I put it like this, I dont know what the facts are in this case is, no man should ever put their hands on a woman. But theres always 2 sides to the story though, lets not be one sided about the whole situation.

Alot of females think that its ok to hit a man and not face any repercussions, they like to use that to their advantage and easily get away with it. But if a dude lash out even in self defense they turn out to be the bad guy instantly.

But being that we really dont know what the facts are in this situation, it wouldnt be fair to place all of the blame on one person. If everything plays out in the end exactly as the media reported it, i think its real messed up that Rihanna had to be a victim, it looks like dude really lost control and went to the extreme.
I hope that Rihanna makes a quick recovery, and this dude learn from the biggest mistake he couldve made in his entire life. This is going to haunt him forever.

i think it is only fair to remember , we all do things that are wrong .. some things hurt others some hurt ourselves .. knowing this . everyone should stop passing judgment and fix your own lives. Forget cliches and that old " My Momma always said ... " cause trust .. everyone's Momma or Daddy has done dirt of some kind , trust that .. so who are they or any of us to judge . especially when we DO NOT HAVE ALL THE FACTS !!! Turn the situation around ?? would you want a half reported story to be your undoing ??? Stop destroying Celebrity ...we all f up .

Listen I understand that these alligations are serious, but one thing we all should know by now is that it is the medias job to embellish. None of us knows the real story unless you were there. Also I think it is a bit much to band his music, now... the actions of the sponsors is a little different because it is advertising and face association & image of there product.But if he makes good music why wouldnt you play it.

WE SHOULD PRAY FOR THEM. AND ASK GOD TO NOT LET THIS "MOMENT" DEFINE THEM...AS WE READ ARTICLE THAT ARE LAYER WITH INUENDO AND SPECULATION LESS AT THE END ASK GOD FOR WISDOM FOR THE BOTH OF THEM.

WOW...i been keeping up with this story because i wanna kno what really happened everybody is jumping to conclusions and no one really knows, it doesnt justify him hitting her but at least let him tell his story before ppl choose sides...in the end i dont think any one will know the ACTUAL TRUTH except Chris and Rhianna, but he hasnt lost me as a fan!

I was taught that a man should never hit a woman but don't be the woman who thinks a man won't hit you. Don't know what happened between them, but to all the women who read this, fighting with your man isn't cool at all. Couples need to learn to fight fair. Stop trying to get a psyco reaction out of eachother and then act shocked when things get out of hand. Domestic violence is never okay no matter if it's one way or a fight. We have to learn to practice self control people!

This is a very sad case that we know abosolutely nothing about. We will have to wait until ALL the facts have been revealed. No on deserves to be hit male or female. No one has the right to put their hands on the other. Age has nothing to do with this and neither does geography. When the facts are revealed, we still have no business in THEIR business!.

A few years ago a fella got so enraged with his girlfriend that he killed her and set their apartment on fire. NO one saw it coming. They were so much in love. This is a scene played out daily at least twenty times in every court house in America. Men have no business beating women period. There is no excuse, no justifiable situation, no lets see how it plays out.. People get real. This man hit a woman and he should pay the price. Loss of money and public denunciation. That is what fits the crime.

Two kids fighting, she lost. The End. Stop trying to make this about dosmetic violence, and more than what it really is. He's NOT O.J. and She ain't Nicole. And God is not vengeful some on this board need to take lessons. God forgave him soon as he asked, it's man with the issues always want somebody to pay with their life for everything. Ruin him, you say, WHY because he made a mistake? Dont forget people he is a kid what if he was your son?

Now he wants to seek counseling and God he should have thought about that before he did that he should have looked to God in that split second that he choose to do what he did yeah now that his endorsments are pulling out.I love Chris Brown but once a woman beater always a woman beater.

”Pu**y” or finding another woman's or man's number in a jean pocket, cell phone, email, bag has nothing to do with assaulting YOUR WOMAN PERIOD!!!



My father (rest his soul) told me a very longtime ago “if you ever think you need to put your hands on a woman, you don’t deserve her”. We can only assume how the dynamics of their relationship work. However if this is the 1st time he or she deserves everything he or she receives from this point on (loss of endorsements, public ridicule, court mandated counseling, probation) It will all play out in a few weeks, or month's.



If she felt that this last episode of his uncontrollable behavior was her breaking point, you have to ask why wait so long. If this was the first occurrence I’m glad she put a stop to it, before it became a normal behavior for their relationship that could have ended with a different scenario.



To the people who surround them on a daily basis, if they witnessed this type of behavior from either of them in the past they are just as much to blame for allowing it to progress!



