Chris Brown's manager, Tina Davis, was named by TMZ as the woman behind the text message that sparked his alleged beating of Rihanna. She has since denied the claims, saying: "The rumors in circulation are false. There are no emails between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown of the type which have been described in media reports."

Chris Brown made a brief appearance in court on March 5, but did not enter a plea to felony charges. He has been charged with two felonies -- felony assault and making criminal threats -- in relation to his alleged assault on Rihanna.

Even with all of the legal drama, various reports have claimed that Rihanna and Brown are back together, though none have been confirmed. E! News also reported that the two were working on a duet together.

Court documents revealed that the police report claims Brown allegedly assaulted Rihanna in his car after she discovered a text message on his phone. According to the report, Brown smashed her head against the window, and then punched and bit her.

TMZ obtained a photo that appears to be singer Rihanna, taken shortly after Chris Brown allegedly beat her following a pre-Grammy party. Police have said the woman had visible injuries, and that Brown was gone from the scene when they arrived.

Brown can be seen leaving the police station after being booked. According to police reports, he assaulted Rihanna in the car, and told her "I'm going to beat the s--- out of you when we get home." He also allegedly threatened to kill her after she told her assistant to call the police.

In their cover story, PEOPLE spoke with the father of Rihanna, who says he hopes his daughter is done with boyfriend Brown after his alleged assault. Shortly after, reports that Rihanna and Brown were back together in Miami emerged.

Brown, seen a day before the alleged attack, released a statement on Feb. 15, which read in part, "Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired."

The New York Daily News reports the "new/old lady" is Virginia college student Erica Jackson and that the pair "reconnected a few weeks ago when Chris was in town," according to source close to the singer. "They've been spending a lot of time together, but things only really heated up over the last two weeks."

"She's more of a plain Jane -- cute though," says the Daily News source. "At the very least, she's helping to ease Chris' pain over Rihanna. He was mad in love with that girl."

According to X17, Brown is getting help from other sources as well. The singer was spotted with another lady friend, Girlicious singer Natalie Mejia, at a tatoo parlor on Saturday. See Pics

"Ri is going to be so hurt that Chris has moved on so quickly and is parading this new girl around town," a friend says.

Brown pleaded not guilty to felony assault charges on April 6 stemming from an alleged beating he gave Rihanna after a pre-Grammys party in February.
