I loveee that chris brown is keeping it postive. In his interview he followed protocal to the T. Objective: to let that crazy b*tch make herself look crzy wit all that negative bullsh*t and let everyone fall back in love wit him as an artist. He kept his mouth shut, praised her, and took the L. apologzing for (probably) half the 'ish he didnt do. Not that he shouldnt be accountable for what he DID DO! Buht i personally think alot of the story got blown out of proportion. Alot of things havent been adding up from the time this story was "fresh" in magazines up until now. The story has changed and told differently from start to finish.
First, Rihanna claimed the pictures of her face after that night were fake, then real, fake and then real again. Then it was said that she was hitting on him, and confirmed in "Source" magazine by both of their body guards that Rihanna would get jealous over other girls backstage around Chris. It was said, she would start arguments or behave possessively, and that she would hit on him. On top of that she dropped the charges, and went back to him afterward. Both of them seen canoodling on Diddys yacht, and then she changes her mind and goes through with the charges because a claim had already been made. Please! After everything was said and done I didnt know what to believe from Rihanna. What example are you being or setting for young girls going through abuse everyday (not just one time-mind you) when you cant get your story straight about a man that put his hands on you. Quickly, her team had her playing the (complete and total) victim feeding off the sympathy from fans to distract them from finding out just how much of a regular, emotional black (island)woman she really is (underneath all that superstardum) with the abuse card.
Like seriously! As if Chris Browns publicist would allow him to destroy his career by going back and forth on a senstive subject like abuse with a "loved" R&B artist like Rhianna from Barbados. I mean she has a whole country backing her, and Chris wasnt in this thing with just Rihanna, but with every woman in the world who'd ever been involved in any type of abuse. For months all news, reality tv, Cable tv, magazines, and newspapers could talk about was abuse, and Chris Brown. Rihanna was concerned with saving her career, and since she definitley had the upperhand in the situation based on the fact that she's a female she worked on her image, and not her relationship. Im not saying Chris is completely innocent because what he did was wrong regardless if it was a grab, smack, or punch to the face. Im saying that he got no say from the beginning about what happend because explaining his side of the story would only seem as though he was defending his actions or making excuses for his behavior.
I've drawn these conclusions about Rihanna based on the inconsistancy of her whole story and her relationship with Chris. For her to feel so "strongly" about the subject and then go on live T.V. (after its all said and done) almost a year later and bring up "NEGATIVE" press on Chris after she went back to him right after the incident happend doesnt sit well with me about her integrity. As a prominent figure in the entertainment business regardless of how "in love" you claim to be. You cant feel "strongly" and behave in such a manner as she did and has been about an issue like abuse and then go back to Chris right after the fact especially if she wasnt threatend or forced to do so.
Another thing is that Chris Brown has been in the entertainment buisness for some time now and im sure he has dated more women than just Rihanna. For four years he was a huge R&B star and there were no signs of abuse or record of extreme anger that was made public to his fans or rumored. Which makes me assume that on a regular basis he's not an out of control aggressive person as she described him to be that night. I believe he just snapped and went overboard. Hes a superstar under alot of pressure, press, and stress. Even claimed in Source Magazine their body guards mentioned that both of the stars are constantly under alot of pressure and scrutiny. While Rihanna also didnt have many past disgressions besides the relationships that didnt last long, and the rumored Jay-z/Rihanna affair I would think of her as a soft spoken bad girl. Although she is a prominent figure in the R&B world that doesn't give her the right to take advantage of a situation for "attention" or "spiteful" support from fans against Chris Brown. Not once did she stand up and take his defense in any way for him to be the man she loves(ed), and regardless if her people advised her to play the part; at some point as Chris' woman she should've defended him. Not his actions, but him as a person, and told both sides of the story admitting to her faults as well as his.
Just as women shouldnt be disrespected or mistreated neither should men, they're people too and it shouldnt matter that their expected to control their anger like women. Men are just as sensitive if not more immature than women and if there's one emotion that their expected to show more outside of a female is patience. At some point biting the bullet can become extremely hard to do especially if their partner is contiuously overbearing, controlling, and jealous. Maybe if someone asked the right questions instead of going along with the stereotype then just maybe Rihanna wouldve been exposed too.
