Chris Brown is my all time favorite artiste because of his immense talent and charisma but all that went down the drain when he physically assaulted his then girlfriend, Rihanna.
Violence against women is abominable and I was shocked a whole Chris Brown could take the same path abusive and incorrigible men who ‘oppress’ women have taken.
That notwithstanding, Breezy has gained my trust for showing genuine remorse. The singer has detailed what happened that very day he assaulted the R&b sensation in documentary; Welcome to My Life.
Chris says their rocky relationship began after he told the Riri that he slept with another woman, which resulted in a loss of trust.
Their issues came to a head at Clive Davis’ 2009 Grammys party, where the woman he slept with approached the couple at the event. Later on in the night, Rihanna saw that the woman texted Brown.
He said:
“[Rihanna] starts going off, she throws the phone,” he explained. “’I hate you.’ Starts hitting me. We’re in a little Lamborghini. She’s fighting me. I’m like, ‘Look, I’m telling you the truth, I swear.’”
“She hits me a couple of more times and it doesn’t go from translation to, ‘Let’s sit down, I’m telling you the truth.’ It goes to, ‘Now, I’m going to be mean, be evil,’” he continues. “I remember she tried to kick me, but then I really hit her, with a closed fist, I punched her. I busted her lip. When I saw it, I was in shock. I was like, ‘F**k, why the hell did I hit her?’”
Brown later brings up the chilling photo of a bruised and bloodied Rihanna, stating that he “hate[s] it to this day. That’s going to haunt me forever.”
