February 28, 2009 Rihanna & Chris Brown – Back Together!

rihanna-chris-brown-post-grammy-022809

Jesus, take the wheel! After Rihanna suffered what the LAPD described as a “horrific” assault allegedly from her boyfriend, Chris Brown, she took him back! “They’re together again. They care for each other,” says the source who spoke to People.

Adds the source, “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

The volatile couple are currently spending time together at one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ homes on Miami Beach’s Star Island. According to [usmagazine.com], “she’s not listening to anyone…and of course Puff got involved in this,” says a pal of Rihanna.

I want to say I’m surprised by Rihanna going back to Chris Brown, but not because it’s a textbook case of battered person syndrome. Love muffins, this whole situation is disturbingly sad and unfortunately happens all too often in the communities in which we live.

Update I: Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty, has spoken to [usmagazine.com] from his home in Barbados about his daughter’s decision to get back with Chris Brown. Fenty says, “I love my daughter with whatever road she takes. I’m behind her win or lose. I will be supportive. If that’s the road she wants to choose, I’m behind her. I hope to see her soon. I talked to her after her birthday, and she told me she’s OK.”

Update II: Chris Brown has been seen smiling, riding a jet ski, and flexing his arm muscles. Rihanna arrived four days ago, according to a source.

  • I would want Rihanna to be a role model but I guess thats asking to much of someone who has the world at their fingertips by the grace of God. I want to delete all her music as well.

    Once again if it were my mother sister or daughter I would be very upset.

  • This is not a real photo of them on 2/28/09
    I mean come on.

  • So true B.Scott, about the BPS. I have a close family member who is still abused years later with kids and everything. I pray for her and others like that stuck in the vicious cycle of abuse. Damn shame.

  • Im not suprised they got back together at all. I hope they work through whatever issues the have!

  • I AM AT A LOST FOR WORDS!!!

  • seriously??? damn riri… u better get ready for round two… most abusers abuse others… its a constant cycle… i’m not sayin they can’t make it work, or tht he cant get better, but i dont think she made the right decision… especially so soon. I looked up to her, and i thought she was stronger than this, but i guess just like chris, u can never judge a book by its cover.

  • I am disturbed by this as well. I’m pretty sure she fell for the “baby, you know I love you. It’ll never happen again.” crap he said. I’m sorry but you only have one time to hit me and its over. Sadly, I’m sure this wasn’t the first time its happened in this relationship and it probably won’t be the last. Jr. Ike and Tina in the making.

  • this is all hearsay…so idk
    if it really is true then…..*shakes head sadly*

    WOW its so sad that this kind of ABUSIVE relationship is called LOVE in some peoples opinion! Thats a LOVE I can live without!

  • obviously its not a damn pic of them on 2/28/09 darius… no1 said it was… its obviously from the nite b4 the grammy’s…. DUH!!

  • OMG its the girls life to live n i think she can live it anyway she wants. no one will ever know a situation until they are faced wit the same thing. Plus i still think its messed up that everyone is getting so offened n they dont know the whole story. She probly did start the whole thing and feels like crap because all this is happing. And we DONT know the story!!!

  • APSHHHKKK!!!

    Whatever…

  • DAMN,RIHANNA!!!!! the first pop,punch and slap CONVINCING ENOUGH FOR YOU?

    Lord, be with us, please

    Because, obviously, we need it

  • yes this is sad.. but hey you cant help how you feel about someone.. and i just feel like she will learn one day but meanwhile i hope all is good with the both of them because i am a big fan and love them both so very much…

  • ummmmm…i feel some type of way. i mean…she is human. we can’t forget that. she will have to learn just like the rest of us. its seen all the time, like b mentioned, with domestic abuse victims. we can only hope that she leaves him before he does that again. the recidivism rate for abusers is ridiculous.

  • I’m gonna post the same thing I posted somewhere a few days ago:

    As the great Tina Turner once said…

    “What’s LOVE got to do with it?”

    And as the not as great Eve once said…

    “Love is blind, and it will take over your mind. What you THINK is love, is truly NOT. You need to ELEVATE and find”

    I don’t buy the love excuse. Not by a long shot. Love or not, Chris Brown beat the livin daylights out of her. And, according to the same sources who were also right about the extent of Rihanna’s injuries, it wasn’t the first time Chris went upside her head (just the most extreme).

