*yawn still draggin this on i c…she needs to just get over herself and sit down somewhere. its been what…a month?

i think everyone need to leave them be as a women who has been in her shoes. he is a young man who can learn from what he did he is young enough to know or even change the way he acts. I use to love Jay-z Bot anymore i hate listenin to his music because of what he said i know RI aint innoccent whether she gone be honest and say it or not. Leave Chris alone he can change because he is young he aint as old as r kelly cause we aint do nothing r kelly wrote a song about the young girl he was wit but we all still loved him

ok rihanna damn..you done f**ked up the mans career..tryna make him look like a punk ass boi n s**t…HE DONT OWE U S**T! if i was chris id say kiss my dick n keep it movin and take wateva the law hand to him like an adult.as far as their relationship..i mean really is it worth it….she gettin out of line…she wouldnt have eva got her ass beat from jump if she wasnt actin like the typical female…she thought she had it like dat to jus go through the phone n he put her ass in her place…ok?..i dont condone wat he did but its hard to be on her side wit all this foolishness goin on…the f**kery has got to stop rih…damn!

This is pure bulls**t. Why should he have to apologize to you on national television. This is just childish why does everyone need to be involved in your relationship and the transgressions that went on within it. That is problem now your relationship was so how profile he should apologize to you in private or by letter. The only people he should apologize to in public are his family that he embarrassed and bought shame upon and his fans and the children who look up to him and respect him because he let them down that’s it. Seems like you want to drag this out to stay in the public eye yes everyone needs to be aware of domestic violence but you seem to be abusing the platform. Deal with the apologies in private and move on with your life.

point blank period they should just let it go and leave each other alone because they are hurting they’re carrers if they keep it going back and forth really they are still somewhat considerbly roles model to these young folks who look up to them and in the end they do have to set an example…….

HELL NAW! YOU NEED TO CATCH “HO-PRAH” AND C.B. HER ASS TO JUS FOR KEEPIN THIS STUPID ISSUE GOING!

YALL GONE KEEP ON…AND C.B. GONNA COME ON THAT SHOW WIT AN AK 47 AND APOLOGIZE WIT THAT! LEAVE THAT DUDE ALONE! IM WARNIN YA! LET THAT CAT GO BACK TO “CRUMP DANCIN” PLEASE! ITS MORE FISH IN THE SEA!

I cannt believe how ignorant some women are. Let’s just keep making it alright for boys to hit on girls and men to hit on women. Chris SHOULD be humiliated, and made to bend over backwards in an attempt to make it alright for her. He beat the crap out of her, which resulted in her own pain and humiliation! And it’s still going on a month later! I wish my son would put his hands on a woman, I will whoop his a*# my damn self! They are both stupid, him for hitting her and her for even considering being back with him. I am disappointed at Chris, and ashamed of Rhianna. What these children (Chris and Rhianna) need to be thinking about is themselves and their careers… and be done with each other. And what these silly women who seem to be supporting men beating women need to be thinking about is seeing a psychiatrist… It…..not….OK….. Geez!

CHILD BOO!!! SIT HER LIL STIFF ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE…WILL AN APOLOGY ON OPRAH SAVE HIS REP???I DONT THINK SO…WHATS THE F**KIN POINT RI RI HUH???? HE WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT AND IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO GAIN RESPECT BACK..TO ME THATS PUNISHMENT ENUFF!! IF U GOTTA SNOOP THRU ANYBODY’S PHONE,THEN U DONT NEED TO BE WITH THAT PERSON…HELLO HELLO!!!

that is dumb to go on oprah

I agree they just need to leave each other alone. C.B. need to go chill for a min and work on himself get some counseling or whatever and like gtown said get back to dancing and making music. There has been far worse things to happen with stars before this he will still be able to redeem himself its just gonna take a little time for this wound to heal with the people. But they do need to just chill and leave that dude alone..real talk

C.B. YOU’ER A HERO TO ME! MABEY ITS A GOOD THANG YOURE OUT! YOU GOT MONEY…WHICH AINT GONE BE WORTH SHYT IN A LIL BIT ANYWAYS! RETIRE AND SETTLE DOWN! NOT WIT RHIANNA THE BOULE’ S**T! HERPES IS A HELLUVA DISEASE!

Its funny how everybody comments like they were actually there and know exactly what happened between the both of them. And to the silly women thinking its alright for men to hit them comment..no its not alright for ANYONE to put their hands on ANYONE. Women need to quit playin the victim especially when they the ones in the wrong punching their man and when the dude gets fed up and defends himself its a big deal. Take responsibility for your actions. Now noone said a push or a slap yields a punch in the face. But dont step up like you want some and then go crying to everybody how he did the same s**t you were doing to him. -anjelica a. (not lilboyb)

And why everybody actin like this is the first case of domestic violence(if you call it that) especially between celebrities..This aint the first and its not the last. But now that its cb and rhianna everybody want to ‘take a stand’ PLEASE

its always the ones who r single that want to tell the next chic what to do… how bout all you beastly females shut up… oprah is one of em… i admire her success but her logic is baffling… Rihanna is a fool for listening to anyone and a nut for not leaving if it happened before… but females stop playing on the “guys don’t hit girls” issue, cause you are the ones thinking you are invincible and can be wreckless… isn’t it amazing what a difference a pair of hands around your neck make when it comes to your boldness??? stop provoking guys and no i dont’ support what happened, but a lot of the opinions flying around on this issue are absurd.

LOL @ lil_boy_b1 SO TRUE!

