Rihanna and Chris Brown

February 25th, 2009 | By Safiyyah

There’s a somewhat funny joke passing around that women should stay away from the Browns; i.e. Bobby Brown, James Brown and now Chris Brown because of their violent streak. You may have already heard about the incident between Rihanna and Chris Brown that occurred the night before the Grammys. According to reports, Rihanna and Chris were sitting in the car when he received a text message from a female — supposedly this female was someone Chris had a booty call with. Now, Rihanna sees this and tries to get out of the car, but Chris won’t let her. He grabs her and then they get into an altercation that leaves her with bite marks on her arms and hands, swollen eyes, bloody nose, bruises on her face and a busted lip. Not sure, if you seen the photo of her yet, but she looks really bad. He was arrested that night, but got out on a $50,000 bail.

I heard on a radio station that he is wanted for attempted murder, but I think that is quite extreme for a couple quarrel. Not sure if that is true. I also heard that Chris Brown showered Rihanna with gifts like a diamond necklace, flowers and other things for her birthday. There have been some speculation that the R&B princess might take Chris Brown back, but we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. What do you think about the whole ordeal? Does Chris deserve to be forgiven or should Rihanna press heavy charges that will continue to ruin his career? Most of his ad campaigns have already been pulled (Double Mint gum commercials) and some radio stations aren’t playing his songs anymore.
