And somehow she’ll make it all about her…

@ Aunt Viv

You can bet that!!!

Women who are influential should speak out against domestic violence.

Women who are influential should speak out against domestic violence.

then they should have been speaking out about it way before this. They shouldn’t have waited until someone famous became a victim of it to speak out about it.

If this would have been an everyday person, the show topics would have been Make-overs and some celebrity and how happy they are in life. They might be using it to speak out against it, but they are also using it for exposure.

I’m so tired of people expoiting this Chrianna situation.

should read…*exploiting

Oprah, Tyra, Gale, Robin Givens… all of these heifers need to shut the hell up and mind their own damn business.
Chris Brown IS NOT O.J. Simpson ! This was an isolated incident that has been blown out of proportion. Again, no one knows what the hell happened. All we’ve heard is rumors from STD’s to stilettos upside the head to sex-texing. Let’s retire this damn story.

Im going back to africa where a man can beat his wife in peace…. joking

These ppl are not going to stop until this little boy commits suicide. Dear God!!!

Why was it ok for Rhianna to hit him? I just don’t get it.

I guess they didn’t read the arrest warrant like I did I see that most of those things that Rhianna claimed transpirred were not plausible.

I guess foreheads have to stick together.

She talking abotu Chris Webber, he was a dog to her.

Everybody hates Chris

Women (and men) get beat up every day by their spouses or significant others and no one makes a big deal out of it. But because it happened to this trick… it’s a big deal…I just don’t get it. What about women who really do get beat up?

She said that it happened before, where are the bruises. She wears as little clothes as possible and I haven’t seen any bruises.

Why cant boys defend themselves? I know I would not want some chick beating my father, brother or son.

Go Tyra! I refuse to read the comments from some of these retards..

That top is Sasha Fierce

Again, the ignorance is glaring…*exiting this thread and SMDH*

Why do people who can’t scream loud enough, or whose opinion is ignored by others always quick to call someone stupid? Not everyone is going to agree with a particular point of view. If you think it’s great that’s you but that doesn’t make someone else having a different opinion stupid. It’s their opinion. Sheesh!

@ “RE-RE” THANK U,THANK U,THANK U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I COULDNT’VE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!!!!!!!!

I really don’t understand why Oprah is having this subject on her show…I want her for the first time to have a show about women living with their boyfriend for many years…Talk about women who deserves a man who want to marry her and not shacking like her and Stedman… What happened to marriage Oprah??

Better yet have a great show with President Obama and the economy…Have him to promise all of us he will not borrow money from the Chinese government…If that happens I promise I moving out of the country…China will have so much control over us…

I was listening to a radio show with these little girls calling in about how they boyfriend beats them and its OK and how they can handle it and everyone is over reacting about Chris Brown. And how they hate Rhianna. And if they were with Chris Brown they would have stayed with him and how they can’t believe she would ruin his life..

When you have young girls who are young, dumb and impressionable like this, it is important to battle all that nonesense with as many messages denouncing violence again women as we can.

It was SHOCKING. If its not treated as horrific as it is, it will become acceptable.
There was a time, when men wouldn’t allow another man to hit any woman. Slowly, that fabric of manhood has worn away and look at what we have now.

A bunch of punks.

God would everybody just shut up about this already, as if this is the first time a celebrity couple as faced this kind of thing.. Hello Whitney and Bobby,Madonna and Sean , Pam and Tommy Lee, Josh Brolin and Diane Lane…The list goes on…and for everyone saying he can’t get over this , well it looks like we just gave Mr.Sean Penn an Oscar so i think he will be able to move forward. PEOPLE CAN OVERCOME THIS!! it seems like there are alot of close minded people on these boards who have forgotten about counseling and forgiveness. And As if this is any of our business. This should only be between Chris and Rhianna. I do not look to up celebrities as role models and for all you complainers saying ur kids look up to them…you need to parent them better and tell them what is right and wrong not let the TV do it for you. These people are just making a living and i do not think that they should suffer based on what goes on in their personal lives!!! IF i beat up my husband i wouldn’t be fired from my job cause they don’t care!!

I am pleased that Oprah and Tyra are doing shows regarding this matter. Tyra was in an abusive relationship with Chris Webber so she could enlighten people on the topic. I hope they are not doing it for ratings.

He hit her she hit him same difference! People need to mind their own. She took him back BIG F*CKIN DEAL! Its her life..why are we losin sleep over it?

clearly y’all black women like to get beat.

no wonder your men be killing y’all like mother fu..ing flies!!

Maybe Tyra’s current boyfriend abuses her.

Lawd, Tyra is on Oprah right now…

lol isn’t rhi back with chris….what’s the moral of the story???

