@ CoriKaru: Where did you read that?

I think the picture is real. The LAPD released a statement. They are looking for the person that leaked it.

what the **** omg Chris Brown is DISGUSTING. I never would of thought her injuries would be that bad...and that picture was definitely taken after they cleaned her up.

Oh wow >_<; It's really hard to see her like that...

I RAGED when I saw the photo on TMZ.Seriously,it's so sad to see someone so beat up...

The beating of Rihanna...the release of this photo is COMPLETELY DESPICABLE! It is TOTALLY inappropriate and just plain wrong. Words cannot express the rage that is flowing through my veins right now.

All I can say is that Chris Brown beat the **** out of Rihanna and he deserves to go to PRISON! In addition to that statement, I would like to add that whoever leaked this photo to TMZ should be required by the law to face prison time as well. It is one thing to beat some one, but it is another thing to exploit the victim's pain in this manner.

I don't give a damn about ANYTHING she may have done---VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN, VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN---VIOLENCE AGAINST ANYONE SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED BY LAW, AND NEITHER SHOULD THE EXPLOITATION OF IT!

probably the sweetie chris brown didn't liked something about her...

honestly i hate Rihanna, but i feel bad for her after seeing that picture. i still think chris brown is going to continue to have a strong career though

I saw this picture earlier and was well and truly shocked by what I saw.
It's seriously disgusting.

dang. chris brown had some friggin anger problems D:

Well, if the law doesn't take care of Chris Brown, someone else will, I bet.

(Jay-Z, I'm looking at you.)

that's what I'm thinking....
If he gets a slap on the hand for this then that's ****ing wrong, and if the music industry counties to support an artist like him that's equally horrible. I never want him to release a damn thing again, he shouldn't get a second chance for this... when I first viewed the photo this afternoon I was sick! She looked like a dead corpse to me, and I know that in person she looked far worse since there is a bit of contrast on her face due to the camera.... It's crazy this happened so close to me... that entire night of the Grammys all I could think about was Rihanna.

That's just sick, I saw the picture on TV. I hope he gets punished for what he did. I also hope whoever leaked the photo is punished.

Sick.

Ugh I saw the photo on my local newspaper... my friend was so SHOCKED at the extent of her injuries that he just think it was fake!

I mean whoa, Chris Brown has some SERIOUS anger issues. He should be jailed... gosh and WHAT ON EARTH is Rihanna's problem? She has reconciled with Chris Brown? Wtf? Omg girl time to wake up!

Wait, when did she reconcile? I thought she was still recovering?

LOLWUT?You gotta be kidding.

I swear to God... Chris Brown had better do some serious jail time. And damn his music career to hell. Anyone who still supports him after is out of their damn mind.

^Amen to that.

I don't care if she frickin' gave him an STD, or even insulted his mother---NO WOMAN, OR HUMAN BEING deserves to be battered in this manner! From the looks of the pictures, it looks as if he hit her AT LEAST five times...And if the rumors about him biting her arm and fingers are true, he's even more of a madman than I could've ever imagined a person to be.

Poor girl. Nobody deserves to be put through the crap she was put through.

I hope Chris Brown's career is over.

I just feel really sad for Rihanna now. Though I don't really listen to her, or no much about anything about her... I just feel that such an act is just inhumane.

ugh what's your problem? you need to GTFO. After some of the PMs I've seen you send, and after this....I just really have no respect for you anymore.


This is just...really upsetting. It's such a horrible feeling to want bad things to happen to others...but seriously...this is just not okay.

(I went and bought Good Girl Gone Bad (Reloaded). Sell Me Candy is ridiculously catchy.)

After this incident, Chris Brown has likely lost a good chunk of his fanbase (majority female), although there's guaranteed to be some that will excuse his behavior. It's nice to see Rihanna's sales go up by more than 30% though - at least members of the public support her.

What a sad incident. :(

^It's stupid the number of celebs who are excusing Chris's behavior. I remember reading that rapper T.I. was acting like it was no big deal, and some other guy, I think from SNL. All of them seem to be black males. I don't mean to turn this into a race issue, but with their attitudes they are adding to the negative stereotype that many decent black guys have to deal with. Stop acting like women are just sexual objects!

