    OK people , i am taking bets on how long it takes for her to take this punk back! if she accepts the gifts shes taking him back at some point and shes pathetic , probably sooner than later.
    and if she does take him back, then she deserves anything that happens to her from that point on.

    hit me once shame on you ! hit me twice shame on me ! and she will be!!!!!

    My bet is on her taking him back. Some people are addicted to the drama in their lives. Especially if this is how they themselves grew up. It becomes their comfort zone. If her father treated her mother this way, then this is how she gets her self worth. It may be a little too soon to eat crow, but give it some time and she will go back to him. Never mind her, what will her father say to the media then? That the damage looked worst in the pics and that it was nothing more than �just a little spank or a little thing�� and that the whole matter was blown out of proportion!

    I think he learned his lesson. Give him another chance!

    I think he’s trying to get her to drop the charges (if that’s possible anymore in the US) or get a lesser sentence. See what happens when they let these creeps out on bail?….they contact the last person they should be allowed to contact…the victim! The article doesn’t mention it but, supposedly he called her on her birthday as well and that yes, she is thinking of taking him back. I blame the law because right now, she is vulnerable and if she had some time away from him, she would think twice about taking him back. He absolutely should not be allowed to contact her AND vice versa!

    WOW!!!…a diamond necklace, bracelet and an iPod touch…DAMN!!! i’ll take him back. hahahahahahahaha!!! LMAO!!! NOTE: ASSAULT + “WTF were u thinkin???” = JAILTIME!!!

    They should have him charged with bribery and attempt to coerce a victim/witness now too!!

    Diamonds and an iPod Touch? Are you kidding me? That’s his big gift to the girlfriend he allegedly beat up? My dog could afford better/more stuff than that. Isn’t Chris Brown supposed to be loaded? An iPod Touch?? I would laugh in his face if I were Rihanna. What a joke.

  8. mandee • February 25, 2009 @ 3:20 PM

    this is stupid. she should send the stuff back and buy them for herself. why would anyone want gifts from someone that beat them? i think she needs to be in crisis counseling so that someone can help her see what a mistake it is to take him back.

  9. tributegirl • February 25, 2009 @ 3:44 PM

    I’m also betting she will take him back, she will be looking at the gifts and thinking about all the nice things he is saying to her now, and her heart will soften, and she’ll take him back. God, I hope I’m wrong!

  10. Davide • February 25, 2009 @ 5:18 PM

    if she takes him back then she must have enjoyed the beating she got. I hope not cause she can do better.

    i’m 42 yr old male married for 13 yr’s and have had numerous failed relationships. i’ve never once raised a hand to a woman or even considered it….there is no excuse for this punks actions and i’m amazed at all those who say if she …this and if she that …than she deserved it.NO woman deserves to be hit by a man as there are more mature ways to handle your issues. I’d challenge Mr. Brown to step onto my property and play tough guy and perhaps a little humility will help him to grow up. I just yesterday saw pictures of this beautiful woman after he beat her (not allegedly beat her) and for those of you who think this is a trivial matter to joke about shame on you….wait till it’s your daughter looking like that

    heheheeh this is going to be funny. Lets see whats the next drama going to be.

    she dised her man and she paid the price
    now is time to make everything shugah and spice

    she better accept his apology and take him back
    or next time the beatings will be alot more than just a smack!

    he’s watching her, he’s following her, he know’s everything about her
    there’s no escape, so take the gifts and, baby, treat your man right
    he needs your goodlovin
    he needs your obedience
    he needs you to speak only when spoken to
    or the abuse will start anew, and baby, belive him when he says it hurts you more than it does him
    unless he ain’t gettin any, then it hurts him more than it does you and you don’t want to deny him or the piper will pay!

  14. ke • February 26, 2009 @ 12:21 AM

    no. i think she’s smarter than that. she won’t take him back. she’s gonna get it together and focus on her career. leaving him behind picking up the pieces. the jerk.

  15. mandee • February 26, 2009 @ 12:52 AM

    iceberg, i wrote a poem on abuse too, the only difference is, mine is FOR the woman and in the end she kills the man that abused her. i would post it but im sure that it would just be deleted anyway. think with your head iceberg, no woman deserves to be beat…and if she does, then the man that beat her, deserves to be shot.

  16. JJ • February 26, 2009 @ 2:05 AM

    Don’t take him back please.

  17. demigod • February 26, 2009 @ 4:24 AM

    If she accepts those gifts, she is THE most pathetic thing..

  18. Junk • February 27, 2009 @ 1:39 PM

    I think if you look at his history of growing up in an home where his mother was abused and being so vocal about being against violence, that Chris Brown is probably disgusted with himself. He has no history of violence toward women himself, is in treatment and likely feels worse than any of us can imagine. If he gets help and she takes him back, that’s her decision. I hope he gets well, and I hope she makes smart choices. Things are not always so black and white and we realyl have no right to judge when we’re looking in from the outside….

  19. Charles B. • February 28, 2009 @ 7:33 PM

    I think it is nice of him to do that for her. After all she must have said some awful things for him to snap like that. They were such a nice couple and will be again.

    Good luck!
