Being a former case advocate for women who have been victim's of domestic violence it really irks me that people victimize the victim again after they speak out about the abuse. Abuse is abuse, verbal or physical, and a woman can never beat a man so the man (being a gentleman)has an obligation to walk away and cool off. I know many men that would never raise a hand to a lady for any reason. He was wrong, domestic violence has been part of his upbringing and he needs to get the counseling he needed as a child. Bravo Rihanna for speaking out to save the life of another young lady. Women lose their lives every second at the hands of a love one??? People wake up and stop judging others.

Its so funny and ironic how society works! Its OK for a women to work among men at jobs and military, but its OK for a women to a hit man and the man cant do anything about it or else he will be ridiculed! Women species is very very emotional! This a prime example of alot of pressure build up in a relationship and exploded on t.v. All im saying MEN AND WOMAN ARE WE REALLY EQUAL???

Ii is sad for me to read how crazy people are to write those comments.You dont hit people,period.We are human,we get angry.However be strong and walk away.I believe this situation will help the world on domestic violence.Man have to understand some girls can be so bad,just be strong and walk away.Chris learn a lesson to loose a beautiful girl like that.she is unique.He will regret to loose that girl all his life.Woman should walk away as soon as possible when a man hit you.If he do it once,he will do it again and again until he kills you.I grew up to see my father beating my mother.It is the wrost thing a child can experience.She stay w him until he died on her hand.

I dont think any woman(or man, for that matter) deserves to be hit or beat in a relationship. However, isnt this the 3rd time Rhianna has "broken her silence" about Chris Brown?? Didnt she do it on Oprah and in a magazine too? I think it is horrible that it happened to her and it shouldnt have happened to her...but the timing of the interview is a tad much too coincidental.

so? Chris brown did the interview like a month ago, coincedently before his single. And atleast Rihanna GAVE an interview, unlike Chris, who sat there saying "I can't really say.." like 10000 time.

And I don't care what anyone says...Woman OR man, violence is NEVER okay. Period.

You are so right if there was no album we would not see her. Selling her soul to sell an album.

Not replying to Suri, but to Leslie. Leslie....excuse me, what is this: "Abuse is abuse, verbal or physical, and a woman can never beat a man so the man (being a gentleman)has an obligation to walk away and cool off." Are. You. On. Drugs? Living on another planet? Living in a cave? I'm sorry, but what the hell? A woman can never beat a man? In what universe? I'm a woman, so please explain yourself.

wateva! you are so freaking judgmental! dang! he made a mistake! he has his consequences so ppl like you need to shut up! i love chris brown && always will!

there are two sides to every story, i never heard chris brown's side. the media took it and ran, as always.

because they r idiots

hahahahah
oh my god im most def with you! wtf is she wearing? lol why the hell did she cut her hair? and die it? she is not cute any more... sorry

Are you kidding? He apologized and is trying to make it right? How dense are you? She went back to this creep 8 or 9 times after this kind of physical abuse. yea, he's trying to make it right, he's lying and trying to cover his azz so he has a career left. Be real. This girl gave this creep too many chances and should have had him locked up after the first incident. You need help.
