Chris Brown allegedly assaults Rihanna

I wasn't planning on saying anything about this, because no one really knows what's going on or what's actually true. What we do know is that Chris Brown was arrested Sunday evening and has allegedly assaulted a woman. Though her identity has not been confirmed, sources are claiming that it is indeed his girlfriend, Rihanna.

First off, it's sad that what was supposed to be a great weekend for them both has turned into such a disaster. Rihanna was set to open the Grammys last night and both artists were nominated for multiple awards. If these allegations turn out to be factual, Chris Brown's career is over. I don't think there's any getting around that. And if that happens, he brought it upon himself.

In my attempts to find out more about the situation, I'm sad to say I stumbled upon too many comments from random people to the tune of "Rihanna got what she deserved." I am extremely bothered and I figured I'd let it off my chest, so to speak, and maybe I could get back to sleep tonight. Because these people are celebrities, I can understand feeling like their situation is removed from reality in some way. No one, however, deserves domestic abuse. This is not another wacky celebrity event that the world will parody and laugh about for weeks. There is no humor involved here, so your jokes are beyond inappropriate. I don't care how you may feel about Rihanna's songs or image, you're scum if you can express concern over Chris Brown's career instead of her well being. Hopefully, it will come to light that there was a misunderstanding, or it wasn't Rihanna at all. But, for now, I'm just ashamed to see such cold comments from so many people.

Update: It has been confirmed that it was in fact Rihanna that Chris Brown assaulted. Photographic evidence was taken at the scene and Rihanna's bruises are said to have been 'horrific.' This really rocks my world. It just shatters my view of the kids of my generation and their impact on pop culture.

Oh yeah, and people are still scumbags. Chris Brown deserves every thing he gets. I hope he's brought to justice quickly.
