Posted by Bossip Staff

Rihanna Rated R

What better time for Rihanna to finally start speaking about the incident between her and Breezy, then right when her album is about to drop. This girl has been in a really dark place and it’s finally time for her to shed some light on the situation…

Flip the Lid for Color

She still has a lot of pain inside, that she needs to get out. The full interview airs on Friday, so we will definitely be tuned in for that.

  2. Goddess☀iLy

    good..im tired of listening to Chris sorry self

  3. Man, I just don't care™

    This abusive azz woman here…

  4. jk

    I am glad that he decided to speak out, like she said her decisions whether she likes it or not does affect young girls who maybe in the same situation and look up to her.

  5. anumi

    I love black & white dating at ((( SeekInterracial.CoM ))) now and find out why so many Interracial marriages start with at ____ SeekInterracial.Com ___. Our unique service offers features such as Interracial chat, send text messages, e-cards and even SMS to potential Interracial matches.

  6. CanadianChick

    TEAM RIRI!!!

  7. jk

    I am glad that she decided to speak out, like she said her decisions whether she likes it or not does affect young girls who maybe in the same situation and look up to her.

  8. Nique

    I suggest that Chris beat the crap back IN her bc she wasnt acting like Manson until he IKE’D her.


  9. It’s not looking good for you Christopher Maurice Brown… SMH

  10. The Bear...YES I'm BACK

    Sad that she’s only being vocal about the incident now that she wants publicity for her CD. That kinda takes away from her credibility as an advocate.

  11. Greg

    I think it safe for Chris’s team too throw her under the bus know..she out for self…I say tell er’thing kid…

  12. cee

    SHE’S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, FEMALES IF YOU ARE IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP, THINK WITH YOUR BRAINS ABOUT THAT IKE ***** NI@@ AND NOT WITH YOU HEART OR YOUR KITTY KAT

  13. Woah!

    Stay strong girl…

  14. Brooklyn, Stand UP! (2009 World Series Champions)

    Let’s Go Yankees!!!!

  15. blackbeltshopper

    So she confirmed that she took him back for a minute..I’ll just chalk it up to her age when she said f_ love…she was in a strong like for dude because Love dont hurt nor disappoint.and I’m glad she left Chris. I dont hate him but they dont need to be together.

  16. shavondenise

    Damn Chris!! 8 or 9 times??? I just hope that she isnt on any of that Robin Givens stuff when back in the day Robin put on a show for Barbara Walters at the expense of Mike Tyson. I mean he says that he just snapped & he never hit her before and she says that he has ???? I dont kno who to believe and no one will ever know the truth all we have is the pics & obviously he was WRONG!!! I will still support Chris because he is young and I dont believe in crucifying people being that the Polanski’s, the Woody Allens, and the R. Kelly’s are walking around her as rapist!! He made a horrible mistake but if it happens again than I will reconsider NOT supporting him. And of course I will always support Rihnanna because this took alot of courage & she is one of the flyist chicks in the game!!

  17. Samantha

    She is only go say so much because both of them were abusive in this relationship and her true colors are surfacing everyday Chris Brown has nothing to do with her being in a dark place. Anytime a young woman does an interview and brag about hitting he own brother across the head with a bottle has always been in a dark place. I’m not going to watch the interview because it BS a publicity stunt.


  18. Be strong Rihanna! Your fans love you…
    …and success is the greatest revenge…so keep working hard.

  19. JN

    It doesn’t matter when Rhianna decided to speak out. This happened to HER. This is HER truth. She can speak out whenever she feels it is time.

  20. NY said...

    Please just go home! stop trying to depress everybody else in the world. We need all the cheering up we can get around here , her dark place- take it to the island or better yet jump off the boat oat oat on the way. Stop using Chris for the other dark forces you calling upon yourself. It is too obvious more is going on than a *ss kicking when you ready to tell the truth, which you never will, holla back to America until then take your 3 hit wonder *ss and GTFOH

  21. Brooklyn, Stand UP! (2009 World Series Champions)

    Funny how she breaks her silence for the promotion of her new record, lol… Hollywood kills me!

  22. Brandy

    All of ya’ll stupid for not supporting RiRi. Chris ***** is lying and you all must not forget he has a album coming out too.

  23. Brooklyn, Stand UP! (2009 World Series Champions)

    And her new haircut is worst than her last one.

  24. Renee

    I’m so glad she is speaking out on this secret shame some women are going thru. I’m so disgusted by all these women who are “fans” of Chris Brown saying that she brought it on herself. I’ve always been a fan of Chris Brown’s music and probably will continue to be, but wrong is wrong and he needed to be prosecuted for his actions. I’m proud of Rihanna for not being ashamed and speaking out. This is happening to quite a few girls and women and if her interview helps even one person,(man or woman) I’m glad. There is a secret shame *****ociated with domestic abuse and it needs to be exposed. Keep being a fan of Chris Brown, nothing is wrong with that, but acknowledge what he did was wrong and please stop keeping the shameful secret of domestic violence shameful by shaming the victim. When I hear women blame the victim I recognize that in many cases the woman(who blames the victim) suffers from some form of low self esteem and/or self hate issues. A woman would have to, to go against another battered woman that way. I’ve noticed that with a lot of womens comments on this story.

  25. Woah!

    DAMN STFU! at least she is speaking on it! It takes time to heal, self reflection, counseling, courage, everything….

    until you have been through something like that don’t you dare try to say web she should have spoke out. Albulm or not, she is still helping people… Girls and boys.. Because boys go through this too.

    So please SHUT UP about how since her albulm is coming out it discredits her speaking out! WRONG… Because she is using the platform she has been giving to do some good…

    If she would have spoke out before when she was going back and forth with chris… Now that would have discredit her interview…

    So STFU and stop judging and see the good that might home out of this interview.. Because You nor I really know what happened that night.

    But we do know somebody is being helped by this interview…

    :sigh:

  26. BLUE

    SHE HAS NO CHOICE BUT 2 SAY “F” LOVE…

    THE JUDGE MADE THAT CLEAR WHEN SHE SAID
    THEY CAN’T BE TOGETJHER FOR 5 YEARS !!! LOL LOL LOL

  27. Like It IS

    Yeah Chris…you caught at a dead end now…she don’t want you ***** back!

  28. smarter than you

    1.every girl wants a bad boy until they get their ***** kicks 7-8 times haha
    2.every girl that loves to talk crazy and hit a guy but once they get hit back they are shocked and they become the “victim”…….

  29. cirea

    This partial interview was very, very
    sad. If a relationship ends in physical violence its time to step out, definitely. Unfortunately, celebs become role models whether they want to or not. Stop the VIOLENCE!!

  30. Life

    She embar*****es me, you sale your story for marketing your new CD? No Rihanna f’ you for pimping abused women for a buck to share a domestic message. Gosh, Americans are suckers. And this should be a good lesson to Chris Brown and his stupid PR people. Chris you should have dated a SISTAH! Not these half and half like Kim Kardnasty and ‘em.

  31. trust no one

    Its amazing that only now she wants to open up about her relationship with chris and what happened. Oh my Riri is that a cd is see you pushing in the background of all this poor me your pushing? Was it wrong she got her ***** beat, yes it was. But for her to do it to coincide with her cd doesn’t help her.

  32. tmj

    I agreed with everything Rihanna said about domestic violence and she was right about looking at from a 3rd person perspective. GOOD JOB!

    I feel sorry that she had to endure what she did and I’m saddened that Chris did not know how to properly handle his emotions. This sh*t is BAAAADDDDD! I have a feeling it’s going to get worse.

    NOTICE: Put your children in therapy if they have seen anything traumatic in your household…parental drug abuse, domestic violence, etc.! Leaving the situation doesn’t stop the memories.
    My advice to Chris…pray!

  33. kandykane

    dag she really is messed up its almost weird to see her speak for once she doesn’t do a lot of interviews she seems like a lil girl.

  34. Really? How do you know?

    @ shavondenise…she didn’t say he beat her 8 or 9 times…she said it usually takes women 8 or 9 attempts to leave an abusive man before they leave…

  35. Kynae33

    YOU ALL KNOW THERE ARE TWO SIDE TO THE STORY. PEOPLE NEED TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO SPEAK OUT TO THE PUBLIC. I DON’T CONDONE ABUSE IN ANYWAY, GIVE THAT BROTHER A CHANCE. SHE COULD HAVE SLAPPED, KICK, SPIT OR HURT IN A WAY THAT HE REACTED IN A POOR WAY, WHILE HE WAS DRIVING. SO, YOU NEVER KNOW.

  36. *****ody cares

    1. she did not say she got beat 8-9 times, that is the avg # of times a woman gets beat before she leaves

    2. yes she is wrong for exploiting this now that an album is coming out. if she sincerely felt a need to speak on the incident, especially as a public figure, i’m sure it would have been done earlier, you cannot deny how far these industry crabs go to move records

  37. Re

    How do you know if her reps have not advised her to keep quiet? Obviously she’s been given careful instruction on when to release her singles. More than likely, her reps felt like this is the best time for her to officially start giving interviews.

  38. Fed Up

    From what I read and seen on the news, she started the fight, so obviously she has a problem. I in no way condone Chris putting her hands on her, but a man can only take but so much, and then you wanna fight while he’s driving…c’mon! I would have knocked her out too!

  39. Smel

    This is sad. I feel so bad for both of them. Like Rihanna says in the interview, her fame and her position as a “role model” drastically affect/control the decisions she has to make regarding love. It’s just so unfair IMO


  40. She obviously could not speak up right after the incident took place b/c the court proceedings needed to be handled. It is smart of her to control her story, control her business, and keep her brand intact. She chose when to speak on the incident & if it is to promote her album I applaud her. Most abused women lose all control in those type of relationships & feel powerless. Riri is setting an example for those suffering from abuse by taking charge of her life & doing things the way she wants.

  41. Dajournalist

    C-Breezy deserves to recover from his mistake, learn from it and have a viable career.

    Rhianna’s opportunistic ***** is ridiculous. NOw your album comin out, you wanna speak on it. This is ridiculous.

  42. Dajournalist

    Please note that comments that talk about our sponsors negatively or discuss anything we don’t like will be deleted.

    SO much for free speech.

  43. Kynae33

    RI IS TRYING TO GAIN MORE RECORD SELLS OF THIS STORY. THAT’S WHY SHE COMING OUT RIGHT KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN HER AND CHRIS. YOU HAVE TO ASK WHY KNOW. ITS BEEEN WHAT 8MONTHS SINCE THIS HAPPENED, WHY KNOW RI, WHY KNOW? ONE ANSWER, MORE RECORD SALES OF THE DEVIL’S WORK.