Who and the hell made Oprah the Black confessional? Has she explained why she has not married? She slowly gone back to her male bashing way like before. Not one mention of the NFL player stabbed by his girlfriend, Not now mention of the man handcuffed while sleep by his girlfriend and bitten. Oprah is a sexist femmist female Sow. Has been and always will be. No do not go. I’d rather see it on 60 min on anybody else show then hers. Really it’s between the two of you and God. What knucklehead publicist thought this up.

This is really retarded. Domestic violence occurs everyday. Why don’t they focus on those people that probably needs more help than Chris and Rihanna. Chris and Rihanna needs to move the f**k on. It’s never going to workout between them. Chris will beat her ass up again. Don’t get me wrong. I love Rihanna. She’s so gorgeous, but them being all over the media is irritating.

Thats just dumb, what will that prove

i still wanna know wat she did 2 him to piss him off dat much?! i honestly do blame her 4 what happened on dat night and i dont think he should apologize for anything on any show esp about they personal relationships. yea he f**ked up but if he wanna do right he will… personally she da dumb one cuz she stayed after da first time he hit her hell if a man hit me we would be scrappin and i would b thrown in jail 4 tryin 2 kill em

Oprah needs to stop making a fool of herself. Everyone can see through her underlying motives as male bashing. No one who isn’t in a relationship and can’t get into one should consider giving advice to couples. She is indeed finacially successful but in contrast there are various levels of success. Even that of a person being gutter poor but happier than all the riches people combine who are just empty on the inside.

Chris Brown knew hitting her was wrong, he evidently was not thinking of what he had at risk to have done what he did but he is also, 20yrs, I believe and has faced that with his step-Father beating his Mother so to always say “this motherfcker” about him all of the time…the kid is a kid — one that needs counseling. Not a public humiliation any further than he has already gotten it. His actions already have consequences.

And Oprah will expose him harshly just for her viewers because most of the world seem to want that kid to suffer the way a grown man who should know better but continuously beats his woman should suffer. He just needs some counseling — he is losing enough and he will lose more.

As far as Rhianna…if the girl didn’t feel comfortable hurting him from the get go when she fetl she had to look through his phone then what is a public apology on Oprah going to do? I suppose it would be more heartfelt if he had offered to do it but…I don’t know if she is NOW looking to hurt him as much as possible…but I believe so. SO many young women just LOVE to go that route.

Like MissLuv said, when you feel like you have to go through a man’s phone – you don’t trust him and that is when you need to take a look at yourself.

She is just angered …or something. Young people these days.

And Oprah — I mean…is she the confessional now???? SMDH…I would hope she’d impart ADVICE and not try to make that kind of a show seem like an exploitation of the situation. What is Rhianna thinking! SMDH…

What she did to piss him off that much BabyHugs7? No matter what she did, he should never have put his hands on her. If she hit him first, he should have defended himself, held her so she could not hit him, but definitely not beat the s**t out of her. Thats just ignorant. Just like sayin its a woman’s fault she got raped because we ask “what was she wearin”? No matter what she was wearin, it doesnt give anyone the right to rape her. Remember who the victim is and dont try to turn it around. How would u feel is someone said that about u or someone said u deserved to be raped because u were grindin up on some guy at the club then he raped u? I am not talkin about Chris and Rihanna here, just the whole topic in general. Think about that.

really reallly really retarded!

i agree. what the eff did Rhianna do to cause Chris Brown to go off like he did? Make that an Oprah topic and I guarantee that is is a typical but unfortunate situation that a lot of couples deal with. I don’t condone Chris Brown for what he did, but there are two sides to every story. And I’m just about tired of hearing everyone crying about poor Rhi-Rhi. I have as well as everyone else have seen situations where the man goes off and hits a woman and is branded evil. But what happens when a woman entices a situation or even, hits a man? Its not spoken on, its not talked about. and the messed up thing is that someone is making a boatload of money off of this expense.

im not sayin that he should have hit her but i dont think that cb would jus hit her if there wasnt a given reason to snap out like dat. they shouldnt have been togetha from da gate if she didnt trust em.

Some people need to be in abusive relationships, let the girl do what she wants, I know plenty of females that just aint right unless her man goes upside her head a few times! I’m not in any way approving the behavior, but I do believe there are 2 sides to every story, and I do not believe for one minute she is innocent! Also If your big enough to hit a man, be prepared to get hit back!!!

Chris apologize to her in your own way. If you go to Oprah you will be apologizing to all Women. You just hit one not all. They trying to make you the new Ike Turner. 1 ass whopping doesn’t compare to a life time off handing them out.

THIS JUST PROVES HOW MESSY SHE REALLY IS, IF SHE DOES OR DOES NOT WANT HIM BACK, HOW ON EARTH WOULD GOING ON OPRAH BE THE DECIDING FACTOR? SHE IS JUST TRYING TO FURTHER EMBARRASS HIM……. I SOO HOPE HE DOES NOT DO IT! STAY STRONG CHRIS!!!

If I was Chris Brown I would say no! Telling Rhianna she’s sorry and going to therapy should be enough. I’m not saying what Chris did was right, but we all have had “puppy fights” with our boyfriends, get back together, then have great sex. This should be private between the two of them, and not the world.

