I had a friend who used to swear by this technique. It’s true, nice guys finish last. So don’t blame Rhianna, it’s evolutionary!
Islamic law and the Koran permit men to beat their wives if they disobey.
Oprah is just an opportunist who only goes after the subjects that put her in the best light possible. Help Rihanna? Please – looks like Oprah was just helping herself to more publicity. Looks like she should change her production company name from Harpo to Hypo — as in Hypocrite.
I hate to admit it but the fact that Chris bite Rhianna turns me so on. I hope it’s in the video for their duet.
The book will be wonderful! Chris is such a loving soul, wise beyond his years. Y’all hating for nothing!!!! This beating was a small bump in the road. My mother always told me it wasn’t a big deal to get a few slaps. Actually she felt it made her a better person, centered her. So there!!!!
Who the hell does Oprah and Tyra think they are! They know nothing about Rihanna’s life before or after these alledged incidents occured with Chris Brown. Rihanna was physically abused but I think it down right disrespectful to portray Rihanna as weak. Obviously they are working through their issues and they should not have to deal with public criticisms by the likes of Tyra Banks, who of course has suffered much abuse from her own relationships. Give me a break! If I was Rihanna I would have a broadcast and give those b****es a piece of my mind.
wow, did anybody read the police reports they have out ? or hear on the new’s that she went out of control slapping him, and hittin him, & it isint the first time she’s done it, they had witnesse’s to previous times where rihanna has hit and punched him so if anything not only should he be in anger management treatment so should SHE. she’s not the victim, she’s an instiqator. noBody should lay hands on anyBody, male or women plain and simple.
If Rhianna dies than they both win. She’ll get that money Chris promised when he said he wouldn’t hit her again and they could easily sell the movie rights for 2 million. Like a Jo Lo Selena movie. It’d be awesome if Zac Efron were in it!
Also, you guys don’t know this but Stedman used to kick the snot out of Oprah. Gail would get some in too. I worked as a waiter in a gay nightclub and I saw it happen on more than one occassion.
I do not think she is any role model. Would you want your daughter to dress like a slut? Would you want your dauighter to be beat up by a thug? I say, if she goes back, let her. SHe’ll be dead in a year.
What a surprise that Tyra talked about how SHE was “abused” and “intruded too often into the interviews Winfrey conducted”! LOL
Hey Brownie! Your career’s done, you’ll always be known as the less talented guy who beat up his talented girlfriend. Get used to it ya dirty hood rat!
All of Pro-Chris responses are WACKED-OUT. You should all be beaten in the face till you spit up blood. Only then will you understand. If he beat another man, it would wrong, but this is serious and he should be in jail. What does this have to do with Oprah? Hope she encourages other women to fight back, speak out, or at least not to be a victim of some cruel immature pig.
Rhianna is a bad role model for all the women out there who want to be role models for battered women. Battered fish is better than battered women.
There was better info on Larry King w/ Joy Behar with Robin Givens and that’s sayin’ a lot. (and oprah had tyra!?!)
Oprah actually said about a teenage girl killed by her ex-boyfriend “allegedly murdered-NO was murdered” and smiled about her mistake!
