Chris and Rihanna Down and Hiding Out in Beverly Hills

Pop pair Chris Brown and Rihanna are back in L.A. -- and they're reportedly hiding out from press as they work on their reconciliation.

According to OK! magazine, the couple decided to stay away from their Los Angeles homes -- which no doubt have hordes of paparazzi camping out -- and shack up at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

The controversial couple returned from Miami on a private jet. They are reportedly trying to patch things up after a February 8 altercation that left Rihanna bloodied and bruised after Brown allegedly beat her.

The twosome may not receive the kind of support they're hoping for. While Rihanna's dad publicly stated he's behind his daughter in whatever decision she makes, new reports suggest the "Umbrella" singer's family isn't ready to forgive and forget. "Everyone wants them to take a break, to cool off," a Rihanna relative revealed to People magazine. "No one wants them back together. I'm concerned -- I don't want her to make a mistake, and I don't want her to ever go through this again."

Immediately following the battering, a reconciliation between Chris and Rihanna didn't seem likely. Brown went into hiding, while Rihanna recuperated in Mexico -- after reportedly helping the LAPD build a case against her allegedly abusive beau.

Will Brown be charged -- and will Rihanna defend him in court? Chris faces a judge in L.A. on Thursday.

i think the public needs to leave them be. they will work it out and she will leave when she is ready. no one can make her mind up for her and this is something she is going to have to learn on her own, sadly to say. i pray for both. chris needs help too.

Police continue to investigate the case and no formal charges have yet been filed against Brown, who was booked on a felony criminal threat charge. Brown has no known criminal background, and though people close to the pair say they’ve had a tumultuous relationship at times, there had never been any indication of violence until now.

After the arrest, Brown and Rihanna spent time apart. Brown released a statement at the time, saying, “Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired” and noted that he was “seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones.”

According to experts, there was nothing surprising in the reunion between Brown and Rihanna, who after spending time in Miami both returned to Los Angeles on the same plane Monday morning.


Reconciliation Period
According to psychologist and author Lenore Walker, the average battered woman endures three to five violent incidents, from having her arm grabbed to an all-out beating, before she gives up on the relationship.

The reconciliation usually happens during what experts call the honeymoon phase in the cycle of violence, that cooling-down period after the attack when the abusive partner often expresses remorse and begs for forgiveness.

“The man is saying he’s sorry, he didn’t mean it, that it’ll never happen again,” says Walker. “It’s the loving behavior that reinforces a woman to stay, because they believe the violent act isn’t a true reflection of their man.”

If anything, the victim will often blame herself – and the attacker will agree with her. “The abuser also tries very hard to convince the victim that the attack was their fault,” says Dr. Elizabeth Miller, a Sacramento, Calif., pediatrician and domestic violence expert. “It’s common to say, ‘Honey, if you hadn’t upset me, this would’ve never happened.’

They are celebrities and will always be under pulbic and media scrutiny. They both knew that the day they became famous. Sorry charlie, it comes with the territory. Their lives are played out in the media and the public has the right to read information and comment on it. If CB and Rihanna don’t like the spotlight, they need to quit drawing attention to themselves. If they don’t like it, get out of showbiz for ever.

hey - Shanise, the day CB laid his hands on Rihanna is the day he ruined his reputation. You are blaming anyone and anything and making lame excuses. CB chose to be a singer, he chose to be in the spotlight and he chose to brutalize Rihanna and leave her to fend for herself, not knowing whether he had killed her or not. 90 minutes later he turns himself in to the cops. CB chose to ruin his own REPUTATION, NOBODY DID IT FOR HIM, HE HAD OPTIONS. THE MEDIA DID NOT BRUTALIZE RIHANNA, GET THAT TROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL.

I personally love both chris and rihanna and i feel that the media has ruined chris’ reputation. Although it is never right to hit a woman, we really dont know the situation only what rihanna’s people/family are saying. To my understanding rihanna did not call the police maybe becuz she started it niether is she pressing charges that alone says alot. I hope for the best of both of them and I hope eventually we all can put this behind us. We as people have to realize something they are only HUMAN BEINGS. If riri wants to take him back and they want the right to resolve it they have every right. LOve ya chris and rihanna

Rihanna should forgive Chris and forget him. She is too beautiful a woman to be with someone who is an abuser. Once an abuser, always an abuser! Rihana, please move on! There are plenty of great men out there who are dying to be with you and treat you the way you deserve. All the best to you!