He apologize already!! Let it go 4real! He learned his lesson,he paid his debt to society…well not really,but still,he young,they young,dis s**t is old,Oprah needs to get a life.She tryna find s**t to boost her ratings.Dont try to make him apologize to the world,he apologize to her already…how many times do he gotta say it? I feel like even though Rihanna is the one got abused and all,Chris Brown is hurting more than anyone.He been put thru too much s**t…Let it go and let him go on with his life.

tan32tan STFU. If your son was being stabbed and he chin checked that ho in self defense, you would beat his ass for not being stabbed to death? Pffft. Not a fan of Chris Brown but he don’t need to go on no Oprah, and matter of fact hasn’t he already apologized. Why the hell he need to apologize to all women, did Left Eye (RIP) go on Oprah and apologize for burning down Rison’s house which he could of been in and been killed. NO. The sad fact is that all women think they have the right to go through email and cell phones looking, and most of them doing dirt anywayz. I am pretty sure there was more than just going through the cell phone that made chris snap, but of course a woman is not going to own up to what she did when she know she is in the wrong, and I highly doubt Brown hauled off and hit her over words spoken. The only reason for Brown to go on the show is to get his side of the story out, but because he ran (like fool) and didn’t say s**t for like 3 days it will fall on deaf ears and most of those will be female deaf ears. Shday females stop exploiting the f**ked up system with your oh i can do what i want cuz if u touch me me I’ll do what ever it takes to see a man fall s**t. Now there are some woman beaters out there who are in the wrong, but when a woman is stepping up and laying hands on a man they should not get special treatment from the law or society becuz they have a cooch.

This so childish and immature,Chris apologizing to Rihanna on Oprah,What he did was wrong but Rihanna needs to learn how to be a woman first and keep her personal business away from the world sounds like to me she still thinks like a teenage girl.

Oh please…i’m so over these two.

Oooh ok… so the world must know that Chris Brown is sorry for Rihanna to believe that he is actually sorry???
If you can’t accept sorry the first hundred times that it is said when you come back to the person then your mind is already made up. Chris Brown has paid a detriment to society by doing it in the first place… only dumb females are gonna try to take on a man who has already beat up a woman publicly, which means it would be NOTHING for him to beat a woman up behind closed doors. Yes, people can be forgiven for inflicting abuse and violence on one another but, in reestablishing such a person into that predominant position without therapy or just taking a break from it all to reflect upon themselves and the way they treat others makes the whole issue and drama behind Chris Brown and Rihanna so big and so stupid… WHY? cus neither really took the time off from each other as the drama has poured into the media… all i have to say is sucks to be them..

#1 bottom line Chris shouldn’t do it. #2 you don’t chase them you replace them. #3 Chris already apologized and #4 you should never take advise from a person that doesn’t have their own relationship together. how Oprah has been with steadman and still not married. Oprah needs advise on how to stop him from extorting her stupid ass. tell her to put that on her show.

tan32tan. I think you are delusional. What advise do you give to your son if a woman were to hit him? Stand there and take it? That breeds craziness.

Apologizing is NOT going to make one difference for that young boy. He will be beating on her or another woman in his future. yeah, the young lady needs to learn how to Stand Up like so many of these Self Proclaimed “Strong Black Women” and conduct herself like a woman and move on. Oprah is a good person, but what does she really know about relationships? Her example of a relationship is ‘moot.’ What is really shocking about this circus is the way MOST BLACK WOMEN ARE AT THE DEFENSE OF CHRIS BROWN. THE ‘BEAT UP ON A CHICK’ TYPE GUYS ARE ALSO AT THE DEFENSE OF CHRIS BROWN TOO!! IT’S A SORRY DAY TO SEE BLACK WOMEN MAINLY, LOST IN A WORLD OF VANITY AND CATTY NONSENSE, INSTEAD OF COMING TO THE AID OF A SISTER, THEY’D RATHER HEAR THE WOMAN BEATER SING. I GUESS IT WOULD BE ALL GOOD TO HAVE A MAN, BITE, KICK, SLAP, AND PUNCH YOU, JUST AS LONG AS YOU HIT HIM FIRST?

WHAT KIND OF PARENTS OR UP BRINGING THAT IS STABLE WOULD TWIST YOUR MINDS TO CONDONE THAT TYPE OF BEHAVIOR?

IS THIS WHAT SOME OF YOU PARENTS ARE TEACHING YOUR KIDS WHEN THEY SQUABBLE?

SAD & DISTURBING

If she is going to be with him go ahead and be with him she shouldnt have to justify to the world that he is a changed man because that makes it seem like she doesnt believe so herself. There are so many “normal people” going through many of the same if not worse situations as that but we arent talkin about them we talk about the “famous chris and rihanna” lets focus on our communities and all the battered wives with kids byt hese men who are getting beat and even the men out there that are getting beat by there wives and help them out and leave these 2 alone.

gettin on oprah and doing this is not the thing,,hasnt he already apologized for this? he shouldnt have to defend himself to the world…neither of us was there and do not know exactly wat happened..no im not saying wat he did or didnt do was right…all i know is that i wasnt there so he doesnt have to prove anything to anyone on tv. sounds like to me Rhianna isnt too sure herself on wat she wants to do.

No disrespect to Oprah but shackin with Moochin Steadman doesn’t qualify her as a relationship expert or an expert of judging character she has already had people come on her own show and scam and lie to her face on national television

Who in the blue hell cares! This issue has been going on long before this incident and no one had anything to say. I find it funny that issues don’t become major unless it happens to celebs. Here’s the bottom line: Chris shouldn’t have hit rihana and rihana shouldn’t have provoked the attack. This country is in a recession and yet all ppl seem to talk about is an issue that should have been addressed yrs ago. All I have to say is I’ve heard of plenty of ppl in these situations, some are in my family. No one addressed the issue. Neither chris nor rihana are different. This issue should have been delt with and over with and never should of gotten as far as it has.

