ohh WHAT?? that's too sad

rip businessman from Chicago.

Back to the OT, when the heck is anyone from either Chris or Rihanna's team gonna make an official statement. I wanna know what the hell went down.

I did read this though:
Quote:

Law enforcement sources confirm to TMZ Chris Brown received a text message from a woman while he was driving with Rihanna and that's what started the confrontation that left Rihanna battered and bruised. We're told the text message was from a woman who wrote about hooking up with Brown later. We've also learned there is a reference in the police report to an argument over a rapper, but we've learned this is NOT what triggered the argument. The woman who text messaged Brown is not a rapper. As for Rihanna's injuries, we continue to learn more. Cops took multiple pictures at the scene. Chris Brown allegedly hit Rihanna so hard with his fists, she could barely open her eyes for the photos -- they were almost completely swollen shut. She had a fat lip, her mouth was swollen, her nose was badly bloodied, and she had contusions on her forehead and both sides of her face.

Agree 100%.

I feel that if Chris was acting in 'self defense' (yea friggin' right) he or his camp would have said something by now. If he had marks, if she hit him and if she started it, wouldn't he want to get that out there? I doubt he would just lay in wait, especially with all of this media coverage labeling him like this. He would also have to have told law enforcement if that was the case, which would also probably be leaked shortly thereafter.

He didn't crash the car, there are pictures of it in the impound and it's completely in one piece. I guess what escalated the fight was Rihanna throwing the lambo keys out of the window...was that childish and immature of her to do? Absolutely. Did it warrant him beating her as badly as he did? Hell no.

eta: while you do have to read tabloids with a huge grain of salt, TMZ is one of the most accurate ones out there. They've also helped law enforcement and have been a help in the court room. As well as most of their sources actually being law enforcement. If anyone's getting the story 'straight' (I say that loosely, I do feel that none of them are the WHOLE story), it's likely to be TMZ.

I don't actually take any of them at 100% even TMZ....gossip is gossip....

I doubt that either one of them are going to make statements at the advice of their attorney.

 

[Dreamergirl3]

^Neither do I. No tabloid is worth taking 100%, as I've mentioned. But I do feel that as far as accuracy is concerned they're the top contender.

 

[carandru]

All I can say is wait until the real story comes out. There's definitely 3 sides to it: his, hers, and the mofo truth b/c we all know NEITHER one of them is telling all of it.

And generally, NO, a man shouldn't ever hit a woman. However, ALL of the men I know would be hard pressed to sit there and take an ass whooping regardless of the gender of the person delivering it. I'm not saying that is the case, just say we don't know if it's NOT.

I mean, we are hearing all kinds of stories w/ holes in them so we know the truth isn't out yet. Both of these guys have bruises and bite marks so how do you know who really started it? And the car was towed from the scene AND we haven't seen photos, so who know if they did crash? Hell, one story said Chris had a chick w/ him and SHE was the one who beat up Rhianna. I mean, it's crazy and I feel bad for both of these two.

I know WAY too many chicks who think "A man shouldn't hit a woman" = "I can hit a man and he can't do Sh**". Be real. My daddy most certainly taught me that a man should respect me and not lay his hands on me, ever. But, he also taught me that trying to fight someone bigger, faster, and stronger than me if probably not the best idea...and I should probably have a weapon.

I hope that, regardless of the truth, both of these guys get some SERIOUS counseling because I'm sure this situation could have been avioded.

 

[M.A.C. head.]

I'm a huge Rihanna fan, but I'm not going to sit here and feel bad for her completely, because I know she probably did something that made him fly off the handle like that. I'm not saying that what he did was justified, but just like carandru was saying, some women think they can do some wild shit and that a man can't...and shouldn't do anything back. Naw! Maybe she DIDN'T hit him, but some people [women too] are just ticking time bombs. Maybe they were arguing and she said that ONE thing...ya'll know...the completely below the belt thing that would just send someone off the deep end. I feel terrible that she got beat, but she isn't miss innocent.

 

[User35]

wow...8 pages...thats a lot of words. I cant keep up. I guess there was a big hoopla about my opinion about that bently suicide, i guess sometimes you have to have a weird sense of humor to deal with it all. Im really not heartless, or completely insensitve. IDK. Its hard to explain. It might of sounded insensitve but I have some tact when it comes to real deal things im involved with like today there was a suicide and our CI or coroner couldnt ID the body, so she cut off the 2 thumbs and forefingers and sent them with me to the jail to roll em on our Identix machine and see if there was a match. I didnt make one joke.No intent of offending anyone..really. Anywho enough about that hitting although it is a horrible thing, its unfortunately common. Not making it acceptable in the least, but what really yanks my chain is biting......seriously biting ??? come on Chris Brown. You gotta be a special kind of F*&Ked to freaking bite someone. Thats so unsanitary and nasty.

o well Im rambling its late, and again ladies and gents, I'll be the first to say I F*%&ed up so I opolgize if my comment sounded harsh or offended someone. I'll try my best to keep my outta the box ideas to myself...they really arent for everyone.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

This story is crazy!