  44. Life

    Yall are suckers. Gosh this girl has no lick of talent outside of looking good (since some of yall like making ‘fashion’ a talent *eyes*), white people can have her azz.

  45. Dajournalist

    KYNAE 33, you took the words right out of my mouth


  46. @Kynae33 he did get his chance on Larry King live and he blew it.

  47. blue_moon

    this chick is acting pay attention


  48. Wow she almost cried. You could hear the emotion in her voice at the end.

  49. ZO

    The funny thing is how she gets the act all innocent! True CB shouldn’t have put his hands on her but she was as abusive as he was. Now she gets all the sympathy becuase she’s the woman. I tell my daughter all the time don’t hit because it’s possible you will be hit back.

  50. bored

    Forget about her speaking out now, cause whether you like it or not, she’s lying!!! She tried her best and is still trying to get the order removed, she has talked to him numerous times, not to say how many times they have been sexing each other and she is the voice of someone and you nuts are buying it? Rihanna is so fake and she is a product of her, she wants to stay on top and by all means she will do and say anything to stay there. Did she secretly visit any shelters? No! did she secretly go see actual girls, women, men, poor little dogs that were kicked, raped, slapped, thrown downs stairs by their loved one? No! But she had time to party, show her tail, show her ***** when ever appropriate, laugh at people the list goes on and on. But now that CD is coming and she wants to be the voice. The voice that had numerous chances to save someone within this 8/9 month span? If y’all dont stop! She basically told Oprah to stay out of her business but I guess you stans call that being in a state of denial? Ok! how about other less aggressive talk hosts wanting to speak to her? No! It’s all about a sale and by all means necessary she will do anything! Fake heffa! She is putting a bad mark out there for actual women being abused but the chick that walks around with a body guard is a victim! Only in America..

  51. eva

    She is very well spoken, I will give her that which is more than i can say for some other entertainers. I know it might come off sketchy that this is the time she chose to talk about it, but you know what this is the time that she is ready to show the art that resulted from that situation, this is the time she is ready to release it all so I cannot fault her for that

  52. notsomuch

    Fed Up

    From what I read and seen on the news, she started the fight, so obviously she has a problem. I in no way condone Chris putting her hands on her, but a man can only take but so much, and then you wanna fight while he’s driving…c’mon! I would have knocked her out too!

    ————————-

    You never saw on any news program that she started the fight. You may have read it on some gossip site but you never saw that on a news program. Your blinded by your love for Chris too.

  53. Life

    Black people used to be so strong in supporting our gifted in music…and we were ONCE quick in dismissing dark and satanic music so why in the hell we will support her, gosh we are falling short of our moral stick. I think Bill Crosby has a point. There is no way in the past blacks would support dark and mystical music NO way in hell.

  54. Shelly

    It nice to see that most of the Bossip readers are still dumb ***** dirt. Anyone that thinks she has that coming or she is betraying Chris Brown are seriously mess up and should immediately seek psychological help.

  55. LaBori

    Amen to what Renee and Whoa! said. Rihanna has a right to speak her mind about the situation whenever she sees fit. She is shedding light on the subject of domestic violence, which many victims are afraid to do because of shame and for fear that their partner will hurt them even worse. I am proud of her for having the courage to share her story and I will continue to support her.


  56. Like Rihanna says in the interview, her fame and her position as a “role model”
    _____________________________________________

    @Smel and Whoever Else

    What I don’t understand about her is that if she feels as though she’s a “role model” then why did she record the song “Russian Roulette” – that makes absolutely no sense to me if you consider yourself to be a role model and you know that you influence a lot of young women and impressionable teens… SMH

  57. Huh?

    DARK PLACE!

  58. Life

    ^^^very dark place!

  59. Lean (In my opinion)

    I HATE Rihanna! She is ONLY TALKING B/C HER ALBUM IS COMING OUT!!!!!!!!!!! AND EVERYTHING SHE IS SAYING IS ONLY WHAT SOMEONE TOLD HER TO SAY!!!!!! PLEASE! B***H BYE!!!!

  60. Life

    Its interesting how socially abuse is so wrong yet equally morally wrong as having sex BEFORE marriage.

    FOOD 4 THOUGHT young people.

  61. DANG BOSSIP CESNORING US NOW???

    bossip you suckas deleted my comment!

  62. kedzy

    @blue_moon. i’m glad u notice that as well.


  63. I’m so happy that Rihanna is *****min back on the scene, I wish her the best, but I know she will be successful!

  64. chaka1

    Despite all this imagery, she is still a very young woman.

  65. mysherri

    I was happy to see Rihanna do this interview so she can move on. Those in the media seem like they want this moment to define her. She is strong, talented and driven. She will not be a perpetual victim.

  66. RUDE GAL

    rihanna she so pretty –
    i just cant get over her beauty -
    and she speak very well –

    did she rihanna say these words ” i am a role model” no – so ya’ll need to stop putting words in people mouth.

  67. Machinedriven

    The machine is still pumping the pimp juice and this girl is too stupid to see it. She is blind. She doesn’t see what they are doing to her. She wants the fame. What up with the Sharon Stone Basic Instinct Dress? LMAO . A whole mess this is. A whole mess. Did she mention like diddy she Took that Took that.

  68. DANG BOSSIP CESNORING US NOW???

    IF YALL BUY INTO THIS “SYMPATHY” MESS THEN SOME OF ARE TRUE FOLLOWERS.

    I CAN NAME U 5 ARTIST OFF THE TOP OF MY HAND WHO ARE WAYYYYYYYY “TALENTED” THAN RIHANNA AS WELL AS BEAUTIFUL

    BUT BEAUTIFUL IS THE ONLY THING THAT SHE HAS GOT GOING FOR HER SO WHY DIDNT SHE JUST BECOME A DAMN RUNWAY MODEL?

    ALSO SHE IS ONLY “SPEAKING OUT” NOW BECAUSE HER ALBUM RELEASE IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND SHE WANTS U GULLIBLE ***** SIMPLE MINDED PEOPLE TO BUY HER LAME ***** “QUEEN OF THE DAMNED” ***** ALBUM

    WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THIS RIHANNA/CB INCIDENT I JUST THOUGHT CHRIS BROWN WAS WRONG. BUT THERE ARE TWO SIDE TO A STORY AND RIHANNA’S SIDE IS WAY TO SKETCHY. SHE ACTS ALL “GANGSTA” AND WHEN SEEN IN PHOTOS SHE ACTS LIKE SHE HAS THIS “BAD *****” ATTITUDE. EVEN IN HER RECENT VIDEOS SHE LOOKS LIKE SHELL CUT A *****

    BUT NOW SHE IN FRONT THIS WHITE LADY AND SHE WANNA ACT ALL “WOE IS ME” GTFOH AND BE REAL!

  69. RUDE GAL

    Machinedriven

    The machine is still pumping the pimp juice and this girl is too stupid to see it. She is blind. She doesn’t see what they are doing to her. She wants the fame. What up with the Sharon Stone Basic Instinct Dress? LMAO . A whole mess this is. A whole mess. Did she mention like diddy she Took that Took that.

    stupidy is amazing

  70. tania

    domestic violence is not a publicity stunt for your ablum. she had months to say somthing if “the kids she influences is so important to her” she wanted to be a voice ***** please i heard enough. now she wants the pity party for some sales. go ahead and sell that soul to the devil. selfish intentions always come to light.

  71. Jane Doe

    Well better late than never… im sure its not easy to speak about something like that straight away..

  72. Machinedriven

    Rude Gal so are you. amazing.

  73. NYC Gal

    I was very surprised that Rihanna said so much. I can’t wait to hear the rest. I want to hear how many times Rihanna got beaten by Ike Turner Jr.?

  74. Machinedriven

    Do not allow the industry to pimp your tragedy.
    If you think what I said is stupid than so be it.
    There are two sides to the story but… of course what happened was wrong. BUT why allow people that “have your back” play you. She is being used and pimped and thats that.

  75. tania

    the news programs arent going to tell you who started because from jump it was chris’s fault and he took all he blame regardless. if she is going to tell the truth tell the whole truth damnit. you can not put your hands on people. no one can. talk about the temper on both sides. talk about it. this ***** is far from a vic

  76. billie

    She still in love with his *****.

  77. BK

    No one is down playing domestic violence, abused women or saying it is by any means right for a man to hit a woman but she doing this, po me, act to promote her cd and that is the part that got people irritated (too many of us know women with real problems like the ones that got set on fire). If she was this dark and dangerous before and changed her image softer because of the incident and spoke of it maybe 2 months ago, then we may have had empathy for her and believed she is sincere but on the eve of the cd thing prancing around reeking of the rollin in dough why does anyone care? Sh^t if he didnt leave her on the side of the road she would have had to find another way to peddle this flop. Shs buying 6 million dollar houses, truthfully, I know alot of women that would take two to the jaw, with grace to live high off the hog so spare us, girl. If it was that serious then a year to the day all of a sudden people would be looking for Chris, last they heard he was seen in some dark spandex heading for a show.


  78. get it out and over with. then let them heal.

  79. Machinedriven

    Teen VOGUE rhianna on the cover. F Love Not Fashion

  80. SoWhat

    SO YOU WANNA SPEAK OUT NOW CUZ YA F’N ALBUM COMIN OUT???? IF YOU CARED SO MUCH ABOUT YOUNG GIRLS YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN SAID ALL THIS SOPPY ISH ALONG TIME AGO INSTEAD OF WHEN IT BENIFITED YOU!!!! NO RESPECT FROM ME AT ALL… CUT THE FAKE GANGSTA ROLE OUT WE ALL KNOW IT AINT YOU BOO BOO… ITS ALL A GIMMICK TO MAKE DOLLA…

  81. NYC Gal

    If Chris got beaten by Rihanna, where were his bruises? The only bruises I saw on Ike Jr. were on his knuckles.

  82. london

    This heffer is PRETENDING!

  83. 2dimplzs

    @ Renee you are 100% on point. Regardless of WHEN she decided to speak out (They BOTH have new albums coming out – not just her!) she’s speaking on it and she needs to. How many interviews have Chris done on every radio and talk show that would have him? Where was the outcry then? He told his side and now she’s telling hers.