I JUST CANT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND HOW EVERYONE IS SAYING HOW WRONG CHRIS IS AND POOR RIHANNA WHEN NOONE HAS ONCE HEARD THE TRUE STORY EVERYONE IS SO QUICK TO JUDGE CHRIS AND INCASE YOU ALL HAVE FORGOTTEN CHRIS IS A 19YR. OLD BOY WHO OBVIOUSLY NEEDS SOME HELP IF HE DID DO WHAT HE HAS BEEN ALEGEDLY CHARGED WITH ALSO RIHANNA HAS YET TO FILE CHARGES FROM WHAT I HEAR SO HOW DO ANY OF YOU KNOW THE WHOLE STORY AND IM A MOTHER OF A SON AND YES I TAUGHT MY SON THAT IF SOMEONE HITS HIM MALE OR FEMALE TO HIT THEM BACK ITS CRAZY FOR A MOTHER TO TEACH HER SON THAT IF A GIRL HITS YOU DONT HIT HER BACK BUT IF A BOY HITS YOU , YOU BETTER KNOCK HIM OUT WELL THESE FEMALES NEED TO THINK BEFORE THEY GO PUTTING THEYRE HANDS ON THESE MEN AS WELL BECAUSE A PERSON CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH EVEN IF HIS MOM DID TEACH HIM TO NOT HIT GIRLS!!! AND ALSO I BELEIVE IF SHE LOVES HIM AND THEY CAN WORK IT OUT THEN YES ITS OK FOR HER TO TAKE HIM BACK BUT THEY BOTH NEED TO SEEK SOME TYPE OF THERAPY SO THAT THEY CAN LEARN TO NOT HAVE VIOLENCE IN THEYRE RELATIONSHIP. BUT I THINK THAT AT THE YOUNG AGES THEY ARE THEY CAN ALWAYS TAKE A BREAK AND GET TO KNOW AND LOVE THEMSELVES BECAUSE THERE IS A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE OBVIOUSLY AND WE THE FANS SHOULDNT JUDGE EITHER OF THEM WE SHOULD SUPPORT BOTH OF THEM AND PRAY THAT EVRYTHING GETS RIGHT !!! I LOVE YOU RIH RIH AND CHRIS NO MATTER WHAT THE OUTCOME!

That is absolutely ridiculous for Chris Brown to even consider. Ms. Winfrey has always been one-sided when it comes to Black males and Black females to just plain being narcissitic in thought.

Vilification of this young Black man needs to stop and sistas – sadly need to stop the hypocrisy and keep their hands to themselves as well.

For all of those that make the ludicrous statement that a man should not hit a woman ever… continue reading below:

Again, females are police officers, SBI/FBI/Secret Service Agents, officers in every aspect and all branches of the military etc… Women can’t scream don’t hit on a female and demand equality at the same time.

I don’t view Chris Brown as an Abuser>..I view them as being in a fight. Example: If Rihanna was dating Queen Latifah and the same scenario occurred w/Rihanna going thru QL’s phone finding out she was engaging in conversation and they went at it – would we still be having this conversation? Obviously Queen is much larger and more forceful and should just let Rihanna have her way verbally and physically right? Poposterous and Idiotic to say the least.

Dee W.

Well chris and rhianna are grown, so if he whoops her ass again the only thing I have to say is “once a woman beater, always a woman beater”. They both need some serious counseling. And to think about if that is the type of relationship they really want. Plus everyone is all in there buisness now, why not just move on because no matter what people are going to be talking about them.

they shuldd leave them alone n let dem handle dey buis thatsz rhianna if she wanna b wit chris so b it let them liveder life n yall liv yursz

Can this bullish get more bizarre? I am starting to think that Rihanna deserves no better, this is poor, really poor. I used to have alot of respect for that woman but it is slowly dying. She seems to be one big Miss Drama queen, thats all.

why is yall worried abhout chris and rihanna they ghot a lhot of prhoblems in dey life them were dey at i dhont see yahll talkin bhout any otha ahbusive relhationships like bhack in da day soh leave dem be if he wants to go on oprah and thell her hes sorry soh and if he dhont then forget it bhut ahll doh respect chris brown and rihanna are muh favorite singer and i sthill luhve dem reguardless to the fact okhay soh dhats ahll i ghot tweh say

It’s all about ratings “Oprah’s ratings”. Do you all know how many viewers she would have tuned in to see that? She put them up to this madness, she’s going to far thinking she’s “BIG SISTER”. Trurh is they can apologize in private. Chris will never live it down, but the money he recieves might be worth it to him.

If I slap my ole’ lady I wonder if Oprah will have me on her show?? No disrespect… I was just wondering..

the publicity stunt continues

I heard she hit him first and went through his phone. I seriously don’t condone what he did but keep your hands off other people. My wife punched and kicked me but never in the face. I shook her and pushed back but never beat her down. Rhiana’s face looked like she got a good beating. It doesn’t matter if he was drunk or not you do it once you will do it again. It’s also cheesy about an apology she must have had a spike in record sales and going on Oprah will probably get her more.

She got some nerve. She was at fault as well, is she going to apologize to him as well? She messed up this boys life because of her jealousy. I’m not saying he was right for hitting her but damn she ruined his career. What more does she want from this young man.

What more does she want?And Oprah has talked so much s**t on Chris that idk how he would even go on her show & appologize.That should be in the privacy of their own home.He doesn’t have to prove anything to her on national television,it’s ridiculous!She needs to appologize for her wrong doings as well if he plans to do it.
I think all this appearing on Oprah is to a boost in her sales & 2 get people on her side.Publicity stunt…don’t buy into it.

Gimme a break! She didn’t ruin his career. Yeah, she was wrong for hitting him first, but she’s a young woman who went into one of those jealous fits. His young azz didn’t have the tools to handle the situation. He needed to just walk away. He should’ve pulled the car over, taken the keys himself and taken a walk. It’s too bad he doesn’t have some mentor or someone to help him deal with these kinds of situations. But he’s the one responsible for his own actions. Attention, gentlemen: YOU CAN’T BEAT THE SHYT OUT OF YOUR GIRLFRIEND, THEN LEAVE HER ON ALONE ON THE STREET AT NIGHT…..DERRRRR!!

