Obviously everyone has heard and or read about the alleged Rihanna and Chris Brown violent altercation that transpired on Feb .8. Everyone has an opinion but first let’s look at what we think we know. I broke it down into a timeline for us to look at.
Feb 8- domestic dispute occurs and Chris Brown turns himself in and is released on $50,000 bail
Feb 9- both celebs are no shows at the Grammy’s where they were scheduled to perform
Feb 9-10- Wrigley’s Doublemint chewing gum suspended ads featuring Chris Brown
Feb 12- Stations all over the country including Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York and Indianapolis
Feb 14- “Got Milk” ads featuring Chris Brown were suspended
Feb 15- Brown releases a statement saying he is “….sorry and saddened over what transpired….is seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed with God’s help to emerging into a better person.”
Feb 19- TMZ obtains and publicizes a photo of Rihanna just after the dispute took place which is believed to have been leaked by the LAPD
Feb 20- Rihanna releases her first public statement since the unfortunate incident and says “At the request of the authorities , Rihanna is not commenting on the incident involving Chris Brown. She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well and deeply appreciates the out pouring support she has received during this difficult time.”
March 5- Chris Brown is due in court
So here are some of the facts. Now I have a few questions…..
Was it right for Rihanna’s photo to have been publicized?
PRIVACY……Aren’t celebrities entitled to it?
Domestic violence has happened to celebs such as Tina Turner, Janet Jackson and now Rihanna. Everyone knows it happens to everyday people so why does it matter that these women are celebs?
Please feel free to give me your honest opinion and you may answer these question if you wish. I can’t wait to hear from you.
Love Ya!

i think they need to leave chris n rihanna alone and let them take care of thier own problem
Tasha Says:
I think the whole situation is a mess,and for their business to be out there like it is violates their right to privacy. But at the same time Chris and Rhiaana should not invite the whole world into their problems. Also I have to say no matter who threw the first punch no one deserves to get beaten on.
