<p>"hris Brown encouraged young fans to vote for him for the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards on the same day that he appeared in front of a California Superior Court facing two felony counts for his alleged attack on girlfriend Rihanna.</p>
<p>On his Myspace page on Thursday, March 5, Brown reached out to fans with a blog posting that urged them to vote for him for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song for “Kiss Kiss.”…</p>
<p>To many critics, Brown’s blog post was an indication that the star may not fully understand the severity of the charges he is facing, or that he simply doesn’t care.</p>
<p>And while Brown, 19, has already lost several endorsements, Nickelodeon, a network dedicated to children’s entertainment, has decided so far to keep Brown on the ballot.</p>
<p>"Now, the police report seems to hint that not only was this not the first time that Brown hit Rihanna, but he also has a long history of violent behavior, including against his own mother.</p>
<p>Whereas the official police report was not yet made public, since investigation is still underway as the case was sent back by the DA for more information, sources from inside the force are telling TMZ that this was definitely not the first time that Rihanna came out injured of a fight with Brown. Apparently, back in December, she was seen with bruises on her neck, which she explained by simply saying that “We broke up again.”</p>
<p>Rihanna reportedly told the police that her relationship with Brown was one abusive and escalating in time, and which had reached to the point where being manhandled was something of a regular occurrence. This means that, while the charge of making criminal threats might not hold water with the DA, a domestic abuse charge will most certainly be made. This would, in turn, mean a lesser offense, but it’s still serious…</p>
<p>To add more fuel to the fire, reports are now coming in saying that Brown has a long history of violent behavior, with police coming over to his hotel room in Miami in 2007 after neighbors complained about loud fighting and broken dishes. As it turns out, Brown was fighting with his mother, it has been pointed out."

<p>"LOS ANGELES - With Chris Brown’s arraignment on charges of assault and criminal threats delayed until April 6, the singer is reportedly back at work in the studio — with Rihanna.</p>
<p>According to E! Online, Brown and Rihanna are working on a duet for the “Kiss Kiss” singer’s next album, which is slated to drop later this year.</p>
<p>Northstarmom: it is amazing and distressing how the pattern nearly always is the same. </p>
<p>As someone else posted earlier, Rihanna needs a parent or relative to get a receivership over her person [yes, I know it is usually difficult to do in spite of Britney] and keep her away from him and get her HELP.</p>
<p>Puts Rihanna’s song “Breaking Dishes” in a whole new light…</p>
<p>“I’m breakin dishes up in here all night
I ain’t gon’ stop until I see police lights
I’ma fight a man tonight, I’ma fight a man tonight”</p>
<p>Not blaming Rihanna, just saying that perhaps this type of violent behavior had been common with Chris Brown & their relationship for a while. Sad, and such a BAD role model for both teen boys and girls.</p>
<p>Call me cynical. I figure the whole thing is just a record company PR stunt to establish street cred for Mr. Brown as a “mature” hip-hop “artist”.</p>
<p>I mean, seriously. Off all the thug rappers being peddled without shame by the record companies for a decade or more, why the sudden surprise over Chris Brown?</p>

<p>I would be the mortgage that what you are guessing is true, and that Rihanna grew up in a family with domestic violence just as Chris already has admitted he did.</p>
<p>People see a picture of the woman and everyone is willing to conclude she did nothing to provoke the attack. Maybe she started it by pointing a gun at Brown and he acted in self defense? Maybe she took a knife and tried to kill Brown? Or maybe she did absolutely nothing but express an opinion that differed from Brown’s view of the world. What is my point? There are so many facts regarding what happened that we cannot conclude whether her reaction is appropriate. There are too many people making too many conclusions based on too few facts.</p>
<p>razorsharp: she pulled a gun so he kept pounding her face, Right. And the police found that gun and hid it so they could charge Chris Brown. Please. The facts are out. The prosecutor is pursuing this because Chris Brown is guilty of a violent assault. Always an excuse of an abuser " I was provoked". She touched his phone and thus she provoked him? Touching his phone excuses his violence? The only thing Rhianna did wrong is take a violent abuser back into her life.</p>
<p>And your posts and the others on this thread sound just like those of the people screaming and yelling (on this board and elsewhere) about how horrible the Duke Lacrosse players were. During the early part of that discussion, I cautioned that we didn’t know all of the details and people were jumping to conclusions. I said let’s wait and hear about the details even though as far as I knew it could very well have been that the players had raped the accuser. As it turned out, they didn’t. I am saying the same here. As I said, maybe Rihanna was busy singing a pretty song and Brown just decided to beat the daylights out of her. If that is the case all you are right. But if she did something extreme (and I gave some examples, however unlikely they may be), it would put a different spin on this case. </p>
<p>swimcatsmom, if you are suggesting I am an abuser, you are a liar and a horrible person and you own me an apology. I don’t even know you but I an assure you that you are more abusive on a daily basis than I am.</p>

Sources tell us the woman who left the three-page text message on Brown’s cell phone is Tina Davis. Davis – who turns 40 this month – was rumored to have had a relationship with Brown when he was 16. Brown and Davis have denied it.</p>
<p>Law enforcement tells us the text message to Brown talked about hooking up later – and it totally … off Rihanna. She slapped and hit him and he then brutally fired back. …"</p>
<p>The court papers were released last week. Here is the search warrant/affidavit. I suppose you could consider it gossip but I think the documents on which the prosecution is making decisions is more than gossip.</p>
<p>The below provides some reasons why Rihanna’s father didn’t fly up from Barbados to support her after she was beaten. It also provides information about why she would choose to be with a man who is violent.</p>
<p>"The eldest of three children, Rihanna and her brothers, Rorrey and Rajad, watched helplessly as their father, Ronald Fenty, spiralled into addiction.</p>
<p>At his lowest he was reduced to scoring drugs on street corners and leaving drug paraphernalia around the house.</p>
<p>“Even as a toddler, I learned that my mum and dad would argue when there was foil paper in the ashtray,” she says.</p>
<p>It got so bad they barely had enough money to eat as Ronald, now 53, desperately sought out his next fix.</p>
<p>During this time, the singer took care of her brothers while mum Monica – now divorced from her dad – worked round-the-clock in accountancy to keep the family…"</p>