WFT is up with you young ‘women’ on this site who want to stand up for what CB did??? Will somebody explain this to me?

bklildramma i hear you ma, but lets keep it 100 he could of handled that better even if she is in the wrong ole boy like 6’3 solid he could hold her lil azz down with one hand. he did that cuz he though he would get away with it and it came and bit him square in the azz. now if he want to revive his career he should go on oprah and cry like a biznitch is front of the world and beg for her forgiveness to win the trust of his fans.

I feel wat Princess_lala01 is saying all the way

see man most of yall females on here defending chris brown cause yall love him i mean just keep it 100. now what is that crap happen to your moms or your daughter? if that happen to my daughter chris brown would have got his wig rotated counter clockwise cause to me when a dude beat a woman like he beat her that mean he a spoiled p***y that cant fight a real man. i know its dudes in the entertainment world want to get a dude now cause they prolly think he cant scrap for 1 so dont be shocked if some 1 walk off in chris grill.

We sedn a dangerous message to young women and men if we crucify Chris without blaming Ri if she started the fight. he may never have had to deal with it in hislifetime IF he never dated a violent female.

I got a friend with a razor scar on his hand from an “emotional” woman.

BP, YOU SUCK! YALL DONT TALK ABOUT WHAT REALLY MATTERS! HOW ABOUT THE “GIVE ACT”? OR “CHEM TRAILS”! OR HOW B.E.T. IS DESTROYING OUR RACE! AT LEAST TALK ABOUT HOW PINOCCHI-OBAMA IS GONNA USE THE REMAINS OF ABORTED BABIES TO GET RICH OFF OF BY PUTTING IT IN MEDICINES!…HUH…..REALLY?…SO YALL ARE DOWN WIT THE ILLUMINATI HUH? YEAH I ALREDI KNEW THAT!

She already took his ass back. Both they asses need to get off the publicity w**ring and move on.

So If my woman grabs my balls and I beat her off me then I should go to prison?

None of us knows what really happened and the verdict is still out on this matter. I think this should have been less public and more private because the incident has on a daily to the not so famous. However there are many men unjustly accused by scorned women and doing time just as there are many women that the courts have failed to save. There is no justice in the injustice. For Chris to have to apologize to Rhi on national TV is just a farce, a way to boost ratings and records sales, I say enough of this, both do some therapy and grow up. The odd thing is that M.J. and R. Kelley can do the “kid” thing and not lose endorsements. How peculiar is that, no justice, slap a women or mess with kids, which one is more wrong?

What really happened ? We will never know. Due to all the T.V. coverage on the domestic abuse issue, will help many victims that are currently in this position. There are so many victims that are on a Co-dependency high and until they get a ” hit” from professional help, will continue this cycle of abuse over and over again. “it is over, they should just go on with there lives and call it a day” !

I am tired of hearing about this for real! She want what? That alone lets me know that their is more to this story then what is being let out to us. She playing the victim but geeting rich off of it at the same time…..Juanite Bynum ring a bell! She is trying to take Chris career down to the toliet cause she could not control him and that is what nobody seems to notice. This sounds like that Martin Lawrence movies “It’s a Thin Like Between Love and Hate” If she can’t have him the way she wants him then she will take him down tothe gutter. Who know if there was even really a text message?

i’m tired of hearing about it my damn self. women get beat on eereyday by men and where is their 15 minutes of fame. people reporting on this issue a month after it happened really should find something else to report because NO ONE CARES!!!!!!!!

OH YEAH OPRAH NEEDS TO MIND HER OWN BUSINESS TOO! THATS WHY STEDMAN AINT MARRIED HER FAT ASS.

That boy better not go on national tv and apologize because if Rhianna really DID do something she is making him look like an abuser. They got into a fight but something about the story does not add up. I’m thinking that she hit him first. He didn’t have to whup her the way he did but I guess when you get pushed to a certain point you go all out. No one should put their hands on anyone. A lot of female will go off on a dude just because she knows the dude will get in trouble when he hits her back. This s**t happens everyday its nothing new. But going on Oprah is going to do nothing but make Chris look badddddd if you watch Oprah you all know how she stretches things. I just hope he doesn’t go.

If she goin to take him back then she need to just do it i bet he would hit her again just for embarassing him and even if he do say sorry that aint goin to help the fact that he hit her this is some stupid crap they need to try and help people who acutally get killed and stuff by abuse instead of encouraging this stupid mess

Somebody gassed her up big time.

IF I WERE CHRIS, I’D GO ON THE “OPRAH” SHOW AND REQUEST THAT BOTH RIHANNA, AND OPRAH KISS MY ASS ON THAT COUCH.

Chris brown and Rhiana are like nobodies…2 Damn CHILDREN….Nobody cried when Whitney and Bobby faught all the time..I dont remember this constant media even when Mike tyson supposedly beat robin givens..it was in the news but come on

rihanna you are a dumb b***h. getting a damn gun tattoo. like that’s going to protect you from getting your ass whoop again.

it is not that serious she hit him first let it be known man or woman she has no right to hit him either.two wrongs dont make a right . i believe shes making him look like the bad one like she never did nothing . little miss goody /or little house on the prairie laura yeah right rihanna.

Rihanna needs to sit her azz down somewhere. If she’s gonna take him back then she just needs to do it already and stop playing with this man like this. I agree with the chica that says going on Oprah would be detrimental to Chris’s already jacked up reputation cuz she does drag things on. Hell, after he leaves that show, he prpbably won’t have any supporters.

