| WTF is wrong with Rihanna? Just wondering out loud. I guess she doesn't realize what a terrible role model she is for all those young girls who look up to her. She could have been a great advocate against domestic violence, but now... Wasn't it four years ago that POS beat her? And he was put on probation for five years? Yet he got in multiple fights with other people, why is he not in jail for violating his probation?

| This is something I will NEVER understand....why a woman will allow a significant other to raise a hand against her. and she is allowing this to happen to her. |

| I know it is so sad. I have to say I never realized how complicated the cycle of violence could be until taking classes about it with my nonprofit job. She needs some education...

| Having never experienced it myself I think you are so right about the cycle! They beat (literally and figuratively) women down so much they lose all self worth. It doesn't matter what she looks like, how much money she has, he's obviously made her feel like she isn't worth being with someone better. I agree she could have been such an advocate speaking out against domestic violence

| It's following the traditional pattern, isn't it? Beating, doctors, separation, reconciliation and sadly, usually keeps happening over & over. I've heard so-called experts say it is a kind of co-dependency and that both can be drawn to the other. Apparently she's not very strong in her sense of self and he likes and needs a woman like that. He would never ask a strong, self-assured female out and she probably wouldn't go out with a nice, old-fashioned type guy who opens doors and treats her like a princess. Well, let's hope this thug can keep from beating her to death the next time she crosses the line with him.

| Oh yeah, it's a victim mentality, that they deserve it. It must be SO hard to basically grow up in the spotlight and sometimes one person can be your buoy, sadly for her, it must be him. If he is her lifeline then the pattern may never be broken. or take a long long time of therapy and counseling for her to realize she deserves better. Ah well... she's got the money to 'fix her mentality'.

| I think it's just attention. It's got us talking about 2 people who's music I haven't heard in years. I know more about her than I wish I did, and I'm not a fan of her at all!

♥Love My 3 Furrbutts♥ Donating Member | I am a survivor of domestic violence. It took me 20yrs to break away from my abuser....had I not gotten out, there is no doubt in my mind that I would not be here right now. These 'men' never change IMO the cycle continues and gets worse, they all say I'm sorry I will change and they never do....sadly some do not make it out at all.....I am now an advocate against domestic violence through a support group at my work, its amazing how many are going through this cycle, and don't know where to go for help or where to go if they do manage to leave. Rihanna is still trusting that this man will or has changed....for her sake I hope so...I so hope she does not become another statistic.

| I'm assuming you watched the Grammys. Yeah....the song was beautiful, and I could feel her passion. but it was eerie if you take it as an abused woman begging her abuser to stay with her. I don't know. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me....I hope he changes and knows how lucky he is that she gave him another chance. However just this week he was in trouble once again saying a paparazzi made him get in a car crash, or something like that. Then he's in a fight with whoever this Frank Ocean guy is...tsk tsk.

Point being, if you are on FORMAL probation (meaning you have to check in with your probation officer bc of a felony, not like informal probation like having a DUI misdomeanor--looking at you LiLo you had your chance), if you are an regular person and get in a fight or have an issue that is a violation, you go to jail, period! Why is CB not back in jail? Marc Garagos again? Wish we were all that rich huh?

| I am also a survivor of domestic violence and lived that life for 8 long, grueling years. I do believe, if I hadn't gotten out when I did, I would have ended up dead. I can't imagine anyone, after getting out of the relationship, ever going back. These creeps don't change...they promise it will never happen again, but it always does. When I went through this, there was not the public awareness that there is now. I truly thought that I had to live with it...I didn't even know I had the option to call the police. I was so ashamed and felt I had to keep it a secret, though people knew from seeing all the bruises. My heart breaks for anyone going through violence like this. There is no defending oneself against a raging, crazed man. I survived it, but have permanent aches and pains as a result of those beatings and torture.

From what I have learned from classes is that just about anyone can get sucked into this because it is a very slow process and an abuser can be very clever, starting with hearts and flowers, isolation, monopolization, exhaustion, and total compliance. (Something like that) I believe I read it takes at least 6 or 7 cycles of abuse for the victim to want to get out. So sad. And, others (like me before) didn't understand the dynamics of entrapment, so we think they are crazy for staying in the relationship. I really do believe that education is the key here.
