Celebrity Justice
Rihanna's Command Performance -- In Court

Chris Brown RihannaRihanna's lawyer just said the D.A. told him his client will be subpoenaed at the next court hearing.

Donald Etra said Rihanna will be called to the stand to testify at Chris Brown's preliminary hearing on June 22.

Etra says his client will cooperate and take the stand. It's not at all unexpected that the alleged victim would be called to the stand in a prelim.

Also today, the judge rejected a motion made by Chris Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, asking for an order requiring the LAPD to ante up info regarding leaks in the case.

61. Giving everybody the benefit of the doubt, it sounds like a toxic relationship that each party should run away from at all costs. Love is not supposed to hurt. If you've got two people who have no self control and have anger issues, it's only a matter of time before something terrible happens. Abusers don't get better when they are in denial. They just escalate. Bottom line, however, is that Chris Brown is a bigger human and Rihanna didn't stand a chance once she set him off (if she really DID set him off). If she hit him first, she's an idiot since she already knew his propensity for violence. However, before you pummel a woman's face with your fists because she disrespected you, stop the car and somebody get the eff out before somebody gets hurt or dies. There is no excuse for hitting someone....even if the person hit you first. Are we in second grade now only with more dire consequences? The same caution can be told to both of these kids: Stay away from each other...if he/she hit you once, he/she will hit you again. Nobody needs that crap.

Bet dollars to donuts she goes back...."oh he's changed, he said he'll never hit me again...." That is until the next time.

63. I WILL PRAY FOR CHRIS BROWN

THE DEVIL'S PEOPLE CAN HATE BUT HE WILL RISE ABOVE THE DEMONS
RIHANNA IS NOT ALL INNOCENT BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN, MOST PEOPLE TAKE HER SIDE BEFORE KNOWING THE WHOLE TRUTH, IF A MAN SHOULD NEVER HIT A WOMAN, THEN A WOMAN SHOULD NEVER HIT A MAN BUT NO EVERYONE PITY'S THE WOMAN, WHEN IN SOME CASES SHE WAS THE ONE WHO CROSSED THE LINE, BUT WHO GETS ALL THE BLAME THE MAN BECAUSE SOCIETY THINKS A MAN SHOULD NOT HIT BUT THE WOMAN CAN, PATHETIC!!

RIHANNA IS SCUM, TWISTED LITTLE BITCH, NO SYMPATHY FROM ME, SHE IS USING THE WHOLE DRAMA FOR HER OWN ADVANTAGE, THAT'S PURE EVIL, SHE SOLD HER SOUL TO THE DEVIL AND THE DEVIL IT BEING THE MEDIA ARE WORSHIPING HER, LIKE SHE CAN'T DO NO WRONG.

64. Good,and this testimony will bury and destroy her for sure.But too bad she will lie there.She knows she is as guilty as he is,or even more guilty,but will lie only to save her "reputation" and save her "career".She's a liar and pathetic.If she testifies,she'll lie and she will be doomed,will be caught lying.Too good for her,now the truth will come out and she will be caught.Wonderful news.She's very stupid,and i won't feel sad or bad for her when she gets caught lying...she needs to be punished for what she did.She's a tramp, a stupid tramp and a liar.lol

72. Im sorry, but all the people on here that HATE Chris Brown and are happy Rihanna is testifying against Chris , think you will hear the truth for the first time when she gets on the stand and puts that hand up to take the oath, it’s over..
Mark Gerargos:

Did you hit him first - Yes
Did he ask you to stop - Yes
Did he try to stop you from hitting him without violence - Yes
Did you continue - yes
Did he ask you to get out of the car - Yes
Did he try to leave his own vehicle, so he would not hit you -Yes
Did you pursue him - yes
Was the argument over another woman or young stupid girl also - Yes
Did you try to wreck the car while hitting him - yes
Did you take the keys from the ignition and throw them - yes
When he was trying to get away, you continued to fight him, thinking that he was going over the other girls house - yes
After you hit him with the heel of your shoe, he just could not take it anymore so he bopped you one good time, after he bit you as you were holding on to his (testicles) and would not let them go - yes..

CASE DISMISSED!

73. i think the bitch got what she deserves she is so lame and not even a good singer and by the way what the hell makes people thinks she so innocent oh wait she a girl and she cant defend herself boo- hoo stupid bitch chris brown is the best and will always be

Posted at 7:36PM on May 28th 2009 by WHAT

74. LMAO @ 73 asdf.....hahahahahaha!!!

This whole case has been fishy, and one-sided from the get go!! Glad the truth is finally going to come out...Rihanna won't lie unless she wants to go to jail for perjury like Lil' Kim did! Lets let Rihanna tell us what REALLY went down that infamous night....can't wait

This is like a preview to a REALLY good movie, cant wait till it comes out to a theater near me, June 22nd!!! lol

P.S. Chris did not beat rihanna to a "bloody pulp" and people are soo worked about this that they dont even want to see that Chris is no where near as bad as ppl are making him out to be...even when they truth does come out that everyone judging him was dead wrong...they still gonna hate him...

All the best to CB and RF!

Posted at 7:39PM on May 28th 2009 by FINALLY THE TRUTH WILL BE TOLD!!!

75. People have it ever occur to you, why in the beginning she wanted this over with fast and was hoping it didn't go this far, seeing the state is in charge and she really had no say in it, I just pray that she isn't hiding anything. Yes I know the picture show her beaten badly but until they both testify it has been her saying. I'm not taking any sides in this abuse is wrong regardless to whom, but lately in the news so much stuff has taken place, people accused of kidnapping, etc. I would like to see how many comments we can get when father's, babysitters, mothers, uncles, aunts,brothers, sisters, grandparents etc. beat helpless babies and children to death, I read a lot on the web about these senseless killings of innocent children and wonder if people were so into their well being as they are into the stars life. People you can talk about Chris Brown until you get blue in the face, boycott his concerts but... Chris will be around for years because no matter what, he is loved by far more people than the ones who dislike him, believe it or not, Brittney Spears was a bad mother, drug user etc. but... she's back in the good grace of the people, I could go on and on about other stars who have abuse women and are still making movies or music.
