Will and Jada Reach Out to Chris and Rihanna

215.jpg

At the NAACP Image Awards on Thursday night, Will Smith told "Extra" that he and his wife are supporting Chris Brown and Rihanna. "Jada and I reached out to both of them," Will said. "If it's help they need, then let's get it right."

Speaking out about the alleged attack involving Brown and Rihanna, Smith commented, "This is a time where they need to be left alone and if they have things they need to work out, work it out."

Smith urged the public to stop speculating about the incident saying, "People should take a minute before they jump on it and judge. We don't know nothing. If there are mistakes people make, then they should be willing to live up to the mistakes and do whatever penance they need to do. I don't think it's up to us, specifically the media, with such a fast hand to try to chop someone's head off."


 

Jason, you sound like a big man,yes you are condoning abuse with your statement, no man should hit any woman period,end of story. Why are you such a mysogynist?

God it is so sad to see the people and especially the women making excuses for this man. I dont care what she was doing, if he was driving or not. Look at the size of her and look at the size of his arms. What is wrong with you stupid women, I hope you never get hit by someone bigger than you.

What is it with all the people who are sticking up for Brown. I do not care what she did, there is NO EXCUSE for him “allegedly” doing what he did. Why can’t these stars show some guts and say it like it is, He is in the wrong, period. I dont get it why the victim is always blamed especially by other women. No wonder women are afraid to come forward in this world, there is still a darn lot of sexism in the world. I dont care what she did, period.

Hey Ben,

What if that girl/woman was punching, slapping, biting, kicking and pinching you while you were driving? You, as a man, are not allowed to defend yourself? For the record, I couldn’t name a Chris Brown song if you paid me — I’m not fan of either of them. Just seems to me that there is always, his side, her side, and then the TRUTH (which we may never know, so we shouldn’t bother speculating).

Doug,right now it is called an ALLEGED BEATING, until he goes to court and will smith is not making excuses for him either. Chris is not guilty until he goes to court. doug, you are making the story bigger than what it is. shut up

Like TI and Terrance Howard, it appears that Will Smith is making excuses for Chris Brown.

Not to place judgement on either one of them. Chris is wrong for what he has supposedly done to rihanna. Nowwwwww, I can probably bet youuuuu that they were fighting each other like cats and dogs, she probably gave him a few slaps too. We will only know what the “Media” tells us. This is terrible!! and help my asss. “Run rihanna!!!!” and don’t look back. You have your own ” few pennies” (Money). Abuse (not worth it sweetheart”)

this goes out to all ignorant ppl. its not right to judge nor is it right to put your hands on anyone.. the hell man or wman… but who are we to judge any one.. ppl.lets not act like we dnt hve garbage in our trunks.. everyone deserves a second chance.. when you commit a sin u ask for forgiveness. STOP IT PLEASE!!! why is he treated so diff. we need to stop be’n so quick to judge one another.. that will neva make the situation right!! they are young he still hve time to learn from this..& yes he did talk about his step-father abusing his mother some yrs back-lets get this right the media brought that up.chrise never said that to justify the reason for hitting on rihanna!!!!

Provoked? What a lame excuse coming from the man/relatives! I hope the woman is wiser to totally cut whatever relationship she has with the man, as it will happen over and over again.

Provoked? What an excuse for a man to beat up a woman! I hope the woman is wiser, as it surely will happen again….and again, if she ever sticks it out with that kind of man.

No wonder I love and repect Will and Jada…. Instead of judging they are wanting to help. It hurts my heart to see people give up on each other so quickly. What ever happen between these to YOUNG people they need support.

I’m a woman and I’ve never been hit but have been present when other females have. There were times when the guy would try to walk away but the girl wouldnt let that happen…so you cant say he should have walked away because you dont know if he didnt try to! Putting you hands on someone isnt right…man or woman.

I must say that all you hear on the news & internet are all speculations - we do not know what really happened. If Chris Brown layed his hands on her then I’m sure his charges would have been domestic voilence but for now he is being charged for threatening her - The DA kicked the case back for furture investigation - that means theirs not enough eveidence to charge him. So with that being said the media just hyped this up to be a herrific ordeal!

Hey Ben (1st comment) Anyone lays a hand on you, man or woman, they’re fair game!! Why the hell do woman get so much special treatment??? I don’t condone abuse, but hell man or woman, you do something you deserve it back.

I’m so confused at the people in this world. Ok so what we were not there but as a man if me and my girl get into a fight I may grab her to keep he calm but I have never hit her. If I feel as though it’s getting to that point then I;m going to walk away. All I need to know is that she was in the hospital with bite marks to her fngers a split lip and a cut on her face. This tells me he beat on her as if she was another dude. How would you people feel if this was your mother, daughter, neice, aunt, little sister or grandmother? He should of walked away as a man. If this was my sister he whould be in the hospital right with her! That’s all I’m saying!
