We'll never forget that image of Rihanna from 2009, after she was beaten by then -boyfriend, R&B singer Chris Brown. But can you forgive? “Happy Birthday Robyn” wrote Brown, using her birth name. Rihanna thanked him via retweet, just minutes later. Their apparent reconciliation comes after controversy last week, when Brown was featured prominently at the Grammys, indicating the music industry has also forgiven him. Tweeting after the show last week, musician Miranda Lambert wrote: “Where I come from, beating up on a woman is never OK”.
The whole drama leaves us wondering what this says to other women who have been victims of assault within a romantic relationship; it has the danger of creating a false reality as not everyone has the mental or emotion capacity for change.
So it's true, Chris Brown and Rihanna are making music together again. The former couple have confirmed they'll collaborate on two song remixes. This comes nearly three years after Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting Rihanna. He is currently serving five years of probation. Why on earth would Rihanna go back and work with a man that assualted her? With Rihanna being a high profile artist, shouldn't she be an example to other women out there? Because most women would walk away and never look back. Could it be that she is being told what to do by the music industry? Is she another fly caught in a web and has been entrapped within a system she can't escape from? Will she be the next dinner that the spider is preparing?
You know I was wondering the same thing. Nothing gives anyone the right to hit anyone be it male against male female against female male against female or adult against child or child against child but what was the fight over? Is he Illuminati? We know she is/was. Was he trying to save her from them? Was she trying to get him to be apart of them? So many questions there. One things for sure though they both have a strong influence on the youth. So do we just ignore it? Do we speak out upon it? So many question but how to answer them even for myself. Much Love to you
ReplyDeleteThat whole relationship scenario gives wrong messages to the youth who follow these kinds of singers. Exactly what kinds of values and self worth would any woman feel having been abused and returning for the same treatment? It is NOT acceptable. Walk away and stand in your own power. Dont enable those perpetuators.

DeleteI like this part " Is she another fly caught in a web and has been entrapped within a system she can't escape from? Will she be the next dinner that the spider is preparing?" is cool!
ReplyDeletei doubt this, i think they really got a thang going on, i mean they never really broke up, they separated cause of the beating, so they might still be in love!in my opinion!, theres a spark to them, plus listen to Chris Browns music, after he beat her, its PURTTTY OBVIOUS, they are written for her!, especially "she aint you" and "All Back"..but who knows!
