By now all of you have probably heard the reports that Chris Brown was arrested last night for making a criminal threat. Now, the chances are good that charge will be upgraded to felony assault, but until then, he has only been charged with making a criminal threat. Now, if you believe the rumors, and that is all they are right now is just rumor and speculation and gossip. Hey, wait a second that's what we do here right? Anyway, the rumors are that somehow that about the same time Chris Brown was fleeing the scene of the alleged criminal threat, Rihanna was at the same time suffering from a broken jaw and shattered cheekbone. That is one hell of a coincidence.
Now, if this all turns out to be true and Chris Brown did this damage to Rihanna, how much longer do you think the career of Chris Brown will last? Oh sure, people forget things and the public can be forgiving, but it probably still won't be enough. If Chris Brown did do this, then he might as well have done it to Jay Z and to Timbaland and a lot of other people who owe that pair favors. Think they will forgive and forget? Think some other producer or guest artist will risk the wrath of those two? Yeah, I think Chris Brown better take whatever money he has and just go away for a few years. Give it about ten years as a matter of fact. I think that would be an appropriate cooling off period.
Oh, and Rihanna. You did the right thing by calling the cops. What? Yeah, I don't believe in coincidences like that.
unbelievable.
ReplyDeletei can't believe all this...that kid had such a great career ahead of him. he was the proverbial triple threat, and now he's just flushed that down the drain. such a shame.
i hope rhianna is alright. wow, broken jaw and shattered cheekbone? that's serious violence and abuse...were there any signs of this before? wow, just wow. :(
What the hell happened to this kid for him to think that it's okay to hit a woman? Dude is going to jail. Remember when Tommy Lee kicked Pamela? He got 6 months for that. This kid is probably looking at a lot more.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere, that there is speculation that he hit her with a gun. I hope that part is not true.
ReplyDeleteTMZ is reporting that Rihanna is the named alleged victim.
ReplyDeletewow...just wow! I hope he rots. Rihanna or not. No woman deserves that.
ReplyDeleteA broken jaw and shattered cheekbone???? OMG, that is just awful. :(
ReplyDeleteNot to be flippant, but I wonder if Sesame Street will keep showing the Chris Brown/Elmo video.
I never cared too much for Chris Brown in the first place. He friggin reeks of arrogance. Rihanna is beautiful and I hope she dumps his violent a$$. Love her, not him.
ReplyDeletenever beat a woman! i don't know what hapened but never touch a woman or baby!
ReplyDeleteAnd why never write about Christian Bale scandalous audio?
I heard she gave him herpes and he hit her. Thats what the black gossip sites say.
ReplyDeletewtf is wrong with him? i hope if he's found guilty his career completely tanks. what a douche.
ReplyDeletejoseph, are they trying to excuse his actions? can you provide a link so we can read it?
I was reading at a gossip site that his father would be abusive with his mother. So that's where he gets his temper.
ReplyDeleteRihanna if she is already in an abusive relationship she wouldn't leave him.
I think at TMZ or another site they were saying that she got after him for flirting with other women or that he got pissed at her for giving him herpes. Those are the rumors as to the cause.
Regardless of the circumstance, it is NEVER okay to hit a woman, or anyone for that matter. I had only read that she was bruised and scuffed up- I didn't know that her jaw was broken and cheekbone shattered. That's horrifying. He must have really done a number on her for that to happen. I hope he gets the fucking book thrown at him like an "everyday person" would. What a fucking creep.
ReplyDeleteAnon- Sesame Street is the only reason why I even know of Chris.
ReplyDeletep.s. It's the only reason why I know who Alison Krauss is too.
I guess the police report listed the victim as Robyn Fenty, which is Rihanna's real name. I think if all of these allegations are true, he can kiss his career goodbye.
ReplyDeleteI think if all of these allegations are true, he can kiss his career goodbye.
ReplyDeletewe hope that but there are some who will probably idolize him. look at r. kelley. there are douchebag audiences for every douche.
Dlisted.com reported the rumors that either she gave him herpes or that she got mad because he was looking at other women.
ReplyDeleteOf course I agree that it is never okay to abuse anyone, man, woman or child.
I also heard that she only had slight bruises. If he did hit her, and or if he did break her jaw etc. his career is over. He can forget about a comeback.
Unlike other ethnic groups most African American artists don't get reprieves and the welcoming comeback unless you're Whitney Houston.
Then again maybe you get a reprieve if you're African American and are on drugs.
Okay I'm digressing. I'm done.
From everything I've heard, you just KNOW this wasn't the first time. Maybe the most obvious, but not the first time.
ReplyDeleteSad.
