Rihanna’s Family Speaks on Brown
Rihanna‘s family is opening up about the relationship between Rihanna and Chris Brown after an alleged altercation before the Grammy Awards that left Rihanna injured and Brown arrested.
One family member told People.com that Brown "flew so far under everyone’s radar that we just didn’t think he was that [abusive] type." The relative added that the news comes as a surprise because "he was always looking after her needs making sure she was happy."
The relative agreed with Rihanna’s dad, Ronald Fenty, who thinks his superstar daughter should "move on" from the relationship. "I don’t want her to go back to him," the family member said. "I don’t think anyone does."
Earlier this week, Kimora Lee Simmons, who was showing her line Baby Phat during New York Fashion Week, spoke about the incident with The Associated Press, saying she saw the pair earlier in the night before news broke.
well hopefully Rihanna listens to her dad and this unnamed relative and drop this Chris Brown cat.
the thing about abusive relationships is that the abuser doesn’t always come off as a jerk at first. They can sometimes come of as really nice guys…until they attack their woman.
or at least seem nice in public.
The picture of Rihanna is more offensive than the “Dead Monkey” cartoon. It’s impact on society will be everlasting because she is now the “Poster Child” for Domestic Abuse. America doesn’t understand why some women stay and why some “Men” hit. Before I attempt to rationalize the behavior, there is no excuse. The behavior of both individuals is dysfunctional. It’s like a perfect “Lock and Key.” It must fit for it to be dysfunctional to us and functional to the parties involved. How many times have men been hit in private by aggressive women? How many times do men and women play aggressive roles in their relations? Some are passive and others more aggressive, but the roles change when faced with trouble. The point here is a woman could stay because she is equally responsible for the dysfunction. Society seldom sees the bruised ego of the man. Words are often just as bruising as a physical confrontation. None of these thoughts are excuses. You’ve got to try to understand before you can help them overcome their dysfunction and pain. Rihanna and Chris could someday love each other in a healthy way if the world doesn’t screw it up by making one feel like a victim. They both need counseling, communication, and our love.