And…true it is only their business how they handle things. True…only they know what really happened. Problem is, they are celebrities and unfortunately young people get molded by them because parenting in this country and most others has gone to the boob tube and internet and whatever stimulant a growing mind can find. Additionally, they knew when becoming a celebrity that this sort of thing would happen. I think whatever happens, they should at least do something to help a cause against domestic violence. As part of his rehab particularly, he should be forced to help in battered women’s shelters and see first hand how it affects women and children, he obviously forgot. She needs some self-esteem boosting courses. They are young, perhaps they can be helped and it won’t have the tragic end it so often ends in with situations like this.

Ya know…I don’t care how SORRY he is. UNACCEPTABLE. This sends the worst message to young people in general. Abuse happens in all types of relationships and she is basically saying its okay as long as the abuser is sorry. NO WAY. She needs to get her head examined for more than a crooked nose. If I were her father, I wouldn’t be behind her, I’d be in front of her with a shot gun and my sites on Brown, talking about, “If you come within 20 feet of my daughter again there will be nothing to identify you as a man.”

This is an unfortunate situation. They are both adults and sometimes lifes lessons is the ones we place on ourselves. I pray for both of them and pray that they both began to love each other the way Christ loves us all. I pray this does not happen again and that they both get the help and support they need to learn how to handle couple issues like mature adults. They are young very young. I am a 32 year old female and support them both. I’m not the Judge only God. I have no ILL feelings towards either one of them. Everyone needs to do some selfchecking before casting stones….. No one is perfect, no one life is perfect. I will never support the downfall of anyone. I don’t want my blessing cut wishing death into other peoples lives because of the choices they made that I may not agree with. America wake Up, especially young peopl.. Keep it Real… You all Still listen to R.Kelly, Watch Kobe play in the NBA, listen to Kanye’s music and he has ANGER issues.. What Type are you all??? Be honest, the truth hurts… Leave Rhianna and Chris alone, they answer to no one, but GOD. How MJB said in and interview… Also she went through issues with KC, drugs, fighting?? Also everyone is supporting Whitney Houston after her past issues and abusive, drug relationship with Bobby B. I don’t condon violence however, you all act like your perfect? Some of you bloggers have witness abuse too or know someone who has been abused, or ditch and recieved abuse…. Keep it Real… Pray for them instead of lynching them both or either or. It is her choice no one knows what happen on Chris, Rhianna & God. The public has no right to cast stones.. No right at all. I am so Glad I do not have to face the public on judgment day. God is so much more merciful. Rhianna & Chris B. Get past this and learn to love each other the right way and don’t use your bodies as weapons anymore. Stay focus and respecful, or take a break if things get to out of control… Life is too short and you see what type of people are in this world Unforgiving!!!!

It’s NEVER EVER okay for a man to hurt a woman (or a woman to hurt a man). But physically, obviously men will usually win. I hope she does not go back w/him and gets plenty of support from friends and family helping her to make the tough decision. In the public eye, a lot of young people will be watching her and i hopse she is strong enough to send out the message to them, being abused is never okay and should not be tolerated.

Well I suggest that if they are going to be together. then tell all other what ever. so many women and men go throught this stuff all day everyday. and stay together. and people would say. she should leave him, he is not worthy of her, people just consider. we all deal with something. from, lies, shacking up, fornication, adultry, false witness. verbal abuse, physical abuse and the worse kind of abuse is mental abuse all the rest psycial scars will heal, but mental scars will last a lil longer. so “he who is with out sin cast the first stone……dont worry Chris and Rhianna, these people couldnt throw a stone if they had Jesus Hands. hypocrits

Chris Brown will not stop “hitting” Rihanna or any other woman until he receives anger management and domestic violence counseling. It has been proven that without help the abuser, keeps abusing. I can not fault Rihanna for still being in love withhim, but she must hang tough until he receives the help that he needs. If he refuses, then she has to practice “tough LOVE” and not take him back. he will keep hitting her. Take care Rihanna and Chris.get help!
