Singer Chris Brown has provided an unusual alibi in a rape case. “I hate myself for this”: Chris Brown spoke about his stormy relationship with Rihanna and the reasons for their constant fights Who beat Rihanna in the car
The hero of Sergei Mikhalkov in “Cruel Romance” said: “The less we love a woman, the more she likes us.” If you read the pitiful stories on women's forums, it becomes clear that this is indeed the case. A man drinks - she loves him, hits him - loves him, walks - loves him, doesn’t pay attention - loves him too. Rihanna is a strong, ambitious and independent girl, but even she could not overcome herself and get rid of her feelings for a man who once treated her simply horribly. I think everyone guessed that we were talking about Chris Brown. In an interview for Oprah Winfrey's new show Oprah's Next Chapter, Ree unpleasantly surprised many fans by saying that she still loves her ex Chris Brown:
“We love each other and always will. And I don't want any changes. It may seem illogical to some that after everything that happened, I still love Chris. But I won’t put on a poker face and say that my feelings are my own business. Yes, I love him"
Then, in 2008, when the Barbadian singer, who began to rapidly gain momentum, began a relationship with an equally young rapper, few would have thought that there would be such deep love (on Rihanna’s part, at least). Rea and Chris hung out together, vacationed together, supported each other in creativity - the logical conclusion of their relationship would have been a wedding, if not for the outrageous incident that occurred on February 8, 2009. Then the fact that Rihanna was beaten by Brown was made public, and the singer was taken to the hospital. The rapper did not deny his guilt and did not make excuses, which brought down streams of hatred from the huge fan club of the Barbadian star.
Proof
There were showdowns, there was a trial. Brown was sentenced to the nth number of hours of correctional labor and was prohibited from approaching Rihanna within the nth number of meters. In July 2012, six months after the incident, Chris posted a two-minute video on YouTube in which he expressed regret about what happened. Subsequently, while appearing on various shows, Brown tore his shirt on his chest and emotionally talked about his feelings for Rihanna, probably hoping that she would forgive him after all.
Rihanna did not comment on Brown's statements, but at the same time closely followed them. However, she made one attempt to build happiness with another - in 2011 she had a short-term affair with baseball star Matt Kemp. However, a few months later, Rihanna quietly and peacefully broke up with him. Brown by that time had already cooled down in his ardent desire to return Ri-Ri and began dating a miniature mulatto named Carrieche, however, this romance was also not very long

Earlier this year, Rihanna opened up the conversation about her personal life by flirting with rapper Drake (they were filmed in a nightclub). And then, as they say, the ice broke. On May 12, while at the same party as Drake, Brown attacked him, not verbally, but with his fists. The artists got into a fight and Chris then proudly showed off the mark on his chin he received in the fight for the honor of his ex-girlfriend
This affected Rihanna more than passionate speeches on YouTube. This summer, the press repeatedly wrote that Rihanna and Chris Brown were vacationing at the same resort and secretly having fun together. And based on Rihanna’s revelations to Oprah, she has long forgiven her “ex” fighter. As they say, you can’t argue against love. It seems that very soon we will hear about the touching reunion of these two obstinate and wayward artists
It all started back in 2005, when Chris Brown was not yet so self-confident and daring, and Rihanna looked like a diligent college student.
At the age of 16, the rapper released his debut album "Chris Brown", which sold 155 thousand copies in just 7 weeks. At this time, at the end of 2005, Rihanna also gained popularity and wide fame not only in America, but also abroad. The young singer’s career is going very well.
Young and ambitious, this couple was not yet in the status of lovers, but already felt obvious sympathy for each other. This is easy to see from the photograph taken during the famous Z100's Jingle Ball event, traditionally held in New York.

In April 2006, Rihanna and Chris Brown were spotted at the 19th Annual Kids' Choice Awards, which is regularly hosted by the children's television channel Nickelodeon.

The friendship of this couple became stronger, and the press began to write about their romance. Rihanna and Chris celebrated the rapper's 18th birthday together at the 40/40 club in New York.

In August 2007, the annual MTV Video Music Awards event took place, where young people looked truly happy.

In February 2008, at a party before the Grammy Awards ceremony, the romance of Rihanna and Chris Brown was no longer a secret to anyone. And the artists themselves did not hide their feelings towards each other, smiling cheerfully and posing for the photographer.
Lovers in February 2008
Rihanna and Chris have repeatedly attended social events together; the 2008 MTV Movie Awards in California and the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles were no exception.

