Rihanna’s father spoke to People Magazine about the incident that occurred between his daughter and Chris Brown but he didn’t offer specific details.
Brown was arrested last week accused of assaulting his girlfriend singer Rihanna.
During the interview, Rihanna’s father Ronald Fenty said “You think you know somebody, but you really don’t. There is some bruising. She will be all right. I think so. At some point, she will speak out. I hope she will stand up for women all over the world.”
On a side note, I’ve been browsing some entertainment Web sites, and several readers left disturbing comments suggesting that Rihanna is to blame because she probably provoked Chris Brown.
While everyone is definitely entitled to their own opinion, it’s important that we keep in mind Rihanna is the victim.
She is NOT the perpetrator, and she shouldn’t be blamed for this unfortunate incident.

Chris Brown releases a statement about the Rihanna incident

I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong.”He also said “While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else.”
I’m sure he is remorseful about what happened, and I’m sure he will indeed emerge as a better person after he’s done with counseling.
No one yet knows exactly what caused the fight, but we do know that Rihanna was beaten up.
Instead of releasing this statement to the public, he probably should have released a statement to Rihanna because she was the one who was physically beaten up and not the public.
Also this statement was released to the media through Brown’s publicist. I wonder if those are Brown’s words in the statement, or if his publicist is the one who drafted it.

Carrie Underwood and Ruben Studdard speak about Chris Brown/Rihanna incident
American Idol winners Carrie Underwood and Ruben Studdard recently commented to US Weekly magazine about the Chris Brown/Rihanna fiasco.
Underwood said, “They were fine at the Grammy party. I don’t think anybody actually knows what happened. I have no advice because, thank goodness, I’ve never been in any kind of abusive situation.”
She also said, “You hear a new one (rumor) every five minutes, and some of them are getting kind of ridiculous. I really hope everyone will lay off and just let everybody who’s involved figure out everything first.”
Season 2 American Idol winner Ruben Studdard said “I’m still praying for him. 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.
Well duh Ruben. When you beat up your girlfriend, of course people are going to say something negative about you.
Also, it’s okay if he says a prayer for Chris Brown, but he never said he was going to say a prayer for Rihanna.
She probably needs more prayers because she was the one who was beaten.

Chris Brown hiding out in Las Vegas
So where has Chris Brown been hiding at since he was arrested on an assault complaint accused of beating up his girlfriend singer Rihanna?
According to E News, he has been in a suite at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Whenever you’re in legal trouble accused of beating up your girlfriend, what better place to hang out than Las Vegas (aka Sin City) to help take your mind off of the chaos.
On second thought, maybe he should hang out at church instead because he’s really going to need God to help him out of the jam that he’s in.
Those slot machines will do him no good.

Chris Brown grew up in abusive home
In the aftermath of Chris Brown’s arrest on an assault complaint, Access Hollywood uncovered an interview where Brown talks about growing up with an abusive stepfather in an interview with Giant Magazine.
He told his mother, “I’m gonna take a baseball bat one day while you at work, and I’m gonna kill him.”
Also during the interview, he said “He used to hit my mom. He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, ‘I’m just gonna go crazy on him one day,’ I hate him to this day.”
Brown was arrested early morning Feb. 9 accused of assaulting a young woman. Although the victim’s name hasn’t been released, multiple news organizations are speculating that the victim was his girlfriend singer Rihanna.
I hope Brown is able to overcome his demons, and it’s sad that he had to witness that type of behavior as a child. But if the allegations against him are true, that’s still no excuse for assaulting someone else.
He has to learn to break the cycle. Otherwise, he’s going to end up like his stepfather.
Also, about those Wrigley Doublemint gum commercials that Brown appears in. You won’t see those commercials for a while because the company is suspending those commercials as a result of the assault allegations.
Watch the clip of the commercial below because it might be the last time you will see it.

Chris Brown arrested for assaulting Rihanna?
R&B singer Chris Brown was arrested early Feb. 9 by the Los Angeles Police Department accused of assaulting a woman.
He was released on $50,000 bail.
Police released a statement that said at about midnight Sunday (Feb. 8), Chris Brown along with a female companion were arguing in a vehicle. The two exited the vehicle and continue to argue.
Someone called 911, and when police arrived, the woman told them Chris Brown attacked her. The officer said the woman had visible injuries.
They won’t officially release the name of the female companion because they wanted to protect her identity. However, several news organizations are reporting that the victim was his girlfriend singer Rihanna.
The couple was set to perform at the Grammy awards Sunday night, but they both canceled.
Rihanna’s publicist told E News that Rihanna was involved in a traffic mishap but she is fine.
We’ll have to wait until the investigation unfolds before we find out the details.
Brown and Rihanna are considered a power couple in the music industry. Both of them had a string of hits during the past two years and filled arenas during their concerts.
If these allegations are true, Chris Brown will no longer have a thriving career — and he doesn’t deserve to.

Photographer sues Chris Brown and Rihanna
A photographer filed a $1 million lawsuit against singer Chris Brown and his girlfriend singer Rihanna.
According to the St. Petersburg Times newspaper, the photographer is claiming that he tried to take a picture of the couple when Chris and Rihanna’s security beat him up and stole his $3,000 camera.
I smell a gold digger here. If the security guards are the ones who beat and robbed you, why don’t you just sue the guards instead of suing Rihanna and Chris Brown.
They had nothing to do with it. Guilt by association does not hold up in court.

Chris Brown named the most demanded artist
The awards keep flowing in for singer Chris Brown. A week after he was named artist of the year at the 2008 American Music Awards, Chris was named the most demanded artist by Music Choice On Demand.
Chris Brown fans ordered his videos or interviews 43 million times during the past year on the channel giving him the most plays among any other musician.
According to the Associated Press, teenage girls are mostly responsible. Remember way back in the day when all the teenage girls swooned over Usher? Well, I guess Chris Brown has taken his spot now.
Where you at Usher? Where you at?
