Updates on Chris Brown's Alleged Assault of Rihanna, Now Deadly Weapon Involved
Chris Brown stopped by his hotel a few hours before heading over to Clive Davis' Grammys preparty with Rihanna on Saturday. Just a little less than 24 hours later, he was huddled in the back of an Escalade after posting his $50,000 bail for alleged assault of a woman. We were shocked yesterday when we heard the news the singer had been arrested for an alleged assault and even more surprised and heartbroken when sources said the woman he beat was Rihanna and that there was a deadly weapon involved.
LAPD insiders, who also identify Rihanna as the victim, say the two got into an argument in their car, stepped out as things got heated, and a witness called 911. Chris was no longer at the scene when the police arrived, but the visibly bruised woman identified him as the attacker. There are some rumors that the argument began because Rihanna accused Chris of flirting at the party, but we're still trying not to jump to conclusions. His court date is set for March 5, and we'll continue to update you when we hear more about the situation. Right now we just hope for a speedy recovery for the victim, and our hearts are with her.

Someone should give this little boy a good beltin'!!
1I'd do it if I could..
So sad that he's a woman beater. I'm proud of her for reporting the crime.

I'd shocked and heartbroken if it was any other woman too.
3*I'd be shocked...
4agreed, eveday. The fact that it was Rhianna makes it no worse than if it were some other woman.
5Anyways, WOW is all i have to say at this point. Just.....wow
that's just insane - he should know better than to flirt - but i wonder if it means that there was a bit of alcohol involved that got these 2 to get so upset about things. i hope that it's all resolved quickly and that whatever happens for this couple that they are both ok.
6i thought it was confirmed that the victim was rhiana?
7This is wrong on so many levels. A lot of gossip sites are saying Rihanna gave him Herpes and that's why he went insane. Regardless of what it was hitting a woman makes him the ultimate coward.
8i agree with Eveday
9its like ppl seem to think that it wouldn't be so bad if he beat up a random women other than Rihanna.
Junkies, I don't think people would necessarily be less appalled if it were a random woman persay. It just seems more horrible because he was supposed to be in love with her and in a trusting relationship. Also if it were a random woman, issues of lying and extortion would come into question. You can't imagine why Rhianna would lie, so you have to believe the awful truth.
To think he seemed so sweet with his baby face. This just goes to show you that appearances can be deceiving and you really have to watch out for everybody.
10dayum chris u fool!
11I'm with ylovely — very glad that she reported the crime. That takes a lot of courage, and she definitely did the right thing.
12I'm really shocked- he seemed like a sweet guy!
13up next "chris brown issues apology, enters rehab".
14Its impossible to confirm a victim unless she herself issues the confirmation - assault victims have a right to confidentiality. If it is Rhianna, I'm sure she's taking advantage of that right.
15I think its more heartbreaking because it was Chris' girlfriend. But even if it was another woman (romantically involved with Chris) it would've been just as hard hitting. If it was another woman (not Chris girlfriend) it'd still be horrible but its more heartbreaking because its his girlfriend and we're forced to wonder... Has this been happening for sometime now? Whereas with any one else it probably would've been a one time thing. Not saying one situation is better or worse than the other but I could understand when they say it was heartbreaking to learn that the woman was in fact Rihanna, Chris' girlfriend. Not because she's a celebrity but because she's Chris' girlfriend.
16I never liked Chris Brown and this incident gives me more reason to dislike even more. He's a fking loser.
17they're 19 and 20! A loving and trusting relationship?
"he should know better than to flirt" -- Seriously? Just because you're in a committed relationship you can't flirt with someone else? There is absolutely no excuse for his behavior whatsoever. No matter what he did, even if she hit him, there is no excuse for this and I hope that he gets some serious punishment to set an example.
18this is terrible, he is disgusting to me. he is less than a man for putting his hands on her
19ma heart go's out to chris he needs help oh yeah and rhianna too
20of course rhianna (if in fact the victim) deserves confidentiality, but i thought it was confirmed that she was the victim, and no it does not to be confirmed by her, it could have been told by a publicist or an on looker, a witness.
21While the whole situation is terrible, I'm most worried about this "deadly weapon involved" nonsense. So what is it, he *pistol-whipped* her? That would explain why Rihanna wasn't at the Grammys, those kinds of bruises would be easily visible.
22Now it's been reported that he used a weapon . WTF? Was he high? Dam now he's going to answer to JZ and all his peeps. The fall of Chris Brown right before our eyes. So this thing about herpes might be true. All I know is only 2 things can make a couple turn on eachother. Lies and STDs
23I think no matter what happened to get things end that way between them (which only they really know, no matter how many different versions of the story are gonna be written on the net), violence is not a solution, violence never is a solution!
24I just hope that when in court, he's gonna get the same treatment anyone else, not famous, would get for assaulting someone else.
This is absolutely awful. She needs to get away from that guy.
