I get what you're saying. I have a tendency to go off on little feminist rants. Domestic violence is a topic that gets me pretty wound up.

Haven't gone through it myself but have had close friends go through it. Glad to hear your situation turned out well.

I totally agree. It's so easy for people who are outside looking in to say "Leave him!" "Never take him back" But, when you really love someone it's not that easy. And I truly believe that people really can change & hopefully he will get the help he needs & if they stay together (which I am sure they will) hopefully they will both be wiser & this will never happen again. But, only time will tell.....

It's probably unlikely that he will face jailtime or have too many charges due to that photo leaking. It will be hard to find impartial witnesses...so stupid of the whoever that was on the LAPD that released that. So, Hopefully CB will still get the help he needs to deal w/ his anger management issues and learn how to deal w/ his problems w/o using violence. He's young, so I pray that this will be a learning experience, albeit, a sad,hurtful, and preventable one.
And hopefully Ri Ri will get the help she needs to deal properly w/ what's happened to her, and as Tish said, be a wiser survivor.

can't say i'm surprised. didnt tina take ike back after all those times he beat her and then showered her with gifts?
terrible cycle. i'm just glad that i personally know i deserve better than any dude who chooses to put his hands on me. i hope if this rumor is true, rihanna wises up. because that's some bullshit.

I don't take these rumors too seriously because you never what's really happening. So, he's gotten Herpes from her, choked her unconcious and now wants her back....it's a soap opera at this point and quite cliché. Hopefully, together or apart, they both get the help that they need.

None of us know the circumstances or what occurred....It does not mean you are not wise or stupid if you stay after they hit you...You are not wise if you stay and allow it to happen again and again...Or you stay when they do not seek help and forgiveness for their actions.. Everyone is on the outside looking in...Until you have walked in a person's shoes you cannot say exactly what you would or would not do. The Heart is more powerful than the mind....and Most women think with their heart...which is not always a bad thing...and not necessarily a good thing. I think it is her life and just like everyone else she deserves to make her own choices and her own life mistakes based on what she thinks is best for her. We are just Fans.....Our opinions on their lives have no merit at the end of the day.

Ne-Yo On Rihanna And Chris Brown| News Video | MTV
Feb 23 2009 7:28 PM EST
"I wanted to talk to them before I made a comment," he said about the much-publicized incident that occurred several hours before the Grammy Awards on February 8. "I spoke to Rihanna. She says she's fine. She didn't go into detail about what happened. I understand it's a painful situation; I didn't push."
Like so many of Rihanna's fans, friends and family members, Ne-Yo said he was grief-stricken after viewing the recently leaked photo of a bruised and apparently battered Rihanna shortly after her altercation with Brown.
"I saw the picture," he said solemnly. "That just really — that hurt me to my heart, man. Again, I still don't know what happened, 'cause I haven't had the opportunity to talk to Chris yet. But to take it to that level really hurt my heart. All I can say is, I'm praying for both of them. They're both in my prayers. I haven't had a chance to talk to Chris yet. I just wanna sit down and talk to that dude and just explain if he doesn't understand: 'That's not something that's excusable, bruh. You have to get a little smarter about whatever it is going on in your relationship. You have to get a little smarter about how you handle certain situations.' "
Still, Ne-Yo refused to be Brown's judge and jury. "I'm not going to crucify him," Ne-Yo said. "I'm not going to do that. That's still my homeboy at the end of the day. For it to go to that level was wrong. I won't say who was responsible. I won't pick no sides. I'm just saying it was wrong [that] it had to happen like that, and I'm praying for the both of them."
Ne-Yo has had very close ties to Brown and Rihanna. In 2006, Brown and Ne-Yo co-headlined a tour that featured Lil Wayne and Juelz Santana. In 2005, Ne-Yo and Rihanna became two of the main pieces of the Def Jam puzzle when then-president Jay-Z had a hand in signing both acts. Ne-Yo penned his duet with Rihanna "I Hate That I Love You."

^^I was thinking the same thing...Like How does jail time for him teach lessons for all the men who are habitual domestic violence abusers. However it will teach..that you can't hit a celebrity and get away with it...Women are beaten every single day in this world and it will not stop with Chris Brown being sent to jail. Of course, these women don't get the publicity celebrities do...so no one cares....that they are most times beaten to a pulp and left for dead in some cases. Their constant cries for help go unheard....But a celebrity doesn't even cry for help and it is dropped off at her door steps daily even if it is not wanted. Nope this will not change anything in the world IMHO

got this from theybf.com, which also stated CB began anger management classes on Monday.
| In Touch has confirmed that Rihanna has not pressed charges against her alleged attacker, Chris Brown, as of now: “We do not have enough evidence and there have been no charges filed on the Chris Brown case,” a spokesperson in the Los Angeles DA’s office tells In Touch. But Chris is not necessarily out of hot water, even if Rihanna never files charges. “If the state gathers up enough evidence, we will press charges with or without her testifying. It is not up to the victim.” With a March 5 arraignment date set in LA for Chris, 19, In Touch has also learned that Rihanna does not have to make an appearance at the courthouse. “She will not have to show up during the arraignment,” the spokesperson says. |

Wow, choked her until she was unconscious? His history doesn't exactly paint him as an angel. The whole thing smacks of spin and bullshit with his statements and I hope he is made accountable.
I'm sad that she isn't pressing charges on behalf of the many other non-celebrity women who are beaten and abused.

I'm sure a lot of women in the same situation are looking up to her about this- it's crazy how people will or won't do something because of a celebrity.
I was hoping she would press charges and other women would be inspired to do the same.
