Up until now, we have avoided posting too much about the Rihanna/Chris Brown domestic violence saga. Partially out of respect, and partially because we're just disgusted.


News that Brown had roughed up Rihanna broke after both pop stars missed the 2008 Grammy Awards. The details were fuzzy, but not for long; reports of why he got violent, along with photos of Rihanna's bruised up face, eventually surfaced.

Every blog, celebrity, family member and news anchor had something to say about it, usually along the lines of "what a bastard, stay strong girl."

The most disturbing bit of news came this weekend - Rihanna is going to take him back! The "Umbrella" singer has been spotted reconciling with Brown at Diddy's Miami compound.


Jet-skiing this weekend in Miami

    A source tells People, "They are definitely together and care a great deal about each other," says a Miami source. "They feel like staying in and working through their issues. So far they have not wanted to go out."

We get it, they're in love. But in our opinion, there is no excuse for violence of that caliber. What's your take?

She is in a business where you need to really watch who you become in life because people idolize you. She is setting a bad example for young girls. I felt bad for her, but if he did it once he will do it again. Letting younger women think that it's okay to be treated like that is awful.

Personaly, i don't think it's a good idea for her to go back to him. Especialy since supposedly this is the second time this has happened. BUT.. i truly don't think it's anybody's bussiness but her's and her family's.

I am sooo disappointed in her decision to get back together with Chris Brown. It's only a matter of time before does it again; but no matter how many people advise her to stay away for her own safety, only SHE can and HAS TO come to terms of reality -- which is, if he did it once, he will do it again. That, and SHE CAN DO BETTER.

Maria Ulloa

POSTED 3 YEARS AGO

If it were anyone else, I would say that they could work this out and he could get help, but since its not someone else and she is a famous idol for younger and older girls I have to say that she would be setting a pretty bad example to get back together with Chris.

Love does not conquer all. She should realize that a lot of young girls look up to her and if they see her going back before he seeks the help he needs they are going to think that its alright, and if they end up in the same situation they will stay instead of getting out.

having been in violent relationships i think that its not even fair to blame it on him entirely. not one of us was there to know EXACTLY what happened. maybe they had a few drinks maybe she saw the text and punched him. just a theory. almost every fight i was in with a boyfriend, i started. was chris brown excessive wth the amount of forced used, yes. is it possible for both parties to work through this, yes.

It's difficult because we probably don't know the full story. But if what I have read is true I definately would not take him back. But she is young, maybe they will work it out if there is more to it than what we know or maybe she will wise up and get rid later.

He was one of my favorite singers/dancers but after this I thought twice about it. Yes, he's talented but what he did...was wrong and there's no excuse for it. He needs to get some counseling and treatment for his anger and she needs time to herself, who says this might not happen again? I've seen it first hand in my family, oh he loves me, blah blah blah and it keeps happening and she runs back...yeah maybe a women gets scared and afraid for her life but you need to realize getting back with a person who treats you like this is sickening. Nobody should be treated like that

I wish them both the best and I hope they work things out but I'm not sure the both of them together is the best thing either.

Rihanna...what the hell?

Like other people have already stated, Rihanna taking Chris back sets a frightening example for the easily influenced people who look up to her. I know a lot of celebrities say things like "It's not my job to be a role model," but it doesn't matter...when you're in the spotlight, you're usally going to gain not only a fanbase, but a group of fans whose love for you extends beyond your Hollywood career. I'm not saying it's right that people can't acknowledge the line that separates a celebrity's career from their personal life, but I'm saying that since you're aware that nobody does acknowledge it, you do need to make an effort to discern right and wrong for the demographic of people who will start believing that it's ok to be beaten on by someone else, and that you should take them back even though they put your life at risk.

Brenna

I see where people are coming from but its wrong to call her a bad example. When your in a situation like that you don't think in those terms. Theres a bunch of other girls being abused, she thinks it won't happen again and they can work it out. Calling her a bad example is wrong, she is a victim and her mind is clouded. If the same thing happened to your friend you wouldn't go around saying shes stupid. You would feel bad for her and try to help her.

first of all what if children have horrible parents to look up to? Like mine?
I would never look up to them.

I mean I wouldn't look up to a celeb like her anyway, but the point is other's might. Depending if they had a situation like me or not.

Anyway, has Rihanna came out HERSELF and said that she is IN FACT staying with him? this is just coming from a source.

And if she is IN FACT staying with him, well, hopefully they both get help and work through this.

It sets a bad example for young women to see a beautiful, talented woman like Rihanna practically tell the world that what Chris Brown did to her is forgivable enough to actually get back with him.

She needs to do what's best for her. There's no excuse for violence AT this caliber? There's no excuse for violence at all. I honestly want to hear from Chris Brown's side of the story. Not because I'm a fan, but it's the right thing to do. Now, I may add that he took a little too far, especially if it was self defense. Rihanna has a history of beating up on Chris Brown..but no one airs that because there is a double-standard in society. It sickens me..