    At least she CARES about these young girls who look up to her and who may feel that getting your face beat in is ok because Ri-Ri let Chris do it! At least she’s speaking out to these girls and grown women that it’s NOT OK and that going back because you “love him” is not safe or wise!

    Rihanna fan or not this is a serious issue and it’s deeper than albums dropping or self promotion. Rihanna and Chris both need help and talking about it in one of the most public ways is definitely one step in getting help. I’m so sick of Bossip tagging Rihanna’s name with “She’s in a dark place!” SO WHAT! Everybody goes through phazes in their lives, dark times, difficult times. Leave the girl alone already!! She’s dealing with A LOT of pressure. Let’s hope she don’t turn to drugs or alcohol to help her cope.

  84. Life

    She reminds me of Jennifer Lopez after Diddy’s arrest. Remember how everyone felt bad for Jennifer Lopez and thereafter Jennifer was a mega star after she got ‘the sympathy card’ victim right access from white main stream media.

    Jennifer Lopez = Rihanna.


  85. I didn’t listen to her 4 minutes not interested in what she has to say at all…I see through her bi-polar ways and all this on the tales of her DARK LYRICIST CD…how empowering of you to give advice on leaving a bad situation but your CD praises all sorts of negativity GTFOH Rihanna

  86. Life

    Yeah I can’t get over how the black community NEVER eva support dark music gosh I am disappoint in us.

  87. PEOPLE SUCK

    Erybody need to STFU! Dont *****ody on this thread have a life? Why are we even concerned with this publicity stunt? Seriously people. Quit worrying about these fools, cuz they aint worried about you, and they aint gone pay yo bills and they aint gone save your souls…We may never know the truth so lets move on…Seek jesus first he is the truth and the light not these lost celebs.

  88. Aunt Viv

    Ri-Ri needs to disappear for a while, work on herself in private, then come back. It’s clear she still needs healing.

  89. always knew

    Sad that she’s only being vocal about the incident now that she wants publicity for her CD. That kinda takes away from her credibility as an advocate.
    _____________________

    Truth.


  90. Whatever~!!!

  91. Life

    She should disappear, I am still trying to figure out WHEN she was not in the public eye since the alleged beat down.

  92. Aunt Viv

    Hey rose!

  93. NOr*Cal

    I respect the hell outta Rihanna for this


  94. SHE DIDN’T EVEN TRY TO PLAY IT OFF.NO REAL EMOTION. CHRIS DID AN AWFUL REHERSED INTERVIEW AND IT WAS REALER THAN WHAT RIHANNA JUST DID. TO ME SHE SEEM TO ALMOST WANT TO SMILE OR SMIRK. I FEEL AS IF SHE WAS LHAO ON THE INSIDE!!!!!!!PS I AM NOT A CB OR BEY FAN!!!!!

  95. selfhelp910

    Who would let her move on with her music career without first addressing what happened. She has to be interviewed to promote the album anyway, so I don’t see anything wrong with her speaking out now. I do believe she was physically abusive also and got a wake up call: Men are physically stronger than women…not wise to fist fight them!!!

  96. BLUE

    MS. RHI RHI..IF YOU’RE SO CONCERN ABOUT YOUNG GIRLS..WHY WAIT 9 MONTHS BEFORE SPEAKING??? WHY TALK NOW, 2 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR ALBUM IS ABOUT TO DROP????

    SOB STORY…..IT’S ALL HYPE….JUST TO SELL CD’S!!!

  97. Life

    She only got emotional talking about “other” victims. Hint: note the word “other”.

  98. Allison Mae

    I was in an abusive relationship before and Rihanna is NOT the poster child for abuse!!! Please!!! GTFOH Rihanna, you opportunist!!!

  99. NYC Gal

    Ri Ri did the right thing about speaking out and share her experiences with the world. That incident in Feb was a wake up call for her. If that didn’t happened, I think Ike Jr. would have eventually kill her. Real talk.

  100. K

    I am not an advocate for domestic violence, but something about this chick tells me she is NOT a victim. She does not cross me as the type of female that would just lie down and get her ***** whipped. She looks like a fighter. I think she just like whitney houston are refusing to take any responsibility in the incidents of violence that occurred in their lives. Society wants to view these two women as these beautiful, meek, and docile beings when in reality they are hell raisers! Also,she’s had almost a whole year to speak out on this matter yet she decides to speak right before she drops her album….very suspect.

  101. Schizophrenixxx

    Life

    Why the hell are we talking about Bill Cosby and Mysticism? What the hell this got to do with Rhianna?
    Black people been listening to Mystic music forever. Remember “Thriller?” There are many more that just came off the top of my head.
    Moody people like dark music. That does NOT make them satanic!
    Now do you KNOW Rhianna worships Satan? You don’t know a persons heart. She can be closer to God then anyone in here. At least she doesn’t get up every morning to jump on a computer to judge strangers. The Bible says “Judge not lest ye be Judged.” If you judge others that mess will come right back to you. NO ONES hands are clean. I’m not even a Christian and probably act more like one then you do sweety!
    bill Cosby is an old man. You think he has more influence than the biggest pop star in the world? Im not even the biggest Rhianna fan, but she is successful and girls look up to her, Whether I like it or not.
    As for “Mystic Music” as you call it, people have been listening to it for years. Hell our African ancestors most likely listened to “Mystic Music”.
    You are most likely ignorant of the fact that CHRISTIANITY is the white mans religion. We had our own spirituality in Africa. They stripped us of our spirituality and culture when they dragged us to America on slave ships.
    Black people turned to Christianity for a sense of hope and haven’t let go since. Christianity is NOT the only religion out there. The Hindu God is just as real to Hindus as the Christian God is to so many people.
    I know ignorance is bliss, but please, please, please learn a little history? It goes a long way.

  102. Crystal

    Wow, everybody putting the blame on this young girl has something wrong with them. Did you not SEE those pictures of her battered face? I don’t care if she slapped at Chris while he was driving – - no matter what she may have done, there was no justification for him beating her like that. NO JUSTIFICATION.

    And she has to promote her album. This question is going to come up because it’s the first time she’s done any interviews since the incident. I think she knew she was going to get asked about it, so she chose to – instead of being caught off guard at some point – share it all in this interview where she knew what to expect and was ready to say what she had to say.

    Blaming the victim because of their music, clothing, or because they may have or may not have agitated the abuser is WRONG. This twisted kind of thinking is what allows domestic violence to remain prevalent in this society. I think some on this site have very unhealthy levels of anger towards women, and are always very quick to defend and justify men’s behavior.

    Especially to the women – you MUST support your sisters in these matters. What if it was your child, or your friend, or YOU?

    As a victim of physical violence, I can *****ure you it is no joke. I feel for Rihanna and what she has endured. On the same note, exploiting her horrible experience before her record release speaks volumes. As I recall, after the incident she was everywhere and anywhere and even got a gun tattoo. If she wants to preach about being a role model then she needs to look at her own actions because people can see right through her. It takes time to finally come to terms with your abuser, I just find it very convenient she is doing it now. Also, if she wanted to send a positive message to her fans she could have reached out to charities and organizations for battered women.


  104. @Bored/ Life Cosign 100%
    This world is full of followers. People would rather be lied to any day than hear the truth. Truth is she is about self, could care less about the next man or any of these little girls that look up to her as a saint. She got into an altercation, she was not beat, not abused…she had a fight…Point Blank and Period.

  105. NYC Gal

    I hope Rihanna go into great details about her relationship with Ike Jr because she needs to let the world knows what an abuse is and she needs to mentioned how many times he hit her.

  106. NYC Gal

    I do believe Ike Jr. will hit again and this time the woman might die.

  107. No u can't be boyfriend #2!

    mima boss

    She obviously could not speak up right after the incident took place b/c the court proceedings needed to be handled. It is smart of her to control her story, control her business, and keep her brand intact. She chose when to speak on the incident & if it is to promote her album I applaud her. Most abused women lose all control in those type of relationships & feel powerless. Riri is setting an example for those suffering from abuse by taking charge of her life & doing things the way she wants.

    ___________________________________________________

    TRUE! And I am happy that she finally realized that whether she likes it or not she is a public figure! And some girls/women look up to her! And if she would have went back that would have sent all the wrong kind of messages! Album or no album coming out!


  108. I AM LMAO AT RIHANNA TRYING TO PULL EMOTION FROM INSIDE.SHE KEPT REPEATING HERSELF WAITING FOR THE EMOTION TO COME OUT, AND IT WASN’T HAPPENING…. LMAO


  109. I’m so sick of hearing about how she was abused. We the world are making a mockery out of abuse. Any 2 ways this high yella girl had been abused as so many say her wounds would have surfaced long time ago. Get real..Because she is not. She is walking and talking just the way those that are controlling her life tells her. She’s probably doesn’t even know who she is anymore. My momma always said if you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything. Who’s leading your life?

  110. NYC Gal

    People got to remember that Ike Jr. is a second or third generation abuser and he needs major help. The more he goes around focusing on his career the more the problem will escalate. Trust Ike Jr. will hit again and the result next time will be DEATH.

  111. holla

    u knw i never considered it but really idk i prob might spazzed out or just ran very far far away and never speak to her in life. How do you fight someone while they’re driving though? that would scare the ***** outta me….

    Either way regardless whether u love her or hate her; its for her album. She prob wanted to say sum sooner but PR team prob thought of it from a business angle…get ppl feeling sorry for you and garner some sympathy sales. Same could be said of Chris. I like em both but hate that it seems like both using the situation to make more dollars, not knocking it but just addressing the fact that they should look into the situation and us their status to help others rather than making more dollar bills but i guess that much is true….Money rules everything esp. in this economic climate. Rihanna is prob speaking from the heart, Chris too prob but just for a dollar bill…plz dnt see these people as symbols for any cause unless its a money making cause. Neither of them are genuine in addressing the situation…..album first, charity later

  113. I disagree with Rihanna when she boo hoo ed about going through it publicly. Around here you know what women are getting bea,.you know the ones who keep black eyes. The whole town knows your buissiness. You know the ones who get chased outside naked. You also know the men who beat every women they have. So I disagree because the majority of women in my town who get beat we all know the whole story and why/how, and how many black eyes and who was there, the police even know who gets beat. So it does not matter if it’s on a world wide scale, your whole community knowing and facebook/my*****e family knows it’s the same thing.

  114. NYC Gal

    Just look how angry Ike Jr. was on Twitter when a fan stated that he/she didn’t like his pants on the cover of his album. The fan had a right to state his/her opinion and because Ike Jr didn’t like the answer that the fan gave, he went on the attack.

