chris say she hit you first we all know it she was the aggresser she likes too fight

Nelle912... are you kidding me?? did you and chris brown go to the same circle talking coach or what?? you say you "don't CONDONE ANY domestic violence", yet then you point out that there must have been a REASON for him to "go totally ape on her". you say she's "playing the victim" yet the photos from that night, clearly illustrate she WAS in fact the victim! why are your negative comments towards her as opposed to her attacker??? You say you dont "support his violence" but you "support his recovery" and my question to you is what have we seen or heard from him that speaks to any shred of sincerity or growth?? Nelle912: Ok i admit that there may be some ignorant people on here that get a kick out of writing stupid and immature comments but I am not one of them. I carefully stated that I did not CONDONE ANY domestic violence, whether it is male or female. I did not watch Rihanna nor did I fully watch Chris Brown. Answer this one question…We all have choices to make right? Well Rihanna made her choice as well as Chris Brown. Was their relationship built off of abuse, or was this just a one time occurrence? Was their relationship even real? Did Rihanna provoke him and he lost his cool? No one knows the complete details of the matter and all we can do is speculate. But I will tell you that no one that is that deep in the public eye goes totally ape on someone for no apparent reason. With that being said how can we even take sides? Why are we even commenting. Don’t you know that for every appearance that is made by one of these stars, it is a payday for them? Don’t you know that at the end of the day all that really matters is the bank account for SOME people? First of all I am not on team Chris or Team Rihanna, but I will say this. What he did to Rihanna was absolutely not right , but you better believe that in MY opinion if she was really that distraught and traumatized about the situation she would not allow her business and personal woes to be the front page of every magazine and news station. It would have to come to an end at some point, but instead she is milking the cow while she can and that is just My opinion. She can play the victim for only so long. At the end of the day we are all humans and it just so happens that she was blessed with a gift, but there has to be a point in your life when you have to sit back and think about yourself and not fame or money and to me since the whole incident I have been seeing more and more of this girl. I’m just saying. We fuel the fire just by keeping this thing alive. Chris Brown may have some deep internal issues but how would you like it if you are at work and all you hear from your co workers is that you have problems and you need to work it out and they don’t want anything to do with you and the people you used to kick it with in the break room was thru with and didn’t talk to you anymore? This man has the whole world doing it to him. I do not support his violence but I do support his recovery because having just one close person sour at me is a problem so I am wishing him well and I hope that people can get over the fact that he too makes mistakes and is not perfect as any other in this world. Just because he can sing and dance does not make him untouchable people.

um why am i seeing comments where ignorant people are saying that men don't just hit women for no reason, ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I am not saying that that thats what happened in this situation but some of you young girls are just plain stupid they have men that jump on women for no reason at all thats what abuse is, some men just hit and beat their wives cause they had a bad day at work, come home drunk and beat down their wife and kids, i mean do u honestly think a man just HAS to be provoked to beat up a woman?

I watched all of Rihanna's story...none of CB's interview. Allow me to explain why: Chris Brown's PR & Management team needs a major overhall. I think it's was very disrespectful that they would not allow Rihanna to have her moment alone speaking from her perspective without trying to distract people from watching her speak with the MTV interview. Don't think the above average didn't notice that sh*t! She didn't try to counter at the same time on YouTube when Chris Brown's YouTube video was posted. Rihanna did not try to schedule rebutals on Larry King after Chris Brown went on. She allowed him to have his time. This is extremely distasteful, and very disrepectful to Rihanna in my opinion. It has pushed me away from wanting to purchase anything associated with his camp. Chris' team is clearly focused on doing whatever it takes to increase sales, so they can continue sucking his blood. Chris is feeding a lot of, obviously, greedy industry folks, trust me. I understand Chris is merely doing what he is being told. However, his team is failing him, whether he sales or not because they are actually damaging his character more. Real men know when to be silent, and when to speak. This was Rihanna's time, and disperately trying to get their 2 cents in, at this juncture, is simply another slap in Rihanna's face. Also, don't focus on the people who are making ignorant comments on here stating it was "Rihanna's fault" etc. It's crystal clear that these people are more than likely abusive as well, and those negative comments are a testiment to that. Trust that they too will reap what's due for their ill words; GOD never misses a beat. We are clearly living in times where so many young boys (in particular) have become the walking dead (reflecting on the gang rape of the 15yr old). This is another reason why filmmakers make so many films about "zombies" and the "walking dead." It's a reality in so many forms, and this situation is just another example of that reality.

Chris is trying to move forward, I repsect him for that, he has so much to learn and work on. It takes time, but I'm sure there will be a day, when from a grown man perspective, he can reflect. Keep ya head up.

typing this just to say i didn't watch it just like the last one mehh.

LETS MOVE ON! We all have a past and if you know better - you'll do better. I don't judge him or Rhianna. They're both at fault. Apologize was in order and it was done. Chris apologized, did his community service and is making efforts to help those in domestic violence. I love you Chris & Rhianna the same. EVERYBODY MOVE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

please i strongly believe Rhianna provoked chris that night, caribbean woman are nagging an insecure, she wanted him for herself only. and im sure she has issues, no one in this world is perfecto.

keep ur head up chris...not taking sides. but in life these a right way&a wrong..............

for allthe people who saying Team Chris and ishh like that, if you were Rihanna in this situation would you feel the same way? You have to look at both side of the situation. Even if you don't like Rihanna would you really wish something like that to happen.

yall hatin on Chris...u knw who the real victim is? REAL BATTERED WOMEN that Rihanna is making gimmicks out of with all this BS for album sales......her story is real but not sincere...big PR stunt...abused women need a better representative than this fool, she never claimed to be a rep yes but the way she on her, Hi My Name Is Rihanna and I was abused and overcame my situation u can too, to all the young women in that situation i ...blah blah blah. ' Fck outta here, what she real means is, Hi My Name Is Rihanna, I was abused, even if u dont like my music, buy my album. It will help me heal faster

i loveeeeeeeeeee u cb u gon be ok

You also need the Statement he made regarding 20/20 interview from Rihanna. MTV has it.