The creepy thing is that people ARE excusing his behavior~ it's sick! I've been reading AOL news, TMZ etc, and a lot of people are behind Chris and his actions... they think Rihanna DID something to make him do what he did.... I feel 100% for Rihanna and no human being deserved to be treated in that matter. Just go to an AOL news board and read all the sick comments, it makes one think about how different people really are in this world (However, it's more like AOL is geared towards people in the US)

Oh my God, you mean... there are people who actually SUPPORT Chris Brown's behavior and think it's OKAY to bash up a woman until her face is in such a condition?

Oh God, just what is our society becoming to? Personally, Chris Brown's actions ARE NOT justified at all. I'm sorry for actually thinking that Rihanna "had it coming" since she knew she had an abusive boyfriend and yet is still tactless with him. I'm really sorry for that.

After seeing the state of Rihanna now... I just feel so offended, shocked and disgusted by Chris Brown. Right now, I really don't care what on earth Rihanna has said to Chris Brown; his actions will NEVER EVER be justified, WHATSOEVER.

And I read my local newspapers today. Apparently, Rihanna is 'appalled' at Chris Brown's "apology" on the net. It contradicts the news I read earlier on in this thread that Rihanna has decided to reconcile with Chris Brown, but I hope the newspapers are right. She should never consider reconciling.

Chris Brown is disgusting, and I hope he goes to jail... I feel really sad for Rihanna. May she recover fast and still be as beautiful as she was.

I think I love you:luv2(just kidding)~

People are really shocked around where I live,my mom was so sad when she saw the photo.It's nice that people aren't supporting Chris Brown here anymore.

Chris Brown's "apology" wasn't even that. More than anything, it was a PR response, which is appalling. I understand that his team's goal is to keep his career afloat, although in this case, it's a lose-lose situation for him. Letting out a timid PR response makes him look like trash, but outright admitting what he did and apologizing would prove it was his fault, and he and his team probably aren't ready to take that career risk. Ideally, he'd send a serious apology to Rihanna in private, but I doubt that's happened either.

It's sickening to see parts of the public support him, especially after Rihanna's photo surfaced. She did something to him, and that makes it her fault? Even if she did do something to him, I don't see him in a hospital with bruises, so it's hardly an applicable statement. It's like saying women who wear mini-skirts and tight shirts are asking to be raped, so it's their fault if that happens. I can't believe some of the ridiculousness that goes on in this world. Are men not adults who can be held responsible for their actions?

His music sucks anyway, locking him up would do us all a favor :thumbsup

That was mean as hell...:D

love this comment.
thats pretty much exactly on the spot.
good job. :)

In the picture it looks like her earrings were ripped off, and her neck has bruising on it. Or maybe it's just me. The picture is so sad. Chris Brown is a bastard.

LOL! But seriously, I've never listened to any of his songs... Rihanna; I've at least heard Good Girl Gone Bad.

I completely agree with this:yes.

Lmao, I think an ice pack for a present would be best of this occasion

Anyway, I'm on nobody's side, we don't know the full story yet so I'm not calling Rihanna's or Chris' side.

I don't understand it.

there's a difference between being in the "doghouse" for like texting another girl lets say, and being in the doghouse for beating up your current girlfriend.

wth is wrong with these people.

Because an iPod can solve all your problems. Apple would like us to think so, anyway.

Chris, you're gonna have to get on your knees and beg before I think of considering you as anything more than a sick freak.

It would take more than presents to get on my good side after something like that... I hope Rihanna feels the same.

Oh yeah, materialistic stuff to make me appeased after you tore my face apart. Woo. :rolleyes

OMG AN IPOD?Wtf is wrong with that?It's not gifts(cheap gifts btw)that will mend physical damage.Chris Brown should grow up and be a man.

I managed to find another forum talking about this.

http://www.sleepywood.net/forum/show...19#post9285540

They seem to have a bit more information about why they fought and all that. Have fun reading!

Only an iPod? An iPhone at least. LOL
Rihanna shouldn't stay with him, she's just going to get hurt again. D:

The guy deserves to be in Jail with a brutality like that, he had no right to hit her I cant believe he would do that yeah he does need help still I dont think Rihanna or Rihanna fans will forgive him, and rightfully so they should not.

