Reports: Rihanna Victim in Alleged Brown Attack
"Extra" has uncovered more information about Chris Brown's arrest on battery charges yesterday.
The R&B singer posted $50K bail and was released from custody yesterday at approximately 6:30 PM -- after his SUV was chased through L.A. streets. Brown, who was booked on charges of making felony criminal threats, faces up to 9 years in prison.
New reports today confirm that Brown's superstar girlfriend, Rihanna, was the victim of the alleged attack -- and suffered bruises, scratches and even a bite mark (some reports have said she has a broken jaw), but her people are not commenting except to say "she is well."
This morning, Rihanna's father told Splash News that his daughter told him she was in a car wreck. "She told him the reason she was pulling out of the Grammys was because of a shoulder injury," Sam from Splash News dishes to "Extra."
On Friday, the couple looked cozy at Timbaland's Pre-Grammy party where Rihanna performed for the star-studded crowd. The singing duo also appeared at Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy party on Saturday.
Rihanna and Chris inexplicably left the bash at 12:20 AM in the middle of P. Diddy's performance -- and were snapped in Brown's rented Lamborghini, which "Extra" has learned rents for $2K a day. Ten minutes later, LAPD received a 911 call about a domestic violence incident in Hancock Park.
Both Rihanna and Brown canceled their Grammy performances on Sunday afternoon -- giving Justin Timberlake and Al Green the opportunity for an impromptu Grammy performance. News of the alleged incident stunned attendees, including actor Blair Underwood, who said, "That's unfortunate -- that's very unfortunate."
Now, "Extra" has uncovered evidence of abuse in Brown's past -- with his stepfather allegedly abusing his mother. "In the cover story for Giant magazine, Chris Brown talks about telling his mom that because his stepfather was so abusive to her that one day he would go to his stepfather's job and beat him with a baseball bat," Emil Wilbekin of Giant magazine dishes to "Extra."
The incident is under investigation, with Chris possibly facing additional charges. He is due in court March 5.

It doesn’t matter who it is,but there relationship was being watched by all teens and if people would remember back when they were in love at there age, the love seemed more intense, anger was more intense, no common sense came about. I recently went through this with my 17 yr. old daughter with a boyfriend of 2 months that turned from cute love after a month into control and then he put his hands on her when she was at his house, his parents were there and saw it. When my daughter got home I put a stop to that, having him arrested and stalking charges and all that turned into him blowing his chances for getting into his college preference. My point being is that no matter who it is remember there age and all that’s involved in teenage love and you can see why she’d cover it up, for one they love each other, to him he let his anger control his feeling and it’s ruined his career over stupid choices, and yes, he should go to jail, 9 yrs I don’t think that’s right considering people who murder or rape children don’t get that much punishment but he does need to pay for what he did, her, she covered for this out of her loving him, probably shocked by what happened and in her mind thinks it won’t happen again. Foolish young relationships. This is where adults need to be adults and help them to do the right thing, encouraging them to do what’s right and I really don’t care for Rhianna to much but I think she should press all charges, realize she is better than this and it will make her stronger. For Chris, I really like him and was shocked to hear this but for his future to go on he should get anger management help and learn from this so his next relationship will be better. So, for people who are leaving mean comments about her just because you are a Chris Brown fan that’s saying she deserved it have problems themselves. That’s soo ad for those comments, It doesn’t matter what the situation was, even if he caught her with another guy still doesn’t give him the right to hit her, he should show he’s a real man, and do the right thing, no matter how much he is mad or hurt, prove you’re a better man and move on. Don’t stoop to a thug or redneck level by doing to her what you hated that was being done to your mom.
