Rihanna On Good Morning America, Pt. 2

Sandra Rose November 6, 2009

Rihanna is so strong and so insightful in this interview with GMA’s Diane Sawyer. I have a newfound respect for Rihanna because we heard these rumors that she was sneaking and seeing Chris Brown. So it’s good that she came out and cleared the air on that one. She obviously hates him so much right now. But she’s taking the high road. Good for her!

Terry .W

Oh RiRi – I have so many mixed feelings about her timing, some of the words she chose. I can only hope she is speaking from a real place because the topic in itself is important…sad that a check is attached to get them both to tell their stories ( I would think)

I really had no desire to see this at first but I think I will be checking it out. I read some of the interview and WOW!

That RHWOA show last night was one big Kim sounded awful eve with a track.

I will exit post also i have mixed feelings about her so i’ll leave it at that.

@Ms.kay

:lolol:
KayCeiSoul

Yes – mizz, I agree. I never got pissed about this before, but I am now.

She’s telling bits and pieces and admitted to not “letting it go” but didn’t detail her part in it yet. Hopefully we’ll get that later in this drawn out revelation.

He was wrong for jacking her up, absolutely, but he didn’t Ike her without provocation. Some situations can be avoided.
https://sandrarose.com Ms.kaylamomma

I love Rihanna and I can’t wait for her CD to drop November 23rd but this right here… it’s too much. I’m glad I can’t view the video at work. Do they have a transcript or something?
KayCeiSoul

…And furthermore, if she wants to be a “role model” as she stated she was, she should start with laying it all out on the line, so that these girls know how to avoid provoking DV situations too.
http://myspace.com/tamarlese Peachizz

She obviously hates him so much right now.- did I miss something? Cause I coulda sworn she said she still love ad care about him and wants him to do well? (I must of heard wrong)…
…LOL I need more Ram..
http://createspace.com/3393054 iscream

Here’s some of the interview.

“He was definitely my first big love. We were best friends. We fell in love with each other. To fall in love with your best friend can be scary. We just fell fast. The more in love we became, the more dangerous we became for each other. Equally as dangerous because it was a bit of an obsession….almost.”

I caught him in a lie and he wouldn’t tell the truth. I wouldn’t drop it. I couldn’t take that he was lying to me and he couldn’t take that I wouldn’t drop it because obviously his back was up against the wall. The truth was right here in a text message. So, it escalated into him being violent against me and it was ugly.

Diane: How did you think it was going to end?

That’s all I kept thinking the whole time was “when is it going to stop, when is it going to stop”. He had no sole in his eyes. Just blank. He was clearly blacked out. There was no person when I looked at him. I was battered. I was bleeding, I was swollen in my face. There was no way of me getting home. My next option was for me to get out of the car and start walking and I got out with a bloody face. So I really don’t know what was my plan. I really didn’t have a plan. That whole night was not a part of my plan.

(Narration before Rihanna speaks again)
He was my best friend. We were in love, it takes time. Love doesn’t go right away. He didn’t accept that very well. Obviously he didn’t want us to be apart but I had to make a decision that was right for me.

Diane: Do you hate him?
No, I don’t hate him at all. I actually love and care about him and I am concerned about him doing well. I want him to do well, have a great career, have a great life and grow up…and take this as something you had to go through to grow up and learn.

browni007

yes, the timing is awful and the check attached to it is equally as awful — we all speak from our own experience – and after being lied to one too many times, I wouldnt let go either – so I could see that part happened and a shove in anger but it doesnt warrant the beatdown. I will be praying for both of them b/c that’s a life changer.
browni007

and I aint support neither one of them – cant remember the last time I purchased music.

anyone seen attorneymom?

You can’t avoid “provoking” a DV situation when you are in a relationship with a man that is capable of doing what Chris did to Rihanna. That is what many victims never get. They can’t stop that man. Anywho, I’m looking forward to seeing both of their interviews tonight. I have intentionlly not watched any of these Diane Sawyer clips. I want to hear it all. For anyone who does want an excerpt, you can check out Perez. I read a lot of what she said there, but again the snippets are not for me.

