I really just want to let Chris know that I give all my love an respect to him for handling this situation as a man. Even though she has put him on blast, told all his Personal business to the world, he still haven’t battered her name what so ever. ………… he’s accepting what he has done so all there is for him to do is pray about it and move on with his life!!!!!! Love you Chris B.

I am soooo proud of Chris, he took the hardest road and the “higher” road by not airing all the personals. I know that time heals all as I think of other celebrities who had their personal life turned inside out by the media and now have gone on to do bigger and better things. Chris you are loved and you are going on to bigger and better things than ever before!

If Rihanna is lying about something or not telling the whole truth, then I don’t understand why Chris Brown won’t say anything about it, b/c she kinda threw him under the bus, told everyone what he did to her, so I don’t understand why he won’t tell anything on her, what she may have done to him. See, that just makes me think he’s the one who’s guilty, and she’s innocent (b/c she said she didn’t put her hands on him at all) and he didn’t deny it, he didn’t say anything about that. So, I can’t help, but to think that, you know.. maybe when he says he don’t wanna talk about the incident out of respect for Rihanna’s privacy, he could just be using that for an excuse, b/c he knows he’s the one who’s really guilty, and he don’t wanna rat on hisself. Idk..I’m just sayin.

People who wonder why he isn’t giving details – I think its just smart. Stay out of the he-said she-said mud slinging that the
media whould hve a field day with. I HEAR the real deal when he gives his simple comment, ‘domestic violence is wrong, whether its male on female OR FEMALE ON MALE’. He makes a point of saying it this way, and thats says it to me. She DID attack him. I don’t believe her. But hey, Chris can’t prove it at this point, so why bother to get into it?
Chris, I think you’re coming out of this a better person actually, though shallow people are putting you down. Move forward with that great music, and that wonderful guy that you are. No one like YOU, babe.
Chi town said this on November 19th, 2009 at 22:10
@Lavita, Chris has said he was wrong for his part in this situation and that’s all he can do.
I can’t agree with “Chi town” more. I’ve gotten the message fm all his interviews. His message has been heard, but few have listened. Chris is absolutely correct, domestic violence is wrong either way!
I give Chris so much love & respect for who he is a person; his character is rare. At 20 yrs old, he has realized he got too involved in an intense relationship that requires levels of maturity that he hadn’t grown into yet. However, he has accepted the consequences of his behavior, voluntarily, and is taking the necessary steps to learn & grow. What is life but too live & learn with “No Regrets, Just Lessons Learned”.
Chris has a beautiful aura, therefore wonderful spirit, and an abundance of talent. As long as he keeps God 1st, his blessings will continue to flow…

Chris said, from waaaayyy back, in his first apology, NO, not that taped one (which’ll be his second apology), but his written (first) one that he’ll NOT go into the details of Feb 8th!
During that 20/20 interview, Rhianna said, when asked, if he didn’t “slam her into the wall?” Replied NO, he didn’t! That question was a “follow-up” of the reference to ‘prior instances’ of abuse – BY HIM! Yet again, Diane Sawyer asked, if he slammed her into a wall? She AGAIN said NO!
Ms. Sawyer was reading from that “Cell Phone Warrant/Police Report,” and thus asked her questions based on what she read in that “Cell Phone Warrant/Police Record.”
Rhianna said NO, there were NO prior instances of violence; not ONCE, but TWICE, when asked!
You see, that “Cell Phone Warrant/Police Record” IS NOT her statement. If it were, then, Rhianna wouldn’t have disagreed with what Ms. Sawyer asked her or was insinuating: that Chris had a history of abuse towards her!
In her REAL statement to the cops – the one SHE signed, she DIDN’T say that he had a history of abusing her; mater of a fact, it’s Rhianna who has the history of abuse; didn’t she, admit in an interview in 2007, that SHE smashed bottles upside her brother’s head, which had him seeking medical assistance? Sure she did!
TMZ, CB’s biggest hater, and her biggest supporter, said that SHE was the “AGGRESSOR and INSTIGATOR” in THAT car on Feb 8th: she slapped, punched and hit him several times BEFORE he retaliated!
Was he wrong for ‘retaliating,’ don’t we ALL have a breaking point? Is our patients endless, and if it was, wouldn’t that make us ‘godlike’ and perfect? NONE of us are!!
Chris is principled and a man of HIS word, he said he’ll NOT talk ’bout it, and he WON’T!!! Does this make him seem guilty? To some, sure it does.
But the facts speak for themselves: TMZ, did “tell us” the truth, but ALSO, lies! America chose NOT to see, or listen to truth; instead America chose to believe in lies, rumors, hearsay and hysteria. America chose to think the worst from/of a 19 y/o black male, who, NEVER gotten into ANY trouble! Could he have gotten a “fair” trial, given the pandemonium that was “Feb 8th Chrianna?” I only offer you this, as to put you in HIS frame of mind in coming to HIS decision to taking the plea deal!

