Not the first time?

Rihanna at The Grove in L.A. (2/4)

Rihanna's beat down on Sunday morning may not have been the first time Chris Brown has been violent with her, according to Us Weekly. A friend told the magazine that she noticed "clearly visible" bruises on the singer's neck in early December:

"I asked is everything was OK with her and Chris. She told me, 'We broke up again.' I didn't pursue the issue further." (Source)

With Valentine's Day this Saturday, what do you think says "I'm sorry I repeatedly punched you in the face" better? A dozen roses or a box of chocolates?

Rihanna is soooo hooot how could Chris do this to her damn

boblabla

not to trivialize this in any way, but you do realize that since this wasn't the first time that this happened, meaning it's a habit, she's now going to have to go on oprah or the tyra banks show and talk about her emotional distress and living in fear with spousal abuse. instead of doing what she should, nailing his balls to the wall over her fire place as a mantel piece, and regaining her control over her life rather than the fear that we will all push off on to her by making her retell the same story over and over for our entertainment. thank you PR.

Diamonds! Nothing says I'm sorry I'm a worthless jerk better than diamonds.

Aww. Rihanna is so gorgeous, I love her.

I really do feel bad for her... some people really have issues that make them stay. They're delusional, they think the other person loves them. :(

If this is true, Brown should be punished to the fullest the law allows.... That Being said, what are her daddy issues that she came back after the first beat down?