What is most amazing to me is that people actually act like it is impossible for Chris to be an abuser. Is it because he’s cute? A star? What? I just don’t get the total disbelief. She HAD to have asked for it because it was him. Why?

AttorneyM..

She posted on the Comdey Audition thing but it was just a link to her site.

And I can’t remember the last time I bought an album either……
heavn_sent

@ brown: Go to her site if you want to find her. She posted a link yesterday.
http://myspace.com/thegameoncw Bird

I’ve seen that blank look. It is the look that makes you think the man could kill you. He’s looking at through you like he doesn’t care about your life as he hits, chokes, beats you. It is extremely scary. God bless them both. I pray they can learn from this. I’m sorry that Chris witnessed the abuse of his mother. I know that is at the root of this thing.
Divinebrown

I don’t want to say anything.

You know, I haven’t sympathized with her up until this moment. I thought about the DV in my family. And I can’t see how a woman can provoke a man so much that he has to hit.

I can finally see it from her p.o.v.

This girl’s story has more holes than than a box of krispy kreme.
Was he wrong for hitting her yes, but something is still not adding up.

They both are young and I’m sure both played apart in what lead up to that night. I pray they both move on and like she said grow up.
KayCeiSoul

@ Bird – I don’t condone what Chris did in any way form or fashion, but this particular incident has always seemed to have more to it; I think it started with the rumors that she hit him with a shoe or something.

So until Rhianna can clarify that, the question is still out there. It’s no more right for her to hit him than it is for him to hit her. He’s going to have a felony regardless, but the whole story needs to be told.

I agree that there are some situations where the victim doesn’t have a chance to avoid provoking a situation, but this wasn’t the first time they’d battled it out (so I’ve heard) and if that is the truth then Rhianna may have had some insight to avoid escalating the situation and to get the hell away from Chris, especially if she saw evidence of his lying…what more do you need if you already know he has violent tendencies and is now lying/cheating??

Love IS blind, and I’m not judging her, just saying that I feel the whole thing could have possibly been avoided.
kcicero

@ DB
I haven’t watched the clip yet but after reading the transcript I can see it from her P.O.V too. I will say that if someone is being slapped it is natural to hit back if you are that type of MAN. However, bitting, punching, chocking, and slamming heads is more than over kill.

The point where she talks about saying a blank look in his eyes is what hit home. I too have seen that look and you know you have to get the hell out of dodge because that person is capable of killing.
http://twitter.com/LaydeeJustice LadyJustice =)

chris didnt drag her name like she is doing his. hopefully if he will tell more during his interview tonight.

@ Bird *waves* How are you? I have my spurts where I’m around and then I’m back to lurking again, lol. The fam and I are doing great, I can’t wait to pop in a couple of weeks How about you? When’s the wedding?
http://createspace.com/3393054 iscream

@ Bird

Girl I got tears n my eyes because you said it best. I’ve saw that look & it is scary.. Like you said. Makes you think that man can kill you. I got chills thinking about that. Never even realized I still had that fear in me after all this time.

@ Brownie

I saw attrnymom comment on Freddy O (I only mentioned site bc u made a post about him) in that Sandra Rose post he put up. Which btw probably got him more hits then he ever had.

@Bird… Doesn’t bother me and I RESPECT others opinion EVEN IF I don’t agree NOW as far as your comment MY RETORT is Equal Blame should equate to Equal punishment – IMO

****************************************

WOW

I don’t want to make too much of it, but I’m a sensitive cornball. As a former victim of “DV” it hurt my soul a little every time one of me SR sisters said she had to have asked for it like there are not men out there that beat women for sport. I didn’t care if I read anywhere else, but here it was personal for some reason. I really had to step back from it.

