Nooooooooo. By now, you’ve surely heard about the rumor that Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together. RiRi denied the allegations earlier this month, claiming they were just friends. Because, you know, getting back together with someone who beat the crap out of you usually doesn’t look good in the public eye. But now it seems the two have thrown all caution to the wind, as evidenced by an Instagram photo Rihanna posted last night. You can check it out by clicking here!
Uh, I mean at this point nothing about these two surprises me. She seems determined to wind up with him no matter how much the public objects, so I guess there’s really no reason for anyone to do so. What does confuse me, however, is this photo. What is going on here?? More specifically, how the heck is Brown sitting? His body parts look all out of place! Did RiRi pull a badass move and snap his neck or something? I am so very confused. [via Huffington Post]
What do you think of this photo?

It looks like she’s just straddling a pile of random body parts. And one of those body parts looks like a dog foot.

I saw this.. I didn’t think it was chris brown. & It looks like Chris Brown is losing hair?
guest
To be honest, I can’t really see anything beyond Rihanna’s butt so it’s hard to judge, lol.
guest
It’s not the public’s choice who she fucks.

Awkward looking picture.. but people need to stop judging. Maybe he really has changed. True, maybe he’ll snap back to his old ways, but can we stop fucking judging people by their past? I’ll give you an example.. my dad used to beat my mum. She says that she deserved it, to justify it, but she was kind of a crazy bitch.. She would beat him & after a certain extent, he got rough with her. The problem? He was an alcoholic, & so was she, & when they got drunk.. shit got crazy.
All mum’s friends told her to leave him, & one day she got serious about it & told him if he didn’t change his drinking habits, she was going to walk out the door with us & never come back. It took him awhile to finally change his ways & learn to keep his hands to himself, but these days he’s docile. He’s learned how to keep his temper. He’s changed.
I know how it feels to want to exert power over something through violence. I know what it’s like to want to hit someone smaller & weaker than you very, very badly. I know what it feels like to have that rage bubble inside of you until you feel like you want to explode & take everyone out with you. And it is WAY more difficult to control than most people think. Now, I’m not making any excuses for Chris, because there is no excuse for losing control like that.. but when you do, the only thing you can do is try to make that person forgive you and change yourself. & that’s so very difficult to do when everyone thinks you’re scum & that you deserve to be exiled to a desolate island because you made a mistake.
If they get back together, there’s something there the rest of us can’t judge. & if he does it again, he deserves to be judged for it.. but he doesn’t deserve to become the mistake he made, unless he continues to do it. & if Rihanna is willing to take that chance, who the fuck is anyone to judge?

@Lost__in_my_mind
people are not judging him for his past but for his actions ever since this happened, up to this day. sure sure the whole ”don’t judge!” still stands… but it has NOTHING to do with it being in the past and everything to do with the fact that this has been constant.

So the next time he beats the crap out of her–hopefully he won’t, but you never know–I’m wondering how much sympathy she’s going to get. Just wondering.

@prettyinprinciple@xanga - It was. She @ his username on IG.
guest
that’s a very Odd looking photo and you’re right his body parts do look all out of wack. mayb its Photoshopped? Publicity stunt?
guest
@Erika_Steele@xanga - Exactly. Why should the public opinion affect who she’s with?
When did people forget that abusive relationships are hard to leave? On less of a grand scale, I was on and off with a guy who was terrible for me, yet I couldn’t leave him, and she is stuck in the same situation. Who gives a fuck about society’s persuasion, she needs some real help.

When you have the kind of influence Rihanna has, you have to be responsible about it. There’s a message she is sending out to young girls who adore her – an abusive man can change. Chris Brown shoved Rihanna’s head into a window. He punched her in the eye, then continued to hit her over and over again, so hard that her mouth filled with blood. If you really think someone capable of this can completely change, you’re ignorant. And yes, she does need help.

I like him with Karrueche Tran better!

@youexistedtome@xanga - this has been constant? Are you friggin kidding me? He hasn’t laid a hand on her since she left him (as far as we know, anyway) & obviously isn’t hurting her now, so how the eff is it constant?
guest
@articulate_silence@xanga - I think people who haven’t been there don’t get it. I actually wasn’t even thinking about that aspect of an abusive relationship. I was thinking more along the lines of the responses calling her a role model (don’t get me started on how she is not a role model) and she should conduct herself to higher standards. I was just thinking she is a human being and her life choices aren’t up for public vote just because she is a public figure.

If you’ve ever listened to her music, and if her songs are any indication of her real feelings, then you know she likes it rough and is excited by pain. Not at all surprised here. There’s a masochistic side to her that apparently Chris Brown fulfills very well. He’ll probably kill her one day, and I have no idea if I’ll feel any sympathy for her if he does because this seems to be the kind of “love” she is willing to risk her life for. I mean, rough sex is one thing, but rough sex with someone who can’t control their temper is like playing Russian Roulette. She’s had enough time to really analyze her feelings and why she is so attracted to this guy in spite of his anger issues. She isn’t in a position to feel trapped or dependent on him for anything so I’m not giving her the “out” of having Stockholm syndrome. This seems like something that is common to a lot of young celebrities – risk-taking behavior as a result of having too much, too soon, and being bored because everything comes too easy and nothing is really out of reach to them. Whatever, RiRi. Enjoy yourself.

@Erika_Steele@xanga - No I completely agree! The second bit was a general comment, mostly cause I’m tired of the attitude people seem to have of “Oh they can just leave whats the big deal, they are stupid,”. I don’t understand the role model thing at all – I like to hope that that few people truly see her that way.