All I know...hmmm I dunno. Ive been through situations where I was so angry and hurt and mad that I did hit a man, and I got hit and bruised in return. I dont think anyone should put their hands on anyone else, but nobody REALLY knows what went down in this story, so I dont really know what to say yet.

I would have never guessed anything like this would happen. Its just...very dramatic. I must say....

What kinda man bites somebody? LOL...thats just....odd.

I really feel sorry for her because I dunno what she could have done to deserve to get beaten like that. By Chris Brown? He doesnt even seem like the type

I wish someone would come out with the entire story already! theres no point in hiding anything, the whole world has heard the allegations already

 

[TISH1124]

Well the only way I can see biting someone is if they have a killer grip on me and that is the only way to get their hands loose...I have not read above the previous post...But ET tonight reported that the text message he received on the phone the night of the incident was from Paris Hilton asking him to come hang out....LOL ....Paris is always in the news somehow

The point of hiding is...I am sure their will be a plea agreement for a lesser charge so it is not going to be discussed in public and personally I don't blame them on that note

That makes absolutely no sense to me. *ETA* Couple that with his background, her jealousy (which makes 2 tempers), their youth and the assumption that he's hit her before.....he's not sitting thru a dinner and music, holding an asswhipping back, IMO.

Doesn't make much sense does it.... alot of people get cold sores on their lips, it doesn't mean that the person has an STD.

But they both come from abusive homes... they both just may be hot blooded and he just lost control. Then too, you never know what he's on. He could be doing coke or be on them roids... you never know.

Regardless, he lost control... and if this were a situation with two men where one lost control and commensed to whippin a dudes arse he could be brought up on assault charges..

period.

he shouldn't have done it

 

[TISH1124]

Oh yeah ...and also on ET ...they said she was knocked unconscious during the altercation and when she woke up he was long gone and she then called for help. And they said at this time she is cooperating fully with police but she has not pressed formal charges against him that is why he was allowed out on bail because they could onlt press charges on behalf of the state.

All I know is if someone knocked my ass unconscious and beat the holy crap out of me ....I certainly would not hesitate to press charges...Did on my ex EVERY single time...kept going back...But I kept his name on the record books every time he dared!

If that's the case then we're all in danger from our significant others. Heated arguments are a part of any long term relationship. Doesn't give anyone an excuse to bust someone else across the head. We don't say that even when two dudes get into it. We always say .. damn why can't you be a bigger man.. why can't you just walk away.. it's not worth it.

Chris Brown actions will cost him more than anything she could have said. He's already lost two endorsements
and he's lost alot of peoples respect , including other industry cats

 

[TISH1124]

In the words of Carandru...there are 3 sides to every story and none of us witnessed or knows what happened...so being judge and jury without facts is pointless

He like all the other bad boy celeberties will go on and keep it movin they always do....The public is very forgiving even when they shouldn't be...All people are human and they are young and made horrible mistakes

Hell nobody even thinks about R Kelly, Lil Kim etc....they just do the time and keep producing and making money

 

[TISH1124]

R&B/Pop sensation Rihanna, unlike Chris Brown, is holding on to endorsement deals including CoverGirl and doing 'just fine' Wednesday. According to CoverGirl, Rihanna's ads will continue to run as scheduled despite the ongoing investigation being conducted by the LAPD. CoverGirl sources, who spoke late Tuesday, say "Out of respect for our CoverGirls, we do not share information regarding their personal lives."

In addition to CoverGirl repping the "Don't Stop The Music" star, the singer's grandmother says her granddaughter is 'fine' according to local Barbadian newspaper Daily Nation.

"Rihanna is fine and she is doing well," says grandmother Clara Brathwaite.

As reported Tuesday, Rihanna is said to be in full cooperation with investigators.

However, in a disturbing update, Rihanna is said to have told investigators that Chris Brown said "I'm going to kill you" during their alleged altercation.

An unidentified source, who spoke with E!, claims Rihanna became angry and threw Brown's keys out of the car during their alleged argument at 12:30am. As a result of Brown not being able to find the keys, the source says Brown went into a rage and put his hands around her neck.

While story after story is being leaked through outlets such as E! and Access Hollywood, legal experts say domestic cases like this tend to fall apart when the victim refuses to testify.

In Brown's case rumored photographs taken at the scene may, according to attorney Alexandra Leichter, be enough to convict.

Los Angeles Police Department Investigators, as reported Tuesday, have been asked to conduct further investigation into the weekend's alleged incident, according to a statement issued from the LAPD.

Chris Brown is due in court next month.

If chris was self defending himself he didnt have to lay a single punch on her... A lot of guys could just secure my body and have a tight grip on my arms and i would be frozen solid!!! Rhianna is skinny..! And if she did hurt him at one point, her punches or scratches or whatever arent nearly as lethal as his are...

I don't think it's a matter of being skinnier or not.
Hysteria, for example, is completely unmanageable...
