This is the R’N’B singer Rihanna, photographed hours after being beaten by ex boyfriend Chris Brown. I have never been a fan of her music but feel a great deal of sympathy here. Whatever the reasons behind the attack it was unjustified, unwarranted and something that no person should ever have to experience.
In the past I have always said that celebrities are often given light sentences when faced with a crime, two examples are George Michael and Pete Doherty’s constant let off’s with drug charges. But in the case of Chris Brown the judge has to throw the book at him.
He, via Facebook, has apologised to his fans saying that during this difficult period he wants to be able to be left alone and find god. Oh Fuck off. Your nothing but a low life woman beater and you will always be remembered for being so.
I now want the Hollywood machine to start shunning him. Fellow peers must come out and defend Rihanna as a friend and as a woman and Chris Brown must be exposed and charged with the highest account of assault.
I read that Rihanna’s albums have rocketed in sales from the publicity, but nothing will ever replace the feeling of being brutally attacked by this low life thug.
In a moment of madness Chris Brown lost his love, his career and his respect.
A huge price to pay in the ever increasing issue that is Domestic Violence.
