It is strange to me that we have a Women's Forum here and NOBODY has started a thread in this topic.

Everybody is choosing sides [even OPRAH!]

Not just Rihana...but the subject of domestic abuse period...

It is in a crisis stage currently and even the returning soldiers at CENTCOM near me here are being recorded as up incidences of spousal abuse and even some murders from the PTSD soldiers returning from their 2nd and 3rd tour of duty.

Not just women are abused either....BUT more women are abused by their male partner than the other way around...

Men who happen to join in please be serious as this is a very serious subject. With the sinking economy the incidences are at a peak because of peoples increasing tensions over the economy.

But Rihana certainly was victimized...

BUT TO BE FAIR....Chris grew up in a household where his mother was abused and these guys are most likely to repeat that cycle...sooo Chris needs loving intervention and re education also....HE IS ONLY 19!!!

BUT abuse is not to be tolerated BY ANYBODY!!!!!

Any kind of physical violence is wrong imo....doesnt matter who its against. Its very sad that their private life is right there for the whole world to see. He needs to get some anger issues resolved and she should stay away from him, doesnt sound like she is, but we dont know the whole story. People need to respect each other and not cross those boundaries.I agree madre, abuse should not be tolerated at all!

Basically what Mrs.Babba said I don't think any sane individual will condone violence in a relationship regardless of the circumstances.Aside from that I have been heavily offended by how much the media assume the worse and exaggerate the circumstances from what anyone really knows. Something occurred that night that's for sure what happened nothing is proof its all speculation and hear say it takes time to find out what really happened. Its all sad really, really sad for both parties and for those who talk and spread hersay without knowing anything other then rumors and there own assumptions.

There seems to be more BS associated with this case than most. Irregardless if he's only 19 or how he was raised or whatever. It's feloney assult and battery and he should be in jail. ANYONE else would be. She could have been killed. Did you see the pictures or read what happened?

well chris has to pay the price for what he did and I am sure he knows that. But he needs intervention as well as prosecution as he is a victim also from coming from an abusive environment. Rihana should back away until he gets proveable help. Some men can learn that violence is not tolerated no matter what. Some women also for that matter. Anger management and learning alternate ways of dealing with stress is a good way for Chris to go. OTHERWISE women will boycott his records. You see where Ike Turner is these days from beating the hell outta Tina Turner ,,,

But they are 19 and 21 and already rich super stars. That is a lot of pressure for those comin' out of the Ghetto environment. And Rihana is from a macho Brazilian environment where men rule the roost and she needs re education on not accepting violence as normal.

My feminist nurse daughter married a cubano who has been 10 years in this country. Talk about cultural clash...but they are working it out. Education is the way...should be taught from early school years.

Nothing fair about a man ho beat up a women....even if he grew up in a house where mum did be abused...I did from i was inside my mums stomic and untill i turned 12 and my mum finally took us away , if he comes fromthat kind of famili he should know better the beat a women.......No excuse the guy is a retard

The main prob women have ...and you see it in this thread But but but...he did and its a shame and thats why...an thats why they will keep abuse women more and more ...dont forgive and dont search 4 answer way they did just jump em fight em take the nearest thing and stick it in the suckers eye or ear or something No normal guy would beat up a women......

But i like the last thing u write

[79towncar]

What do u say to a woman with 2 black eyes???? Nothing you already told her twice. j/k no man ever should hit a woman unless shes trying to kill him with a knife or soomething. As far as Rhiana, shes the ugliest woman ever. She looks like she grew up next to a nuclear power plant. Her eyes are spaced 3 feet apart.

loool ..Almost like....how to stop blood on your shirt ? give the woman a tissue

The saddest thing about situations like this is how often trying to help the woman, in whatever way, tends to backfire, they usually end up going back to the abuser and you become the devil.

A friend got badly beaten up recently for intervening when 1 druken guy was beating up his gf on the street, he tried remonstrating with the guy, verbally, and was surprised by a sharp heel getting stuck in his back, they both then jumped on him. I also tried helping my ex, who it turns out, much to everybody's surprise, is getting beaten up by her new bf and got some serious nasty sh1t back.....

It is not good and for the sake of a lot more people than herself, she should DUMP THE CREEP.
