According to Entertainment Weekly, People magazine, and several other media, while inside a vehicle Chris and Rihanna began to argue over a series of text messages Rihanna found in Chris phone, alleging that he was cheating. The going story [now that all most of the details have been revealed one way or another] is that Rihanna spat on Chris, and at one point took off her stiletto heel and proceeded to hit him in the face. Afterwards a violent FIGHT ensued. Chris was said to have even pushed her head into the window at some point and held it there. SInce this time Chris has been ordered to pay a hefty fine, and has been sentenced to several thousand hours of community service. Chris has also been banned from radioplay at several stations, and Walmart has also refused to sell his music. Even B.E.T. barred him from performing at Michael Jackson's tribute ceremony, though Jackson's family requested Chris specifically as "what Michael would've wanted." Rihanna has done a "tell-all" interview with Diane Sawyer where she talked in depth about how she feared for her life and has since sky-rocketed to an even higher level of fame.
#Now, there's the back-story. Here's what I would like to know.
~~Doesn't it take two people to have a FIGHT? Why is it only Chris Brown that seems to be being punished? Is Chris Brown the first[or even the thousandth] celebrity to do something thats considered criminal? Or is it the fact that he had a "squeaky clean image" to begin with that he's not allowed to make mistakes? Should he have been a "thug" from the beginning, would that be more acceptable? Why is is that Black Entertainment Television is turning its back on one youth involved in the situation but not the other? Was is just more convenient to take the side of the female?
~~I would ask Rihanna.....If you feared for your life and Chris suddenly "had no soul" why did you stay with him the rest of the night and the following weeks? Had you perpetrated acts of violence toward him in other arguments before? Don't you have domestic violence on your record? Your image is somewhat gothic and rock driven so why is it that on the interview with Diane Sawyer you died your hair blonde, and completely changed your style, no dark makeup, no tattoos showing, nothing?
~~I would ask Chris Brown.....Why are you not defending yourself? On your MTV interview you offered no explanation other than anger, why? Had you all been in altercations before? Why are you not defending yourself? Why are you not defending yourself? Why didn't you speak out when BET refused to honor Michael Jackson's family's request?
This is not a turn your other cheek type of event, Chris has been branded as a violent abuser and Rihanna, has become a huge, huge star. In his interview, he wore RED, a low lying skullcap, and offered limited explanation, basically not refuting one single detail of the story we've heard. Chris. FIRE YOUR PUBLICIST. Even on the Larry King show, Chris' mother said she still loves Rihanna and considers her a daughter. No one is standing up for Chris. Rihanna has a song on her CD way before this incident entitled "IMA FIGHT A MAN TONIGHT" why has no one mentioned that? She's a dark individual. Her newest Cd boasts lyrics such as "I lick the gun when im done/cuz i know that revenge is sweet." Another track talks about burning her lovers car and breaking the windshield. Can we say deranged?
Not to sound cliche but everyone does make mistakes and the results of this situation are beyond unfair. The sponsors, networks, and stations are sending the message that when two young people get into a fight and one of them is a man, the woman deserves to go on with her life as usual, and the man does not. Why doesn't Chris deserve to be a star any more? He's still a talented and promising young man. He has been to anger management and served extensive community service, why is he still being punished? If we are going to ban the music of celebrities in legal trouble, i fear the airways would be very empty, at the very least, extremely different. Chris has recently spoken out about his music not being played on the radio and made a plea for fans to bombard stations with requests. But is it too little too late?
This is my take on the situation but what do i know; I'M JUST THE WOMAN ASKING QUESTIONS.