    Rihanna may be in love with Chris Brown, but sometimes people need to think with their heads and not with their hearts. Rihanna needs to get out of an unhealthy situation before it’s too late. I mean, damn…are we really using the “but she loves him argument”? Is it really the 1920s up in here? This relationship is your cliche, standard, run-of-the-mill abusive relationship. And how many times have we heard of an abused woman returning to her abuser because he “apologized” and she “really loved him”, only for him to whoop her ass again the next time she burnt his steak? Happens all the freakin time…

    Believe it or not, but your heart shouldn’t guide your every action. Because sometimes your HEART can lead you into some situations that aren’t good for your mind, body, and spirit. If Rihanna really loves Chris — REALLY loves him…she’d remove herself from the situation so that he can truly get some help.

    Rihanna is only asking for trouble going back to him. Her parents need to stop being “supportive” and start doing what’s best for HER. Not Chris.

  • hope it will work out between them Good luck

  • OH DEAR – WELL IF SHE’S GETS TWATTED AGAIN I WONT BE SYMPATHETIC – SHE DESERVES ALL SHE GETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tut -Oh Rihanna u silly girl!!!

  • I feel sorry for both of them. Especially Rhianna who thinks Chris loves her. Love never is supposed to leave bruises on your body. I don’t get it. And if Chris thinks he loves her he should have never touched her. They both need some help. These are kids who shouldn’t be in a relationship. And if I was Rhianna’s father all I would be wanting is to put my hands around this man’s throat. I don’t support either of their actions. God bless them both.

  • I just want to LMMFAOOOOOOOOO!!!! say a prayer for these 2 hot heads

  • LMAO @ Darius, you are slow dog. But getting back to the topic, I think this is so sad. I am completely disappointed by Rihanna. She is setting a horrible example to young girls by going back. Both of them need to seek professional help.

  • Yeah, “it” won’t happen again but something else similar to the last beating will happen again.
    Dayum! And puh-lease, ain’t no damn thing anyone can do that deserves a beating….”she did probably start the whole thing?” well, damn, let’s react that way to anyone who is weaker or smaller because they started it first.
    But wait, I guess that’s where control and maturity come in. Guess we don’t all get as we grow and NOT mature!

  • Like most people i was hoping for Rihanna to come out and take a very big stand against domestic violence. she would have made a great advocate for it, but she’s fallen into the same trap as most women sadly.
    Rihanna, gurl, you’re in our prayers!

  • People can change, for the better………and we really don’t know the exact happening of when she got hurt by him. How bout we just all pray that they can work it out and the both of them be better people in the end, whether they are together or not. I know of someone personally that abused his girlfriend worse than what happened to RiRi, the girl took him back…….and they are still together with no other incidents for several years now! So people can change for the better and we just have to be patient and just pray for them and others in this type of situation……….

  • If she really did takes him back it would be career suiside for her” the black media will say “good for her” or “they need to work it out”. White media won’t be so forgiving’and once your out with the white media you might as well pack up a go home cause it’s over,ask micheal vick?? L.A Reid won’t stand for this to long cause he wont allow his def jam superstar to make such a bad career move at such a early age.

  • Personally i think since we don’t know the whole story people need to lay off for awhile. For all you know that girl could have been doing shit to him all along. I’m not condoning anything on his part, but the media is really making him out to be a monster, and clearly RiRi, and him are together, not us with them. I think we should just wait and see how this plays out, because nobody knows the whole story.

  • i feel like this. sure you all are sad and disappointed yada yada yada. but at the end of the day, they will do what they wanna do. its a shame that things had to end up like this but this obviously shows how human they both are. i tell you fame is a blessing/CURSE.

  • I don’t understand how her father will continue to be supportive with the fact that his daughter is being abused. There is no way that was the first time she got beat up, and further more you don’t have to know the situation, the fact is he beat her like she was a grown man, in any situation that is wrong. Some people can be so blind it’s really sad and in a way pathetic.

  • Please LA Reid is a businessman… he will support anything that makes him money. Just think how much of a frenzy it will cause whenever she decides to go back on tour… how her album sales will soar. Controversy sells… and again, we dont know the full story. She may very well be kicking his ass more than he’s kicking hers. Is it right? No… but lets not judge if we dont know. I SERIOUSLY doubt she is this timid victim of domestic abuse.

  • I dont think this has a thing to do with BPS. This is a case of young people living life and making mistakes. If any of us were judged the actions we took and the things we did at age 19 where would we be. My hope is that both Chris and Rihanna heal physically and emotionally and learn that its never o.k to hit each other. Shame on any grown person passing judgement on them.

  • I am totally disappointed in Rihanna. She is a role model for many young girls and her resuming her relationship with Chris sets a bad example for her fans. I hope she realizes the impact her decision makes on herself and others. I wish her the best of luck.

  • I have lost all respect for RIRI. This is going to piss off a large majority of her female fans.