Chris Brown doesn’t need to go on the Oprah show to apologize. Why are they still on this topic anyway? Just let it go and they both need to move on rom each other. It just doesn’t make sense that she’s wanting all of this. I dont’ belive in any man putting their hands on a woman but just everybody need to let this go and they both need to just heal but how can they wehn the media want let them.

I do not see Oprah’s book in the Bible.. I did not know forgivness had stipulations.

HONESTLY WHO GIVES A DAMN, THEY HAD A FIGHT , IT’S OVER . NOW LIFE GOES ON.. SORRY , THE MEDIA IS TRYING TO DEFAME A YOUTH BEFORE HIS CARRER BLOSSUMS. AS FOR JAY-Z, F**K’EM WITH A SICK DICK. STOP TRYIN TO PLAY DADDY AND DEAL WITH YOUR OWN CHILDREN!!!!

I don’t condone any man hitting a woman.It’s also wrong for a woman to hit a man. This whole thing about going on Oprah to prove his love for Rihanna ,and beg for forgiveness is silly. As long as the apology is sincere it should not matter where it takes place,and why Oprah? It just seems like a someone is trying to milk this for publicity and to money to me,and I don’t like that! Domestic violence is serious business and there are many other celebrities and non celebrities going through the same thing! Rihanna and Chris Brown both need counseling and they need to part ways period!

i don,t believe going on oprah to prove nothing.just pain publicity good or bad that,s all.also jay z aint her daddy so whatsup with all his anomosity towards chris anyway.having a popular wife hisself and being on top of his career should be enough media for that nigga.i don,t believe in domestic violence no matter who put their hands on who man or women.but stop targeting this celeb couple.let them work the s**t out them selfs.whatever means appropriate for .all this hype and drama damn ain,t there some reality show ormore important topic or crisis.this countries facing.that needs more attention like the recession,hate crimes or even senseless urders and crimes underway.im jus saying enough already .and that gun tattoo come on rhianna why not an umbrella,brella,brella or s.os. lol.

ArEUDaTSoMeBoDy you comparing apples and oranges.
Although I haven’t put my hands on a woman before, there are extreme situtions where I feel I would. In fact some women gravitate towards a guy they know are vulgare in nature…thuggish. They feel that if he doesn’t beat or argue with her he doesn’t care or love her. And if he’s the opposite and too nice…that guy is lame and boring.
Now on the notion that if a woman gets raped because of what she’s wearing…it’s not really her fault but simple logic about the enviroment you are in goes a long way towards street sense. Thus it has a part to play in their situation.

MEN: if u haven’t made up your mind that puttin your hands on a woman is completely out of the question, YOU ARE AN ABUSER… you just haven’t had the appropriate opportunity…

I don’t think chris shouldn’t apologizes, in front of the camera on Oprah show. He should only apologize to himself first, and be real with it, and then rihanna. at the end its god that will judge him

I totally agree with BlackButterfly

I know its politically correct to say a man should never hit a woman, but I’m a firm believer that there CAN BE a reason to open handedly slap almost ANYONE – ONE TIME. But he did a number on that girl. Like, right crosses and upper cuts.

Ideally, no one should put there hands on anyone under any circ**stances. At the same time, if you do someone foul, you might earn a slap or two.

I think she’s keep on taking him back because she probably started hitting at him first. He shoulda just s ucked it up.. especially if she was hitting on him because she found out he was cheating. But, he overreacted.

I hope they both get counseling.

If any women allows a man to put hands on her and does nothing about it or takes him back, slap her a few mor times!cuz ,my 4 brothers would have beat cris home and whipped his butt.

Ok it’s time to give the Chris Brown beat down a break…it’s all about what Chris did but hell Rihanna ain’t innocent either there is two sides to every story and Chris has the whole world punching at him while Rihanna’s dumb ass is sitting there enjoying every min of it and having her pity parties she act as if she’s playing both sides of the fence telling Chris one thing but others something else… Oprah’s ass need to worry about Steadman or Gail. Jigga the ugly nigga need to worry about Beyonce’/Shasha who ever the hell she is today and let Chris and Ri Ri work it out…the media need to back off…if they were both white this s**t would not be a ongoing thing he would still have his endorsements and case closed…Ri Ri is guily also so if he is charged then charge her lil ass too….PROBLEM SOLVED THE END!

What good is an apology on Oprah…that doesn’t mean anything…irt doesn’t mean that there problems all will be soved …doesn’t mean another incident won’t occur…so WTF. I don’t know who needs to apologize to who…only the two of them can decide that and if Oprah has been soliciting them to come on and do a tell all then shame on her. This just occurred and I think they both need time to work things out whether it be separately or together.

The truth is everyone has an opinion on what he so called did. I am not sauing that he did or did not hit her. Nor am i saying he has the right to but what if she hit him first. we don’t know the truth and sometimes a females do hit men thinking they will not hit back. All I am saying is no one knows what actually went down. If he did he don’t owe none of us no explation because he has to answer to a higher power IF

this is a private matter between the two…unfortunately they are popular in the music world.our opinion does not matter…spiritual guidence from within will lead them to understanding of what occured and how to move forward in life..

