Today, CNN got a hold of lots of details, and court documents that tell the story about Chris Brown beating Rihanna, referred to as Robyn F in the news story (because her real name is Robyn Fenty).
Update says he's not be arraigned until April 6

Wow, that's really brutal.
When it was reported, I figured it was a punch or 2, possibly a slap, not an all-out beating. However, she took him back, so she's also an idiot. Sorry, but she had her chance to get a restraining order against him, and with all the support from family, friends, the media, and other music celebrities siding with her and not with Chris Brown, she still chose not to take it. Instead, she's taking him back. His career is hopefully over. What other celebrity wants to be associated with this guy now?
Her family, agent, and lawyers really should have told her to smarten up.

Even on her orders, I don't know why the lawyers announced that she still wants contact with Brown. It's a completely business relationship, but set her straight. Look at her photos.
And apparently, she has been abused for months, people knew this, and didn't say anything. Also, her father says he's 100% behind her going back to him if it makes him happy. I'm sorry, but despite the fact that his daughter is an adult who can do as she pleases, I'd never be able to tell the media that I approve of this.
No wonder why Chris Brown says he really loves her and wants her to take him back. He likes to punch his girlfriends, and she has basically sent the message to him that this is a forgiveable act.
We'll see her bruised face again on the news soon enough.