25Yeah he is not above the law just b/c he can hit a few notes and moon walk. Pssh... Any man who would hit a woman (unless the woman is trying to kill him) is a worthless piece of ___.
26This whole damn thing is a mess...he is the LAST person that would come to your mind as a woman beater...
I guess neveer judge a book by its cover eh
27This whole story is so disturbing. I'm really disturbed by people's comments about how Rihanna must have done something really bad to Chris. How disgusting are you people!
28I just read that there was no weapon involved. They had to put that as the charge for some reason. Its on TMZ.
I hope Riri's okay.
29WOW. And I was just thinking the other day how they make such a cute couple, and how much I like their music. Well I still love Rihanna, but my opinion of Chris has changed.
30I agree with the people who said it seems worse because Rhianna is his girlfriend. Anytime domestic abuse is mentioned it just breaks my heart. If he had just hit some random girl it would still be awful, but now it makes you wonder if this has happened before and just not been reported... Hopefully this will get her out of the relationship.
31Wow. I'm shocked by this news. It seemed so out of blue, until I just read somewhere that Chris Brown's stepfather was abusive to his mother... Seeing that as a child probably has done some "damage" to him.
At any cost, hopefully he gets help and is committed to getting help. And good for Rihanna for reporting it.
32He better hope for his career that this is not true. Never any excuse for domestic violence.
33a damn shame in books. Get him the help that he obviously needs. A man should never put his hands on a woman. Never.
34Ok, so everyone is being pretty hard on Chris. Yes, I agree that violence is not the way to solve anything. However, sometimes people lose it, their temper gets the best of them and they just act out of anger. Now I'm not saying what he did was right, what I am saying is that he is only human. Most of us have the luxury of not having the public eye on us, these stars don't. I feel bad for Rhianna; I wouldn't wish any type of abuse upon anyone. I also feel bad for Chris; he's such an easy-going person that it's hard to imagine what made him flip out. She must have really screwed up for him to lose it like that. He's a great artist and I hope this incident doesn't bring an end to his career. Lets all hope that both were not on drugs or alcohol, and lets hope that they both act like adults and get the help they need.
35^^You've GOT to be kidding me. Okay, so you know Chris Brown intimately enough to say "he's a totally easy going person and Rihanna must've really screwed up to get him mad?" Are you joking?
36"She must have really screwed up for him to lose it like that."
Are you serious
?
37There is nothing on earth that can justify this. Come on.
38
39omg... i always said that rihanna was to beautiful for him... then i thought maybe he`s a nice guy... but nooooow... screwwww him...
40that's just shameful and disgusting, whoever the victim was. I will definitely not be buying any of his music.
41hm this is all so disturbing..i love rihanna since she started singing and I fell really bad for her..
42chris brown = bobby brown
rihanna now that you are young.. go talk to whitney houston...
43"She must have really screwed up for him to lose it like that."
Right, because, the natural reaction is to blame the girl with the broken jaw. People are unbelievable.
44"She must have really screwed up for him to lose it like that"
45NOTHING she could have done should merit her to be hit! Obviously no one will ever really know exactly what happened in their argument or for either one of them to be upset and provoked, but regardless, violence wasn't the solution to the problem.
Are you kidding me kapikani?
46There is no excuse, Most men are not violent, whether famous or not. I am very sad that you seem to think violence is common, that "sometimes people lose it". I have been lucky that a man has never hit me or done anything like that, but it is the norm, not an exception!
And no matter what you do, only someone with serious aggression issues like Mr. Brown will resort to violence.
I do not care if the woman he attacked was on drugs, drunk, gave him herpes, cheated on him or all of the above. NOTHING should provoke a man to hit.
If this something you consider "normal" or "not so uncommon", I highly recommend you seek help for abuse, whether it's you or someone else in such relationship. This is not how most men act and those who act that way need to be punished and scrutinized for the rest of their lives, so they never hurt another woman.
And yes, this better be the end of his career. There are many more talented young guys out there who deserve the money and fame. He can proceed to move over.
I'm still shocked by this.Chris Brown seemed like a nice guy and they seemed like a sweet couple.I wonder what happened and I hope she breaks it off with him.
47This is some crazy stuff. I aint on nobody side on dis one. That girl was wrong to do the do with him knowing she had herpes,and she shouldn'f gave him no dang herpes and he shouln'f put his hands on her. So it goes both ways. But then again idk if this mess is da truth anyways. Basically I don't even matter 2 me I still love both of them like I did before. And wtf I didn't know that she had herpes anywayz.ewwwwwwwww!!!!!
48More props to the mystery woman (whoever she is) for reporting it. Nothing worse than keeping it quiet - doesn't do anyone any good in the long run.
If Chris did go nuts it's just another pointer that looking like butter wouldn't melt is no indication of character or behaviour - and vice versa. You really have to deal with people as they show themselves.
49So sad. So glad she agreed to press charges. Good for her.
