    From stories it seems to me like Rhianna had it comming to her , still there is no right to abuse..but there has been way worse crimes by celeberties and what is being done towards Chris Brown is far more then what other celebs have gotten for more serious acts... they need to cut him some slack...

    Chris Brown should get his mind fix. He should respect people. Just because his stepfather used to hit his mother doesn't mean he has to hit his girlfriend! I guess it's fame that got into him. Poor Rihanna. I hope she's OK. I really wish Chris goes to jail to think over of what he had done. lol.

    Chris Brown has no right to hit or beat anyone outside a legalize fight condone by the officials. To beat a woman and to run afterwards shows some trouble in that house. Children that grow up with abusers, usually without counseling become the abuser. What was the provocation? Her career better than hios career? Rumor of Kayne West and JayZ dating Rihanna in the past or did she give him a a STD?

    Some of the comments I'm reading from these young girls are sick! Have some respect for yourselves she is someone's daughter and granddaughter. How can you people just try to excuse this punks behavior. He obviously has done something and put his hands on her which he shouldn't of done. He gets whatever they give his big toothed a**!
