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?’”

“That’s embarrassing that that’s the type of person that I fell in love with,” Rihanna said on Good Morning America. “So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It’s humiliating to say this happened.”

Rihanna said going back to Chris Brown after he beat and bit her the night before the Grammy Awards set a bad example for women who are victims of domestic violence. “When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part… Even if Chris never hit me again, who is to say that their boyfriend won’t? Who’s to say that they won’t kill these girls?”

Even though it was “humiliating” to have to admit she was abused by Chris Brown, Rihanna said she felt she needed to speak out for domestic violence victims. “It’s completely normal to go back. It’s not right. I learned the hard way, but again, this is what I want people to know.”

Speaking out was difficult for Rihanna, however. “There are a lot of women who’ve experienced what I did, but not in the public. So it made it really difficult. I just felt like, ‘Oh my God, here it goes, my little bit of privacy.”

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.

UPDATE: Chris Brown has just been charged with 2 felonies- felony assault, and making criminal threats.

Okay, check this out and then tell Snarkista how crazy in the head Rihanna is for getting back together with Chris Brown. Chris beat the crap out of Rihanna before the Grammy Awards, was arrested, and is now facing charges. Rihanna says she isn’t going to cooperate with law enforcement in their case against Chris.

LAPD detectives’ notes from a search warrant in the case were obtained by TMZ. According to the notes, Rihanna read a three-page text message on Brown’s phone from a woman. An argument ensued and Brown allegedly tried forcing Rihanna out of the car but couldn’t because she was wearing her seat belt.

Brown then allegedly shoved Rihanna’s head against the passenger window. When Rihanna turned to face him, Brown punched her, then continued punching her while driving, according to the detective’s notes. Blood spattered all over Rihanna’s clothing and in the interior of the car. Her mouth was filled with blood.

Brown allegedly told Rihanna, “I’m going to beat the **** out of you when we get home. You wait and see.” Rihanna called her assistant and left a message saying, “I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there.”

Brown then replied, “You just did the stupidest thing ever. I’m going to kill you.” According to the report, Brown continued to punch Rihanna, bit her on her ear, her fingers and put her in a headlock — she almost lost consciousness.

Princess Ri-Ri, you are INSANE to keep this “relationship” alive. It may just be the death of you. LAPD interviewed Rihanna after the attack and she told them Brown had been violent toward her in the past and that the attacks were getting “more violent” as time went on. The interview is crucial evidence if the L.A. County D.A. charges Brown with felony domestic battery.

And there’s something else. The photo above showing Rihanna’s battered face is allegedly MILD compared to other photos. There were additional pics were taken on February 9, the day after the attack, and they are reportedly far more gruesome.

Walk, girl. Just walk away.

Singer Rihanna won’t press charges against Chris Brown for allegedly beating her in Los Angeles on February 8, The Sun claims today. She is also refusing to cooperate with the authorities who are conducting an intensive investigation against Chris, in contrast to her cooperation in the beginning after the assault. An unidentified police source says:

“Rihanna says she doesn’t want to testify against him. She has had a change of heart and doesn’t want the case to proceed.”

Rihanna is an idiot, as she let Chris sweet-talk his way back into her good graces last week by spending some quality time together at P. Diddy’s Miami house. Once an abuser, always an abuser. Ask Tina Turner, girl.

The police, however, may be able to proceed on their own without Rihanna’s help. The police source says that:

“Detectives are still building their case based on what she originally told them and accounts of witnesses. If the DA decides they have enough evidence, they can proceed without Rihanna’s testimony.”

Since California law allows prosecutors to charge an individual with domestic violence, even if the couple reunites, prosecutors in Los Angeles will be asked to decide if the case against Chris is strong enough to proceed without Rihanna’s testimony. A file on the case, including Rihanna’s original statement to police as well as witness accounts, will all be handed to the Los Angeles County District Attorney later this week.

Chris’ arraignment, meanwhile, has been scheduled for tomorrow.

Rihanna is ‘effed in the head, because she’s been calling Chris, and has indicated she wants to take him back. Brainiac. Maybe Ri-Ri’s “big brother” Kanye has promised to be Rihanna’s bodyguard because ALL CAPS WILL TERRIFY CHRIS.

What’s more, the Star says Rihanna is, or was preggers at the time. She reportedly consulted an ob-gyn at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after confiding to close friends that she suspected she was pregnant with Chris’ baby.

Wearing sunglasses and dressed in all black, she appeared nervous and upset. “She was extremely fidgety. She seemed totally uncomfortable,” an eyewitness at the doctor’s office tells Star.

With their relationship already on rocky ground, Rihanna feared a pregnancy could be the last straw and Chris might dump her. The rag says she didn’t have a chance to tell Chris that night before he pounded her up.

Doesn’t princess Ri-Ri have the herpes? The twisted drama promises to continue as long as it’s working in the press. The paps are THRILLED, as life has sucked since the Britney Economy headed south.

Oh, Rihanna. You are a poster child for victims of abuse…complete with all of the co-dependent behavior. Sadly, Ri-Ri has been talking to Chris Brown on the phone, according to the National Enquirer.

“Even after what Chris did to her, Rihanna is crazy about him and she’s forgiven him,” a source close to the leggy beauty told The ENQUIRER.

“They’ve been talking on the phone, and they’ve agreed that once the legal problems are ironed out, they’ll be together. But as far as Rihanna is concerned, she’s already taken Chris back.
“They’ve missed one secret get-together, and now they’ve vowed to meet at a secret rendezvous location outside of Los Angeles.”

An insider added: “Everyone is advising Rihanna to stay away from Chris and concentrate on her career. But she won’t listen. She’s been talking to Chris on the phone, and she’s made it clear she doesn’t want their romance to end.

Sigh. Classic abuse-victim behavior. Gotta go back for more, because he’s promised never to do it again. Pretty tragic, sad news. Let’s hope Ri-Ri has a change of heart.

A photo of Rihanna taken after she was allegedly beaten by Chris Brown has surfaced. TMZ got hold of it through a source…possibly one in the hospital Rihanna was taken to after the incident. Perhaps it was someone in the LAPD who cashed the check. No matter what, it looks heinous and horrifying, and won’t help Chris Brown’s defense at ALL.

Ri-Ri has a battered face with a broken nose, and is heavily bruised and swollen all over. Her lips are bloody and puffy, and it looks like there’s a slit on her left ear where Chris is rumored to have BIT her like he was effin’ Mike Tyson.

All of Rihanna’s friends are gunning for Chris- many have said his career is over because of the alleged assault. One thing’s over for SURE…Chris Brown’s squeaky clean reputation. Let’s hope that goes double for this relationship.