They both grew up around abusive relationships, but i dont think that reflects how they are as people or how they turn(ed) out as individuals. We all as human beings choose to be who we want to be. They both have good heads on their shoulders and have had to grow up faster than most teens because of the industry. At the end of the day no matter how grown up you are or how much of a celebrity. Maturity doesnt come with age it comes with experience. A female is a female, a male is a male, and sometimes unfortunately, just as all normal people superstar or not hormones kick in at the wrong time of the month or week and all hell breaks loose. Things happen that shouldnt and it causes great consequence. Honestly, Rihanna and Chris should've worked through it together being interviewed together, going to court together, going to therapy together, and doing interviews together. Each of them telling the story from they're own perspective. What they feel caused it, how it could've been avoided, their regrets, their expectations for the future as individuals (if they were seperating), and how young people can learn from a mistake. At then end of the day if your'e going to sell people some shit based on real life experiences, then be real about it and do it the right way.
No relationship is unsalvagable if the people truly are in LOVE or have a FRIENDSHIP beyond (as well as a friendship) their relationship. Despite what anyone thought,or came up with Rihanna couldve took a stance against what happend as well as been truthful about Chris as a boyfriend and their relationship. Basically my feeling on the issue is that nobody but Rihanna and Chris know what really happend or why. All we are as fans are 3rd, 4th, and 10th persons' recieving info on the subject after the story has changed through a chain of people.
The truth is beyond our grasp but i think that regardless of the truth or the lie regarding their relationship and breakup there was a greater lesson learned. A subject that the world needed to be hear reached women and men across the country and around the world. All forms of abuse whether it be big or small was addressed and although Chris was the sacrificial lamb and Rihanna the bait both are victims in my eyes and as their lives were exposed a greater cause was faced and many people around the country found help for their abuse.
RECENT UPDATE CHRIS AND RIHANNA 2010 <3 <3 <3 :p
Rihanna has since been linked to having sex and relationships with T.I., Drake, Jay-Z, and Matt Kemp. Reportly in "People" magazine the two (Matt Kemp and Rihanna) were vacationing together and pictures showed that Rihanna was all over Matt craving attention trying to grab his affection at every turn, but Matt wasn't feeling it. He told People that Rihanna is trying too hard to make their relationship public and have it appear to be something that it's not. He's not ready for anything serious with her because he's not trying to rush into a relationship that she has become aggressive and sensitive about them getting serious. Sound familiar?! :-/ Well on top of that it was also reported that Drake was dating Rihanna as well but for only a short period. Suspicians were that Rihanna was getting serious too quickly and Drake had too much going on and wasnt ready to committ and give her all the attention she desired. Maybe there is more to Rihanna that her and her team are trying to keep under wrap. Everything will come to light sooner than later because Hot 97 recently (March 2010) called Rihanna out with a list of One time affairs she's had over the past year (2009) and months (2010). It was brought to Chris' attention and apparently he and Rihanna got into an arguement. Guess not all of his feelings have gone deluded, but then again maybe its moreso the embarrassment than anything else. Dealing with so much scrutiny and having not gotten over everything that happend; to then on top of everthing else (hes still paying for) finding out your "EX" is an under cover industry hoe maybe more than disappointing.
MY THOUGHTS ON THE MUSIC VIDEOS:
After i heard Chris Brown announced his new video "Crawl" wasnt about Rihanna i watched it and thought it probably isnt about her now, but maybe back then when he wrote it, it definitley WAS. The video featured Cassie with her beautiful yet crazy half shaven head as Chris' "love interest." The song expressed the sorrow of not being with the person you love and struggling to put the pieces of a relationship back together when you realize your in love. Priceless! I love the anthem feel of it, the choreography, and its uplifting beat.

(Much better than the video concept for "I can transform you")
Rihanna on the other had a "deathly heartbreaker," to match the psycho lyrics to her new single "Russian Roulette." So far I've heard some men love it for the beat and the women because of the power in the song. The video features Rihanna in a padded cell, and then again sliding a loaded gun back and forth on a table to her "love interest" whom she tried so hard to resemble Chris as they play "the game" Russian Roulette. At the end of the video her "love interest" pulls the trigger one last time and "kills himself." It definitley makes you wonder.

At this point my feelings on Rihanna is i hope youve learned from this situation, and i hope you are selfless enough to forgive and forget. Stop with the negative publicity and move on with your career like Chris is trying to do because while most of your fans like your music, Im sure we'd all rather you drop it and spare us the drama.
