Celebrities Still Speaking on the attack

Celebrities are still speaking on the attack. See what they have to say below:

Dawn Richard (Former Danity Kane member):

Dawn tells MTV News, “I’ve seen them a couple times before all this stuff, but I don’t know them like that.” She said that’s she’s “praying for both of them.” Richard feels bad about the media hype, explaining, “I think they’re both great artists, It’s a shame and I think it’s their business and it sucks that it has to be out there. The media attention is like a microscope — everybody’s in your stuff. It’s their business and whatever they choose to do with it, I wish them luck. It’s not my business.”

50 Cent (speaks AGAIN to ABC News):

In an interview with ABC News, rapper 50 Cent described his reaction to the photos of Rihanna’s swollen, cut face released last week. He joined the likes of Kanye West, Jay-Z and T.I. in opining on the incident.

“It’s past what would happen in a traditional dysfunctional relationship, just a little more,” he said. “She was beaten past someone hitting a person out of anger that they couldn’t control at the moment. It’s like a man fighting another man versus a man fighting another woman.

“It was shocking. It was more than I could do,” added 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson.

Of Brown’s career, 50 Cent said, “I don’t want to say it’s over, but it will be different. … He can’t have that clean-cut image anymore.

“I don’t think he should say anything right now. Like the apology statement he put out … there’s no way the public will embrace that,” 50 Cent added.

As for Rihanna, 50 Cent hopes she’ll get back to the tour circuit and recording studio soon.

“I don’t think she needs to hide. She didn’t do anything wrong,” he said.

   I can’t believe that some people have been leaving comments, that all people fight. And if you hit him first…. Is that the support you would want if you were battered by a man. Men are so much stonger physically and socially then women. The inequality that women face compared to men still exists in 2010. Women have lived in oppresion long enough.

   This disgust me that you got back with him. Way to show the youth all over the world that domestic violence is okay. Hopefully, he won’t kill you next time. I actually felt bad for you but now I have lost all respect for you. Chris Brown-You are a pile. A poor excuse for a man. I turn the radio station every time I hear your songs. I used to think you were a good artist. Now, I don’t care how many awards you win you will always be a woman beater in my book. I will never ever purchase a CD done by either one of you again! I hope people can see through your fake apology. I’m sick of all these celebrities not wanting to stand up for what is right because they don’t want to tarnish their name. It is really sad that no one wants to speak out against domestic violence especially the celebrities. I bet if Chris Brown was a white guy, Kanye West would be talking shit but since he is black he sticks by him. Thanks again Rhianna for showing women it’s okay to get beat. There’s a woman out there that looked up to you. Maybe next time she gets beat she will think it’s okay. Bravo! Your weak.

   you know if anyone hates a woman beater it’s me but people can not just blame the mishap on chris brown because riri’s face was messed up.if chris brown was badly injured in the situation would everyone feel as sorry for him as they do rihanna.I don’t think so it’s all because chris is a male and rihanna is a woman.I feel that no-one should be critizing them at all.Rihanna is a grown woman if she felt she needed to really get away from chris she would have she has no reason to stay she has just as much money as he does.how can we say chris’s apology was fake, how do we know how he feels.we don’t know what went on that knight, and I believe they can make it work.No relation is perfect.So Rihanna and Chris keep on keeping because I still love you both.

   Kudos abound for those of you who left sensible comments. As for the rest of you, well, I won’t dignify my space with preposterous jabber. Rihanna, get it together! This boy needs to serve some time and, not in your bed saying over and over how sorry he is or, it won’t ever happen again. Yes, it will happen again. If your camp is down-playing how he smashed in your beautiful face, as is has done, I would fire their butts in a New York minute. You have to press charges. It doesn’t matter if you’re only 21, “so in love and he apologized.” Of course he did. ANY man,(then again a REAL man doesn’t beat-up on women for that matter) “even once” doesn’t deserve another chance, not with you…Girl, everyone saw your face!! Have you given thought to your young fans and the message this sends? Not just the young ones; but male and female, regardless of their age group.

   Are you afraid you’ll never feel this way again? What way is that? I’m confused, your “I’m still loving him” or his “let me put this woman in her place?” I thought about Halle Berry, who is, as you may know, partially deaf in one ear as a result of abuse she took from an early relationship — just look at the happy place she is in today!! Get Tina Turner on the phone, if she hasn’t already reached out to you. She was beaten for years by Ike. By the grace of God, she mustered the courage to wash that piece of crap right out of her hair, too. Look what a comeback she made!! Amazing and, incredible, don’t you agree? Both Halle and Tina have great men in their lives now. I doubt Rihanna will read this, but I do hope that the ones leaving messages of Rihanna staying with him for whatever the reason will think about the fact that there is someone out there that will treat this young woman, as any woman should be treated with respect and love…and it’s not with a fist!! I know, I was once there myself and, yes, I bought into his “apologizes, gifts and, I am so, so sorry.” The last time I saw him several years ago, he was standing in the driveway bowled over holding his “manhood.” What a sight that was to behold!

   Rihanna, your responsibility here has nothing to do with “easier said than done feelings,” for this boy who is in desperate need of help…you can’t fix him, but you can fix you. Point blank, it’s about doing the right thing. Be an adult. You may not believe or feel it now, but one day you will realize this is sooo not worth it. Again, be an ADULT.