Ironically, three years after Z100's Jingle Ball 2005, Rihanna and Chris Brown attended the event together again, only this time as lovers.

And this photo was taken just one day before Chris Brown was arrested and charged with domestic violence. At the pre-Grammy party, the couple looked very joyful, with Rihanna literally beaming with happiness. There seemed to be no signs of trouble.

A few years later, Rihanna admitted in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that she was still in love with Chris and had long forgiven him for the past. The beating of Rihanna became one of the most scandalous events of 2009, but having survived the shame and humiliation, the singer is ready to move on and fight for her love. The feelings are still strong, and the performer herself is determined. Recently, Rihanna was very upset because Chris Brown ignored her company while relaxing in a nightclub.
Remembering the last MTV Video Music Awards 2012 and the passionate kiss of Rihanna and Chris Brown, I want to hope that this couple will really be together. Is attempt number two possible?
Rihanna, one of the most popular and successful pop stars in the world, never ceases to amaze the press and her fans with her relationship with Chris Brown.
After Chris Brown beat Rihanna 4 years ago, it seemed that there could be no talk of any reconciliation. Let's remember that Brown, condemned by everyone, was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm and sentenced to 5 years probation and 180 hours of community service.
And what do we see now? Rihanna is publicly defending a man who has caused her a lot of problems in the past.
Of course, for fans, the couple’s story is an example of all-forgiving love, but the scandal-hungry press is tirelessly looking for some kind of catch.
Mr. Brown, who recently turned 24, was not immediately welcomed by the public with open arms after such a spectacular scandal. Since 2011, Chris and Rihanna have been unobtrusively preparing fans for their possible reunion throughout the year: rumors in the press, hints in songs, or even ambiguous behavior at some event.
Old photos of Rihanna and Chris Brown
One of the first signals of an emerging reconciliation was Rihanna’s video for the song “We Found Love,” released at the end of 2011, where she first flirts and then fights with a guy very similar to Brown. The clip caused bewilderment among listeners, and for the first time made them think that all was not lost between Chris and Rihanna. Then, a few months after the Grammy Awards, where Mr. Brown won the award for best R&B album, the stars took to Twitter to share links to remixes of their songs, in which the two of them took part. The story developed further last summer: first on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Rihanna admitted that she had forgiven Mr. Brown, and then there was this seemingly unplanned hug - or maybe there was an unnoticed kiss? - during the MTV Video Music Awards, when the singer returned to her seat.
Here's the opposite example:
On February 14 of this year, in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Rihanna finally confirmed the information about the resumption of her relationship with Chris Brown, saying - as if preparing for attacks:
Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake! And I'll figure it out myself!
And in an interview with the New York Times magazine, Mr. Brown said:
Public opinion has never influenced what decision I will make in a given situation. My choice is guided solely by the desire to improve myself both in my own eyes and in the eyes of my fans.
New photos of the couple
Whatever one may say, Rihanna is one of the most successful pop singers at the moment: in the United States she has already sold about 63 million songs, and the number of hit songs in her performance has reached the same level as those performed by Madonna or the Supremes. According to preliminary estimates, her annual income is about 53 million US dollars, and hordes of fans around the world want to listen to her songs regardless of what is happening in her personal life - so it is understandable why Rihanna and Chris care little about the opinions of others about their reconciliation.
Rihanna and Chris Brown have finally broken up
The memories are still alive of how in 2010 and 2011 Rihanna left for Chris Brown, having previously broken up with Drake. Now that a bitter fate has befallen her relationship with Chris, the sizzling pop diva appears in public accompanied by Drake! Has she rekindled her old romance? Sources tell HollywoodLife.com that Rihanna was just making sure that Chris Brown wasn't looking to meet her at the BET Awards.
“It was probably the best way to get him not to show up and she [Rihanna] thinks she acted like an adult,” the source added.
However, as it turned out, Rihanna and Drake are not romantically involved, despite the fact that the young people have been friends for a long time. Rihanna is just trying to make Chris jealous and rekindle their romance. Drake recently shared his thoughts on Rihanna and Chris Brown with GQ magazine. In his opinion, all this “will end badly.”
If Rihanna really wants to win Chris back, then the methods she is resorting to do not seem to be effective. Most recently, the star published a message on her Twitter in which she extremely aggressively insults her ex-boyfriend. Rihanna doesn't say his name, but that's not necessary to understand who she's addressing. This behavior of the star is surprising, to put it mildly - recently, on the third of July, the star said that she respects Chris and is simply trying to get him out of her head. “She wishes him well, but is no longer interested in his life,” said a reliable source.
The hero of Sergei Mikhalkov in “Cruel Romance” said: “The less we love a woman, the more she likes us.” If you read the pitiful stories on women's forums, it becomes clear that this is indeed the case. A man drinks - she loves him, hits him - loves him, walks - loves him, doesn’t pay attention - loves him too.