    Expect a backlash, and lots of dialogue this week. I can’t wait to hear what the ladies of the View have to say about this in Hot Topics.

    This sends a bad message to young girls in abusive relationships.

  • Wow, doesn’t surprise me one bit.

    This really gets me, how is it that people are saying “yep, it’s that batter person syndrome, she can’t help it”

    But when it came to Chris, no one could conceive of the fact that he was brought up in an abusive home, and the majority of the kids who grow up in that kind of home either A) grow up to be abusive or B) grow up to be abused.

    I don’t even see that as something to exscuse what he did, but I acknowledged that it was a fact and that his crazy ass needed help.

    But nope, no one wanted to hear that, you all were so quick to run to your ipods and delete music or throw away cds (which makes no damn sense, he still has your money) and just sum him up to be a horrible monster PERIOD.

    But now RiRi decides to stay with him, everyone is upset about it and they pull out the Beaten Person Syndrome card that quick.

    Why don’t you do her the same way? Say she’s stupid for taking him back, and delete her music.

    Why not? Since there’s no way we can let these two young ppl live their lives and make mistakes because they’re HUMAN right?

  • I agree with memememe,

    She’s abusive to him too.

    And they are both comfortable being in that kind of relationship. So w/e let them do it.

    Can’t make people do what you want.

  • Am I the only person who think this whole RIhanna got beaten by CHris brown, might have never happened ?

    I mean:
    1) Nobody really knows the facts

    2) Nobody ever wondered why they were no bodyguards, or paparazzi, or just plain people near this parking lot where the incident happens. It was the pre-grammy weekend. The city was packed with celebrity, which mean a lot more paparrazi, a lot more fan trying to get a picture of their favorite celebrities; which mean a more intense security, more bodyguards. However, Chris brown beat Rihanna outside in a parking lot, and no one saw them. NO one was there. And Chris left the scene on foot. And yet, nobody saw him. NO one ??

    And why would Chris Brown label not tried to do any real damage control since this incident ? The story was very one sided and it never put Chris in a good light. The whole thing was very bad business, with Chris loosing endorsments and all. Yet it took more than a week before Chris publicist issued an “apology”…

    And what would Rihanna label get from letting the world know that she went back with Chris ? The could have taken advantage of the sympaty the world felt for her, and become a bigger star, sell more cd, sell bigger tour…

    And the LAPD dont have enough evident to go to trial?? Rihanna is not pressing charge?? What about the person who supposedly called 911 ?

    I mean…honnestly I am starting to think that something might have happened, but it was not near what they portrayed it to be. I would not be surprise if in fact…nothing happened at all!!!!!

  • people need to lay off of them because she gonna do what she wants and nobody cant judge her for that

  • Well I am not surprised about this.
    This is what happens all the time
    when young girls- they go back to
    their abusers. This is a damn shame
    but it’s her decision. Obviously, she
    thinks she deserves him so let her be.
    She is a fool to do it but oh well.
    Good luck to her.

  • Stop judging! Its their choice to be together or not. Have you ever heard of forgiveness! Yeah Rihanna got beat up. Chris apparently did it. Who are any of us to judge? We don’t live their lives! People are a bunch of hypocrites! He was wrong for what he did. We don’t know what happened in that car. Allow them to live their lives. Just becuz they are celebrities doesn’t mean folks have the right to tear them down. Be your own role model. Why does rihanna need to be a martyr for battered women? She got beat up one time. Let’s hope its her last. If it happens again then leave his ass.

  • Wouldn’t have been me. Girls are so stupid. Rihanna is basically saying that “you can hit me again”. It’s crazy.

  • People must learn on there own so for those who saying you should delete her music and think shes stupid yall are exactly what yall calling her…STUPID.

  • Well Good for them, yall need to get out of their business anywayz!

  • it is her decision; true .
    but i can not support anymore either .
    and that’s my decision . it’s sad .

  • whatever im sooo tired of hearing about rihanna and chris i knew from the jump she was gonna back to him which i think is a bad move on her part b/c she’s sending the message that it’s okay for a man to hit you. next time chris mollywopps her she better not complain her she’s the one that went back to him.

  • Hopefully, they’ll work it out. I covered this story on my blog from a different angle.

  • What’s with that EMERGENCY ROOM song playing on the radio? Is it just a coincidence (doubt it) this better not be an attempt at a publicity stunt. They better not act like they don’t owe the world an apology because I think if we are listening and buying their music and since they are big influences to children they need to step up and explain their actions.

  • Lesson to be learnt here? Parents teach your daughters self-defence, women learn how to defend yourselves. Society has always put women as the weak and vulnerable person. I don’t buy into all that crap.