The funny thing was that there are still people supporting Chris Brown's actions. Like total lol man. It's just getting sick if anyone supports Chris Brown!

In any case, does anyone have any updates on Rihanna? Like is she recovering well or something?

Ouch if she put on make up with her face in that condition... Oh, speaking of her birthday party, the link that I posted earlier on had someone mention about Rihanna wanting to invite Chris Brown over, but her friends stopped her or something.

Like did she have her common sense bashed away too?

^ Maybe Rihanna was gonna lay the smack down on him. Rofl. Man totally deserves it. Let's see how he likes getting beaten up to a pulp!

I think it's because for some reason, women (and sometimes men) like to take their crap partners back. We know they are an ass, but for some reason we can't stay away.

But, if she looked good at her party, I'm starting to have doubts. I would love for this story to come out in full, with no fuzzy details.

Its the same reason why couples stay together even after one of them finds out the other one was having an affair.

Poor Rihanna T_T

Yeah, I know someone I should probably stay away from but it's hard to >_<; He never hit me though! I think that's a line that once it's crossed it's over! Why would you go back to someone who physically hurt you... Wouldn't you be scared?

Btw, who is that in your signature, she looks familiar, but I don't know who it is...

:O Rihanna gets Clarie's power in Heroes and healed! Okay Chris would be going to court next week... let's just see if there are going to be any charges charged at that time.

No visible injuries? That's peculiar...

She probably loaded up on makeup before stepping out, and her bruises have likely partially healed already. It's a sensitive subject to her, and it's bad enough the whole world knows, so there's no way she'd go out into the public showing off what happened.

Whats so surprising about her looking okay now, its not like bruises don't heal. The swelling subsides after a while and all theres left are bruise marks that can easily be covered by makeup

I had forgot about T.I.'s song with Rihanna. That makes his comments even more ****-headed. I vote we slap T.I. up and see how he feels. Even better, let Jay-Z have a go at him.

Kayne West on Chris Brown/Rihanna
 

...

that's not right....it is not "only" making a criminal threat. making a crimicnal threat is a more serious charge than domestic abuse. see the link below for explanation.

http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/09/chris-...ars-in-prison/

Wtf :irked :eviltongu

Kanye West needs to stfu and never open his mouth again. :S

No we can't give Chris Brown a break for behaving so ungentlemanly!

But anyway, the fact that Rihanna can chill at the beach looking all right shows that she has more or less gotten better I hope. But I hope this doesn't give Chris Brown a more lenient sentence or anything.

A lot of stupid **** comes out of his mouth. It honestly makes me feel bad for liking his music.

YES YES I AGREE WITH YOU LOLLLLL I am SO not surprised. -edited due to offensive comment once again sorry about it-

Apparently they're back together? What's Rihanna thinking :(

http://perezhilton.com/2009-02-28-ri...ther-again-wtf

Well in this case that makes no sense because Rihanna is black too :/

Oh Rihanna... nooooooooo D:

OMG I shouldn't laugh at that but I did. lol

Yeah, I am wondering what is going on. When ti first came out I couldn't believe it, but just today I read they are back together. :thud

Did you forget that Rihanna was Black? What you said makes no sense whatsoever. Come on, now. If it is true then how come he didn't support Rihanna? What is your excuse now?

well he's not going against rihanna, he's just telling the media to leave chris brown alone and stop insulting him. I don't see how that affects rihanna's case in any way >_> sorry if I offended anyone but sometimes i think very lowly of kanye for the things he's done and said previously. How can he support chris brown like that after chris brown nearly killed the poor girl :( ~! and say that the VMA didn't pick him and pickd britney during her blackout era cuz he's black... I dunno maybe i'm jumping into too many conclusions. Sorry if I offended anyone with that comment. Its just the kanye west makes a few too many comments about race. Like how he said George bush hates black people in hurricane katrina, the VMA, and now he's telling people to give chris brown a break even and people make mistakes!? What kinda mistake is beating a woman 1/2 to death :S! I'm sure kanye made mistakes but I'm pretty sure this would've never happened. Like I know he's probably friend's with chris brown, but to say something like this is just outrageous. Thats why i made such a connection. SOrry if it was rude for making such a mean assumption>< ~! I just felt that atm and said whats on my mind without thinking.