While Western media are actively discussing rumors about the pop singer and her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, unpleasant details of their trial have leaked to the press. Let's remember that three years ago, on the night before the Grammys, Chris brutalized RiRi.
Some fragments of documents provided by the police can be shocking. On that fateful day, the conflict between Rihanna and Chris began in the car. Brown was driving, with Rihanna sitting next to her in the passenger seat. She took the cell phone from her companion and read a text message from the woman with whom Brown had previously had an affair.
After a verbal altercation, Chris stopped the car and tried to forcibly pull the singer out of it, but she was wearing a seat belt. Unable to get Rihanna out of the car, he hit her in the left eye. Then he got behind the wheel and drove off, continuing to beat his girlfriend. Blood came from Rihanna's mouth, which splattered her clothes and the interior of the car. Brown looked at the singer and promised to continue beating her when they got home. Then she dialed her personal assistant’s number on her mobile phone, but she didn’t answer the phone, so RiRi left a voice message:
I'm driving home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.
As soon as Rihanna hung up, Brown shouted:
You just did the stupidest thing in your life! And now I have to kill you!
Chris then continued to hit the singer, who was protecting her face with her elbows. When she tried to dial the number of her other assistant, the man took the phone from Rihanna and threw it out the window. Then the artist grabbed Brown's cell phone, but before she could make a call, Chris struck her in the head, then pulled the girl closer to him and began hitting her in the ear.
Then the man stopped the car and continued to hit Rihanna on the head, and then began to choke her. RiRi then pulled her knees to her chest and began trying to push Brown out of the car, which angered him even more. Chris began to hit the girl on the legs with such force that she began to scream loudly and call for help. Then the man stopped beating Rihanna and fled the crime scene, and bystanders immediately called 911.
Rihanna contacted the police with a complaint against her ex-lover. As a result, Chris was recognized, he took public responsibility for his behavior, underwent a year of psychotherapy and completed 1,400 hours of community service. But, it seems, no matter what, Rihanna and the repentant Chris cannot live without each other: there have long been rumors that the former lovers are trying to renew their relationship and even exchange love confessions on Twitter.

