It wouldn’t surprise me if Rihanna and Chris Brown were married, and have been for months already

I agree with Jon Goode.

I feel sorry for these two young people. Perhaps they have not yet learned about respect. Respect on both sides. I have no clue as to what went down in this situation. I wasn’t there, but regardless…. Rihanna has to have enough respect for herself and her person to say “no more, never again” and mean it. Chris needs to have enough respect for his manhood and reputation to say the same. It has happened. Nothing can alter the events at that point.

However, having been the cousin, friend or sister girl who came in the middle of the night (usually Friday night late) to pick up a sister girl friend whose man has beat her down —- to both of them… If there is true real love here, this could not have gone down.

It’s unfortunate but for the younger generation, Rihanna and Chris are the modern day Tina and Ike.

I always like to believe in the possibility of reconciliation, however, in order for things to truly mend properly, I do feel time apart (and not 2 weeks) is definitely needed. Most importantly is the message that is being sent to public. Unfortunately, so many women who are in the same predicament will most likely use this as an excuse to stay in abusive relationships. I’m saddened when I think of a conversation I recently had with a high school student. In talking about her boyfriend, she said “he ‘just’ pulls my hair” or “he pushed me down the stairs, but it was only about four or five”, as she laughed it off. Chrihanna will just give this young girl, and so many others like her to down play situations like this. I can really see Chris Brown’s people jumping on this, by trying to show that Rihanna has forgiven him and moved on, and so should we. FOOLS IN LOVE!

I like the connection between Miles Davis and the current situation with Chris and Rihanna. I can call him Chris, right Sugar? Good job guys.

The crazy thing about this story is no one is 100% sure of what happened. We pretty much know that Chris whipped Rhianna’s ass and most of that evidence comes from his actions afterwards, the apology he issued, his seeking counseling (not professional counseling mind you but counsel from family and friends), and now he’s taking anger management courses. Now there is no excuse for him hitting her or for any man to ever hit a woman but I’ve heard there is a history of abuse in this relationship going the other way ie Rhianna constantly hitting and slapping Chris which if true should have prompted him leave way before he lost control. If not true and he just snapped off and went up side her head then like they say in What’s Love Got To Do With It “You only got to hit me once Ike,” and Rhianna should be long gone. But the heart is a tricky thing and people can convince themselves of all kinds of $#!T. I pray they both find a healing whether it be together or seperately and that a valuable and important life lesson is learned that they can take forward.