BTW I dont have anything against black people jsut in case people think I'm racist now for saying that o_o! I don't have anything against black people. Its just some of the comments kanye makes are so.... surprising to me and just shows this to me. Like I use to love chris brown's music and thought he was great dancer and a nnice guy until this happened... and althought I don't like rihanna's music, I respect her as an artist because she can sing live and dance live. I love alicia keys, she's a great vocalist, composer and she's so pretty! Its just the comments kanye has made over his career drive me insane =_= ~! I shall edit my comment though because I can feel the offensive nature of it now that i realize it. I'm not saying that you guys called me racist. I just want to make sure that other people don't get this impression from my comment o_o"

WTF they're back together again. I voted NO! at the Perez Hilton's blog!

If something like this happens again, I won't feel sorry for her in the least. Stupid girl.

I don't think that people were getting that idea, but just pointing out that the comment didn't make much sense because Rihanna is also black. Kanye does seem to love to make racially charged comments, but I don't think that is relevant in this case. This time, he was just being stupid.

Don't worry, no one is mad at you or anything! I think that Sweet's and my comment were taken wrong.

It's difficult to leave abusive relationships, or so I've heard, so while I wish she'd done differently, I won't pass judgment on Rihanna for staying with Chris Brown. It's likely a lot of emotional/mental abuse was involved for her to hold onto the relationship. (She probably believes she can change him and/or there won't be a second time, but who knows.) With all the publicity surrounding, hopefully one (or both) of two things will happen:

1) Chris Brown actually does change for the better, and permanently.
2) Rihanna eventually dumps him and finds someone much, much better.

I read on Perez Hilton that Rihanna's father supported her decision to take Chris back. But, then again it is Perez.

But, no doubt that Chris is gonna beat her again. Although, we may or may not hear about it.

Yeah, I think Rihanna has thought "I can change him" thought... I hope she's right. But again, yeah, I agree with you guys... Chris Brown's impression of Rihanna now is that, WHATEVER he does to her, she'll forgive him etc... which equates to a free punching bag.

I wish the best for them.

I hope Rihanna will recover from the injuries...

Gandhi wouldn't approve, but a nose for a nose doesn't leave the whole world nose-less. :)

Her nose is crooked. And she still takes him back. *CLAP CLAP*

And wow 'cried'. Chris Brown 'cried'. Gosh I don't know... Rihanna is too soft. She needs a BFF who stands up and slaps Chris Brown and screams something like "Go punch someone else!"

Married??

http://perezhilton.com/2009-03-05-ri...ged-or-married
http://www.starmagazine.com/news/15305

Ok, not the most reliable sources. Cause this would be insane.

Okay... I know that sometime woman can be so darn annoying and thus sometime they deserve a slap on the face. This is my statement as a woman myself. BUT, this is overkill. I myself don't really care about this, but since this thread crosses me, I really can't shut my mouth up over this, a little late I know. But CB really needs to go to at least an anger management class. No matter who started it first, even if Rihanna was the one who provoked him, all she deserved, if it was true, was just a slap on her face, usually a slap is enough to cool an angry woman down. But when it involved beating, choking whatever classy words to describe this situation, this has gone so incredibly wrong. He deserves a good period of jail time.

edit: And about Rihanna is reconciling with CB, as an Asian with pretty strong Asian tradition, it IS good only if they are married couple, where u have to sort out all problems, disagreements, whatever no matter how hard or harsh they are. But if they are just 'going out' it IS not wise for her to come back to him

I feel like slapping Rihanna for taking back a man who is so violent... the details of their fight in the car is just gross...

So, then, Rihanna didn't really do much to really deserve the beating? She just read a text message??

nigahiga made a video on this topic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIhsh...e=channel_page

=( poor girl

chris brown i hate you =X

At first I just thought Rihanna was being annoying as hell and he just slapped her and the media completely blew it up.

But after I read that report.. Poor girl :no I hope he never does that to her again! I don't care if he's put in jail, I don't care if she takes him back, I just want this to never happen again!