He found himself at the center of another high-profile scandal, which threatens to end in prison for the 29-year-old performer. The story began in May, when Brown, who until recently was considered one of the most promising musicians in the United States, was sued by a woman, whose name was not disclosed by the investigation.
She accused the star of organizing a party at which she was raped by two of the singer's acquaintances - a guy (a certain Lowell Grissom) and an unnamed girl. According to her, the incident occurred at the beginning of 2017: at the beginning of the event, the plaintiff’s mobile phone was taken away, after which they began to offer her hard drugs.
A little later, Brown's girlfriend allegedly took the woman and several other partygoers into a separate room, barricaded the door, and then forced her to orally satisfy Grissom, who was in the locked room. Next, the girl, as stated in the investigation materials, forcibly threw the victim onto the bed and again forced her to have oral sex - this time for her own satisfaction.
When the woman was left alone for a while, she went to the shower, but soon Grissom came there and raped Brown’s guest twice - and only after that the victim managed to leave the ill-fated party.
As soon as it received publicity, the case began to rapidly gain momentum. Already in early July, there was a high-profile arrest of the performer immediately after his concert in Florida: law enforcement officers were waiting for the musician with a warrant right next to the stage. Brown spent some time in the police station, and then he was released on bail of $2 thousand - and the artist was able to continue his concert tour across the United States.
Already in August, new details of the scandalous story appeared - media became known, exactly how Brown plans to build his defense in the rape case. It turned out that the singer explains his own innocence in the incident by being very busy at the time the crime was committed.
According to the musician, at the very moment when the plaintiff was forced to endure the bullying of his friends, Brown was “having sex and also watching pornographic videos,” knowing nothing about what was happening in his house.
Based on this, the artist’s lawyers asked the investigators to remove his name from the case - the star’s defense emphasizes that the victim never directly accused Chris of rape and assault, speaking only about his indirect involvement in the incident. The police are in no hurry to satisfy the requests of Brown's lawyers: the investigation into the case is still ongoing, and the singer is involved in it as one of the accomplices in the crime.
Moreover, if the court finds the artist guilty, he faces a prison sentence, the duration of which may be contributed by the performer’s past “merits.”
Perhaps the most famous story of this kind involving Brown is the high-profile beating of singer Rihanna in 2009, with whom the musician was in a relationship. According to rumors, the conflict between the young artists (the Barbadian-American woman was only 21 years old at the time) began after the girl saw a message from his ex-girlfriend on her boyfriend’s phone.
The couple was in the car at that moment, and Brown, trying to force Rihanna to leave the car, punched her in the face, after which he returned to the wheel and continued beating the girl as he drove. The performer also threatened Rihanna with violence and even allegedly tried to strangle his friend when he realized that she was making attempts to report what was happening to the police. As a result, Brown abandoned the car in fear and fled the scene of the crime, leaving the bleeding girl alone.
The artist managed to avoid prison largely thanks to good lawyers and the decision to independently appear at the police station and confess to his crime - for beating his girlfriend, Chris was sentenced to 180 hours of community service and five years probation.
Interestingly, a few years later, Rihanna returned to Brown, accepting his apology. However, later the couple broke up again - fortunately, without assault.
A similar scandal happened with the singer in 2016, when a certain Lisien Gutierrez contacted the police, saying that Brown had beaten her at one of the private parties. As the girl explained, the artist hit her in the eye, enraged that Lisien ignored the request not to film him. The musician’s defense, however, managed to hush up this matter too.
“I hate myself for this”: Chris Brown spoke about his turbulent relationship with Rihanna and the reasons for their constant fights
Chris Brown and Rihanna's relationship ended about 8 years ago, but the echoes of their whirlwind romance can still be heard. The musician recalled the affairs of the past and explained the reasons for their constant quarrels and fights in the new documentary Chris Brown: Welcome To My Life.
The romance between Chris Brown and Rihanna has always been full of misunderstandings and jealousy, which flowed into a stormy showdown with the use of physical force. According to Chris, sometimes he and Rihanna even discussed the need to stop fighting:
There always came a point where we said, "What are we doing? If I go on stage with my lip scratched and broken, I'll have to say I fell."
According to Brown, the cause of most of the fights was Rihanna's jealousy. The situation reached its climax in February 2009. Chris was approached at a Grammy party by a woman with whom he had previously had a sexual relationship. Rihanna suspected that it was Chris who invited her to the event, and a quarrel ensued between them. After the party, Rihanna and Chris were sitting in the car together, and at that moment a message from this girl came to the singer’s phone.
She started throwing my phone, screaming that she hated me, and hitting me. I tried to prove to her that she was wrong. She tried to start a fight again, and then I hit her with my fist. I broke her lip. When I saw this I was shocked. "Damn it, did I really do this?" She spat her own blood in my face, and this angered me even more... Then she threw the keys out of the car, got out of it, and while I was looking for these same keys, she began to call for help...
This is what Chris' version of events looks like, but the documents attached to the beating case list much more severe beatings: according to the lawsuit, as a result of the incident, Rihanna suffered extensive head injuries and almost lost consciousness. The story ended with Chris receiving five years probation and 1,400 hours of community service. Photos of Rihanna with a broken face are still actively “walking” on the Internet and, according to Chris, serve as an eternal reminder to him of how cruel he can be.
When I see them, I don't understand how this happened. I think: it wasn't me. Not me. I hate this day
Chris says in the documentary.
Rihanna herself did not remember the events of those years for a long time. Now the singer is happy in a relationship with Hassam Jamil, a businessman from Saudi Arabia. Rihanna's boyfriend is deputy president and vice chairman of the board of directors of Abdul Latif. The company is owned by his family and is one of the largest in the world. The Hassam family owns the rights to distribute Toyota cars in Saudi Arabia. According to Forbes magazine in 2016, they are worth an estimated $1.5 billion and are the 12th richest Arabs in the Middle East.