I admire how you’re handling this situation. It’s proving that you are taking responsibility for your bad actions and moving forward and learning from them. Aside from that, Chris Brown, will you marry me? :)

I’m in awe at the way he’s handling the situation. I love Chris, and I hope he has much more success..
Southern Beauty said this on November 20th, 2009 at 08:50
It amazes how people defend this womanbeater,
X, Y, “and Z”
YOU are off,
Diane Sawyer asked Rihanna if Chris Brown pushed her repeatly in a wall..Rihanna corrected her and Said NO he push me into the wall Once. THAT is actally what the police report said.
AND in the Police report Rihanna did say that Chris pushed her into a wall after she alapped him and that Chris broke her windows. You need to learn how to read, cause you don’t know what the hell your talking about.
Rihanna herself admitted to hitting her brother, so what does that have to do with Chris Brown beating her on Dec the 8. Just because she hit her brother as a child doesn’t mean she hit Chris Brown..
Chris knows Rihanna is telling the 100% truth that’s he doesn’t want to say how he beat and choked Rihanna.
YOU have NO proof that Rihanna hit him and She said she didn’t hit him. Chris hasn’t denied it because he knows it’s true, that Rihanna didn’thit him at all.
Rihanna’s interviews are getting broken down, but how about breaking down Chris interviews…Half of what Chris says makes no sense.
How about Chris violent past of throwing dishes at his mother or how his stepfather said Chris broke all his cd when he got mad.
Chris is no angel and refuses to admitted how he beat Rihanna.Stop trying to make violent Chris seem like a victim.
Melody said this on November 20th, 2009 at 08:58
I just want you to know that my heart goes out to Chris Brown. It is not fair for someone so young and talented to carry this weight. I dont beleive that he is an abusive person. My husband is a victim of being portrayed as an abusive person by his ex wife and we have been together for over 6 years and I have never been abused by him. Im not saying he didnt do anything im just sayin he is not an abusesive person. I stood by him as he went through everyone judgeing him so I think I know what Chris is going through. We all as human beings make mistakes and we live and we learn. And Rihannas confidence in herself speaks for her. When you are an abused person you dont have that!!!! Keep your head up Chris!!!!
Alana said this on November 20th, 2009 at 09:05
@Melody –
NO, it is YOU who needs to discern between a ‘Warrant’ and a ‘Statement!’
She slapped him in
1.) Barbados
2.) Europe
And it is SHE who has the history of violence AND it is SHE who reaches for ANYTHING to use as a weapon when SHE becomes enraged!
Mrs. Sawyer brought up the instance of him pushing her into the wall ONLY to show/prove prior examples of Chris hitting/abusing her. Ms. Sawyer was reading from that Cell Phone Warrant, NOT her statement!
So I DID, correctly read it, and it is YOU who needs to wipe the cobwebs from their eyes; wake up!
