As we have recently reported, no one has been able to confirm if Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together. Instead, Chris has been telling people he is a single man, and for the last few months, he’s been spending time with both Rihanna and Karrueche Tran. What is obvious is Chris has managed to at least continue a friendship with both women, but that hasn’t managed to keep the controversy at bay unfortunately. It seems as if the whole “love triangle” has divided people into “Team Chrihanna” and “Team Chrae” and the division has caused both young women to be ridiculed for their relationships with Chris Brown.
Regardless, there is still a sector of people that have expressed that they are more disappointed in Rihanna, an International pop star, for going back to her abuser and “accepting” what appears to be his unwillingness to also cut of his ex girlfriend Karrueche Tran.
The reunion between Chris and Rihanna happened publicly late last year, but people are still expressing their disappointment about the situation as if it’s still fresh.
Actress Lena Dunham has spoken out about the situation in the past, but now she’s speaking out again about the recent reunion between Chris and Rihanna. Lena admits in a recent interview that she follows Rihanna on Instagram, and thinks it’s irresponsible for her to post so many pictures of her smoking weed and spending time with Chris Brown, the man who assaulted her in 2009.
During a recent interview during Alec Baldwin’s podcast “Here’s the Thing,” she says:
“It’s an amazing thing and it’s like, it’s [domestic violence] a platform that you have to take seriously. Which is why sometimes it’s like I used to be really into Rihanna, that pop star, and then it’s like again, I don’t want to ever throw stones from my glass house, but I follow her on Instagram.
“I just think about how many little girls beyond what I could even comprehend are obsessed with Rihanna. Like you know, she left Barbados, she’s had this amazing career, she’s won a Grammy… She’s talented.
“And then she gets back together with Chris Brown and posts a million pictures of them smoking marijuana together on a bed. And it cracks my heart in half in a way that makes me feel like I’m 95 years old.”
Do you agree with Lena’s comments or do you think it’s just time for people to let Chris Brown and Rihanna sort their own lives out in private? Speak on it.
Not everyone wants to be a role model. Why is that so hard for people to understand?
Can’t stand Rih anymore, but why should she try to be a role model when people are still going to drag her for trying? Look how they do Bey! So hey, I don’t blame her. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Hmm…I think Chris and Rihanna have to make their own choices. They are both grown. Like people have to just accept that.
It would be nice for Rihanna to become a role model, but that’s not what she wants to be. I am not Pro Chrihanna, but I believe human beings should have the right to choose if they want to be role models. It’s a hard task to ask of someone, and not everyone is up for it. That’s life.
Rihanna doesn’t want to be a role model because she’s too weak to pull it off. She knows that, accepts that, so I’m not sure why people are still expecting her to become one.
Who is this?
I don’t like RiRi but this Lena chick is a creep.
Let these people be. Hell, I’m getting tired of hearing about them. It’s not even interesting anymore when people post about them being spotted together or “exiting out the studio” at different times. It’s old and people need to move on.
The real question is, why are little girls on Instagram and following Rihanna? WTH?
Who cares what this no name nobody actress thinks?
Let them be. I’m just here to watch the f-ckery that will go down eventually. *grabs popcorn*
What people need to do is stop idolizing these celebrities as if they are Heaven sent. Growing up, my grandmother, mother and aunts were my role models.
If little girls are idolizing Rihanna and obsessing over her, I have to ask where the hell are these little girls parents? Especially since Rihanna’s music isn’t really suitable for anyone under 17/18 years of age. I think her music is hella promiscuious and what she wants to do with her life – portray herself as an over sexed nympho who chooses to do the most for a man who has abused her physically, mentally and verbally, is her business.
Whatever happened to loving an artists MUSIC instead of stalking them and praising them, hating them even for every move they make. This information age is a gift and a curse.
*STANDING OVATION*