If not one other person “sees her point of view” I am satisfied today. Thank you so much.

keely107

DITTO DB & BIRD! JUST DAYUM!
missy

Okay okay last comment on this

I agree with @starr this did leave me with more questions than answers……….. I just wished that she had done this earlier especially if she wanted to consider herself a role model for little girls she should have done this last month or so before any one knew her album was coming out(if her album was coming out next year than I would be cool)

But you know what Ms.Fenty I’ll leave you alone and hope you continue to get close with God…
Daisy

I believe they are both telling half truths and when she says EQUALLY as dangerous I guess that’s what folks on twitter who have worked with them BOTH were referring to when they said she was abusive to him and they witnessed her attack him during the relationship and couldn’t believe she was lying and painting him out to be an abuser again ppl who r friends w/ them both

I love me some RiRi but I am not buying everything she selling right now

Bird just like u wonder why is it so hard for ppl to accept that CB is an “abuser” same reason some ppl want to excuse a womans temper and violence like its ok for women to hit men when NEITHER is right. CB was wrong I have said that from day one BUT that doesn’t mean she doesn’t need to own up to her actions as well and NO I do not blame her for his actions before sumbody ASSumes that!

God knows all and sees all and he knows what did and didn’t happen n the relationship and car

I CB for getting help and RiRi for telling her story!

Team BOTH!

Can’t wait for both their interviews later on today!
kcicero

Ugh I know I said I wouldn’t comment BUT I have to say that telling a victim of any kind of abuse when it is okay to tell their story to me is not OKAY.

There are people who are abused that never tell their story because the shear pain of it brings out memories that they never want to deal with again. Some people even make believe that the abuse never happened because if they admit it to themselves it will consume them and make them snap. If her story whether *false* or not makes someone speak up about their abuse whether it was done today, yesterday or tomorrow, then I applaud and support…

With that being said I hope that they both get the help they BOTH need…
wiggy2272003

Bird, I am the same way, not that I could watch at work anyway but I could when I get home. I need to see it all in all contexts. Yesterday I was suprised because they were talking bout it on the radio and all the callers opninion was 1. She deserved becasus she hit him back(has CB even ever said that? 2. She is only doing this because of her album asking why she didn’t talk when it first happend, which of course she couldn’t do untill the legal proceedings were through.
wiggy2272003

oh and all the callers on the radio were women
Cinnamon Kisses

Bird…….I know what you are saying! I have been a victim as well and there are women who DO NOT provoke the situation AND are still beat just because! I was not there when Rhianna and Chris’s situation happened but I truly hope that they can move on and grow from this!
luvly1957

Having been in an abusive relationship I can see wat she means wit da look but dis girl is not telling the whole story or da truth. She is trying to sell her music and not say somethin dat would make ppl turn away from her. she went BACK more than once and after Jay got in dat azz she stopped. I have very little if any respect for her.

Bird no one is taking up for CB, it’s just Rihash needs to let it all out her part in all this and I am not condoning wat he did it was wrong as two left shoes and beating a woman for any reason is wrong but she played a part in it and again I’m not saying it’s her fault but her story has very BIG holes in it and the timing sucks.

Lastly, I would not want her half naked azz to be a role model to my children. Put some clothes on and make a decent cd, better still stop trying to sing and just model cuz she does dat real well.
Mspeng

Bird, KCicero and Iscream…I’m gad you guys can see her pov. I’m also aware of that soul-less, blank stare given as a person u love and trust kicks you and punches you and beats you like a punching bag. I don’t care what she did to him. Majority of the time a woman is significantly smaller than a man and the little flick or pointing fingers did NOT warrant her getting that done to her. He’s a coward for doing that to her. I’m not confused about why she’s talking now. She’s about to drop an album and many fans wouldn’t allow her to succeed without hearing something. I’m sure if she never had to, she would have never said anything because most DV victims are silent. I’ve worn turtlenecks, sunglasses, long sleeves to hide bruises and black eyes. It’s no life to live!
http://createspace.com/3393054 iscream

I need to watch this tonight but I read that Chris Brown said how when he went on Larry King he had a lot of coaching and that’s why he got tripped up because he didn’t feel like himself.

Maybe Rhianna also had a lot of people in her ear telling her not to speak. I’m not for people putting their hands on anyone. But I have never saw Chris walking around with bruies, never heard of him calling the Police on her, never heard of him getting some chicks to bust her up. So rumors of her doing this, this, and that just doesn’t add up until HE admits it.

