - and escalating.

No details of prior abuse were given.

Brown's attorney Mark Geragos has declined comment.

As the Daily News first reported, the shocking fight that landed Rihanna in the hospital ignited when Brown got a suggestive text message from another young woman following a pre-Grammy party Saturday night.

"He got a booty call. He got a text. Rihanna saw it and she got upset. They started to argue. She got out of the car. He wanted her to get back in, so he grabbed her," the well-placed music industry source said.

"She pulled away. That's when she's told people he hit her," the source said.

Rihanna, 20, had "visible injuries" when cops arrived, and she's been cooperating with the investigation while freezing out Brown, the source said.

When Rihanna gave him the cold shoulder, Brown's friends passed along signs of remorse, saying the 19-year-old R&B sensation "feels very bad."

Brown, meanwhile, is due for another interview with investigators building a case against her boyfriend. He was booked on suspicion of making criminal threats Sunday night and released on $50,000 bail.

According to TMZ's review of the police report, Rihanna took the keys out of the ignition of the couple's rented Lamborghini and enraged Brown when she "faked a call" to someone during the fight, saying something like "he's dropping me off," and "make sure the cops are there."

That's when Brown spat out, "I'm going to kill you," TMZ reports, citing the police report.

Another source disputed suggestions the sultry singer was asking for trouble by stealing the keys or making provocative statements.

"Sadly, someone is trying to portray her as the aggressor. She's no shrinking violet but there's no reason to believe she went crazy," the source said.

Ironically, both stars are up for one of NAACP's Image Awards. Brown is up for the same prize he won last year - outstanding male artist. Rihanna is in the running for outstanding female artist.

It's unclear whether either star plans to attend the ceremony, which takes place on Thursday.

U can find this version of the song if U look for it.

All of them need to shut the fuck up.

LondonStyle said:

That makes a lot of sense, considering Rhianna had a scheduled concert to do before this incident.

I'm sure that many of us has been in situations where the relationship wasn't going no where and you try so hard to hold on. I agree with SUPRMAN that Rhianna should have kept her hands to herself, considering this may have happened, and I am not justifying Chris Brown's actions. If a man don't want you, he just don't want you. All you're doing is drawing the man closer to the other woman and away from you. Maybe there's a nice American or Caribbean man in her native island that will treat her right.

SUPRMAN said:

Yeah,apparently this wasn't the first time that Chris has hit her.There's a report that she attended a party in early December,with visible bruises on her neck.

Has anyone here ever seen Chris Brown give interviews? He's borderline retarded. As such he should be able to get off on diminished responsibility.

SCNDLS said:

I mean,

SUPRMAN said:

WTF??? asking for trouble?

StarCat said:

And I was sooo wondering why she was wearing an eye patch when she would have to maneuver through such a set. I thought it was a nod to Mad Max but now

Fans React To People Blaming Rihanna For Alleged Altercation With Chris BrownMTV will air 'Chris Brown & Rihanna: Love In Trouble' Monday, February 16 at 6 p.m. ET/PTBy Gil Kaufman

The news about Chris Brown's alleged assault on girlfriend Rihanna has clearly touched a nerve with the public. Judging from the hundreds of comments readers left on our story about why some people are blaming Rihanna for the alleged incident and another about reports that this isn't the first time the couple's relationship has allegedly gotten physical, whatever happened last Sunday morning, you want to talk about it.

(MTV will air "Chris Brown & Rihanna: Love In Trouble" — an in-depth look at the allegations of domestic violence that Brown faces, featuring journalists, industry professionals and an in-studio audience of young fans — Monday, February 16 at 6 p.m. ET/PT.)

The range of emotions runs the gamut, from those agreeing that Rihanna should not be made a scapegoat in this saga, to others begging for a story about how, "media commonly condemns celebs before all the facts are out or before they have been convicted." Brown, 19, turned himself in and was booked on suspicion of making criminal threats in the incident, [LINK ] though the District Attorney's office kicked the case back to the police on Wednesday asking for more evidence. (Some comments have been edited and shortened for clarity.)

There were some disturbing, profanity-laced attacks on Rihanna, others targeting Brown, as well as comments like those from "JoyinSF," who wrote, "You can stand behind an artist because of their music, but you cannot stand beyond bad decisions that hurt other people. There are men who are abused by their girlfriends and wives too, but still, both ways, abuse is wrong and I'm glad we can finally shed light on an issue that so many women around the world suffer in silence. No one deserves abuse and they did not bring it upon themselves."

Others raised speculation that there is more to the story than we know, such as "ThusSpoke," who got into a heated exchange with some other posters and suggested, "You see it all the time TV and in the movies ... women slapping, kicking, pushing men like they have a license or some sort of special privilege to do so without repercussion. While it is accepted as not politically correct to hit a woman, people seem to not find particular exception to men being physically assaulted be women. Double standard? I am always offended by any abuse towards either sex. Equality of the sexes works both ways. How do we know she is not the one that attacked him and he simply protected himself? Perhaps he is the victim."

Neither Brown nor Rihanna has made a public statement to date and their spokespeople have not returned multiple requests for comment.

A number of comments were pleading with fans and the media to wait until the facts come out , such as "noneofyourbusiness2," who said, "Maybe EVERYONE should stop speculating and wait until 1 of the two come out publicly and explain what happened." Others had more selfish reasons for hoping both singers are okay and make it through this difficult time. "In all honesty! I'm prayin for both of them cuz NOBODY knows what really went down!," said "Courtneee'. "I'm more worried bout the MUSIC than anything else."

There were readers who questioned the many tabloid news sources that are primarily driving the story — "I don't think TMZ has any real 'sources' they're just saying that to make it 'legal,' " wrote "DKFAN" — others who said the chain of events as portrayed in those tabloid tales simply don't make sense — "if you in a car how can you hit someone why your driving and not run into something?" "Mz. Dixon" asked — and those who are mad at the radio stations who've banned Brown's music.

"They don't even know what really happened that is so childish and doesn't make sense so darn stupid," wrote "anonymous." "We should all stop listening to the radio stations or TV channels that does this all together ... this is his personal life it's not suppose to have anything to do with it business wise."

Another anonymous poster, who claimed to be from a home where there was domestic violence, begged for the media to stop bringing up the interviews in which Brown has talked about the alleged domestic abuse he saw his mother endure when he was a child. "That has nothing to do with anything that happened between them," "anonymous" wrote. "It is so annoying, coming from a home of domestic violence does not define who you will turn out to be ... there are people who come from violent homes and they turn out to be very good people and vice versa there are people who come from very good homes and now are criminals so what is the point you guys are trying to make?? This has nothing to do with the situation whatsoever."

While few could agree on how they felt about the issue, a majority did second the words of "Chiquita," who wrote, "No woman ever deserves to be hit. Shame on any of you for thinking you can justify abuse. If he felt he was treated wrongly, there were plenty of other options than hitting."

"Chris Brown & Rihanna: Love In Trouble" airs Monday, February 16 at 6 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

She was not wearing a patch before or after the performance during the AMAs.

WaterInYourBath said:

Well, that's good to know. Just an odd costume choice I guess.

They said the eye patch was due to a scratched cornea. A good friend of mine had a scratched cornea last Summer and she's still suffering. Spent a whole week in hospital, had a dilated pupil for about 2 months looking like Marilyn Manson so couldn't let in any light and even though it looks OK now she has to have laser treatment to get her sight fully back in that eye.

Wearing an eye patch once doesn't heal something like that & she certainly wouldn't be going on stage night after night with all those strobe lights.