  115. Crystal

    That is why it is so hard to be a woman today. Men all rally around other men and support them in situations like this, and woman try to justify and defend men as well (I’m talking about those women I’ve seen post that they would let Chris Brown beat them too if they could hit it or that he is so cute and therefore would never have hurt her unless she deserved it).

    But when it is a controversy around a woman, the men out there don’t try to protect her or stand up for her, and other women – who should be empathizing with her and her biggest supporters – are the first in line to try to cut her down because of jealousy or their own low self-esteem or self-hate. SMDH.

    Where is the love for this young, vulnerable, and probably VERY CONFUSED girl?! It seems pretty clear she still loves him and probably doesn’t understand why but she is trying her hardest to be strong. How can you help but feel for her and pray for her?

    People speculate about how it was a mutual fight, or how her “dark” thing had nothing to do with Chris or how she is a violent person. HOW DO YOU KNOW? The only thing we know for sure is that she looked like Chris took a meat tenderizer to her face in those pictures. That is ALL WE KNOW. Don’t try to justify your own terrible feelings of animosity towards this victim of abuse by making things up.

  116. LeLe

    I just hate the fact that she is coming out now when Chris Brown is trying to get his life together and move on. It isn’t right. It’s all for publicity and she should cut it out.

  117. The Official Mrs. Carter

    I still cant get over the way the incident occured. Now correct if Im wrong (which I know yall will)in the report it stated that he was driving gotta text mess she got mad and she took the keys and sat on them (she didnt get out of the car and run for her life)and refused to give them back and then she called her *****istant and left a fake message didnt wait for the beeeep to leave a mess she spoke over the greeting to report that she was being abused. Didnt call the police to report the abuse and didnt leave a real message???? Nothing about what was reported made sense. And I KNOW Im going to take some slack for this and Im ready so here goes…The pics of her being abused WERE NOT as bad as everyone made them out to be…Im sorry but they werent. Now dont get me wrong, any amount of abuse is WRONG! He was WRONG for hitting her but her actions has been overshawdowed. I dont think he gotta a fair shake at the dice…I am not an abused woman never been in that situation and I do not suffer from low self esteem. I know my place and I know my worth but I also know that when something dont make sense its usually not true. So she can save that fake emotion she was trying so hard for and admit the real truth about what happened that night.


  118. I like her haircut , it looks good on her!!

    @ LeLe

    I just hate the fact that she is coming out now when Chris Brown is trying to get his life together and move on. It isn’t right. It’s all for publicity and she should cut it out.

    ====================================================
    Ri Ri didn’t do it for publicity because she was getting major publicity since she made GGGB cd. She had no choice to do it now because if she had say anything in Feb. she would have been asked about it now.

    Chris B. is the one who is doing for publicity. Look how many times he’s going on some show to say sorry. I lost count.


  120. @ The Official Ms- I totally agree. The pictures meant nothing to me. Rihanna is light skin. If you pinch her she would bruise. I have seen many black eyes and lumps and they do not heal up that fast not in time to be on a jet ski in less than a week. I know some men who beat women and all my friends (females) beat and slap their man. This interview I got nothing from it. Chris interview seemed rehersed like a mug and it seemed so much more real.

  121. Dirty Diana...Let Me Be ♪

    whoaaa, seems like Chris is screwed now. SMH im sorry this had to happen to either of them. i still disagree with her speaking out just before her album drops. Jay-z probably told her to do it NOW or else….sigh
    i feel sorry for both of those kids. they looked to happy together.

    i disagree. i think it’s just that she doesn’t have good interview skills. you can tell by the way she answers the questions.
    she obvioulsy loved chris very much and i think the hurt lies within the fact he hurt her like that and now they can’t be together again. had the beating not gone public im sure they would still be together today, but everything happens for a reason.

  123. emallthetime

    If she is so concerned about people dying and little girls looking to her as an example, why she willing singing a song about suicide and then proceed to make another video where she is crotch grabbing in a church? I am not saying that domestic violence is justifiable or that Chris Brown should have put his hands on her, but her message makes little sense concerning her music. She should be more concerned about the music she makes and the videos than talking about what Chris did to her because her actions as an artist contradict what she is saying on ABC right before her album is about to come out.

  124. SoMbitous

    Publicity stunt…I wanna talk now CD about to drop. She threw Chris under the bus. The incident as a whole was wrong! But the only thing we saw was her and the media went on a protect Rhianna frenzy and made Chris into a monster. I’m just wondering if the truth came out that perhaps she pulled a gun or a knife on him and he did what he did in self-defense then what would be said about po Rhianna (just a hypo scenario). I wish them both well and I hope they do not turn this into a he did she did episode.

  125. LENA

    DAMN, CHRIS HAS NO ONE TO STAND-UP FOR HIM, EVERYONE HAS BOWED DOWN TO RIHANNA. I DON’T CONDONE AT WHAT THIS YOUNG MAN DID, BUT AT SOME POINT PEOPLE MUST LEARN THAT FORGIVINESS MEANS EVERYTHING.

  126. TooGoode

    I am really confused. She says she wants to be a role model for young girls? How? She walks around in provocative clothes, with her azz and nipples showing, while running the town with a married man. Her 1st single is about suicide and she’s a role model? This all for album sales. I really wish Chris would come out and expose her azz for who she really is. Time will releive the truth if he doesn’t. I’m not buying this crap nor her album!

    Chris really went ballistic on Ri Ri! He had her in a headlock twice and he bit her ear and fingers. WTF? He was going to kill her! Thank God the neighbors heard her screams and called the police. If they didn’t, Ri Ri would have been dead.

  132. JB (Santa Claus woke up last night)

    She needs to kich her stylist A$$ for making her look like a Alaskan Mountain goat. Or was she going forhte UNC Tarheels Ram?

  133. flashing lights

    You guys on here are truly sorry people.
    Most of you live mess up life –
    And check the hoodrats trying to give advice and trying
    To decipher how Rihanna should live her life or when she should have spoken about
    The incident between she and CB, she speak when she feels like, just like CB did
    And its amazing how many of you ladies are so against rihanna, its like you ladies are
    All down for that domestic violence, its seems like some of you guys like to get a good
    Beat down by a man. Another thing she would have sold her album regardless of her interview.
    Some of you guys talk about she is a role model and she came out with Russian roulette song
    Sh*t, a lot of young girls look up to beyonce and look at the way she perform always shaking her
    her private parts on stage, beyonce kitty is always on display, but she is the baddest in the game right yeah…
    Rihanna do you, and don’t listen to people.

  134. bored

    NYC GAL, no, no, the man said he heard arguing, not screams. Rihanna went off, he was scared for his life so he protected it the best way he knew how. I really beieve riri was beating him that’s why he did not say all but now that she is spitting out lies it might make him play his trump card! You do remember them very revealing pictures she sent on the net? I believe there is more..

  135. ike & tina

    ok. i’m not down for men beatin womens a@@es. i could write a book on domestic violence. but is she ever gonna talk about the part when she smacked chris’s a@@ around. i’m just saying, any woman that can dish it out like a man ought to be able to TAKE IT LIKE A MAN !!!!

    STFU – were you there, how do you know so much, are close friends with rihanna or with chris brown, its amazing the way you can make up a story
    i think you should work for the media, because you are a true story teller .

  137. Lady diva

    Riri is thé best…..she is strong did not deserve this.biggest fan

  138. Redd Foxxx (This Is Gods Work You Know Pretty Wings)

    No comment. They are both kids to me.

  139. Yaya

    Let me remind everyone that Rihanna is also a musician. SHE MAKES HER LIVING MAKING MUSIC. She has a contract to do interviews! She needs to make a living again, make another album and what do you think people want to know about before they know about her music? THE BEATDOWN. SO she must talk about it. She has to. I also find it funny that no onw said “oh chris brown is just talking to sell albums”….they are both artists!! They have to do interviews.

    I do not care what anyone says….you can still see that she is hurting…Chris cut her deep. Really deep….and now his team knows that she has to talk now so he is doing an interview with MTV the SAME DAY she does one.
    Now, I must say I like his new single but that does not mean I like him as a person….I just feel that he has not come to terms to the fact that he has hurt her EMOTIONALLY….
    I also feel that she will grow out of this…I just feel so bad for her….she can not even talk about her music witout talking about him first…she has to relive it every single interview….btw…I love when little girls say “Why don’t I see his pictures up with his bruises??? WHY??”
    …..because he has none.

    Stay blessed everyone.

  140. Ummmmmm....

    The way she was talking it almost sounds like she takes ownership in some sort of way, talking about it’s embar*****ing the choice of man she chose in Chris. Not saying I agree, but maybe that’s why she’s going through such a dark phase right now…her ‘f love’ said it all!

  141. Crystal

    “I just hate the fact that she is coming out now when Chris Brown is trying to get his life together and move on.”

    Translation: Rihanna is selfish for talking publicly about her abusive relationship with Chris when he has a new album to promote. She should stay silent.

    “The pics of her being abused WERE NOT as bad as everyone made them out to be.”

    Translation: Chris isn’t a bad guy. He only beat up Rihanna’s face a little bit! I’ve seen worse!

    “DAMN, CHRIS HAS NO ONE TO STAND-UP FOR HIM, EVERYONE HAS BOWED DOWN TO RIHANNA.”

    Translation: Poor Chris, all he did was beat up a woman a little bit! (BTW, half the people on here are attacking Rihanna, not Chris)

    “She walks around in provocative clothes, with her azz and nipples showing, while running the town with a married man. Her 1st single is about suicide and she’s a role model?… I really wish Chris would come out and expose her azz for who she really is. Time will releive the truth if he doesn’t. ”

    Translation: Rihanna deserved her beat down for being a ***** and writing depressing lyrics.

    “This interview I got nothing from it. Chris interview seemed rehersed like a mug and it seemed so much more real.”

    Translation: Chris feels really bad about beating her up! Poor Chris! Rihanna is clearly a b*** who has no emotions.

    “WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THIS RIHANNA/CB INCIDENT I JUST THOUGHT CHRIS BROWN WAS WRONG. BUT THERE ARE TWO SIDE TO A STORY AND RIHANNA’S SIDE IS WAY TO SKETCHY. SHE ACTS ALL “GANGSTA” AND WHEN SEEN IN PHOTOS SHE ACTS LIKE SHE HAS THIS “BAD *****” ATTITUDE. EVEN IN HER RECENT VIDEOS SHE LOOKS LIKE SHELL CUT A *****”

    Translation: Rihanna deserves this because she acts “all gangsta” and probably did something to cause Chris to hit her.

