16. My guess is that Rihanna hit him first and Chris Brown struck back out of reflex. Rihanna has a history of having violent fights with one of her brothers. She even broke a bottle over her brother's head once which caused a scar over his forehead. I really think this time that it was a quick reaction of defense from Chris Brown.

23. This will be pled down to disorderly by the end of tomorrow - his people will call her people, and they'll cut a deal.

Too bad he didn't win a Grammy tonight - she could break it off in his ass

24. Chris has a history of being aggressive with women:

July 02, 2007. Looks like Chris Brown may not be the gentleman that everyone thinks he is. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that a South African actress is claiming to have been in a brief scuffle with Brown - all because she refused to go to his hotel room.

According to a number of witnesses who spoke with MediaTakeOut.com, Chris Brown ran into actress Khanyi Mbau at the launch of The Real Goboza - a South African weekly entertainment show. And it was during that meeting that all the drama ensued.

Khanyi claims that during a conversation with Chris, the R&B singer grabbed her by the arm in an aggressive manner and asked that she go with him to his hotel room. The South African actress explains, "I tried to pull away but his grip was just too tight.”

That's when, according to the lovely actress, her manager came charging to the rescue. Mbau tells, "Malcolm [my manager] had to pull me away from Chris." But even then, the teenage singer wasn't finished with her. The actress adds, "Chris [still] asked if I was sure I did not want to come with him."

And MediaTakeOut.com discovered that this isn't the first public scuffle that Khanyi Mbau has found herself in recent months. The young actress, whom the South African press refer to as the "African Paris Hilton," was recently involved is a hotel brawl with her husband - African billionaire Mandla Mthembu. According to reports, the fight began when Khanyi's husband found some suspicious text messages on her cell phone.

28. Just looked up Los Angeles County's felony bail schedule. $50,000 is for serious bodily injury. Not sure what qualifies as "serious" but sexual battery was only $25,000.

29. As horrible a thing as Chris has done I feel bad that he has to go through this publicly. As much as I loved him and Rihanna together, I guess it is time for them to go their seperate ways.

Posted at 11:16PM on Feb 8th 2009 by No Chris no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30. I dont get the posters saying Chris should leave Rhianna and how awesome he is and trashy she is! If shes so awful then dont be with her! A man doesnt attack a woman! Period! How sad for anyone to take the side of a man who is stronger physically attacking anyone weaker than he is.
