I'm pretty sure it's a definite that they are back together, it's just the wedding thing that's rumor right now. And, yes Jane, I agree.

Jane2, I think the world of psychology has a term for this. There are women who seem to be addicted to abusive relationships and can't emotionally make the break. I just hope she gets help before she is found dead somewhere.

Krissy- yeah,I know that a lot of women find it hard to break away from abusive relationships. For reasons of low self esteem, they think they deserve the abuse. And although there are organizations they can go to for help, for some reason, they choose to stay in the home with the abuser. I guess I'm supposed to feel sorry for them, but I don't.

This is Rihanna's first beating (I guess-who knows? )if she comes back for more, I'm blaming her.

... and I would blame him. It's more complex than low self esteem, though that can certainly be a factor. Sometimes there is a lot of denying and enabling going on. I'm not a psychologist, nor have I ever been in such a situation, so I'm not one to judge her.

"... and I would blame him."

Well, that's obvious he's to blame. He's known to be an abuser. She , and all the other women know that. So, after you've taken the beating, and you go back for more, I blame the one who goes back, thinking it isn't going to happen again, or, thinking she deserves it.

You can call me "judging" her if you like, that's fine.

The "I'm going to beat the #@%$ out of you when we get home!" and the fact that he pretty much beat her in public makes me think that this wasn't the first time it happened.

What I meant by judging is that I am not a good one to characterize her circumstance. Perhaps she grew up with a violent background and has been subject to abuse her whole life, in other words, not knowing anything better (pure speculation). But I do not know enough about her to say she is getting what she deserves. To me that is doubtful.

Chris Brown does not deserve to have a girlfriend:

From the detective's notes:

"Christopher B and Robyn F have been involved in a dating relations for approx 1 and half year. On Sunday Feb 8 at 25 hours Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn F as the front passenger on an unknown street in Los Angeles. Robin F picked brown,s cellular phone and picked up a three-page text message from a woman Brown had had a previous relationship with.

"A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled a vehicle over in an unknown street. Reach over Robyn F with his right hand and open the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit he took his right hand and shoved her head against the passenger window of the vehcile causing an approx 1 inch raised circular contusion.

"Robyn F turned to face Brown and punched her in the left eye with right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F Osmouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle. Brown looked at Robyn F and stated "I am going to beat the s–t out of you when we get home! You wait and see!?

"Robyn F picked her cellular phone and called her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales. Rosales did not answer the telephone but while her vm greeting was playing Robyn F pretended to talk to her and stated "I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there? (this statement was made while greeting was playing and was not captured) after Robyn f faked the call, Brown and looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I really am going to kill you.'

"Brown resumed punching Robyn F and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist placing her elbows and face near her lap and in attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied by Brown. Brown continued to punch Robyn F on her left arm and hands, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps that was approx 2 inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand. Robyn f attempted to send another text message to other personal assistant Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window to an unknown street. Brown continued driving and Robyn F observed his cellular phone in his lap. She picked up the cellular phone with her left hand, and before she could make a call, he placed her in a head lock with right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

"Brown held Robyn F close to him and bit her on her left hear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of [address] and Robyn F turned off the car removed the key from inignition and sat on it. Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F left and right carotid arteries causing her to be unable to breath. She began to lose consciousness. She reached up with her left hand and began to attempting to gauge his eyes in attempt to flee herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and released her. While brown continued to punch her she turned around a place her back to against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest and placed her feet against Brown,s body and began pushing him away.

"Brown continued to punch her on legs and feet causing several contusions. Robyn F began screaming for help. And Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighbor heard Robyn F,s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F was issued a domestic violence protective order (EPO). Affiant conducted an interview with Melissa Ford who advised on Feb. 8 2009 at 2500 hours she received a phone call from Robin F from an unknown telephone number later identified as the telephone number of Officer Chavez. Robin F had advised Ford that she had been assaulted by Brown. At approx at 1 am Brown called Ford as nothing happened. Ford advised Brown that she had already talked to Robin F and was aware of what happened. Ford had advised brown that the neighbors had called police and that they were with Robyn F. Brown had asked Ford if robin F had provided police with his name. And ford advised him that she had. Brown hung up the telephone and did not call back.

"On Feb. 8, Brown turned himself in and was given a copy of the EPO and advised to not contact Robyn.

"On Feb. 17 Ford advised the affiant that she had received text messages from … a number that Ford recognized as belonging to Brown. In the text message Brown apologized for what he had done to Robin F. and advised Ford he was going to get help."

This man deserves time in jail. How can they just go back to normal after all this? She needs help just as much as he does. If she pressed charges it would make things for the DA so much easier. Great message she is sending out to other girls.If your boyfriend beats the sh*t out of you, take him back and support him and blame yourself for making him so angry.

"she is getting what she deserves" Way to rephrase, Krissy Sim.

My point here is that when an abused person stays with the abuser, she/he really can't be absolved from blame when it keeps happening to them. They placed themselves there. They made that choice.

Anyway, Krissy Sim, I've noticed that you and I don't really agree on much that's posted on this site. Let's just agree to disagree.

NO ONE deserves to be beaten. That is what the abused don't understand. THEY think they deserve it, not me.

And what THE F*CK is wrong with her dad? He came out and issued a PUBLIC STATEMENT saying that if Rihanna decided to reconcile with Brown he'll support her decision. Saying you support your daughter's decision to stay in a relationship with a guy that beat the crap out of her is quite different from saying you'll stand by and support HER (which, of course, any caring parent would do). Way to let your daughter know she should value herself. Sickening.

Dad's probably riding the "gravy train".

I had read she hadn't had contact with her dad in a few weeks. Maybe he was just trying to put it out there that he would be there for her? This whole thing is nasty mess.

Yes, the whole thing is extremely sad. I'm so disappointed in her for even seeing this punk after reading what he did to her. Hopefully, he'll serve the time that he deserves and she'll wise up.

Edit: Sorry, for the angry post, but it's just really upsetting. However, I do realize it must be a difficult situation and I shouldn't blame her, especially if she loves him.

"I do realize it must be a difficult situation and I shouldn't blame her, especially if she loves him. "

Yes. The psychology can be complex. She is certainly making a mistake to return to him, but she may have been a victim all her life and it's difficult to break out of a mindset.

That's why I appreciate those countries where this sort of thing is taken out of the hands of either participant. The state intervenes. One person goes to jail for a term and doesn't get released back into the public until they have taken extensive counseling at a half-way house, the other must take counseling, too

It's too dangerous a situation to play games with.