    SUMMARY: Rihanna is a sl*t and acts inappropriately and sings dark songs. I think she seems like a violent person. Therefore, if she was beat up by Chris, she deserved it. Plus, he didn’t beat her up that bad. She shouldn’t have broken his heart of left him, and she really shouldn’t be interfering with his album sales by speaking out. Poor, poor Chris.

    Cannot believe some of these comments. People, recognize this situation for what it is. Rihanna did not ask to be beaten up by Chris, and had to talk about this sometime before she could move on to promote her album. I don’t think she’d prefer to talk about it at all, but she probably wants to move on. We are all children of God, and when one of us is victimized and is hurt, we should pray for them instead of hurting them more. I feel sorry for Chris too, but what he is dealing with is his own doing. I hope he makes his peace with God. But hating Rihanna for what happened is completely and totally wrong. Trying to justify what Chris did is totally wrong. If it was self-defense, or if Rihanna wasn’t hurt that bad, then I am sure the legal situation would have been different. If the courts believed Rihanna’s side of the story, what makes you think you know better? Stop blaming the victim and promoting domestic violence.

  142. FF

    Ok, I know this is a serious issue.

    But I have two points to make.

    Who’s worse as a public speaker, Rihanna or Beyonce? I thought that Beyonce had poor and unintelligible communication skills, but I think Rihanna’s making her look like a member of Mensa.

    My second point, is, if you are so worried about your message to young girls, then why put out a song with a gunshot at the end and debut a video of you desecrating a church?

  143. Chillin@Work

    You people are so UNREASONABLE!!!!!!! At least the girl has sense, and it’s not easy for what she has done. what she has been through especially in the public eye….. she is being real and sincere..

    =====================================================

    It was a women that told the reporter she heard a woman screaming and she called 911 but she wasn’t the only person who called. Several neighbors heard her screams and called.

    If Chris was innocent in this why did he pled guilty. You don’t plead guilty to something you didn’t do. If anything Chris should have let it gone to trail so that all the info would be out.

    Also, if Chris was attacked by Ri Ri, where were his bruises? The officers who booked him on the night of the incident didn’t see any bruises on his face. Where were the injuries that he got at the hands of Ri Ri? More importantly, why didn’t Chris use the injuries that he supposedly suffered in court?

  145. Niasia

    No one is promoting domestic violence but domestic violence can go both ways…its only horrible though when the man does it! I have a feeling there is a lot more to this than she lets on. A woman should not be beat. And a woman should keep her hands to herself as well! Just because you have a uterus doesn’t mean you get to go off in jealous rages w/o consequences.

  146. TooGoode

    I understand she’s an artist and she must do interviews, however, in the process dont try to destroy someone elses career while doin so. No, we don’t know fully what happen, but I think we all have somewhat of an idea. If you are truly talented your talent will sell albums not publicty stunts!!!!

  147. FF

    But on a serious tone, domestic abuse is never ever ok. I just wish that she’d spoken about it sooner, and not to commercialize on her album. But she’s a business woman first, so she’s gotta put her self interest first.

  149. 4REAL2

    @ShavonDenise. Chris didn’t make a horrible mistake. This has been going on 8 or 9 times. 8 or 9 times is not a mistake, it is a pattern that reflect what a person is all about. The truth came out when the public got involved and called the cops. Otherwise, the saga of domestic violence would still be going on between those two. Rihanna didn’t snitch, she was to ashamed. Thank God the Public helped her escape a bad, abusive relationship. That stuff’s been going on for a while and nothing Team Chris People can say will throw Rihanna under the Bus. It will only put the final nail in Chris Brown’s (career) Coffin.

  150. Niasia

    @ Chillin @work

    wow how can you even broach the subject of that horrible rape in this same breath as this incident. This Ri/Chris fiasco is the result of TWO people with anger management problems and it escalated. Please do not compares this twits issues to that poor young teenager!

  151. Juicy2009

    So now all of a sudden she wants to talk about what happened. She didn’t want to talk when she went back to him. My thing is..Ok he did what he did. But we all know one thing our parents told us..Don’t hit if you don’t want to get hit back. I’m a woman and me and my man have had altercations before that I usually start. So when I get my lick back I expect that because I hit him first. I think this is just a publicity stunt and if the judge had not ordered them to stay away she wouldn’t be away!!!!! She didn’t leave because what kind of message she was sending she left because the judge made their ***** seperate. When the little restraining order is up she will probably want him back. I’m a fan of both artist and will continue to be. But she just needs to be 21 about the situation and move on….

  154. Rihanna don’t give a damn about Domestic Violence issues because if she did she would also admit that she hit Chris on numerous occasions and that it’s NOT ok for girls or women to go around hitting men or boys!

    Rhianna only cares about Rihanna,she is just telling these stories now because she is trying to pull in Whites to buy her cd,and her puppeteer is jealous azz Jay-Z…..I’m LMAO at people who really want to believe everything she says because the real truth is that “no one knows what happened between” her and Chris for anything to be verified.I just wish Chris would come out tonight on MTV and speak on how she hit him as well,while he continues to atone for his own issues.It is time for that ho to be put directly on frontstreet!

    While ya’ll still trying to ride hard on Chris Brown, what about the fact that this broad is using what is a real and dangerous problem for a number of females as a way to promote her ablum? This is pathetic on so many levels.

  160. Bill Bigsby

    u ppl are so dumb. album is coming out…this is some serious publicity. Why did she wait so long to say something. The sharks behind her told her to wait and build up her stock for the albums release then she could spill the beans. Chris is stupid. the first thing they teach in heartthrob101 is not to have a girlfriend! stay single. this idiot not only gets a gf, he beats her…he deserves everything his stupid ***** gets.

    Riri’s new songs suck btw

  161. Rudy

    Go Rihanna.. so touching, I almost cried too.. shes’ really hurt by it all that’s why she hasn’t said isht

  162. Truth... and Di*k Hurts

    she did the “feel sorry for me, buy my cd” interview….lol

  163. Sticky-n-Sweet

    Life, what are you talking about?! Rihanna ain’t mixed!

  164. PRPPLE, just call me TADOW

    Daym that interview Rhianna is a pretty girl. As i self reflect, i think the only thing im lacking is an accent…maybe London, maybe Jamaican, maybe Cuban, maybe Barbadian…. but yes i feel im lacking this!

  165. Sticky-n-Sweet

    This girl JUST turned 21! How many people want their daughters looking up to a 21 year old?! She don’t know nuthin’ about life yet, she’s dealing with it as best she can! She may have wanted to speak, she may still want Chris back, she might not have meant the eff love comment…remember she has handlers, the same ones that made her look like a knock off Bey when she first came out! How about you all be role models and let the young girl live?

  166. Excuse Me: Rihanna Get Your Life Together

    From my experience, she was acting this entire thing out. Very insincere.

    I can ramble all day about how this is just a media circus to up record sales for both teams; so there is no way in hell I watched this to know how she was really feeling. Simply entertainment.

    Here’s the problem I encountered. “My selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed I couldn’t be easy with that.”

    B*TCH have you when was the last time you listened to the lyrics during a play-back of Russian Roulette? Get the f*ck out of here.

    That line truly made me wish I was the one who socked her that day.

    She is horrible. Fortunately for her, the American public are pretty simple so like @Rudy I’m sure this comes off as “so touching, I almost cried.” GTFOH!

    To hell with Rihanna. Chris needs to stop trying to be a gentleman [especially after he beat her?!] and tell us the truth, because she is about to spill all the beans.

  167. Fiasco

    Rihanna is about as good a role model as Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton.. haha. Only a truly sick person would exploit themselves and such a serious matter in order to sell records.. They are all possesed by satan. Including C. Brown. They deserve eachother. Lets not overlook the abuse Rihanna gave to Chris.. There is always two sides to the story.. i dont condone a man striking a woman.. But lets paint the whole story

  168. Anon

    When one compares this snippet of this interview to Chris Brown’s interview on Larry King, he sounds even more ignorant and insincere.

    He should havee tried to squeeze out some tears or something! Instead, he was trying to hold back giggles, talking about he blacked out. SMH Lawd, that dude is special

    It’s a wrap for C Breezy’s woman beating tail.

  169. keke

    time will heal all wounds and i hope they both get the help that they deserve!!!

  170. bluekid

    Chris Brown needs to stay away from Rihanna, Rihanna is worshiping the devil expect consequences to happen for such a vile act against God. The Courts are keeping them from each other and rightly so. NYC gal, if you truly love Rihanna stop the name calling of Chris Brown. If people truly are her fans they need to stop calling Chris Brown out of his name and be a little kinder to them both.

  171. Anon

    And trust, if there was anything Chris Brown could say to defend himself and throw shade on Rihanna, he would.

    We all know that his team was all over Bossip and other sites spreading rumors about her giving him herpes and various other bs.

    He can’t say ish (not even that she hit him first or he was defending himself), because he knows that HE was the one acting like a raving lunatic that night.

  172. DAVE CHAPELL

    Rihanna is Dark…latley she’s been wearing All Black..and grabbing her crotch in a church in her new video..and when she sits down with a white woman she wants to wear white and seem all innocent and talk about being a role model for young girls..Biatch please..she is so fake..and don’t care about none of the ppl thats leaving comments so why defend any of these celebrities..all they care about is making there next Million off of us!! Dumb A$$ America

  173. Jay32

    I hate situation between them went down the way it did and I do have some sympathy for her but not much.To those of you saying it doesn’t matter when she spoke about well it does matter.She chose to speak up and be a Voice for battered women right around the time her album is about to drop,excuse me if I think this interview is full of BS.If she truly wanted to be a Voice for battered women then she could have went and spoke at some women shelter or something of that nature but she didn’t she chose to show her ***** n ***** all through the streets of NY and Europe.She didn’t have to tell people what happen she could have just given the women and young girls advice on how to get out or avoid abusive relationships but she didn’t do any of that.Now all of a sudden she wants to be a voice.Anybody can see that if the judge then order them apart she would still be with him.This has publicity stunt written all over it.