    Rihanna, if you’re going back to him, I don’t care how much you love him, learn how to protect yourself.

    I think this story is going too fast….I don’t believe it anymore. Rihanna got beat up,Chris loses everything…..Rihanna shows face on her b.day. Now a couple of weeks later she’s back together with him? PUH-LEASE…. BPS my a**. There’s something that we don’t know.

    DAMN, I was just telling my bf that she wouldn’t ever get back with him becuz of the abuse he inflicted upon her! Guess I was WRONG! SMH

  • I think it is good news. I pray they have learned to really love each other better. Love is serious business.

  • i think the problem is EVERYONE assumed because of the incident she would walk away and become the face and voice of domestic abuse…. they never took into account what rihanna wanted…. and personally i don’t think she ever wanted to do either…. i think she never wanted the incident to be known let alone get as big as it did…. from the police to the magazines to everyone talking and commenting to what she should and shouldn’t do….

    so many folks/sites…. fans, stans, distracters, supporters, tmz, bossip, theyb, sandrarose, eonline, access hollywood, the insider, entertainment tonight, e new, the daily 10, inside addition, people, bscott, perez, life and style, usweekly, star magazine, national inquirer, people magazine, and the likes had already mapped out her life and how she would live it after chris…. what they didn’t take in account was the fact THAT THIS IS HER…. RIHANNA’S LIFE…. AND HOW SHE WANTS TO LIVE IT IS UP TO HER AND HER ALONE!!!! maybe if they did that all the 50-11 posts about how disappointed and what she should have done would stop….

  • “…” is all I have to say.
    But unfortunately, this situations happens all the time. Everyone is looking for her to be a role model and “girl power” and leave Chris. But in reality, most of the time, the woman does go back. Can’t say I support her decision but whatever, she’s a grown woman she can do what she wants.

  • i believe Rihanna should listern 2 her heart not wht people think.
    from da first time i heard both of they are going out, i was so please cuz they are a perfect couples

  • Honestly anyone who is truly surprised by this needs to get it together. The media truly made this situation WAY bigger and hyped up than it need to be. Now im not saying that what he did is right cause its NOT. but at the same time this shit goes on every single day, all over the world to people of all races.
    Unfortunatley its not something that is gonna be cured.You got people who beat on people just for the hell of it, and people who just snap and may lash out but not because they are neccessarily a “bad” person.

    Everyone at this point everyone needs to just mind there own damn business because at the end of the day its just Chris and Ri that have to deal with each other. THEY ARE HUMANS, and when it comes to matters of the heart, EVERYONE reacts differently. Its like a girl or a guy who constantly will go back to their significant other even after they continuous cheat on them and whatnot. You may wonder “wtf?!” but thats not your decision to make.

    It’s WAY to easy for the public to sit and point fingers and say “this is what shoulda happen” when not a single damn one of us was there, i dont give a crap how many “sources” you have. Just pray for them and go on with ur own lives…

  • What a stupid stupid simple bitch.

    rhianna REGULARLY abused Chris! period![i got a camera phone pic sent from when my friend witnessed her punch him in the face. HARD the more they tried to calm her the louder and madder she got. the tabs/blogs reported it as the two were quarelling. why weren't they honest about HER ABUSING him? keep in mind this was long before the current drama] biting someone is usually a DEFENSIVE move.[chris reportedly bit rhi rhi] CLEARLY she was attacking him in the car and he was struggling to get free and with the cabin being so tight she easily could have bumped her head. how can u get those odd devil horn bump. chris woulda had to stand in front of her and double fist that ass 5 head like a wild gerangulum! i ain’ buying that. there’s just not enough info and i really think they got back together because al parties concerned know how rhi rhi is. she damn near ruined darnells super 16 by being jealous and insecure and expecting him to worship her just for aggreeing to show up, when he’s a hood celeb in his own right!

    ABUSE is never ok! whether you’re the woman or man you shouldn’t put ur hands on ur mate!

  • to yea: you’re really feeling some type of way about this.

  • Rihanna girl RUN LIKE THE WIND FAR FAR AWAY AND WAY WAY AFAR FROM CHRIS BROWN!!!!!!!!!You are making a huge mistake…Abusers say they would change, but oftentimes they never do.If he hits you once, he will do it again….If Chris really loved you, he would not have put his hands on you, no matter how angry you may have made him……LOVE IS BLIND!!!!!!I pray that Rihanna get away from this boy quickly…All he cares about is saving his career, girl WAKE UP!!!!!