I’m not making light of any woman being abuse but some people are truly taking advantage of this situation just to get in the spotlight, I even saw Nicole Brown Simpson sister on tv. last night trying to get her 5 minutes in..And I don’t believe for one minute that Trya has been abused, every woman who has had a man yell at her want’s to be the face of domestic violence, give me a break.

Aunt Viv is right. She will dominate the show talking about herself just like she does on every other she’s ever been on.

o great…now ERRAONE got a beaten…got dammit can we not get thru tha day w/o a CO-SIGN?!?

nite all!

What hurts me the most is when some people say:
-Rihanna deserved it!

So if Rihanna deserved it, does that mean every other woman who has been hit/killed by their boyfriend/husband deserved it too?

I dont think so.

i saw the Oprah show live with Tyra and it was terrible. Maybe because I am in my 20s and I hate to be talked down on like I am some idiot. or maybe because I work in TV and feel like the show wasn’t produced right…the segments didn’t flow together and it seemed all over the place.

Anyway, I think the message was still good but the show itself was lacking.

I did like that it was acknowledged that these are KIDS (RiRi and CB) involved in a very adult situation. I hate it how grown folks are putting down these KIDS.

Although instead of spending all that time in the studio, CB and RiRi need to be in intense therapy so they wont grow up into dysfunctional adults.

@ DIVINE,

The reason why I listed all of the older celebrities because adults like Oprah, Robin Givins and Nicole Brown sister who was on Larry King last night…They were on the show as if including Oprah comparing this case to their past abusive relationships with Mike Tyson and OJ Simpson…Yes they are adults but people are bashing these kids like they are in their 20s and they know better.

I have a doctorate degree in Forensic Pathology and minor in Psychology and see this happen all the time…I had 4 cases last year of 3 deceased women who died from domestic violence and one male from domestic violence. So I know what it looks like on the outside. They are on my autopsy lab all the time. But the sad thing is when you bash someone you are not helping the situation..No matter who hit who and you will never what happened know that both the victim (assuming Rhianna) and Chris will both feel like it was there fault at some degree..So by you looking on the outside looking in they both are becoming to feel like it was there fault..She will it is her fault because she told the police and he will think it is his fault he shouldnt done what he did…When that happens they both will start feeling guilty and only one is guilty,
the abuser…
Working with police and crime scene what you guys must realize that no matter what you will never get the official copy of the affidavit…That is not made public and everyone will have to sign a gag order..So this affadavit everyone has seen online is not the real one..Every OFFICIAL affadavit will include a picture of a female body with marks showing where the bruises and a full statement..What you saw was not a full statement. When you see a complete statement you will see his statement as well..Why because that is part of the case. What you see going around online is a summary with many many things left out..
Trust me these things are more complicated and have more paper work than what you saw..If that was the true picture of her trust me the police at the hospital are required to take at 15 head shots of a abuse victim even if it was in the face…

Yes many of you are right black people will never get anywhere…But at the same time I get more black on black crime than abuse…So my thing is we black people need to quit bashing one another and for once form a unity with one another…We dont have that and if this story didnt show many nothing else it showed YES we have a long way to go…

I agree with the comments that say this should’ve already been brought to light…..why did it have to take a celebrity for someone like tyra and oprah two very influential women to want to speak about this subject….damn i mean this happens all the time but you never hear about it…..but as soon as a celebrity gets put in that situation o!!!!!now we have to give it our undivided attention….sad i just hope they make it about the people and not about themselves….

tyra gets a hoe sit down-every damn thing somebody goes through,she has to find a way to make it about her.Fivehead,sit down and shut up!!

I said it once and i’ll say it again something in the milk ain’t clean and whats done uin the dark always comes to the light

RE RE-
How can you possibly defend R. Kelly

I think all the publicity drawn to the Chris/Rihanna saga is counterproductive The Rihannas of the world r now going to be afraid to come forward fearing the scandalous repercussions Oprah should have reached out to those kids in confidence Chris can b reformed He can change Rihanna’s dad has been on drugs all her life He did not lead by example so How can she know what to look for in a man yet he’s quick to talk to the press Everyone is capitalizing on this when the only one suffering is RiRi Have some real compassion already We can help by respecting their privacy She has already heard our take She now has noone else to turn to but him THANKS She is not only a victim but a poster child for what happens when we tell Sadly the public scorn shoved them right back together Thanks

@ Shauna,Bigmamaj

I agree with both of you and what you are saying..Bigmamaj I said the same thing in my post above yesterday about Oprah and sleeping with Stedman..She is letting young woman think it is ok to shack with a man for all of these years and not feel worthy to be married by him…

@ Lynn
From what I hear her current boyfriend is a real piece of work. I would be incredibly surprised if he wasn’t at the very least verbally abusing her too.

Damn does Tyra have to make everything about her, It’s so annoying. She has a damn story for everything and advice for every body. I don’t know but im so over her right now, Like Ihave the same feelings for her like haters have for Beyonce.