  174. I so agree with you bored but will like to add that she stated she still went back to him and is/was very much in love. Her cd is about to drop so now the promo is on high and speaking out now about the abuse will be more revelant to her. She has been studying acting because i can see it so much in her interview. with all the partying and etc,she should have gotten herself some conseling because she too has abusive ways. With the judge keeping them away from each other it has made her even more darker in her actions, because she wants to still be with Chris, weather that is good or bad they both need help. When it all said and done Chris will get the bad end of the stick, because he did what he should have not done, he hit her. I think if Rihanna could get the judge to lift that judgement her and chris would been together right now. It was said that she talks everyday to his mother and still calls her mom.

  175. pppp

    yall sound like dumb bells
    do you think that your opinion matter to
    ri ri, lets just say for agrument sake “if rihanna
    should sign on to bossip and read your comments, you think she is gonna start crying, she be laughing her pretty ***** off at yall motherf*ckers.
    some of the comments on here sound so silly and childish, I wish some of you will find a real job and the ri ri live her life. You guys are some dumb f*cks up in her , just listen to you guys…
    it like a big orgy and everybody got something to say, but at the end of the day , ri ri is gonna shine no matter , look how pretty she looks, her eyes, her body, her island accent, she is a killer and thats what killing most of you guys.

  176. cici

    DARK PLACE UMMM YEAH SHE GOT BRUTALLY BEATEN IN THE PUBLIC VIEW ITS ONLY REASONABLE IDIOTS…. SHE IS AN EXAMPLE FOR YOUNG GIRLS THAT EXPERIENCE THIS,,,,,IF SHE WAS DROPPING AN ALBUM OR NOT SHE NEEDED TO COME OUT SOONER OR LATER THIS WAS PROBABLY TO SOON .. NOT EASY TO HEAL IN FRONT OF MILLIONS OF FREAKIN AMERICANS

  177. KeepNit2Real

    you know, looking at her facial expressions, body language, and the tone of her voice, I see 2 things in Rihanna

    1. It all looks and sounds scripted as if someone schooled her on what to say. There were certain parts of her interview you heard her trying to even break away from the schooled version and she lost words and thought pattern.

    2. She’s deeply enslaved. The industry has the girl so messed up she is basically telling you forget what’s normal, do what I do.

    If the girl KNOWS younger girls look up to her, the catch phrase in this ENTIRE interview was “F love!”

    You think some young girl fanatic of Ri didn’t use this on her bf right after seeing it on this vid? TRUST!

    Ri is just going along with the whole marketing scheme drummed up by her selling machine to get those records sold because grown adults that know better can tell this girl is hurt…and hurt deep…that she is even living this exposed lifestyle and can’t do nothing about it.

    I ain’t convinced one bit by this interview. CB is moving on and she needs to as well. But I don’t think she can.

    She signed up for more than she bargained by messing with the real Big Lip.

  178. Another day

    In the world of pluggin… Rihanna moving up close to the chick that was sleeping and possibly got preggos by her dad, then needed to talk and help other people going thru the same thing 20 years later right about the time her book was about to come out. They killin it 3rd in line, Will and jada’s hot steamy love sessions in the limos and closets everytime they about to do something. Do we all need to move to another planet or does something new just have to happen on this one? Jesus H. Christ i am so sick of them.

  179. NYC Gal

    NYC gal, if you truly love Rihanna stop the name calling of Chris Brown. If people truly are her fans they need to stop calling Chris Brown out of his name and be a little kinder to them both.
    ======================================================
    @ Bluekid

    GTFOFH. You’re just as delusional as your boo Ike Jr. You want me to be kinder to who? You should be the last one to say something like that because you have already thrown Ri Ri under the bus.

  180. JUDY

    I am so proud of RiRi.I look forward to watching the whole interview.She’s not just teaching young girls, she’s teaching old ones too.

  181. bored

    I say we boycott her new CD, in which, I’m proud to say I have never wasted any of my money on this lying heffa, but non the less she should be boycotted for this. And yes! I’m serious.. It was wrong all the way around but since you wanna start talking, tell on your crazy self!

  182. bored

    @Judy, speak for your self. I hope that the young women she so want to inspire now, say the same thing we all have and that’s why did she come out now?

  183. Lala

    Domestic violence is a real problem and until you live it, you cant really know how bad it is.

    Rihanna does have an impact on young girls, and the fact that she speak now, is better than to never address her fans on this issue.

    However, the motive behind it this interview is not genuine. It’s all for self promotion purposes. What she says is right, but she is not saying it for the right reasons.

    And that’s wrong!!

  184. ny

    I think both her and chris are mad as hell they been advised not to be together if they wasnt rough housing so hard *****ody would of ever known and chances are they would still be together. neither have looked the same since and clearly she has been coached. Right before this happened we kept hearing he was tired of being her k fed/ al / mel b’s man ( he is so irrelevant he doesnt even have a name) so maybe someone was tellin her back then if she drops him she will blow all the way up – oh, oh they lied she blew all the way down.

  185. felixxx

    in all honesty the only person she should be speaking to about the incident is mommy and daddy. i feel that this was in poor taste. not that i am supporting chris brown’s actions, its just that you don’t go around talking about stuff like this to everyone because no one will be able to move p***** the situation including the victim.

  186. riri biggest fan

    i knows wat its like to be in her position…thank the most high she dont have a child cause i do…when i look at her rihanna as much as she puts on this hard exterior she is still in love with chris brown…u can see it in her face her body movement…the way she position herself in the chair… the way her eye and mouth looks when she talks…and thats completely normally…like she says she was over and beyond in love….and it will take time to heal cause he shamed her as she also shamed her self….so i respect her for speakin out and i wish her all the blessing in the world….its ok to love him but love him from a distance….keep ur head up rihanna

  187. ...*MOcarsMOclothesMOjewelsMOdoe*...

    Freakin’ hate her! OMG, her and CB are both so whack it should be illegal. Neither one of them make good music- that’s just fact.

    @caramel goddess:
    they should arrest your mother for giving birth to you – idiot

  190. yoyo

    FIRST OF ALL EVERYONE IS ON RIRI SIDE. BUT IT IS ALWAYS TWO SIDES TO THE STORY.NO ONE I MEAN NO ONE SHOULD PUT THEIR HANDS ON SOMEONE. I AM A WOWAN AND I DON’T CARE WHO YOU ARE.KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF. SHE HIT HIM FIRST SOME TIMES. SO THAT IS JUST AS BAD AS HIM.NO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT HER TEMP CAUSE SHE DOES HAVE ONE. AND PEOPLE IN HER CAMP HAS SAID SO.TWO WRONGS DOESN’T MAKE IT RIGHT.SHE IS JUST HAS BAD AS HE IS.LET IT BE A MAN OR WOMAN HIT YOU AND YOU WILL HIT THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  191. Spazzy

    Rihanna can kick rocks honestly.

    I don’t feel her pain or torment.

    What I do feel is a publicity stunt on her end that happened to affect the career of Chris Brown. How convenient for her to speak out now and her album released within the next 2 weeks. I mean come on now. I’m not condoning domestic violence one bit, but where were the media when Ike was beating Tina’s tail or when Brian McKnight was beating his wife or better yet when Lionel Ritchie was getting beat up by his wife. None of those people endured the scrutiny that Chris Brown has and frankly I think it isn’t fair. This is all a part of a bigger plan.

    Rihanna might have 50% of the nation fooled, but not me…Watch…what’s done in the dark will come to light! I don’t know her personally, but Rihanna sends chills up my spine.. I think she’s an hateful person that took this as an opportunity to blow Chris up for cheating on her (if he really did).

    She’s fly as hell…and wreaks of bad news!

  192. MR TELL IT ALL

    This ***** Need 2 stop with the acting like what does she mean she did absolutely nothing wrong..Please!..Oh Yea its Real Genuine 2 start telling your side of the story right before her album is set 2 drop..***** need 2 go somewhere with herself..Take Some Acting Cl*****es as well as some English cl*****es too!!!!

  193. Well Alright.......

    Ri Ri, had better schedule with Oprah very quick! Oprah’s syndicated talk show is leaving syndication within the next two years!! Oprah, will be headed to her “OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) in Los Angeles.

    TELL EM AGAIN!

  195. brown sugar

    people just want to be all up in rihanna’s business whether she spoke before, now, or later. at least she actually had something to say.

  196. cherokee23

    While I don’t condone a man putting his hands on a woman…I don’t think that a woman should put her hands on a man either. It’s not right whoever is doing the hitting and abusing.


  197. Did she say Diane-Most abused women go back 7 times and if I am not mistaken Rihanna said no the stats say 9 times. I thought that is what I heard, but I am confused because people are saying he beat her 9 times. That needs to be cleared up.


  198. F-LOVE- is that role model behavior? Walking around naked is that role model behavior? Russian Roulette is that role model behavior? I could go on but I rest my case enough said. Now you got a record coming out so I guess she will play role model until the album drops. I have mention again is Russian Roulette role model behavior?

  199. dclady

    I think its sad that everyone wants to talk sh*t about Rihanna’s timing and all of her decisions. What if she just needed a couple of months to heal and get over this ridiculousness? Was she supposed to jump on Oprah’s couch with her bruises yet to heal to make everyone else happy? And while she is very sexy and all of that, there is a HUGE LINE between little girls seeing their idol dress a certain way and seeing their idol get beat up and then take it. I do feel bad for Chris’ career however there are things he could be doing (like mentoring and speaking to guys saying ‘dont be like me’) that would make himself look a lot better. He just apologized and then expects everyone to go to his concert in two weeks- it is not that easy and he’s twisted if he thinks so. For everyone here who has something negative to say about Rihanna, STFU. She has a national platform and should use it to tell young women that its never too late to leave that type of situation.

  200. pppp

    she said eff love
    not f*uck love
    only on this site , only on this site
    people make rihanna a role model
    she didnt come and say i am a role model follow me

    also why do you all keep saying , she talking now cause her album is about to drop,
    its the industry – everybody including, whitney, mariah, beyonce, chris brown, and the list goes on everybody has a story when come time for an album to drop.
    silly people .

  201. dclady

    and for you DUMMIES out there, she said “F Love when it comes to making decisions about staying in an abusive relationship.” Girls want to make excuses for their boyfriends bad behavior too much so sometimes you need to step out of it to realize what a piece of sht ur letting into your life. So F love, there’s nothing wrong with that. Haters can twist any words, damn.

  202. Big Titi White Girl

    IM A WHITE GIRL FROM THE ISLANDS. I WON’T SAY WHICH ONE, TOO MANY HATERS. DON’T WASTE UR GOOD GENES ON TRASH. KIDS MIGHT END UP SELLING CRACK AND FIGHTING ON JERRY SPRINGER. ALL COLLEGE EDUCATED BLACK AMERICANS ARE EXEMPT FROM THESE COMMENTS.