  • People who say she is a role model and her teen fans will now think ok to be in an abusive realtionship need to think about what they are saying. It is the parents job to teach a child right from wrong and to teach thier children that role models are not the media and celebs. All humans make mistakes. Also her going back means either one of three things.
    1. She is still in love with him even though she was beate by him and she has the syndrome.
    or
    2. This is how their relationship is (meaning they hit one another…you will be suprised how many people are in relationships where they think hitting one another is ok) but it just so happened that the police were called by a witness and it is where it is today.
    or
    3. She hit him first and did so repeatdly where as he reacted in a way that was in defen se yet unacceptable.
    Here is another note…what kind of friends are Melissa and the other people there. I know damn well that if i have a friend that got beat down i would not be able to stand within close proximity to the abuser w/out them catchin a beat down.
    In conclusion i cant say i call her stupid b/c if someone is making a mistake calling them stupid is the last thing to do. But i will say im am disappointed in them both,couldnt they have waited a little while before getting back together if at all.

  • @ Thoney Gangstasweet:
    I agree with you 100% chris should have left RiRi a long time ago b/c i heard that she hits him all the time and just this one time he hit her back and the whole world knows. For that sake, chris was abused too

  • This relationship seems doomed. So many stories out there that she beat him as well. While I think its wrong what he did to her, if she laid her hands on him that was equally as wrong. Just because a man is bigger doesn’t mean woman hitting him is something to ignore. In the end, someone hit someone and this can’t be good for their relationship. But if its what they want, I hope they get some couple’s help and they work through their issues. Let’s not cast stones everyone…glasses and all that jazz. We don’t really know what went down with them. If she was beating him he may have just snapped and let it all loose on her. No, its not right, but I could understand. Domestic violence goes both ways.

  • i wonder how many thousands of womyn received a justification beating as a RESULT of this news…

    man this just qoes to show how the world and our generation thinks . weather she being [Rihanna] choose to be an role model or not it comes w| the sucess of beinq so blessed . and in my opinion that’s a small price to pay . True this isn’t our buisness and we don’t have any riqht to judqe . But I can not believe so many people think that this is okay . it’s sad that ppl justify Love as an excuse . PLEASE . That is Crap . Love doesn’t hurt .

    melissa, she DOES! and my guys texted us, “y’all now i have never, and would never hit a woman, but ur precious rhi rhi whocked the FUGG outa chris tonite! the pic is bad, but we was standin there stunned! she just went str8 left, and it seemed outta no where. i unno but if u see somethin online SHE WAS FUGGIN HIM UP! and like she knew he couldn’t hit er in front o’ a buncha folks so she kept wildin…. man…i’d have 1 o’ the finest beat dat ass in the alley out back i swear i would…..” then if u watched that super sweet 16 she said, “i see them girls flockin’ u!!!!… then she pouted for hrs… a dayum shame….

  • Since only the two people involved were there during the incident, and only those same two people know the ins and outs of their relationship, I think the rest of us should mind our business. Since we don’t have all the facts we are not capable of passing judgement on their choices. I wish them the best if that is together or separate and most of all I wish them some peacy and privacy from everyone who has an opinion but shouldn’t.

  • hes gonna beat her ass again and it’ll be her own fault

  • She is a foolish girl, who doesn’t know her value.

  • I am truly saddened to hear that Rihanna has gone back to Chris Brown, yes love is tough but when someone abuses in any way it is truly unacceptable. I know she has gone through a hard time and probably feels so lost without him but cmon. I know he will hit her again and this time she just might end up dead. I am saddened that she has taken him back. Here are the facts people if she got a bloody lip, two horns on her head that look like the devil well she didnt do that to herself did she . . . Rihanna was one of my favourite artists and had all her cd’s she is a loser now.

  • If you had a daughter mother sister or cousin who was in a abusive relationship.

    whether it be
    man against woman -
    woman against man – or –
    mutual.

    How much would you mind your own business?

    How much privacy should someone get if they’re are beating on someone?

    How much privacy should someone get if they are getting beat-up and don’t see anything wrong with it?

    Abuse is Abuse is Abuse!!!!

  • Well she’s not so bright!

  • The reason why Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together is obvious: she doesn’t want to raise their baby all by herself

  • i am so sick of people saying “but we don’t know the whole story” and “she probably started it and feels bad” huh?????? nothing warrants a man beating a woman’s ass and choking her out….

    it kills me that people are so star-struck. just because it’s chris brown doesn’t make a damn bit of difference!! wake up, people!! same thing happened when r. kelly molested those young girls. women screaming about how it wasn’t his fault…makes no damn sense at all!! what is wrong with people? ain’t nobody good enough to beat my butt and get away with it, i don’t care who it is!! peace.
