“He got a booty call. He got a text. Rihanna saw it and she got upset. They started to argue. She got out of the car. He wanted her to get back in, so he grabbed her. She pulled away. That’s when she’s told people he hit her.”

Rihanna has reportedly been receiving calls from Chris, sources say.

“Chris has been trying to contact her. So far she hasn’t taken his call, her family is on their way to be with her. She has some close girlfriend looking after her.”