  204. BriBri

    what he did was wrong. Just because he did a bad thing does not make him a bad person though. Sometimes people just make bad decisions. But hes admitted that and is trying his hardest to make ammends. Rihanna, i am a fan of yours but come on now, you’ve broken it off for good with chris, you’ve had your interview to tell your side of the story (finally) and we get it youve moved on. so as far as the situation goes you should stop playing it out for as long as you have. I want to see you sing and perform which is why you’re a celeb. Or are you content with being the girl who’s peak of fame at the moment is because your partner abused you?? Show the world that you’re really over chris and give us more music and forget about this stuff!! Do what we love you to do and that’s sing.
    I love chris brown aswell his musics AMAZING!!

  205. TRUE B.

    I LOOOOOVE HER SOOOO MUCH FOR DOING THAT. SHE IS A VERY STONG PERSON AND SHE IS KEEPING IT REAL! MIDDLE FINGER TO THE HATERS!!!! AT LEAST SHE AINT GOIN AROUND FAKIN AND SHAKIN LIKE BEYONCE LOL


  206. who r we to judge…. does it really matter when she said something about the abuse… we all know it happened do you know how hard it must have been for everybody in the world to see you look f. up like that… i know i wouldnt…. would u????

  207. katie

    Gosh!! There are so many ignorant people in the world. Shame a lot of them are black!

  208. itsalwaysunnyinATL

    ok i’m just trying to understand why everyone everywhere is jumping on her saying “its just because she has an album coming out” that may be the case but unless she decided to live under a rock for the rest of her life she was going to have to address this to the public at some point. i am just happy that she acknowledged that she is a role model – and is trying to take some responisbility to some of these girls that look up to her who would consider staying in a violent relationship because she made it seem ok.

    chris was making his rounds and shortly thereafter announced his “fan appreciation tour” and album. pardon me if i don’t see the difference. he was wrong, he admitted it and apologized. no matter what went down he should not have put his hands on her but he’s 19 and made a mistake – its not like he was not brought up in a home with domestic violence. not everyone can break the cycle unscathed. he probably had no idea that it would have the effect that it has but he has time to turn this around if that is what he chooses for himself. they are both trying to move forward hopefully stronger than before. they have to make a living so what does it matter that she didn’t do it when we (i was disappointed too) thought she should have. if she was trying to promote the album and NOT talk about it i’m sure there would have been something said about that. no matter what happens they can’t please everyone and all they owe me is some good music since i will never know them personally. i feel bad for them both because they did not ask for this and yet everyone including myself has an opinion.

  209. Gina

    I hate to say it but she is full of it. Her actions are disgusting, I don’t care how you cipher it. To “speak out” as a part of your promotional tour is exploitation. It degrades all victims of violence.

  210. lizzy

    Wow, you guys are so typical. Just like black people to blame the victim. It is always the woman’s fault. That is so much easier than holding the man accountable for his actions. I’m not surprised by you guys at all. Do you guys get together and plan this or is it strictly socialization?


  211. THERE IS NO WAY SHE COULD PROMOTE HER NEW CD AND NOT DISCUSS THIS.


  212. A lot of these comments appear to be posted by people in Chris’s camp

  213. iFeelFree

    Ughhh, there she goes the trying to look like she didnt do anything…
    I understand that Chris was wrong to put his hands on her but she hasnt even told us what she did to push him that far. They BOTH did something wrong…

  214. KM

    Man rihanna hit chris too lets not forget this. Either way its not good to hit your partner. But rihanna’s accident definetly turns me on. Chris needs to get her back cuz she is a badd *****. Let’s just stop the violence folks. Let’s just get over this. Stuff like this has been happening for years.

  215. CHAMP

    I AM GLAD THAT RIHANNA IS HEALING, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IF YOU GON’ TELL, TELL IT ALL…YOU 2 HAVE FOUGHT EACH OTHER FOR YEARS…IF THE BYSTANDER HADN’T CALLED THE POLICE, WE WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN OF THIS ABUSE. I WONDER IF SHE WOULD STILL BE WITH HIM IF WE HADN’T SEEN THE PHOTO

  216. CHAMP

    LIZZY,

    WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT IT IS ONLY BLACK PEOPLE THAT THINKS SHE IS A VICTIM?

  217. felixxx

    who is blaming the victim? the victim is making a *bahbah* sheep out of herself. if she wanted to air out the pain and suffering she should have went to a shrink. she has a right to refuse answering questions pertaining to the incident.

    you know why she did this interview…

    $$$$$$$$$$$$

    people get paid to do interviews and plus the album dropping. i was trying to be nice.

  218. veve

    big titi whtie girl sounds like she is from jamaica where the whites though a minority rule the country and think they better than the blacks

  219. for real !!

    I was on another site and reports say Rihanna need to come clean….They said she always slap Chris…. Bossip needs to be more up to date with information….they always late.

  220. Lola

    Oh please! Rhianna has just broken her slients because her album is about to drop. She is a coward at best… I DO feel bad for Chris whom is taken the fell for the entire incident! That is not right at all. She plays a MAJOR part in this DV mess. They both grow up in DV homes, so they continue the pattern! Rihanna and Chris both NEED help. Yes, it is WRONG for a man to hit a women! BUT it is also WRONG for a women to hit a man! POINT BLANK! I will not support Rihanna UNTIL she come clean about her part! Because were ONLY hearing one side of this story! and it is much BIG then what were hearing. Rhianna does NOT represent women of DV. I don’t see her as women of the year!what have she done?

  221. v-fromrock

    Good for her and glad she is giving domestic abuse a face..rich or poor,black, white, asian, latino..it happens to all.

  222. bluekid

    Satan decides for Rihanna, he will deal with her soon enough, so lets wait and see, Gods children see what the devil is doing for Rihanna, she looks like she is doing pretty good, I know the Lord is not going to let the devil out shine him. Lets see how things pan out!

  223. Lola

    WE all need to have Chris Brown’s back! because Rihanna is tying to destroy his career. YES, he was wrong… But Rihanna is holding out on information that would shed light to her past! Yes she was abused and she is also the ABUSER!!! It’s amazing she brokes her slients around the same time her album drops. Rhianna is a FAKE NON talented snake! If she wants to speak out about DV… she had a hell of a long time to do so. Y wait until your album is about to drop. The young girls getting their head smashed in had to wait until her album drops for her to take a stand against DV? Smells fishy to me!

  228. slim

    I feel sorry for her but, don’t use domestic violence as a crutch to sell more albums. Why come out now and talk about it? Chris shouldn’t have hit her but the situation happened and he seems to regret it. Riri if you really care about little girls, how about doing something positive instead of walking around looking crazy, dressing naked, and singing songs about killing yourself. This makes it seems like she has just as many issues as he does. It takes 2 to tango….

  229. slim

    she couldn’t even look the lady in the eyes most of the time… I don’t know about you but that is the trait of a liar.

    SISTAHS!!!

    stop it pleaseeeee!!! please stop hating on each other.
    please stop supporting men who abuse us!!
    If chris brown’s mother had stopped supporting an abusive man her son would not have been damaged!!
    he would not think it is OK to hit his girlfriend.
    we need to tell our men we have ZERO tolerance for abuse!!
    chris did not make a mistake.
    a conscious decision is NOT a mistake!!
    Attempted murder is NOT accidental attempted murder.
    he knew exactly what he was doing when he beat that girl MULTIPLE times.
    black women PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE.
    OH GOD PLEASE!!!!
    some of these comments in support of chris brown are BREAKING MY HEART!!!!!!!


  232. RIHANNA WILL GO PLAT IN A WEEK. IT HAS BEEN PROMISED TO HER!! NO DOUBT IN MY MIND.” WHEN THE CLOUDS COME WE GONE” IT WAS A PROMISE MADE TO HER BY “HE”

    @TRENCHEE

    what is the lie exactly? did you not see the picture? did chris brown not admit?
    did he not get a conviction?
    oh you stupid stupid stupid fool!!

  234. bluekid

    Rihanna through Chris Brown under the bus, so it’s time for the both of them to move on. Rain man did make a promise to Rihanna, but we know how the devil keeps his promises. In another month are so you guy will find some body else to whoop up on. Rihanna and Chris Brown is a dead issue. It will get him some one else and she will never experience the abuse that Rihanna experience, Chris Brown will never repeat this incident ever again. Good look to the both of them.

  235. bluekid

    Rain man said Rihanna will always be his, and his alone and this will rang true with every thing is gone; Rihanna career, posing in magazines are gone, shiny lights and shiny cars are no longer, he will be with her in the dark. What in the hell does that mean?

  236. bluekid

    You guys can stop fighting over Chris Brown and Rihanna it’s over!


  237. I am happy she came to her senses and left that boy, he’s so not worth it…I have no sympathy whatsoever for this and he needs to shut up, Rihanna is speaking out and he’s also speaking, he doesn’t want her to have the last word…foolish boy.

  238. bluekid

    Rihanna is Rain mans woman!

  239. bluekid

    Chris Brown is not foolish, he just need to get on with his life and career and leave Rain mans woman alone.

    I LOVE RIHANNA!! stay strong girl!! she has an album coming out but shes talking about the situation now because she has finally gotten over it and moved on and she wants to make sure to help out her fans and she chose this time to let out the true story of what happened. Shes amazing and i love her! im so happy she broke up with him however i do think chris deserves a second chance BUTTT his career will ultimately suffer cuz hitting a woman is just an ultimate no no. sorry!

  241. bluekid

    Listening to Rihanna is like hearing the Devil!

  242. Brooklynite

    Isn’t Rihanna the same girl who did an interview in Complex magazine bragging about how she beat her brother in the head with a gl***** bottle? & admitted she had a bad temper (like most carribbean women) This chick has issues.. We already know Chris was wrong.. He’s paying for it (even if you don’t think it’s enough). But this chick is no angel and she’s lucky Chris loves her enough not to put her on full blast. There were several reports saying how clingy and possessive she was.. even reports saying how she used to hit on him. No excuse for what was done, but he flipped. & I wish this ***** would STFU.. and let women who have been thru real domestic abuse speak out. But at the end of the day.. talent speaks for itself..

  243. dia

    they are young, really young, but i dont think shes speaking becasue of publicity for her CD. She was ready to drop an albu m and she would HAVE to make appearances and what else would they be talking about so she wants to get this out of the way.

