Wow!!!!!alot of you sisters need serious counseling, scary! How dare you bring up her heritage to justify her being beat & left with a black eye! Young Love!??? This is why our young girls are confused & stay in these harmful realationships. Because DUMB women are are saying,"well honey, what did you do, or say?" Are you crazy? Are we so desperate for men that we will stay by any means nessacary? Ok, her CD is coming out. So what!!! Listen to her message. This happened months ago, & it takes time. Months of counseling & intropection to heal & gain the strength to admit it happened, let alone speak out. She is brave. Alotof you should be ashamed of your comments. I hope you do not have children!!!!!!!!

Listen people...the message is this: Parents teach your sons AND daughters to keep their hands to themselves. I'm not an advocate for violence on any level but Rihanna has admitted in the past that she's had fights with her brother...this is not behavior of an innocent victim. A victim yes but innocent...Heck No! But this is what happens when we allow our kids to live as adults. She's 20 and he 19 at the time of the incident and yet they are galavanting all around the world like grown folk. I don't care how much money they make they are kids and parents need to parent.