I think that Ri-Ri did that to herself to be honest. I never liked the b***h no way and when she performed at my school i promise you she was high or drunk maybe even both. She probably got something over his head that made him tell everybody that he beat her ass or something I don’t know but I still think that b***h is crazy

chris don’t go on oprah she is not god jay-z is not god

oprah needs to mind her own business
jay-z needs to mind his own business
everybody needs to mind their own business and leave chris brown alone
rhianna needs to decide if she so damn hurt or not. everybody all in chris brown face fro hitting her, but aint looking at rhianna’s part in the matter. she too hit him and that too is domestic violence. everybody wanna jump down his throat, when another celebrity is in this same situation as we speak and aint nobody paying attention to that and he’s a grown ass man. everybody just mind they own business, stop instigating and blowing up the issue, and let them handle it on their own.

honestly, this story is old and i’m sick of hearing about it. I too think that we don’t know the entire story and that rihana had a part to play in all of this as well. I don’t think a male should ever hit a female but i also think a female shouldn’t hit a male nor should they provoke them to such anger. especially over something as simple as a text that didn’t belong to her. If she saw it, I’m certain he didn’t show it to her. Therefore, she was tampering with his property w/out permission and that kicked it off. I truly hope the both of them get their life and their priorities straight and that all not involved would mind their business especially oprah. she is the one keeping this mess going. when things happen to her she get it out of the media quickly and doesn’t want to revisit it. she’s a funny lady with millions and still can’t find her own happiness. hurt is still written all over her.

I’M SO DONE COMMENTING ON THIS S**T..WHATEVER

Is there anything else that you all can talk about? This “Chri-ana” thing is old, real, real, real, old; and no one seems to be interested in this set-up…all I want to let Chris know is: my daughter said the next time you have a problem with a female; call her, she’ll fly wherever you are, whip the b***h ass, and fly the f**k back home! We love you Chris!!! (your hometown friends) By the way; if JayZ needs some of what Rihana got…He can get it too! Holla at your boyz; they are trained to go!

Will Ri be apologizing for instigating the shyt to begin with.

LIKE IA SAID DONT CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU GONNA GO BACK

Who are you(Oprah) to judge? Who died and made her the moral compass of relationships? Is she even in a relationship? Is it Steadman/ Gail/ or Tyler? Her boosting her ratings on this situation is terrible. As for me, going on TV saying I am sorry is out of the question; if I already apologized directly to you and asked God for forgiveness, I have done my part, the buck stops right there. If you in turn decide not to accept the apology…that is on you. He(Chris) doesn’t owe anybody any repetitive apologies saying it over and over again like a record. If he is going to do that, he might as well put some lyrics with it and cut a record, probably be a HIT SINGLE!!!…LOL.. If I was Chris,….I’d drop her ass like a hot potato, regardless. If you make me that mad that I feel I have to lift up on you, I don’t need to be in that situation, whether she threw the first blow or not.

I think tha Rihanna should apolagize to chris because it was her that made him hit her because she said Stop im not your mother to him knowing what he had seen his step father do to his mother wen she was younger
So in a sense she should apoligze to him and he should apoligize to her to

Oprah and Jay Z need to stop trying to play God and mind their own business. Rhi just proved to me that she is a puppet for other people. If I was Chris Brown, I would just leave her alone and move on with my life. Because if a woman can allow other people to interfere in our relationship than it shows she is not a real woman after all.
I can’t stand nosey people, and Oprah you need to go get your life right with your relationship before telling someone what to do with theirs.
Why in the hell aren’t you married. Because of insecurity reason, or is it because underneath all that makeup is a ugly rich woman who can’t really keep a man? So before you can talk, get your relationship in order.

OK, I give up on this one. At this point, all logical perspective is gone and it’s become a media circus. Plus, I’m amazed at how CB has become the victim now. Wow! My people, my people.

In truth though, Oprah does need to focus more on those sex scandals at her school down there in S Africa…sheesh!

it kills me how ignorant people can be…when a woman is in an abusive relationship the people who care about her are going to tell her to get out of that relationship. this has nothing to do with anyone trying to be god, it has to do with not wanting to see your loved ones hurt or in an f-ed up situation. (@ ginohunter) Furthermore…even if rhianna did say to chris that she is not his mother before during or after he put his hands on her he should’ve thought about what his stepfather put his mother through before he put somebody elses daughter through the same thing. (assuming that jocelyn1990 is right and she did in fact say that to him)

well personally i think the apologies should all come later on , after they both have had extensive family thereapy with there parents and themslves and also by themselves for at least 6mts -1yr,then the media and the world can see if both of them see the light of what a domestic violence relationship has done to and for them.they r both so young ,to get so serious and if the issues cant b worked out, they can move past and away from each other on to a new, happy lives lives with out each other , letting the healing process continue. vj

AY YO F**K THAT!!! EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE BUT, IF YOU HIT ANYBODY IN A RELATIONSHIP OUT OF ANGER JUST DEAD IT!! PERIOD! THAT ANGER MAY RISE TO ANOTHER LIMIT THE NEXT TIME. I AGREE TO APOLOGIZE, BUT ABUSE IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE..I MEAN COME ON THE young MAN SAW HIS MOMMA GET SOME (IKE) TURNER AND RICK JAMES SLAPS!! HE LEARNT ALOT FROM THAT THATS A DANGEROUS LIGHT SKINNED BROTHA!

I still think she did the ‘ A thin Line Between Love & Hate’ you know when the crazy chick beat herself w/ the orange that was in the sock?!?!!!
Scenerio: RiRi read the text message, got pissed & said she would teach him a lesson & started whopping her head against the dashboard & window…just my opinion…

Being in a abusive reaklationship myself I know all of the motions that you go through. But, what RiRi needs to remember that no matter how it happened rather it was her fault or his he still had no right to put his hands on her. but, she should always know that it can always happen again. So, the question is that can she deal with im and the fact that it maybe worse the next time?