  244. Brooklynite

    & I wish you bitter chicks would aiming your anger at Chris Brown. He didn’t hit you or your family member. Take the anger out on the person responsible. People act as if this dude is the blame of all domestic violence acts. Earth to you morons: Women hit too! & Like my mom always told me (growing up with a lot of brothers) don’t hit someone unless you expect to get hit back. You keep pushing someone and eventually they’re gonna jump off the deep end. [ I used to like this chick, but I've seen so many girls like her and it disgusts me to even hear her voice anymore ]. I can’t wait til this ‘RiRi’ fad is over and she’s singing at local strip clubs in Barbados for $25 a show.

  245. Brooklynite

    Would stop* aiming your anger at Chris brown.

    It’s hard to believe this story is still going strong. They’re just making Chris even more famous and solidifying his place as one of the world’s most well-known artists. Chris could not pay for publicity like this even if he wanted to. Stay positive, Chris, and you’ll be OK.

  248. I- C-Now

    I can’t wait to see the whole interview

  249. ugghh shut up ri ri

    uggghhh i hope somebody beat her ***** again. i cant stand that hoe

  250. ugghh shut up ri ri

    oh yea and chick is ugly

  251. Mock

    I think Rihanna is on drugs…I kept waiting for her to say, “Crack is wack”

  252. wow

    Chris has come clean, moving on. check
    Rhianna has new album out. check
    When did this happen? When celebs dish on each other in public (not cool) – they need to talk to the person(s) who did them harm (oops, a restraining order) and seek professional or legal (check) help.

  253. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAP!!!!

    I think it is merely a coincidence that she is speaking out on this subject matter and appealing to women who are in physically abusive relationships now. I think it’s purely by chance that she is baring her soul around the same time as the release date for her new cd. I also believe in ‘Baphomet’ and the ‘Illuminati.’ And the Sandman.

  254. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAP!!!!

    Hi, Mock.

  255. whozoer

    bluekid you hit the nail right on the head. she just looks like she’s evil and lying.


  256. How is a person suppose to speak there mind if they can’t say what they want?


  257. I THINK THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW WAS ORCHESTRATED, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I THINK THEY NEED TO GO THEIR SEPARATE WAYS, AS FOR CHRIS YOU CAN ONLY GO UP FROM THIS POINT!!!!!

  258. Angel

    Blah blah blah. Isn’t she still in contact with Chris?

  259. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAP!!!!!

    I wouldn’t be surprised if these two are still smashing while playing the public like a fiddle.

  260. HALEY

    DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HAPPENS TO A LOT OF MEN AND WOMEN EVERYDAY. BUT BY THE WAY THAT THIS INTERVIEW LOOKS, SHE IS JUST TRYING TO PLAY THE VICTIM AND THROW HIM UNDER THE BUS. HE SHOULD HAVE NOT PUT HIS HANDS ON HER, BUT WHAT PEOPLE FAIL TO REALIZE IS RHIANNA IS A BIG GIRL. HER AND CHRIS ARE THE SAME HEIGHT AND PROBABLY JUST AS STRONG. WHEN THINGS COME ALONG LIKE THIS YOU CAN NEVER BE ONE SIDED. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN HITTING HIM AS MUCH AS HE WAS HITTING HER. SHE HAS ISSUES THAT CLEARLY GO BEYOND THEIR RELATIONSHIP. ALWAYS HAVE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. NOT JUST WOMEN ARE VICTIMS YOU KNOW.

  261. nunya bizness

    I don’t believe her. Hollywood is known for theatrical makeup.


  262. CHRIS TOLD HIS SIDE ON LARRY KING , AND NOW ITS TIME FOR RIHANNA TO TELL HER PART, AND SINCE IT HAPPEN TO HER SHE HAS A RIGHT TO TELL IT WHEN EVER SHE DAM WELL PLEASE. AND WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT DO NOT IN ANY WAY REFLECT RIHANNAS THINKING ARE ACTIONS SHE HAVE GOT NEW MUSIC COMING AND SO DOES CHRIS SO WHAT!!!!!!

  263. halo

    uh for all the ignorant *****es jumping on rhianna on how she speaks: NEWS FLASH: SHE IS FROM THE CARRI BEAN; SHE IS BARBADIAN! AND I MUST SAY HER DICTION IS BETTER THAN BEYONCES WHO I MIGHT ADD WAS BORN IN THIS COUNTRY AND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE A BETTER EDUCATION FOR FREE THAN THOSE IN THE CARIBBEAN WHO HAVE TO PAY FOR IT! AND RHIANNA IS MIXED! HER FATHER IS BI-RACIAL AND HER MOTHER IS BLACK! YOU SEE HER EYES? WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK SHE GOT THEM? GET A CLUE PLEASE!

  264. charm

    veve:

    rhianna is from Barbados do yourself a favor and get your damn islands straight. and color prejudice doesn’t exist in the Caribbean but cl***** prejudice does. that means, the rich whether they be white or black think that they are better than the poor and treat them as such. so once again; get a clue and an education please!


  265. Hitting a woman is always wrong , But i have three son and was a battered women myself. All of you mom’s out there with little girls make sure to teach them that hitting is wrong also. I know this young man was wrong but know this she hit him too if not first. And if you hit a dog enough times he WILL BITE.

  269. a black man

    this is why some black women and some black men will forever stay ignorant and useless. Chris brown even admitted to beating her he even said it himself that he is the one to blame.
    women should know that when a woman is beat up in the face by someone they usually cover it up with makeup

  270. TDW

    I am so sick of Rihanna playing the victim. Yes, Chris should definitely not have beat her down the way he did…but when you put your hands on someone (which she apparently has done repeatedly and publicly) you have to accept the consequences that go along with that. It’s unfortunate for her that those consequences were a black eye, a busted lip and the media’s invasion of the little privacy she had. And the fact that she decides to do this interview now that her album is coming out is sketchy at best as far as I’m concerned!!


  271. they are milking this for all its worth! THREE DAYS to see the entire interview???????

  272. shyRock

    Rihanna is pure evil…it shows in her eyes.

    I do agree that a man should never hit a woman however.

  273. MARSHA

    “I just hate the fact that she is coming out now when Chris Brown is trying to get his life together and move on.”

    Translation: Rihanna is selfish for talking publicly about her abusive relationship with Chris when he has a new album to promote. She should stay silent.

    “The pics of her being abused WERE NOT as bad as everyone made them out to be.”

    Translation: Chris isn’t a bad guy. He only beat up Rihanna’s face a little bit! I’ve seen worse!

    “DAMN, CHRIS HAS NO ONE TO STAND-UP FOR HIM, EVERYONE HAS BOWED DOWN TO RIHANNA.”

    Translation: Poor Chris, all he did was beat up a woman a little bit! (BTW, half the people on here are attacking Rihanna, not Chris)

    “She walks around in provocative clothes, with her azz and nipples showing, while running the town with a married man. Her 1st single is about suicide and she’s a role model?… I really wish Chris would come out and expose her azz for who she really is. Time will releive the truth if he doesn’t. ”

    Translation: Rihanna deserved her beat down for being a ***** and writing depressing lyrics.

    “This interview I got nothing from it. Chris interview seemed rehersed like a mug and it seemed so much more real.”

    Translation: Chris feels really bad about beating her up! Poor Chris! Rihanna is clearly a b*** who has no emotions.

    “WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THIS RIHANNA/CB INCIDENT I JUST THOUGHT CHRIS BROWN WAS WRONG. BUT THERE ARE TWO SIDE TO A STORY AND RIHANNA’S SIDE IS WAY TO SKETCHY. SHE ACTS ALL “GANGSTA” AND WHEN SEEN IN PHOTOS SHE ACTS LIKE SHE HAS THIS “BAD *****” ATTITUDE. EVEN IN HER RECENT VIDEOS SHE LOOKS LIKE SHELL CUT A *****”

    Translation: Rihanna deserves this because she acts “all gangsta” and probably did something to cause Chris to hit her.

    SUMMARY: Rihanna is a sl*t and acts inappropriately and sings dark songs. I think she seems like a violent person. Therefore, if she was beat up by Chris, she deserved it. Plus, he didn’t beat her up that bad. She shouldn’t have broken his heart of left him, and she really shouldn’t be interfering with his album sales by speaking out. Poor, poor Chris.

    Cannot believe some of these comments. People, recognize this situation for what it is. Rihanna did not ask to be beaten up by Chris, and had to talk about this sometime before she could move on to promote her album. I don’t think she’d prefer to talk about it at all, but she probably wants to move on. We are all children of God, and when one of us is victimized and is hurt, we should pray for them instead of hurting them more. I feel sorry for Chris too, but what he is dealing with is his own doing. I hope he makes his peace with God. But hating Rihanna for what happened is completely

    IT NEEDED TO BE POSTED AGAIN! for some of these idiots that are totally clueless


  274. [...] Rihanna was on Good Morning America today for part two of her breaking interview, where she speaks out on her domestic violence situation, continues to toss Breezy under the bus, but admits to still loving him as a person.

  275. sheripie

    Ya’ll all know Ri-Ri thought she was gonna go rastafaran in Chris and it backfired on her tail! She say he hit her 8-9 times before..but my thing is WHAT WAS SHE DOING TO PROVOKET HIM and all ya’ll know we as women can provoke a man cuz we want to get a rise and reaction out of him cuz we made..i thnk she did some hitting to but this time Chris just snaped and granted her wish and now she crying poor me trying to promote her new cd her career is not affected as much as his cuz she crying “victim” and again we know she probably started it all off! that’s what happens when you can’t keep your hands to yourself and thiking that its okay for you to hit on a man and he ain’t gonna finally snap after countless of times of telling you to gone or leave me alone…think about it! we all have brothers or sisters that we provoked when we were little and we did it cuz we could jus tto get a rise or reaction out of them and she thought he was a punk and got the surprise of her life!

  278. ToppledOver

    Okay..but still i thinkk that she is not that innocent in all of this..it seems that she did something that caused him to go off like this..i am not excusing Chris’s actions..but sometimes emotions get out of control between two people and things can get carried away…remember that next time rhi-rhi don’t provoke anyone…especially angry people…

  279. cuteme

    ok she’s in TINA TURNER MODE… U KNO’ CUE “WHAT LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT,WHAT’S LOVE ….

  280. Nik9

    She came off real arrogant. Let the boy live. She aint innocent, not that she deserved it. We all make mistakes, hopefully he has learned from this. Live your life!