Women are emotional and young women aren’t eqiup to handle those emotions. If she found a text message that proved something that hurt her heart. I can see where she may have gone off the deep end. SINCE HE DID WRONG TO CAUSE THAT EMOTION TO BE STIRRED UP he should’ve controlled himself.

I will be there for the interview tonight.

what does jai jai say about this????

Michael Baisden did a show sometime this week asking why women hate each other. I was thinking, “I don’t hate women and I have plenty of women friends,” but the fact is I’ve seen what he’s talking about. Hell when I lived in Jerz if I had a party I had to pick and chose who I could invite because people I was friends with were not friends with each other for the most stupid reasons. I don’t know what’s up with it. Glad I don’t have the problem. I love everyone.

I don’t know if Rihanna beat the boy, but I do know we have not seen any “abuse pics” of him. And I’m still holding out hope that she will be forthcoming in the interview which is why I don’t like those snippets. I want to hear all of it. I won’t think of her as any less of a victim if she has anger issues of her own sort out. She’ll just be another person that needs to get a grip and learn right from wrong in this regard.

Unlike some, I don’t wish poverty and death on Chris Brown. I am praying he will get help, because even if Rihanna slapped the hell out of him for cheating his reaction is a problem. After his little YouTube thing I was missing them as a couple again. Now I’m really glad they broke up and are moving on and I hope Chris’ heart can mend because it’s clear he’s still in pain.
Daisy

Isc CBs interview with Angie was much betta and natural I cld tell he was very nervous scared uncomfy on LKing

KC I agree I don’t care that RiRi is speaking out now that her cd is about to drop I always figured she would wait until this point to tell her story

Oprah would have asked her what she meant but EQUALLY as dangerous! Lol
jazi65

Since this is only a snippet of the entire interview I don’t see the point in jumping down rih rih’s throat about not saying what part she took in the assault..if any

As for her timing for doing this just before her album comes out, who the hell cares? She’s not the first nor with she be the last to do it. Where was all this backlash when whitney did it? Didn’t beyonce start yakking to everyone who would listen just before she went on tour? Celebs never do interviews for the hell of it..at the end of most interviews you always hear “look for ____’s cd in stores or ______’s movie comes out ____ please go see it..It’s the business, everybody does it.

I agree bout those emotions, without guidance and your real reality you can and will make poor decisions based on feelings. However in life you live and learn.

The ONE-SIDED-NESS of DV is very disturbing because PLENTY of MEN have died at the hands of Women (And Vise-Versa…)

Verbally Abusing, Acting out-of-control, Purposely Pushing buttons and Getting ALL-UP in someone’s Face whose trying to completely AVOID any kind of physical confrontation ROUTINELY GETS EXCUSED when woman are guilty of These Behavior-n-Actions

WOMAN can be just as Violent-n-Abusive-n-Disrespectful as MEN
KayCeiSoul

I was in a toxic and abusive relationship during my 20’s, and it took for the brother to go to jail for me not to have to look over my shoulders, so I have been there. It was pure hell, and I did everything to get away short of murder. It is from experience that I even know that some situations are provoked, and some aren’t.

I didn’t know how to “let things go” either, but I found out how the first time it turned violent. I didn’t walk away because it was one incident, and I played a part in it (young thinking), but then came the times when I didn’t provoke it. I understand the difference between the two, believe me, and the difference doesn’t ever make the offender right, it only places accountability where it is justly supposed to be.
I still have a couple of scars…arm..leg, and they will be there for life.

I hate to hear that any woman has to go through this, but the decisions we make are life changing and long lasting. I do wish Rhianna the best. But my mama always told me about fighting anybody…”you got to bring azz to get azz”.

When u want to help someone u do it for free. When I speak about my past to young girls I do it from the heart for free. Telling half the truth doesn’t help anyone I will not watch either interview because at this Point I don’t believe either if them are doing nothing more but saving there careers. I really hope Rihanna tells young girls how to avoid this because when u point the finger one way there three pointing back at u.

