Rihanna on 'Good Morning America'

“I don’t hate him at all,” Rihanna said of ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. “I actually love and care about him and I’m concerned about him doing well. I want him to do well — have a great career, have a great life, and grow up. Just take this as something that you had to go through to grow up and learn.”

Rihanna said her relationship with Chris Brown verged on “obsession” and the “more in love we became, the more dangerous we became for each other – equally as dangerous.”

Speaking about the night she was attacked and beaten by Brown, Rihanna said an argument started when she saw a text message on his phone from another woman. Rihanna said she confronted Brown about the message.

“I caught him in a lie and he wouldn’t tell the truth,” she recalls. “I wouldn’t drop it. I couldn’t take that he kept lying to me and he couldn’t take that I wouldn’t drop it, because obviously his back was up against the wall. The truth is right here in the text message. So it escalated into him being violent towards me and it was ugly.”

“All I kept thinking the whole time is ‘When is it going to stop?” Rihanna said. ‘”When is it going to stop?’”

Speaking to People, Brown said he sought counseling after his attack on Rihanna to help deal with his anger management issues. “I want to understand my feelings,” Brown said. “I just need to talk to someone. I wanted to understand the problem at hand.”

How does Brown plan to deal with his anger in the future? Apparently he might just do a waltz or two. “If I do [get man], I will work with my counselor and hopefully channel my anger into something like dancing.”

Meanwhile, the feud between Chris Brown and Oprah Winfrey continues to heat up. Oprah aired a show on domestic violence dedicated to “all the Rihannas of the world” after Brown’s assault on his then girlfriend. During the episode, she stared directly in the camera and said: “If a man hits you once, he will hit you again. He will hit you again.”

Brown was angered by what he considered a “slap in the face” from Oprah. “I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school.” Brown claims Oprah insulted him by only showing support for Rihanna after the incident. “She could’ve been more helpful, like, ‘OK, I’m going to help both of these people out.’”

A rep for Oprah responded to Chris Brown’s statements, saying, “Oprah is very appreciative that Chris Brown performed at her school, but she takes domestic abuse very seriously. She hopes he gets the counseling he needs.”

Well, at least it seems like Brown is taking Oprah’s advice and getting some proper head shrinking – because he obviously needs it.

Oh, and Chris is not a fan of the blogs/media who detailed his bad behavior. Waahhh, waahh.

Brown’s new/old lady is University of Mary Washington student Erica Jackson. “ Chris and Erica met in Virginia, where he’s from,” a source close to the singer tells the NY Daily News. “They dated back in the day and reconnected a few weeks ago when Chris was in town. They’ve been spending a lot of time together, but things only really heated up over the last two weeks.”

Chris’s peeps think the new girl is going to be good for him in the long run. “Erica has a good head on her shoulders; she’s solid,” says the insider. Being solid is a must if you’re gonna ride around with Chris. Less bruising. The blabber goes on to say “She’s more of a plain Jane — cute though. She’s helping to ease Chris’ pain over Rihanna. He was mad in love with that girl.”

According to pals, the “mad” one in this love trifecta will be Rihanna herself. “She is going to be pissed!” says a pal of the pop starlet. “Ri is going to be so hurt that Chris has moved on so quickly and is parading this new girl around town.”

What a dumbass! Princess Ri-Ri reportedly has done a 180, and is now assisting prosecutors in her assault case against Brown. She had been reluctant to participate, but all that’s changed now! Nice work, Chris. Hopefully you’ll get what’s coming to ya.

Rihanna is said to be cooperating with police in the case against boyfriend Chris Brown’s alleged assault on her before the Grammys. The story is not pretty.

A source close to the investigation told E! News that Rihanna has alleged to police that Chris choked her, threatened to kill her and she lost consciousness as a result of the attack.

They were together at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party late Saturday, and began fight. As to why they started fighting…there are reports that Chris received a text and that Paris Hilton was all over Chris outside of the party, and also rumors that Rihanna gave Chris the herpes…hmm. After midnight, things blew up. Brown pulled his rented Lamborghini to the side of a street in L.A.’s Hancock Park. Reportedly, Rihanna grabbed the car keys, threw them out the window…and Chris snapped.

After an unsuccessful search for the keys, he came back to the car, put his hands around her neck and said, “I’m going to kill you!” Rihanna told police that she lost consciousness, and when she came to, Chris was gone.

Officers were so concerned about her, they drove her to the hospital in their squad car instead of waiting for an ambulance. They took picture of her injuries at the scene and after she was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The pics are likely among the evidence presented to the D.A.

Chris was released from LAPD custody after posting $50,000 bail. His celebu-lawyer, Mark Geragos and Chris’s publicist have not responded to requests for comment on the situation. These are very serious charges that Chris is facing. It’s too bad, but he may have killed his career.

TMZ reports that the photos show major contusions on both sides of the singer’s face, there is serious swelling and bruising. Her lip is split and her nose bloody. There is confirmation there are bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers.

Rihanna claims Chris Brown struck her with his fists and that’s what did the damage. There was reportedly no object used in the alleged attack, contrary to earlier reports. Apparently Chris Brown’s fists are the “deadly weapon” in the felony charge.

Rihanna refused treatment at the scene, cops took photos before she left. TMZ says the photos alone are “devastating proof of abuse.” An additional detail is that it was not Rihanna who called 911. Someone else nearby heard her screams and called in the emergency.

Chris is the last person fans expected to behave like such a thug, although there are rumors that Rihanna gave him herpes, and this is what set him off.

Insiders have identified singer Rihanna as the victim of a felony domestic assault by her boyfriend, R&B singer Chris Brown. As we told you earlier, Chris was on the lam from the cops all day after the assault early this morning. He turned himself into the LAPD a few hours ago, and was arrested.

Both Chris and Rihanna were at Clive Davis’s pre-Grammy party last night, and left together. The assault took place in a car, and Chris left the scene before the cops arrived. Rihanna’s reps have been saying that her facial injuries were due to a “car accident”, but it is now virtually certain that she was the female victim whom the cops (as normal practice) did not identify by name.

NY Post reports that Sources said Brown beat Rihanna after they fought in his car following the party.

“She got out of the car to walk home. He got out to stop her,” said a source. “Things got physical. He hit her, possibly more than once. She had multiple bruises.”

A security guard at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles told the Daily News Sunday night that he saw Rihanna being taken for treatment at the hospital.

“She’s been released,” said guard Rodderick Brown.

TMZ has video of Chris getting booked, on $50,000 bond. He has reportedly bonded out.

Ri-Ri needs to get her alien boots out and stiletto all over that dumbass. Swiss-cheese him. Hopes for a speedy recovery for Rihanna, and swift justice for Chris.
