Carrie Underwood saw Chris Brown and Rihanna at Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Gala in Beverly Hills on Saturday - hours before Brown allegedly assaulted his girlfriend.

"They were fine at the Grammy party," Underwood told Usmagazine.com Thursday at the American Idol Experience at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida.

Look back at Chris and Rihanna's happier times.


"I don't think anybody actually knows what happened," she added. "I have no advice because, thank goodness, I've never been in any kind of abusive situation."

She told Us she wishes people "would stop" spreading rumors about what led to the incident.

"You hear a new one every five minutes, and some of them are getting kind of ridiculous," she said. "I really hope everyone will lay off and just let everybody who's involved figure out everything first."

Underwood's Idol colleague Ruben Studdard told Us he has met Brown before, and the singer was "cool" to him.

"I'm still praying for him," Studdard told Us. "Everybody always has something negative to say about everything, and I always try to be positive.

"You never know what's going on in people's personal situations," he added. "They've both made wonderful careers for themselves, and I think they will continue to do so for the rest of their lives."

See all the Idols who have had babies and tied the knot.

Brown's alleged assault was also a hot topic at the 40th NAACP Image Awards in L.A., where Brown was up for outstanding male artist. (He lost to Jamie Foxx .)

"Violence against women should never happen," said actor Mark Curry, who knows the singer. "Women, throughout history, have been beaten and prostituted. Even today in movies and music, they're portrayed as low-grade, so you know, he's a youngster and he can correct his ways. It's just a tragedy, women and abuse."

Added House of Payne star Demetria McKinney, "I just want them to know that my prayers are out for both of them, that everything is rectified the way that it's supposed to be, and they can move on with their lives."

Mary J. Blige - who attended amFAR gala for NYC Fashion Week on Thursday - also sent her well wishes to the couple.

"My take on what's happened is that they're both young and beautiful people," she told Us. "And that's it."

    Is it wrong for a woman to hit a man? Yes! Why is everyone always saying it is wrong for a man to hit a woman? Its wrong both ways - no one should hit anyone...period! Just because Rihanna is a woman doesn't make her any less guilty. It's all wrong and they both need to seek counseling. They both need to seek anger management classes together.