@Elove…….. If a woman punches,slaps or kicks a man he doesn’t have the right to hit them.You are making valid points but I can see from both side of the spectrum.

I have never been in a DV case but I have seen family members and I know how it affected them .

and I concur with Nichelle.

“the more dangerous we became for each other”,… “Equally as dangerous”…

I commend her for seemingly choosing her words carefully and appearing to ensure she does not misrepresent the story and her part in what led up to CB battering her. How very adult and intuitive of her. She didn’t paint the picture of “I was jus minding my business and WHAM!!!..he hit me”

Whittney Houston (though may have been deservingly) didn’t even give that to Bobby Brown when she told their story on Oprah.

Please understand I am not justifying or making light of her being battered. “No Soul”… “No Person”,… “when is it going to stop”,… “he had clearly blacked out”…are indications that dispite her not dropping it…this was not something she expected to happen and absolutely shouldn’t have happened for any reason.

RiRi is not telling her story to a Woman’s Shelter on Auburn avenue. That would be the ONLY reason to re-live that night pro-bono. I am not mad that a check is involved. PAY-UP!!

She is telling her story to Diane Sawyer a highly paid representative of the media, Better she get paid by the same media that would just as easily right untruths and speculation otherwise.

OK last i will ever speak on dis subject again cuz it’s old and we all have our personal opinions but i no da same could b said for whitney but dis is so different, yes she couldn’t speak due to the trail but when she did speak she was not totally honest and you could tell she picked her words VERY carefully. Plus how can you b a role model doing wat she does and dressing like she does. Would u want ur daughter to look up to her, if i had a daught er i certainly would not. Again, i am not taking up for CB he was wrong but she is not being honest wit wat she is saying. also, if Jay-Z had not spoke on it she would still be with him.

IRREGARDLESS OF PEOPLES THOUGHTS ON TIMING

THIS HAS TO BE HUMILIATING FOR HER-WHO WOULD WANT THE WHOLE FUGGIN WORLD TO KNOW THEY GOT THEIR AZZ BEAT DOWN BY SOMEONE THEY WERE IN LOVE WITH

FOR HER TO OPENLY DISCUSS IS COURAGEOUS TO SAY THE LEAST AND MANY OF YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES AND IF YOU WERE IN HER SHOES WOULD HAVE PROBABLY DONE EVERYTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO AVOID THE EMBARRASSMENT AND COVER UP WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED

SOME OF YOU NEED TO COME OFF YOUR FRIGGIN SOAP BOX AND STOP ANALYZING SHIAT THAT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER

SHE GOT HER AZZ BEATZ-SHE’S TALKING ABOUT IT IRREGARDLESS OF THE “TIMING” OF HER ALBUM FOR HER TO FACE THE WORLD AND EXPOSE HER SELF TO “HARSH” CRITICISM AND SCRUTINY PUBLICLY SHOWS THAT SHE TOO IS VULNERABLE AND QUITE HUMAN

AND IF MANY OF US WERE IN HER SHOES-WE WOULDN’T DARE OPENLY TALK ABOUT THE ABUSE WE SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF OUR LOVERS

Everytime I read this comments this song comes to mind. Had to post it.

As I look at what I’ve done
The type of life that I’ve lived
How many things I pray the father will forgive

One situation involved a young man
He was the ocean and I was the sand
He stole my heart like a thief in the night
Dulled my senses blurred my sight

I used to love him but now I don’t
I used to love him but now I don’t
I chose a road of passion and pain

Sacrificed too much and waited in vain
Gave up my power ceased being queen
Addicted to love like the drug of a fiend
Torn and confused wasted and used
Reached the crossroad which path would I choose

Stuck and frustrated I waited, debated
For something to happen that just wasn’t fated
Thought what I wanted was something I needed
When momma said no I just should have heeded
Misled I bled till the poison was gone
And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn

I used to love him but now I don’t
I used to love him but now I don’t

Father you saved me and showed me that life
Was much more than being some foolish man’s wife
Showed me that love was respect and devotion
Greater than planets deeper than oceans
My soul was weary but now it’s replenished
Content because that part of my life is finished

I see him sometimes and the look in his eye
Is one of a man who’s lost treasures untold
But my heart is gold I took back my soul
And totally let my creator control
The life which was his to begin with
I used to love him but now I don’t
wiggy2272003

Bird, I am glad you mentioned that show because I heard it too and wanted to bring that up here. I was actually gonna email SR and see if she would do a post on it. Its true.