REALLI CHRIS? REALLI? U DIDNT SAY ANYTHING MIGHT AS WELL U HAD STAYED HOME AND PLAY WITH U SKATE BOARD. CZ U REALLI DIDNT SAY ANYTHING HERE

To me its just funny how he has had numerous interviews and skated around the issue without going into much detail.. she had ONE--TODAY and basically went balls out on him.. That is just funny..I know its probably to protect his image because he was the aggressor but at the same time, she wasnt exactly as "innocent" as she tried to pull off in that 20/20 interview

He's not intelligent at all. He definitely needs more media training. Hate on Rihanna's interview all you want, but at least she gave people answers and was real about it. He's just been talking in circles with EVERY interview he does.

he is so full of it

funtimes: rihanna aint shit n i hope he beat her up again….on tv actin as if she didnt provoke him aint no man goin fuc u up for no reason..i respect chris for keepin some type of self respect and not exploiting the situation for publicity too bad i cant say the same for rihanna and her camp…n from the songs i heard her cd is goin to be trash…TEAM CByou are a f*ng asshole. that di*k face of yours deserves to get beaten up by Chris Brown as a matter of fact. Go and crawl back into the nearest hole/ rock cos clearly that’s where you come from. Stupid lowlife bi*ch. u r clearly a hater, thanks for the fire hater

"While I respect Rihanna's right to discuss the specific events of February 8, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us," he said in the statement. "I do appreciate her support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions. At this point, I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God."

Shay: I am saddened at the entire situation…I am very proud of CB for keeping their business private and not throwing her under the damn bus! Cause that chick really didn’t care and pretty much shitted on him on national t.v. SHM.. As she should have. He's only keeping it private because he knows he cheated, he knows he lied, and he knows he beat her up. I'm not buying that respect her privacy crap.

Tealeaf: Rihanna answered her questions directly Rihanna didn’t talk about her new albumChris muttered, stuttered and could not say how he punched, bite and choked Rihanna.He doesn’t care about protecting Rihanna privacy, he only wants to protect himself from the awful truth that beat a girl simply because of a argumentRihanna was the victim, She has mixed feelings about Chris about which ANY common sense person could understand.Those who want to keep that “She Must of Hit” theory need to go back to Wonderland with Alice..She said she didn’t hit him..there is no proof otherwise so I believe her.Chris Brown did mind talking in detail about his stepfather abuse, yet his abuse details are private..HypocriteChris Brown throw Rihanna under the bus when he left her beaten in that car…on Feb 8See Ya! Finally someone with the same feeling, Indeed I do believe her

I honestly, feel bad for chris brown right now, nothing justifies being a hand on a woman or anyone; however, she wants a level of respect and to stand up for women and young girls that are or were in situation such as she was, then im going to need to see this when there is not an album out that is so "highly anticipated". She also stated that she had just realized the pedestal people put her on and that she is human (that I understand) but she knows now her responsiblity toward the women and young girls that admire her. Really Rihanna? The mere fact that she can go out on the street everyday showing all her goods to the world on her "street catwalks", what responsibilty is she then taking? Did she confess once to the abuse towards him... no she didn't. It is a double standard when is comes to domestic violence and it is sad. Yes we as women can not do as much damage as a man can do to us but it does not make it right at all. I was in a relationship where I was violent towards my boyfriend and it was very wrong of me. And I am getting help for that. I also had a teenage cousin who was killed by her boyfriend, and she truly did nothing to deserve it. Not that I am saying Rihanna did deserve it, but that she just needs to take responsiblity as well. You want a level of privacy then create that level of privacy and dont try to destroy someone which she is doing for chris, it takes too much energy. If he fails he will on his own he is paying his dues and more im sure.

chris brown is a child guys...i keep 4gttng that he speaks like a teenager and not a man....i wish him and riri the best!!!!

I really believe we need to address this situation as a whole and lets stop the team CB and RiRi, this a sad situation for them to be in as young people and they both will need counseling and guidance to move on...as a parent it very saddening to see young people in this type of situation and I cannot believe this is easy on their mothers..I say to the both of them hold you heads up and work on yourselves...forget the pressures of being a role model, you dont need to parent anyone kids...thats the parent job to do...God bless

Chris is clearly making the wise decision by not going into full detail and giving more attention to a story that needs to go away, as opposed to Rihanna who is on full album promotion/playing the total victim role. FYI, Rihanna played a role in the altercation as well. On the one hand she portrays herself as a strong/rebellious woman, but on the other hand she acts as if she is totally innocent as far as the fight is concerned. Chris has admitted he was wrong, and she should be the strong woman she claims to be and admit her part in all this. And yeah, I will be copping that new Chris Brown CD. He is shining as a true artist right now despite it all, unlike others...
