The entertainment world is still buzzing about the recent incident involving popular 21-year-old R&B songstress Rihanna and her boyfriend, equally popular R&B star- 19-year-old Chris Brown. He allegedly beat her up, after an argument, causing injuries to her face. Although Rihanna has been mum so far, letting her publicists make statements on her behalf, a police lab photo of her surfaced on an online gossip website, showing how extensive her injuries were.
Rumors are that the beautiful young music artist is pining for her violent boyfriend and might even be considering trying to reconcile with him, despite the understandable protests from her friends and family members.
One has to wonder if this attack was only a one time deal or if there have been other attacks in the past that weren't disclosed. Even if it was Brown's first time doing this, it is one time too many. Though he has apologized publicly, chances are this abuser's career will take a nosedive.
Rihanna should learn from Tina Turner, who put up with ex-spouse Ike's physical abuse for years. After finally having the courage to escape from him,Turner emerged triumphant.
Let's hope Rihanna gets out of this toxic relationship while she's still young!