And I don't even follow their careers!
dear rihanna,
ReplyDeletepress charges.
captivagirl, If the rumors are true she has pressed charges.
ReplyDeleteWasnt there a bling item within the last few months that discussed a famous singer or actor who beat his girlfriend or am I imagining things?
ReplyDeleteAnother bitch who wouldn't listen!
ReplyDeleteI'M KIDDING! !
I just heard on the radio that Chris has now been charged with assault with a deadly weapon. It sounds like he did hit her with a gun. I wonder if he is on drugs?
ReplyDeleteFound this on Realtalk NY
ReplyDeleteLike the day an 11-year-old Brown made a promise to his mother. He vowed that he would go to jail by age 15 for killing his abusive stepfather. “I just want you to know that I love you,” he told her. “But I’m gonna take a baseball bat one day while you at work, and I’m gonna kill him.” Brown’s parents had separated when he was seven. When his mother remarried, she moved her son and his new stepfather to a trailer park. Then his stepfather shot himself in the head. The shot went straight through the eyes. He survived the suicide attempt but was permanently blinded.
“When you’re blind, your senses are heightened, like your smell, hearing, your sense of touch,” Brown explains. “You can move and maneuver around your sight. But he used to hit my mom….He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, ‘I’m just gonna go crazy on him one day…’ I hate him to this day.”

FYI, Enty, making a criminal threat is considerably more serious than felony assault... It means that the victim was in fear for her life. The way it typically works is that a suspect is booked on the highest possible charged he might be tagged with (mostly for bail purposes) and then the DA/US Atty (DA here) decides what lesser charges to file. I'm not sure of the exact penalties in Cali, but if Chris Brown ever got convicted of making a criminal threat, he'd be looking at up to 10 years-ish of jail time. (For comparison's sake, felony assault probably carries up to 5-ish years).
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if there is more to the story though, since they were seen together at their hotel after the incident? I hope it's not just that she went back to him that quickly... That would be really awful.
Maybe this explains the stupid fashion choice of the eyepatch recently - to cover a blackeye?
ReplyDeleteIt was a bystander who called the cops after witnessing CB assaulting Rihanna. I've read that RiRi is not cooperating nor pressing charges. She better smarten up and hold him responsible for his behavior!
ReplyDeleteRENE - what's the scoop? were they in a car?
ReplyDeleteIke and Tina anyone?
ReplyDeleteSo sad.
I just got an update on the radio. Apparently he was drinking from a glass in the car, she mentioned something about some guy's butt and he threw the glass which accidentally hit her in the face.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading earlier that one of the cops said he was very cooperative with them.
It really may have been an accident and not an intentional assault. But... on the other hand why did he leave the scene or is Rihanna blowing this out of proportion?
I originally heard she had a slight bruise on her face.
Not defending him, just not going to kick him to the curb until I know for sure what happened.
Lindsey - I'm pretty sure the blind item was "Which d-bag beats his beautiful action-star girlfriend"? Which I still think is the girlfriend here is Megan Fox.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as someone who dealt with abuse personally, nothing is worth this. Get out ladies, NOW.
WOW!! What an idiot! I can't believe he did this to her and she needs to press charges for sure. I mean his career and ratings are already doomed so I say go for it! Don't let him, or anyone for that matter, get away with this!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI hope she is smart enough to make sure he is charged with assault, & never gets near her again.
ReplyDeleteWasn't this relationship rumoured to be a coverup for the real relationship between Rihanna and Kanye? I've often wondered if that was true. Maybe Chris got sick of it?
ReplyDeleteI can see getting pretty heated up if she gave him the herp....but damn!
ReplyDeleteSmashed cheekbone and broken jaw??? A bit excessive seeing as supposedly all of H-Wood has herpes, too.
Shit, just get it already, get on the V for life and be done with it if it's that's pervasive.
@ Not on my dollar
ReplyDeleteRe:"he threw the glass which accidentally hit her in the face."
You can't be fucking serious? They are always 'accidents', non? Do you honestly think all this commotion would exist with LAPD, missing Grammys, over a small bruise and a glass being thrown? Celebrities would hide that bullshit in a heart beat.
I agree, wait until a judge rules the case, but he clearly has been a douche. Making excuses is deplorable.
wrigley just dropped him. it's a serious domestic violence charge. it was no accident.
ReplyDeletelatest report.
dear rihanna,
ReplyDeletedon't drop the charges.
Ease up on the herpes rumor. The Herpes rumor is just that, a rumor. I think Sandra Rose started that one last night. Rihanna had a cold sore/bump on her lip a few weeks ago. She linked it to Jay-Z yesterday. If Rihanna has the herpes and she got it from Jay-Z, then she's had herpes for the entire duration of her relationship with Brown. A little late in the relationship to be beating Rihanna over that.
