violence and celebrity

i think that she should stay as far away from him as she possibly can. there are a lot of girls, young girls, that look up to her and i think the way she handle this is very critical. there could be a fan out there of hers that have an abusive boyfriend and the decision that Rhianna make could very well influence that girl. i don't understand why she would even consider taking him back anyway. i hope love don't blind her, and that she will take this negative and turn it into something positive, by using what happen to her to reach out to other females and even some males to teach them that this is not ok and to not allow this to happen to them or to do this to anyone. what ever she decide i will be praying for her because she needs it. great topic by the way.

I never believe that Rihanna was actually get back together with Chris Brown. I wonder what she was thinking so that she did that. I mean, she shouldn't get back with him since he was really abusive and that would be a bad sign. Remember the case of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee? The abusive behavior would go on and on and it would never stop. He did it once, he would do it again. Some girl never learn. I just hope that one day she would break up with him whether he beat her up again or not, because it is just a matter of time.

Personally I and many others are hoping that this does not turn into a situation like with OJ or Tina Turner that were BAD relationships that ended up costing lives or almost costing lives, and she really knows what she is doing. For me I hope this does not put a big tarnishment on her Career as well, as when you look at Whitney Houston and all she has had to go thru it almost ruined her. Personally I feel she is making a mistake because unless Chris is to get counseling this could only often esculate into something worse, and what will she do then? Was she really thinking, or just wanting to quit all the negative publicity or what? Seriously I guess we can only hope for the best.

NuttyMomma, I heaqrd that brought up on the news the other night. Rhianna has really caused confusion for the teens and just set domestic violence back in a bad light. Domestic violence is a learned behavior and either her or her boyfriend Chris knows the deal. Chris was abused when he was a child so that fits the bill. There are many celebrities that have supported the laws that are for domestic violence and Rhianna had the chance to make a big difference in someones life. Domestic violence isn't all that new in the music industry or in Hollywood. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are two that I can think of that had their problems. Whitney Houston and Bobbie Brown went through the same thing and lets not forget OJ and his wife. I also saw that recently a wife of a NFL player was just released from doing a 6-7 year sentence for shooting her husband. She said that she did it in self-defense because he would attack her. I just hope that for Rhianna and CHris that things can be worked out and they both get help, but I've never seen a case where a couple like that were able to continue their relationship. DCMerkle

well i think parents arent influance on thier kids as they should be, its should be sport or movies and music people. and i think she's dumb to go back with chris brown, he's a punk a&& but money talked and bs walks. if he was just any joe blow off the street they would locked him up

poor rihanna. but anyway, it's a common thing to happen among celebrities (violence i mean), they really should keep in mind that responsibility you were saying? cause they really have a major influence on their fans (especially to minors who are not that mature yet to think responsibly for themselves) - and though there are some personal issues involved that we audience don't hear out, it's safe to say that, without being unfair, - that's the price they pay for all the money they make and the consequence of being very popular.