Domestic violence either physical or physiological is one of the leading causes of a one parent household, that many of us raise from. I’m almost appalled at the amount of attention this celebrity couple is getting, while the average woman (your mother, co-worker, aunt, cousin, or girlfriend) continues to be victimized on a daily basis without anytype of exposure and not enough people they can count on to help them get out of the situation.



At what point will we put as much energy into helping these women, instead of commenting about this couple?

man chris chris chris I got anger problems but dang dogg putting your hands on a female man that's like camitting murder now and day's but hope you bounce back from it in this counsalin

This young man needs to seek professional counseling, not just the counsel of his pastor. If not this could come back to bite him in the butt years down the road.



How you deal with issues’ now, can be an indication how you will deal with issues in the future.

My prayers goes out to both Chris and Rihanna: They were to young to be in committed relationship. Any man in entertainment business will tell you it very hard to stay committed to there women, when their are women out there tossing pu**y in your face on daily bases. If Chris felt he wanted to explore other option he should have told Rihanna the truth,I respect any man that is brave enough to give his lady the option to stay around why he cheats.But what men do is put you on hold why he test the water just in case the P***y bad then he want you to stay loyal and in place just in case he was not satisfied. Men are so afraid to tell the truth so he cheats. All men from the age 15 or 30 are P***y Happy and in no way really looking for wife or wifey. Very few men get marriage for love between the age of 19 to 27 for love, it always a situation that occur that send them to altar like Baby Mom, so they feel the need to do right thing and end up up happy. There is no ownership relationship, people get the two confuse. My mom told me years ago about a men she stated to me from Pu**y they come From, he Pu**y a man will spend the rest of there life trying to get back in search of that warm feeling he felt in side his mother womb for nine months. It just something about the PU**Y that got a hold on man. Makes them do crazy thing like What Chris did when Rihanna forbid him from exploring another women Pu**y. Women and Men both need to realize relationship is not ownership. Commitment is marriage not relationship I believe that in a relationship we both should have the option to Cheat the game should not just be one side for the men. I tell all men I date I'm only committed to god,so please don't get upset when you see me on another date it does mean I'm cheating it means I'm still looking, just like you are for my soul-mate. Now If I Respect him as a person then I CHOSE not DATE other men. I have watch so many of my friend in committed relationship end up in heartbreak. Because they got relationship confused with marriage that means commitment and ownership to one another. Relationship should be fun,caring,joy not pain.I was raised by 5 brother and they all taught me the really game about men and how they think and feel. People should learn how to tell the truth whether you think it would hurt that other person you love are not. If Chris would have told Rihanna I got date,sh*t not working out all this could have been avoided. Now it may cost him his life in free world.
Men need to learn how to man-up and take the risk of losing their women if they want to cheat and be committed relationship. Your twenty should be the best part of your life enjoy it, explore different people ,learn from others,and love yourself first before you attempt to love another person.

**** FOR CHRIS ******

CHRIS-

Of course, we don't have all the details and really don't know what truly happened. However, whatever you do, please handle this situation showing your true emotions(hopefully very sorry, if you did something wrong that is). Be honest with yourself and your fans about the situation. Take full responsibility for all your actions. If you did something wrong, don't seek to get out of it, with a little "pop" on the hand. You know that anytime you do something wrong (not saying you did), you have to earn trust and respect again. Also, don't look at this as such a horrible situation (don't get me wrong, from what it sounds like, it could be a bad one), but look at it as an opportunity for you to handle and improve some issues that may be deeper than the fans and some friends understand. Don't get too down about the business opportunities that were cancelled because of this mishap. If you handle this situation from your heart, I believe you will regain everything and more in the end. But for now, look at the bigger picture, you can now work on properly handling and conquering the inner issues that may have caused you to lose control (if that happened). As someone old enough to be your mother, I just want you to sincerely conquer the inner elements that may have caused you to get pissed off and angry. When you do this, you will enter a better place. A place of peace. I believe you will then fully regain respect as a person from the fans, haters, media and etc. . When you can, please come forward, apologize (if necessary) and talk about this situation. This could be very therapeutic for you. I understand for legal reasons you can't talk, but hopefully your team will know that avoidance is EXTREMELY horrible for you and this journey. I will close here. I know my comment was long. But there are three things I want you to remember. 1). PLEASE HANDLE THIS SITUATION FROM YOUR HEART/SPIRIT and I PROMISE YOU WILL BE BETTER. 2). TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME. 3). YOU and RIHANNA WILL NOT MAKE IT IN THE LONG RUN. MOVE AWAY FROM THAT RELATIONSHIP SOON (TRUST ME ON THIS ONE).

Blessings,

From Britt & Lexie's Mom in North Carolina. Concerned fans.