ReplyDeleteDear Rihanna...
ReplyDeleteHe has to sleep sometime.
Never thought that 2 nineteen yr olds with tons of fame and money would last very long as a couple BUT I never dreamed it would go down this bad.
ReplyDeleteAnd I imagine she hotly disputed WHO gave WHO the herpes.
Take a couple Valtrex and get on with your lives.
we don't even know if she HAS herpes. it would be nice to keep the focus on the scumbag that abused her instead of getting sidetracked with something there is no evidence of.
ReplyDeleteLOL@majik
ReplyDeletefinally someone hit her.
ReplyDeleteThis is from Janet Charlton's site:
ReplyDeleteAny minute now, photos of Rihanna's beat up face are going to be released by police and we hear they AREN'T PRETTY. In fact we were told that Rihanna has TWO black eyes and broken teeth! (Those gorgeous teeth!) This was no love-slap. And we got a few more details: the battling couple was driving in Hancock Park (looking for Korean BBQ?) in Chris's rented Lamborghini when the arguing escalated and they pulled over. Rihanna had supposedly found numbers in Chris's phone that he shouldn't have. She grabbed the car keys and pretended to toss them out the window. THAT did it. He FREAKED out and let her have it. And we also heard THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.
sylvia, thnx for posting that.
ReplyDeleteof course it's happened before. and it will happen again. hopefully not with her, but you know some dysfunctional woman will put up with this shit because she thinks she deserves it or because he can buy her expensive things. it's sick.
Good scoop, Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is ALL rumors, btw...No one is derailing the fact that if this little shit beat Rihanna or any female he needs to be taught a serious lesson.
We're all on the same side here (well, except for maybe Norah...?)
Anyone know about her own upbringing? Any family domestic violence in her past that would lend itself to her putting up with it?
I'm not defending Chris I just don't know which rumor to believe because the story keeps changing. Now I'm hearing that Rihanna did not press charges because she LOVES HIM.
ReplyDeleteI just want to finally get the true story because every tabloid, and radio show has it's own story.
Whether or not RiRi pressed charges might be mute in the end. I don't know California law but where I live, if there are visible injuries then the State itself can press charges whether the victim cooperates or not. I also heard that this wasn't the first time. Whoever caught the eye patch fashion faux pas, that is a creepy thing to think about now that this fuckery has come to light. I hope the little fucker gets tossed in jail and gang raped. See how it is to be at the mercy of someone who has more power/strength than you. I also read that the douche trained in martial arts. That may have led to the deadly weapon charge depending on how extensive his training was in the arts. If he is like a brown/black belt that would make sense.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Jay Z (or some of his peeps)get a hold of this little bastard. Little punk's career is over.
"She grabbed the car keys and pretended to toss them out the window. THAT did it. He FREAKED out and let her have it."
ReplyDeleteThis guy has some serious anger issues. What do you want to bet he'll be one of those husbands that stabs his wife to death for serving dinner late?
His history with his step-father should have made him hate woman beating assholes - not become one.
I grew up watching my father regularly try to kill my mother and threaten her life etc, and yet she's still with the fucker. I don't understand why they stay either (especially when they have children).
It makes me lose part of my sympathy for the victim - though it has no effect on my feelings for the cowards that need to do that to someone to feel 'like a man'.
The law mentioned before about 'physical injuries = victim dropping charges is made irrelavant' should be mandatory everywhere. Why isn't it?
From the LA times...
ReplyDeletehttp://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/02/rihanna-coopera.html
shattered cheekbones and broken teeth??? these all sound increasingly worse off than what the more reputable people are saying-which is things got physical in a closed space(a car) and there were bruises and maybe bite marks?. common on.... i agree shit went down but her whole face being mutalated? ease off the hyper freak out enty.
ReplyDeletebut saying all that, if that did actually happen, all i have to say is..... look at Ike Turner, okay?
ReplyDeleteHe is the epitome of an asshole who still sold records. The same could happen here, unfortunatly.
Ike was able to make a living but he was done as far as the public was concerned. Same with David Ruffin when Tammi Terrell died. Reports were that he hit her in the head with a hammer, and she later developed the brain tumor that killed her.
ReplyDeleteWith this case, I think we'll eventually find out what happened but for now, it's all crrrr*p.
TMZ says this about the pics:
ReplyDeleteAs we reported, the photos show major contusions on both sides of the singer's face -- there is serious swelling and bruising. Her lip is split and her nose bloody. We have now confirmed there are bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers.
