Abuse was not Rihanna’s fault

R&B singers Rihanna and Chris Brown recently appeared on television interviews to discuss the fight that occurred between them.
I’m referring to the fight in February that left Rihanna’s face bloodied and bruised while Brown received probation and a community service sentence.
Rihanna appeared on “Good Morning America” and “20/20″ to discuss the altercation, and Brown was on MTV apologizing for his actions.
Meanwhile, members of Brown’s camp, including his friends and dancers have been using their Twitter pages to insinuate Rihanna is lying.
His backup dancer posted the following tweet: “I wish dancers can speak about things that really go on. I can not believe this. Let me just say Chris Brown was pushed to the extreme. Her people made her do this interview for two reasons–album sales and to try an kill Chris’ career.”
I’ve written numerous blog posts about the Brown and Rihanna incident, and I have been disturbed by the number of emails and comments I’ve received from readers who tell me “Rihanna deserved to be beaten up,” or ”It was Rihanna’s fault” or ”Rihanna brought it on herself.”
Before you make those types of statements, think about this. What if your mother was bloodied and beaten by her boyfriend? Would you say your mother deserved it?… What if your sister was bloodied and beaten up by her boyfriend? Would you say your sister deserved it?
Placing the blame on Rihanna is not productive. It’s not the victim’s fault. No one deserves to be beaten in that manner.
We’ve all seen the photos that were leaked to the press that show Rihanna’s face battered, bloodied and swollen. She didn’t deserve that, and she is not to blame.
Brown has apologized for his behavior, and he was given his punishment by the court. Is he sincere? Only God and Brown know the answer to that question.

I agree with you it makes me sick to think people would blame her. It’s wrong Chris hurt her, she couldn’t have done anything to deserve that
