Young superstar Chris Brown seemed to be living a great life on the surface of things. At only the young age of 19 Brown had already produced multiple hits in the industry and shown his versatility as an artist and entertainter. He had also been romantically linked with the beautiful Rihanna for quite some time and the two seemed like an ideal fit for one another.

Behind closed doors, however, things must have been going awry as Brown was recently booked with felony criminal charges last Sunday night after an altercation with Rihanna. The news is shocking to some and ultimately revealing to others. Obviously their was either mounting tension between the two or something huge had to have happened to set Brown off, if indeed the allegations are true.

From the rumors of Rihanna giving Chris herpes to Brown losing a recent endorsement deal, there has been much to say about the whole situation and not much of it has been positive.

After scanning some of the busiest music forums on the net to get a deeper sense of how people the world over feel about the situation, it’s obvious that people are both baffled and upset. From words of harsh criticism to acts of sympathy, read on to see how the everyday public feels about Chris Brown and Rihanna’s recent headline grabbing news…

 

“I hope that this isn’t true because they look so good together, but you know the saying what looks good isn’t always good for you.”

“They should stop spreading rumors of herpes. They had a fight in his lambo after the grammy pre-show. It is not plausible that between the party and the car ride he found out she gave him herpes and then got violent. They did report in the daily news that she was jealous of him checking out other girls at the party. That would explain the fight on the way back to their hotel. This seems more believable. Sensationalized drama is not always the truth.”

“The other reporting sites indicated the ‘visible injuries’ included bites. Who bites? We may never know the full story of what happened that night. The reports indicated that she was still screaming and freaking out at the hospital. I hope neither one of them are getting high, but the whole thing sounds weird and biting just seems sadistic. I’m disappointed.”

“I had the privledge of meeting these two whilst they were on Tour in Australia. They actually looked like they couldn’t stand each other, it was very strange.”

“I wonder if he choked her out while “No Air” was playing in the background”

“Now that you guys at the top of the charts with good endorsements. There is everything that you have to look out for or they will snatch it away from you, If you have to get physical with someone then there is no need to be with that person cause you are only going to get hurt in the end. Stay strong both of you and communicate more relationships are about give and take along with respect for each other and consideration.”

“Actually, I feel sorry for both of them. I also hate all the speculation and judgment I see all over the blogosphere. From what I have seen and read about both of them, both have a history of parental partner or stepparental abuse in their respective families. I also know that some who have unresolved issues tend to manifest in their lives what they don’t resolve. While there is never, ever an excuse for a man to hit a woman OR a woman to hit a man (no one really knows the details about who started the physical abuse here) we have to have compassion for how your past sometimes catches up with your present when you least expect it. Unfortunately, both will face the consequences and not know how they got to here.“

“I don’t know if it’s true but if Rihanna doesn’t come forward very soon then it will look very bad for Mr. Brown. Gotta think she would come forward to protect him if he didn’t do anything.”

“it’s likely over between them, and even if it isn’t, I don’t see her staying with this guy to the point where she capsizes her own career. A sequel to Whitney & Bobby has been put on hold for now.”

“I wonder if Chris’ deadly weapon was an umbrella-ella-ella?!”

“Man, they are saying she has bite marks on her arms? That doesn’t sound very sanitary, not to mention the fact that there are much better places to bite Rhianna than her arm…”

“Saying “Never hit a Woman” is a sexist statement. There are plenty of things a man can do to deserve a beat-down. If a woman does the same she deserves the same. Equality Baby”

“There are two sides to every story”….Chris Brown lived with my son and I in Harlem, 135th st. (but has never acknowledged it since becoming a star). His frist prof. print job with 50 Cent was because I took on my son’s audition…Chris is a beautiful young man. He never showed any violent behavior. So let’s wait to see what really happened. Never hit anyone….We’re all God’s children..We all should stay prayed-up..so evil can’t get in us that day we quit thinking and Mess Up…Much Love.Auntie Johnnie Mae”

“Rihanna should send him (back) to prison, and start making good music, because she HAS the voice to kick butt off all rap/hip-hop “artists””

“As much as I don’t care about celebrities or whatever getting into it, unless Rihanna murdered his son/family member or something…there’s no reason for that kind of stuff. “

“How do we know what rhianna did to provoke him. Alot of woman get in men’s face’s, curse in thier face, slap men in the face, spit at them, talk about thier mother. Then when the man get’s fed up and slap’s her back or hit’s her, It’s like OMG, police, policeeeeee. You see what he did to me??? The law is completely biased toward’s women now a day’s. Not to say there arent some crazy mofo men out there who beat for no reason, but in many case’s its the women who do a lot of sh_T first to provoke the man, then act all innocent like they didn’t do nothing first.”

“I dunno. I’m fully against hitting a woman. The only circumstance is to actually protect your life or someone else. I can’t lie though, I’ve wanted to do it a time or two. But I agree that I can’t say how I’d react with the herpes thing. If she didn’t know she had it that’s one thing. But if she knew, or was cheating and caught it, man I dunno lol.”