Up until now, Chris has said NOTHING ’bout the incident, NOT ONE WORD! Rhianna gave 3 interviews and in that 20/20 interview SHE went into “HER side” of the story! Chris said he’ll NOT go into details, and he hasn’t.
If you took the time to read that “Cell Phone Warrant/Police Record” you’ll see that it’s ‘ONLY’ a WARRANT!
At NO time; at NO place does that warrant have Rhianna’s signature! That warrant is NOT her statement!
That Warrant ONLY has two signatures:
1.) Judge Schnegg
2.) Det. Deshon Andrews
I’ll repeat, at NOT time does Rhianna sign her name on that Warrant; she couldn’t, it’s NOT her statement!!!
I’ll, yet again repeat, that Cell Phone Warrant/Police report IS NOT her statement!
In her statement, to which TMZ has leaked, she admitted to hitting Chris SEVERAL times: slapping, punching and hitting him BEFORE HE retaliated!! Just how much did you think he was going to take, eh? Just how long was Rhianna going to use him for a doormat?
The LAPD even defined/characterized Rhianna as “AGGRESSOR and INSTIGATOR” of the violence in THAT car on Feb 8th!
Melody, or anyone else, I ask you this: if, and I say IF, the events of ‘Feb 8th’ were, as told, in that “Warrant,” then why didn’t the DA charge him with Assault AND Battery?
If you are in California, you’d see that Battery IS the act of causing bodily harm/damage. ASSAULT is the ‘WANTING,’ or ‘ATTEMPT,’ or ‘INTENT’ at doing bodily harm!
So they charged him, and eventually he plead to, “WANTING/INTENDING to do Rhianna bodily harm!” NOT doing the actually bodily harm, but why? Why if the evidence was so damning:
1.)Her picture
2.)Her statement
3.)The Rabbi(witness)
4.)Hospital records
5.)His statement(if he made one)
6.)the fact that the case was sent BACK to the LAPD for 2 weeks, BEFORE it was again sent up to the DA’s office and then ONLY having to charge him with ‘Assault.’
Why offer probation IF what he did was so heinous, i.e., if it was an unprovoked attack, and the beating so severe?
I’ll, again, invite YOU to go over to TMZ and see what they said ’bout her statement to the cops, where they characterized her as AGGRESSOR and INSTIGATOR of the physical violence on Feb 8th!
I can go on, but why bother? Even if I presented, to you, fact after overwhelming fact that Rhianna’s actions, on Feb 8th, were unprovoked, unwarranted and reckless, you’d dismiss them out of sheer bias and ‘close-mindedness!’
You’ll “SEE” what YOU want to see: Rhianna NOT as woman scorned, who became enraged and slapped, punched and hit CBrown repeatedly but ONLY, after several times, him THEN retaliating; NO!! You see her, as patron saint of etiquette and congeniality!
Rhianna, her publicist(s), and TMZ have found YOUR weakness for ‘high-drama,’ ’scandal,’ ‘hyperbole,’ and hysteria! You’ve refused to believe the obvious truth and ONLY the worst. Your existence is a sheltered one: you cower in the dark and cold, having ONLY your ignorance as prism through which you view the world – god help you; god will, ‘EVENTUALLY’, forgive Rhianna; god will bless Christopher Brown; god help us all!