E its not that its one sided men are the stronger sex so they usually win in physical altercations which keeps a lot of women from getting violent.

Nechelle not that I ever called myself a victim first I don’t speak on it much and if I do its casual more like beat my azz.BUT I will use the word survivor from now on.

About her getting paid to talk, she is under contract for interviews etc. People are heavily invested in her and are not going to let her give all that up for free.Just the way it is. Hopefully she will get involved in the cause
missy

@isc… what is the name of this song
http://oneperfectassistant.com ggouch

We really have to stop using the term”ROLE MODEL” so loosely and without provocation….

Childrens first and most dominate role models should be their parents and family members.Upclose and personal examples. Indiviuals they can touch and see in THEIR day to day life. Not the person or persons they see in movies, tv, videos, or in 7 mininute interviews.

@Lully 1957. says….she is not being honest wit wat she is saying. also, if Jay-Z had not spoke on it she would still be with him.

Some poeople try and speak on things inbetween the lines. It’s not ok for women to hit men. When talking about chris and Rhi-Rhi he went really far. As stated before he could have walked away. Why did he keep pounding and pounding on her. She could not beat him period. when he got that first good blow in why didn’t he stop and get out the car? Because he is an abuser. His picture should be on a DV poster. He punched, bit and smashed her head in. She could not beat him period. People who say she provoked it or she is as guilty has never experienced someone taking advantage of their strength over them.

I agree with Bird she makes sense.

@wiggy
I AGREE about the “stronger sex” BUT TOTALLY disagree about the rest… ONLY Real Women have that SENSE-Mechanism and we ALL KNOW just like there far fewer Real Men in this world… The SAME can be said about Real Women !!!

@intensemocha
ITS NOT HUMILIATING ITS BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!! BUSINESS 101… USE YOUR STORY TO APPEAL TO OTHERS WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SAME THING…

AND RIHANNA WASNT HUMILIATED WHEN SHE SAID SHE HIT HER OWN BROTHER ACROSS THE HEAD WITH A GLASS BOTTLE…< THAT THERE IS HUMILIATING…
missy

But some people don’t have positive role models let’s be real.Some people have parents who are not the best role models(or even family members).That’s why people look to celebrities as people who they can relate to(i am not saying that this is right) because they can be going through the same situation.That’s why they use celebrities to be spoke persons for foundations and etc…..

Me on the other hand i don’t have a celebrity role model but i like peoples traits that can be very good examples to live by or inspires me in a certain way.

I dont feel as though Rihanna owes anyone an explanation, she waiting until she was ready which is 9 months later. No matter what she says or does people will still have their opinion about her.

@ Intensemocha: Girl you know I E-LOve you.. We o E-way back,

But I disagree slightly with this statement: AND IF MANY OF US WERE IN HER SHOES-WE WOULDN’T DARE OPENLY TALK ABOUT THE ABUSE WE SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF OUR LOVERS….

The only people that would be embarrassed would be those who stay dispite the abuse. Those are the ones not telling their story. Them and the ones who died before they could tell their story.
missy

@fly you can’t dispute with some people who are set in their ways just how you may be set in your ways(not saying you aren’t a open person) they are.

Me personally i like to grow and learn i agree with most of the comments but when @Elove made his points that a women shouldn’t put their hands on a man most disagreed whiles i did agree (even though he may not understand me).

IMO i think most beaters are people with self-esteem problems and want their s/o to feel just as low or lower then they feel but that’s just me.

OPPOSITED OF PROUD IS WHAT????

