Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together four years after the nasty break up that occurred as a result of Chris Brown’s viscous assault of Rihanna on the night of the Grammys in 2009. Besides the assault, Chris and Rihanna’s romance has also become a target for criticism because he was still spending time with his ex girlfriend Karrueche Tran despite the reunion with Rihanna. But regardless of his many appearances with Karrueche, Rihanna has pretty much decided that she’s going to work things out with Chris and can no longer allow the public’s criticism to get in the way of that. Although Chris seems to have an on and off again relationship with the media, he recently sat down and talked about his relationship with Rihanna to The Mirror while attending Elton John’s AIDS Oscars party.
When it comes to the assault, he says:
“Sometimes you row, you fight, with the one you love and things get said, stuff spirals.
“That night was the deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake. But she loves me — what can I say? I’m forgiven… but, yes, I worked hard for it.”
Chris credits his fans for getting him through such a difficult time in his life:
“I’ve learned a lot since that night and I’ve grown up. I was very young and I took a lot of stuff, fame, for granted.
“I didn’t understand it. The support from those who do know me and the fans, who are incredible, got me through.”
And when it comes to the criticism of his relationship, Chris says it doesn’t really bother him anymore:
“People attack me and criticise me, it happens all the time.
“But they don’t know me, and they don’t know us. It doesn’t bother me anymore.
“Other people can judge us but they don’t know anything.”
In related news, Chris recently confirmed that a new album is on the way. Some speculate that it might drop sometime this year.
Rooting for Chris!
Me too. I’m just not a fan of this relationship. As long as he wins in his career, I guess it doesn’t really matter who he dates.
I think Chris still doesn’t get it. The public criticizes him because he still exemplifies anger and violence while still claiming the he’s changed. I hope he gets counseling and Rihanna goes with him. They are both damaged and both need some damn help.
I don’t think Chris is a bad person. I just think he has some issues. But considering what he experienced when he was kid, can anyone be surprised? People in the business always say how great he really is and I believe there’s some truth to that when so many people keep saying the same thing. I don’t excuse what he did, I just think Rihanna never told the whole truth. I wish him the best.
“I just think Rihanna never told the whole truth.” < She didn't. And that's why I'm giving her the side eye now. She had ample amount of time and opportunity to tell people she hit his a-s first and she didn't. So she can mess me with all this "I love him" BS. She would have told the whole story if she "loved him."
Chile please. Even Rihanna said you’ve BEEN violent to her before that night. I don’t think you’ve changed when you’re still fighting and throwing tantrums. But that’s Rihanna’s face, not mine. #shrugs
Meh, Chris is cool but he’s lying. He definitely cares what people say about him and his relationship. That’s why he’s still off Twitter/IG and had all those breakdowns on Twitter, and threw chairs out the window at GMA. Rihanna cares too, which is why she tries so hard to act like she doesn’t. They both need counseling and need to learn how to keep their hands off each other when the arguments happen.
Oh I thought Karrueche’s stans said he would NEVER claim Rihanna in an interview. LOL!!!!
LOL yep! Now they are trying to say it’s fake…umm nope! It’s on the The Mirror’s website too! #YallMad
Wait, they are saying it’s fake? Reputable news organizations have already confirmed that interview happened. Kae’s stans are looking desperate right now. Just be happy Kae is free from the drama and let Chris and Rih be.
Yep he finally did it…Kind of. Damm, is this guy lucky or what? He gets to have another “open” relationship. He gets to be with Ri and…Keep his Ex on the side….Run Kae before the punches start flying….LOL
They both need to get over the fact that people will always have their opinions. That’s life. It doesn’t matter if you’re famous or not, someone will have something to say about what you do. But in the meantime, Chris needs to stop giving the media ammunition with all the fights and ignorant outbursts. And it’s that simple.
I think I’m over them both. They keep saying people are judging them but they keep throwing their relationship in everyone’s faces. They act like they are in high school. Be together and sit the hell down somewhere. I can tell that their fans are young as hell the way they get so excited from their IG flossing. Smh.
LOL if Chris didn’t care what people thought, I wouldn’t be able to find all his Twitter rants on Google…
We can all give our opinions, but it all has to play itself out. I just want their immature a-ses to stop with all the IG antics. That sh-t is lame. I don’t see grown couples do that, aren’t they both in their mid 20s? The hell?
Well alright then Chris. He’s claiming her now. I’m not a Chrihanna stan, but I’m just like it is what it is. I just don’t feel like we need to hear about their every move.
Agreed. Their relationship isn’t my cup of tea but I’m grown so of course it isn’t. Hopefully things won’t end up violent again.
I still don’t like this relationship!
Team breezey. Alrighty then. Enuff said…
While I don’t condone domestic violence I feel like this is getting excessive. Just leave the boy alone. I rarely consider most men his age “grown men”…he’s got a little more growing to do, just give him the space to do it. It’s not like he’s with some angel or anything. Rihanna knows what she’s getting herself into and she’s not an innocent as her stans make her out to be. Just ignore them and let them date, that’s what I do, it’s not that hard *shrugs*
Never thought Rihanna claimed to be innocent. But seriously people, although wrong to get physical with anyone for any reason, naturally people react when they have caught or suspect their partner of cheating. I mean really. That said, their life.
All I can say is if they don’t put GOD at the head of their relationship, it will fail again. They need Jesus!
