inserting 2 cents here-
let me preface this by saying i have been a victim of abuse and so has my mother-both isolated incidents but nonetheless still damaging.
it is sad that this has happened and to two of the biggest stars in the music industry but what is the real story. all we are hearing is that chris brown beat rihanna and how she is so distraught and damaged-completely painting him as the monster. this story is one-sided and truly unfortunate for both stars.
we are hearing so much about both of them rihanna is jealous, she rubs her stardom in chris brown's face, and even that she is abusive (to some degree) and chris is immature, his star is fading, and he is abusive-all of this maybe true and if it is the two of them don't need this media shitstorm-they need REAL help. not the posh celebrity rehab they need gritty rehab like keyshia cole and her people go through.
i like chris brown and rihanna but they are both young and come from turbulent pasts-although not an excuse to be an asshole (this name is reserved for the both of them). in order to change they are going to need support from both family, friends, and fans-as this can ruin BOTH careers.