HUMILIATED/EMBARRASSED….SERIOUSLY GTFOH

Why do we have to call each other out of our name if someone did that to us we would lose all respect for them.So if we all claim to be grown folk why don’t we act like it.

How elementary to call someone stupid,simpleton,idiot dummy over their opinion.They have to be very sophomoric individuals.
intensemocha

@ MISSY

I COULD THINK OF A WHOLE LOT WORST TO CALL SOMEONE THAT A SIMPLETON

BUT IF WALKS LIKE A DUCK AND TALKS LIKE A DUCK

IT’S A FRIGGIN DUCK

JUST LIKE HOE IS NOT A NICE WORD EITHER, BUT IF THAT’S THE ACTIVITY YOU GOT GOING ON THEN IT IS WHAT T…I…IS

A HOE

@ Missy

I’m grown, pay my own bills, and love the hell out of myself. & there are certain celeb’s that I admire and can relate to. (Yes MJB) People use the word role model in such a negative way sometime (not u in general). I love to surround myself with people that I can look up to because that helps me to grow. Since birth we grow by watching others and imitating them.

@ E Love what’s a real woman? You all use that term “real” a lot. A huge majority of women are emotional and when your heart is caught up you NEVER know how you will react to a situation until it presents itself. What ever was on that text caused her to react. Had he not lied in the 1st place BOTH their lives would be in a differnt place right now.

@ Missy girl you better check that song out. Its the truth.

@inten… i understand what you are saying but im just saying we don’t need to call each names that’s only going to make a bigger argument.Some people are set in their ways whiles others aren’t.

@Elove no you didn’t say anything to offend me i was metioning it to my comment in this topic which you didn’t understand.
missy

@isc i’ll go on the tube and check it out.

AND WHY DID SHE HIT HIM? WHAT HAPPENED??OH YEAH YOU CONVENIENTLY LEFT OFF THAT PART

HONESTLY-I WON’T HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WITH YOU-YOU ARE ARGUING A MUTE POINT

AND IT’S NOT EVEN REMOTELY ENGAGING TO DISPUTE WITH YOU..

AND I LIKE A GOOD ARGUMENT BUT YOUR “HEAD GAME” IS WEAK
wiggy2272003

Miseducation top ten albums of all time in hip hop NO QUESTION NO ANSWER NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION

Intense I giggled when I read simpleton

Alright E but even the “unreal” ones who may get physcial nine times out ten they are gonna lose which is why it seems so one sided to you. When a partner in a hetero relationship is getting their azz beat nine times out of ten it would be a female. Facts.

I would also venture to say those men in the ground you’re speaking were not innocent DV victims.

@ MISSY

I FEEL YA, WAS THIS SUBTLE ENOUGH??
wiggy2272003

Fly you never fist faught with your brothers or sisters? I know I did my sister banged me over the head with iron and I also got a little scar where she threw a rock at me.
ELove

@iscream
SOMEONE mentioned about HOW one is raised along with their positive (Or rather) their lack of positive role models in their life… REAL Women and Real Men AREN’T born that way, THEY are groomed AND instilled to become that way

Lie-ing about something to someone DOESN’T equate to Beating on them (In My Opinion) BUT I was reared to THINK that way … THAT emotional imbalance isn’t A POSITIVE TRAIT to me !!!

I HAD anger-issues as a child BECAUSE of ALL of the Trifling-AZZ older brothers that were in my life at the time AND My GM along with some of my Uncles & Male family friends help me resolve those issues BEFORE THEY got out of hand WHICH I am forever grateful for
missy

@ iscream- The song is nice

It reminds me of John Legends-used to love you

Yea that’s subtle enough

http://createspace.com/3393054 iscream

@ E Love

As I sit here a 31 year old woman I can say I hope that I wouldn’t allow a man to hurt me to the point that I become that angry. But women are emotional and when you are giving someone your all and have it slapped in your face. Age and not enough experience can cause you so react not so sanely.

We also need to keep in mind that these are celeb’s who basically has everything handed to them. She was considered at the time neck in neck with Queen Bey. So you know her head was big (no pun). So that probably added fuel to the fire… YOU playing ME! Whoop!

