Chris Brown Arrested For Alleged Rihanna Assault

February 8th, 2009 by Castina

Chris Brown has turned himself in to Los Angeles Police in connection with a domestic violence felony battery incident in Los Angeles early Sunday.

Chris being investigated for an incident that occurred this morning near Hancock Park in L.A.

An unidentified woman, reported to be the singer’s girlfriend, Rihanna, called 911 and claimed she got into a fight with the singer and he attacked her. When officers arrived, they found the victim, but Chris had already left the scene.

“He turned himself in around 7 p.m. to one of our stations and is being interviewed by detectives now,” LAPD officer Karen Smith said in a statement.

The 19-year-old R&B star was booked; bail was set at $50,000.

Police won’t identify the victim, but both Chris and Rihanna pulled out of Sunday’s Grammy Awards at the last minute.

Hitting any woman can never be acceptable. if he has done this then it’s too bad for him.

In my opinion, it just doesn’t seem to add up!

He has a very clean image with his fans and professionally. It just seems a little strange ~ maybe Rihanna is crazy! Maybe he wanted to break it off with her and she caused her own injuries. Girls can be crazy!!!

Further more nothing has been confirmed aside from the alligations and he deserves to be proven guilty before we assume he is!

I honestly can’t believe that Chris Brown would do such athing, he seemed like such a nice guy that knew his limits. If this is true WOW….now I know that u can’t really judge a person on what u just see. Chris Brown should really feel ashamed about what he did, because I recall him saying that his mother went through abuse, and he would never do anything like that to a woman, but there he is contradicting himself.

what if she gave him aids? then i think it would be acceptable for chris brown 2 kick the shit out of her….

i want to know why he hit her. to me no woman deserves to be hit for no reason BUT if she gave him a reason like hitting him he had every right. If a woman hits a man she better be willing to fight or take whats coming or she should keep her hand to herself.

Anybody…be it a man or woman who feel that a person deserves to be beat, I will pray for your soul. There is no reason…none except in self defense (being that you are in mortal danger of death). Chris, you need to fez up to what you did and not go the route of trying to discredit Rhi….cause that makes you look like them other pigs that feel women deserve what they get. You have a mother and sister…..would you think it is ok to be beat……oh I forgot….you learn from the best your Dad. I thought you were better than him but I guess you aren’t. In this day and age where Black men are trying to change the persona of domestic violence and better role models for other young black men…you fail miserably. I see this isnt the first time…..man you don’t deserve another chance especially when your woman Rhi had given you that. Enough said.

It was smart of chris to turn himsel in but he shouldnt have hit her at all in the first place. now nobody is going to want to listen to his music and he is going to lose all his fans.i dont understand why he would do something like this sure she made him mad but still you should never hit girls no matter what they do to you.i feel bad for rihanna.so i hope rihanna gets well soon and good luck to chris.
