Celebrity Justice
Rihanna Wants a Deal Too

Pretty stunning ... Rihanna's lawyer just spoke to reporters, as if he is somehow speaking on behalf of the man who allegedly beat his client -- aka Chris Brown.

Donald Etra: Click to watch
Donald Etra just said Rihanna would be pleased "if it [the case] were over quickly" -- as in plea bargain. Etra was asked what kind of deal would she want -- he said she recognized it wasn't up to her. He acknowledged there were efforts underway to resolve the case -- so he knows...

As we first reported, Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, and the prosecutor are in the throws of plea bargain negotiations and one source says a deal is "close." Rihanna has made it clear -- she does not want to go to court, although Etra says she will cooperate if ordered to do so.

If you're wondering why Mark Geragos didn't speak -- we have no doubt prosecutors would be pissed off if he stepped in front of the mic during negotiations ... so its all the more intriguing that Rihanna's lawyer answered all of the questions.

47. If a woman hits me by law I have every right to hit her back

48. You all can call RiRi stupid if you want to, but she's smart enough to fool the majority of the public. First of all, she knows that Chris has never retaliated before February 8th to her physical and verbal abuse over the past 18 months. Many insiders have seen her slap the piss out of him at several industry parties. Secondly, if Chris cuts her loose then she can say goodbye to the #1 hits on Billboard. The chick can't harmonize and she sure can't write her own music. Hell yeah, she is bending forwards with her butthole in the air, backwards with her legs over her head, and sideways to kiss his ass and make this right.

49.
You people need to get a grip. You are way too judgemental about something that does not concern either of you. If you dont like CB then stay off the links that mention his name, dont buy his music, dont watch his movies. You have stated your distaste for him so move on.Get the hate out your hearts, it takes up way too much energy. None of you know CB or Ri so move on. I am fans of them both and will remain neutral. It is very much apparent that this was an isolated incident and it went too far. If you took a minute to think with an open mind, you would see this was all about immaturity and jealousy. Ri is not a victim. She has a 'hands' problemas well and should be seeking the same help that CB is. They dont need to be together and really should go on the seperate ways. Ri has been hitting him for a minute now and he has been taking the high road but this time made a poor choice not to do so. Everyone wants to say a man should never hit a woman for any reason, well a woman should never hit a man for any reason. It goes both ways people. She is in just as much wrong as he is for the whole thing. Stop being so biased when talking about DV. Women harm men too. Do you watch SNAPPED, if not maybe you should sometime to see how women can be just as sick as men. Bottom line its their business and you negative folks need to get over it, because 9 times out 10 the media has gotten you all hyped up for no reason.

50. He is DISGUSTING! Once an abuser, always an abuser. Been there, did that.
I HOPE she's done with him forever

51. She just wants the money, the clothes and the dyck coming in. Rihanna is low class and stupid. I am happy I got a copy of her one song on the bootleg. She doesn't have to tear down her favorite dyck to uplift young girls and women going through the same thing. Next time, I hope they televise the beat down so we can cast bets on how many bruises she ends up with.

53. @21 were you mad that Don Cornelius got away with probation and community service for hitting his wife

54. Sources have confirmed it's official. Rihanna and Chris are still together, she never even left him. This is the main reason he's pleading not guilty. He has her on side, encouraging him to hope for a light punishment and they both know she would never forgive herself if he received a harsh punishment. Obviously due to the harsh media scrutiny, they've been forced to distance themselves from one another...and infact avoid being photo'd together. Although Chris' camp are STILL doing everything they can do to do the opposite, and infact have them seen together. Rhianna is putting her career first, but definitely not her self-esteem. She's often been overheard picking baby names for the kids her and Chris "will definitely have one day", and she's adamant her and Chris are "meant to be" and "soul mates". Close friends have even started calling her "nuts" to her face for taking him back, but she ignores it & continues to dismiss any criticism by brushing them off as "clueless" because "you don't understand how real [our] love is". I personally think she's crazy, and no amount of fake giggles will fool me. She can smile from ear to ear all she wants, running from city to city hopping from club to club....but deep down she knows she's a troubled train wreck who needs a major wake up call and guidance

55. It's obvious that the attorneys have been working behind the scenes to get Brown out of this mess. Here's how it went down. Chris Brown popped Rhihanna a few, not for the first time, but this time the police got involved. She was angry and hurt. Then she had time to think about it and people had time to talk to her about how this would affect HIS career. She still cares for him and doesn't want to ruin his career. . Now she's given her attorney the ok to find the most expeditious way to get out of this for CHRIS without him doing jail time. Girlfriend doesn't want this to go to trial and have to testify or worse yet, REFUSE to testify giving the public reason to vilify herself from coast to coast. she'd rather let the attorneys hash it out and remain the silent victim on the sideline. She's a coward.

56. I SUPPORT CHRIS, they both had fault in this and they both hit each other, they are taking a break now obviously because of all this drama and they just need some time to themselves so leave them alone, they are young and they make mistakes, they are human, move on people if they are doing it why cant you all if its not your problem plus you all dont know everything about what truly happened except them, even rihanna doesnt want chris in jail so get over it,
Imagine if it were your son who would of done a mistake like chris, wouldnt you all support and give guidance to your son, or would you just judge, crucify, and curse against your own son, i bet you all were to be a good person and a good parent you all would try to help him and give him guidance, so leave him and her alone already, they are a young couple who is going through some tough times so leave them alone already, I SUPPORT BOTH CHRIS AND RIHANNA

57. Why are women never to be held accountable for their actions?
It seems like women have free reign to be uncntrolled and lash out against men any way they want to and not recieve any repurcussions.

THe girl has stated she has hit him and he never responded, he finally snaps after she punched him in his Jewels and kept hitting him and everyone acts like she is such a victim.

Women need to own up to thier foolishness and realize when you ACT LIKE A MAN, YOU WILL GET TREATED LIKE ONE.

58. Of course she wants this all to be over as soon as possible so her and her boyfriend can go back to creating wonderful memories. Rihanna you are a low class, stupid piece of trash, just like Chris Brown. You deserve each other. Stay down where you belong.