@ Missy I agree and I that John L song.

@ Intense. That’s how I remember those words also. One of my favorites was Lost Ones. I always felt that was towards Wyclef bc of all the shyt is was talking about her @ the time.

You might win some but you really lost one. When its all done did you really gain from. What you done done. Its so silly how come. You just lost one.
missy

@wiggy i fought with my siblings(2bros and a twin sis) heck we still argue a little but we still love each other.(i thought everyone fought or argued with their siblings ).

I guess me and Robyn have something in common (except i never hit my siblings in their head with a bottle)
http://oneperfectassistant.com ggouch

Right Missy!!! LOL… you fight your siblings…not try and kill them!!!

@ggouch i know right i never sought out to kill them i just didn’t know how to handle my emotions.

@Mizz

@Ice I feel you but women need to control their emotions if they get caught cheating do they want a man jumping on their azz (in general not Chrianna gate)?? I am 33 and aint neva hit a man and I believe in most cases if a man is caught cheating he will let u get away with a few taps but if you are in a closed space like a car (yes I wished he would have pulled over and gotten out since he supposedly tried to force her out before snapping) that is only going to last for so long. I dont want to get hit by a man so I wont hit a man and yes I have been cheated on and still didnt hit/slap etc. my motto is if you dont want to be with me then take your right and your left and STEP! If you dont want me then dont talk to me go ahead and FREE yourself! Riahnna is young so I will blame it on age but I bet she wont press another man about a text they get

I dont think its ok to co sign on women being emotional so that gives them the right to hit/slap/punch whatever cause again if the woman is caught cheating the man sure as heck cant do the same and get a pass lol speaking of which in Tyler perrys the family that prays when Sanaa character got knocked over the counter WOMEN in the theatre cheered and said about time and I was like really yall think he was right??? Yes she was a BISH but he really just slapped his wife over the counter and I bet them same women are dragging CBs name through the mud. Does he deserve a parade HELL NO he was WRONG but some ppl want to nail him to the cross forever SMH!

“IRREGARDLESS”

mmmkay…this word is not correct. Can people please stop using it. THANK YOU!

Again…team riri…she’s telling the story most of you were waiting to hear and bc it’s not what you wanted or expected to hear you won’t accept.

Bottom line…she was the one with her azz beat that night.

NOT CHRIS BROWN…he is the one on probation. NOT HER!
http://myspace.com/erikamagaly Hermosa

@Daisy

I get what you are saying. And I agree with you…

But even if Rihanna slapped him…he beat her! HE BEAT HER! HE BEAT HER! HE BEAT HER! HE BEAT HER!

how many times do I have to say it?

HE BEAT HER TO A BLOODY PULP!

You can’t use that argument with this situation because he didn’t just slap her around…HE BEAT HER AZZ!
Daisy

Hermosa I see you keep missing that I have said OVER and OVER he beat her he SNAPPED HE WAS WRONG I CANT SAY IT NO OTHER WAY I HAVE SAID IT FROM DAY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even said I wished he would have gotten out the car! I even said I DO NOT BLAME her hell I STANS for her! lol What more am I supposed to say????????????????? I never denied or was in denial about his actions he admitted to them and is getting help.

AND I EVEN SAID NOT CHRIANNAGATE in ()

lots of female sh*t starters. they start young. they get a decent guy and then want to see how far they can go with him. how much the guy will take if he really loves her. they think it’s cute to slap him, especially in front of their friends, because he won’t hit back.

or they hook up with a n*gga that likes to fight and they go at it. sometimes she picks a fight just to make it happen. then f*ck all night. it’s all cool until them lumps start to get bigger. or they get caught such as in rihanna’s case. i mean, they love each other tho.

or they play games with two dudes’ feelings. pitting them against each other to make the men go at it. then laugh because it’s funny and it makes them feel good that two guys would fight for them. and they brag about it to their friends or let their friends be in awe of them and jealous. until one of the guys shoots her f*cking *ss.

just a few scenarios on the opposite side.