Everyone has there own opinion and mine is if you are big enough to hit someone male or femaile you should expect to get hit back. I believe that male or female no one should never raise there hand to each other. People are commented on something they dont know the whole story. Alot of woman are on her side because she is a woman but if she threw the first punch and your reaction is to swing back whats the issue. Oh and by the way I was in a very abusive relationship and took alot of strength to leave. He had a hand problem and eventually I had one. Lets just let them be its been going on since the beginning of there relationship. eventually one day one of them will say enough is enough and move on. If it was your neighbor down the street you you wouldnt even know but because they are famous we the public is all in there business. Leave them people alone everyone is entitled to make a mistake isnt that what jesus died for our sins….

GET OUT… PERIOD…. THE RELATIONSHIP WILL NEVER BE THE SAME…… STOP BEATING A DEAD HORSE AND GO GET ANOTHER MAN….. PERIOD……

If this b!tch don’t get the phuck out of here!!! Chris done apologized to this wench enough. She done accepted his apology, she got back with him. How long ago was this anyway? He has humiliated himself enough. He don’t owe this girl another apology. She can go ahead with that. If i was his sister, i would be ready to kick her a$$. If she didn’t forgive him already, then why is she still with him? Why are they still together? Why are they still seen together? To me, she already forgave him. She’s just tyrin to make a point to somebody.

If I’m wrong then correct me, but I never heard Chris Brown apologize for anything. He released that statement written by his lawyer, but he never has said anything in public. But he can’t because that would be admitting guilt, and lord knows he doesn’t want to do that. That would mean he would be the woman in a prison relationship getting his ass kicked!

I am a firm believer in you dish it, you better be able to take it…period. Everyone says SHE threw the first few punches/slaps/scratches etc…If you dont know what the next person is bringing to the fight…I say dont go to the fight at all…and would we even be having this topical convo had it been a woman that beat up a man??? nah, there would be accolades for her probably…get over it Rihanna, got cha ass whooped…and umm Oprah need to mind her fat ass business..shes only interested in BLACK people when there is something wrong….

This to shall pass, damn let it go, Oprah didn’t leave Stedman, and Whitney didn’t leave Bobby, so stop with the hate remarks, and pay more attention to your own relactionships, this is life, and if one lives long enough they to will have choices to make, but much better to do it with out all the in put. i am begainning to think there the president and the first lady.

why apologize on Oprah?? he apparently already apologized and she apparently accepted…what the fcuk is doin it again on OPRAH gonna do?
dumb broad, and he’ll be even dumber if he does it…

I think they are both crazy, they are going to do what they want to do no matter what, as far as Chris going on Oprah’s ‘couch’ to give an apology, that’s all control. I think Rihanna wants Chris to feel the same way she did in front of the public, and there is nothing wrong with that and I am not saying that whatever happened is right either, just obviously Chris has control issues and maybe even some other deep rooted issue but Rihanna maybe looking at the situation like I’m put this man in his place then leave him! You know, make him look a fool like he did her. Well whatever the situation is for them I hope them both the best.

Some women like to provoke fights with their man, and when things don’t go their way they use the police to try and control them, and that is a shame. Rihanna did something to Chris in order to make him go off like that. He didn’t just wake up and decide ‘I’m gonna beat Rihanna today’. Like a young lady said earlier in the post, it is about her controlling him…if u ask me I think he should leave her azz before he ends up in jail. Plenty more Rihannas out there, Chris. Move on….

That is bull crap that regardless what she done he shouldn’t have put his hands on her. If I was a guy, and a broad hit me like she wanted some…I’d straight knock her out. Real talk….she ought to keep her hands to herself. Sounds to me like she is the abusive one. When it comes to Chris…now she knows. Bet she won’t make that same mistake again, or with any other man. Rihanna, grow up little girl!!

first of all chris couldn’t be 1% related to me cause lil mama would’ve been got it. Everybody pointing the finger at him but wtf ya’ll think that heffar did to that man. an as for him going on tv to say sorry thats a BIG HELL NO. Thats just another way for her to control that man i wish he had a sister or a getto cousin to beat that ass for him. This girl got some real problems that not even jesus can help… now that be the t i say leave her ass she will be fine in plus he the one made her hot with that awful ass voice….

It amazes me how the media blew this story so out of proportion..While the media and the fans are going crazy these two are probably having the best sex ever..Nobody knows exactly what happened except God

I think Rihanna is going a little too far with all of this; why in the world would he have to subject himself to apologizing on national TV, and on Oprah’s show nonetheless? If he has apologized to her personally and privately, then that should be the end of it. It seems to me that she’s trying to embarrass him in front of the whole world which is not a good look. I like Rihanna and all but I think she’s going way too far. And I agree with a lot of the posts on here: no one really knows what happened in that car but Rihanna, Chris and God, and for all the ppl who are constantly saying, ‘He needs his a** kicked’ and whatnot, I feel like this: if she put her hands on him then she deserved whatever she got. Domestic violence is wrong on both fronts: male or female.

I would like to say that this is a very unfortunate incident. And no woman or man deserves to be beat by their boyfriend/girlfriend. Both of them are dead wrong. And charges should be pressd against the both of them.

MMMmmmm!I personally like Rihanna because she is iconic/in many ways talented/attractive among other things. On the other hand, although I dont think Rihanna is a str8 lesbian-Gay. I do beleive the girl is either bi-sexual or bi-curious. Come to think of it, if she loves it both ways? That makes her even more intresting. Rihaan girl you are WANTEDDDD! The Bsharpp2 “Rihanna Shakee” video on myspace/youtube about Rihanna/Chris Brown/Janet Jackson/Etc (even Oprah is in it) brakak it down perfectly that Rihanna could very well be bi-sexual or bi-curious. Check it out!

Okay, true Chris was wrong for what he did, does that mean he should be condemned for life? Does he not deserve a chance to get counseling and help with whatever he has going on? We see things like this everyday in life so why be extra hard on him? He’s still learning life’s lessons as well.