That is soooo funny how people actually think that Chris Brown should say anything about what happened between him and his exgirlfreinds relationship on national television. ITS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!!!!! He doesn’t have to say anything. People will just turn it around and start saying something stupid like he’s acting like a b*&%$ if he does so why should he. He is handling this like a man and is doing what he can. No one knows what really happened but them so leave it be let them carry on with there lives. He is a singer not a saint. He does not have to be perfect!!!!
Alana said this on November 20th, 2009 at 12:51
X, Y, “and Z”, Do you have any brothers or sisters? B/c all brothers and sisters argue and fight, so you can’t base the fights between Rihanna and her brother on this situation, it’s a totally different situation here, that doesn’t mean she’s a crazy person, or guilty of doing anything to Chris Brown. Hell, I have 3 sisters and we all use to fight like hell, I chased my sister with a freakin fork when I was little b/c she slapped me in my face, and I did stab her in the back for it, not that bad tho, but anyways, that doesn’t make me a violent person, b/c now I’m older and I’m not violent at all towards anyone, unless someone gets violent towards me. And Rihanna actually admitted that she and Chris Brown were dangerous for eachother EQUALLY, the more inlove they became, the more dangerous they became for EACHOTHER, thats what Rihanna said, and she admitted that when she saw a text message from another female in Chris phone, she said he got mad b/c SHE WOULDN’T LET IT GO! Rihanna didn’t make her self out to be 100 percent innocent, she admitted some things, and she may just be telling the truth, that she didn’t hit Chris Brown. Like how would you know if she did or not?? you wasn’t there in the car with Chris and Rihanna that night when it happened. I’m not saying that she didn’t hit him, and I’m not saying that she did, B/C I DON’T KNOW, I WASN’T THERE WHEN IT ALL WENT DOWN, AND NEITHER WERE YOU!
But anyways, It seems like everyone is only feeling sorry for Chris Brown now, and giving him so much love and support,and sympathy, but you’re all putting Rihanna down, as if she’s the damn devil or something. DAMN.. Where’s the sympathy for Rihanna, She’s the one who got her ass beat. I FEEL for BOTH of them, but ofcourse more for Rihanna, b/c she is the victim of the situation, and she’s a female. And no I’m not saying that makes it okay for a woman to hit a man either, B/c I know its not right for anyone to be violent towards anyone, Male on female, or female on male. But c’mon on now!
Lavita said this on November 20th, 2009 at 13:44
If rihanna wants to be a spokesperson for dv, how come nothing has been shown on tv or internet of her speaking out to all young girls…why in sawyers interview she stated she was glad that it happened to her…she had 9 months to speak out but instead she decided to travel over europe half naked looking for pity…what chris did was wrong!!! but the reason he does not want to say anything on the situation is b/c everyone has judged and jailed him all ready even b/f his sentencing…it does not matter what rihanna did to him…b/c the picture came out..really what would it look like if chris said riri did this to him and that to him…who would u believe???…it takes two to tango and one big person to admit they were wrong…who admitted they were wrong? chris did…that shows alot of courage…ppl, please let this go…they have both moved on…god bless them both…
sugar3 said this on November 21st, 2009 at 12:22
2 Melody and Lavita, FANTASTIC!!!! U both get it. U also reflect the general publics opinion. Chris Brown fans will support him no matter what, I see that now. He BEAT Rihanna but he apologized, he’s going to counselling, and he’s donating to charities, so that should erase what he did to Rihanna. What people refuse to acknowledge is that Chris Brown had no other option but to apologize and give money to charity and as far as his counselling that was court ordered. Jay Z said it best, “What else could he do but apologize”. I wish Chris Brown all the best, I really do but mostly I pray for his young, impressionable female fans because they are clearly as BLIND as Rihanna was. In a lot of the support I have seen for Chris Brown there has been a lot of awful words said about Rihanna. IT’S REALLY PATHETIC. Chris Brown BEAT Rihanna because she doesn’t know how to keep her mouth shut, she went through his phone, she must have hit him, or she’s a BITCH. All of that venom is caddy, school girl behaviour and really above all else PATHETIC. What’s sad is that these girls can’t see their support for what it is – LUST. Chris Brown must be laughing his ass off at these girls who continue to embarrass and fawn all over him. I can imagine how many of them he has used after every concert and then passed them around to his friends. 2 quote Chris Brown, “I’m Chris Brown…GIRLS ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE THERE.”

Maybe after this interview Big Boy will stop dogging on Chris Brown every time his name is dropped! He is young, at 19 major mistakes in relationships can be made, particularly someone with the history CB has. God Bless him & his career, Rhianna – you won’t be right til you come clean about the herpes, Jay Z, Your mad temper …
