Rihanna's Attorney: She 'Would Like This Over as Quickly as Possible'

0305rihanna1.jpg

A conversation between Rihanna's attorney Donald Etra and Chris Brown was overheard while they were standing in front of the microphone immediately following Brown's hearing this afternoon. Etra approached Brown and said, "I think Rihanna would like this over as quickly as possible. It benefits everybody."

Brown told Etra, "I'm a little confused on the terms of everything... and the proceedings and what's going on." Etra responded, "Mark [Geragos, Brown's attorney] will explain it and I'll explain it to Rihanna." Stepping in, Geragos said, "I've explained it to you that the best thing that could happen in this case is Don is involved. Didn't I tell you that?" Etra added, "And I would say to you that the best thing to you is that Mark is involved."

The judge moved Brown's request for a continuance to April 6. In addition, the judge did not grant a "no-contact order."

County road 233, under my feet
Nothin’ on this white rock but little ol’ me
I’ve got two miles till, he makes bail
And if I’m right we’re headed straight for hell

I’m goin’ home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight, well now he’s got one
And he ain’t seen me crazy yet
He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don’t that sound like a real man?
I’m gonna show him what little girls are made of
Gunpowder and lead

Well it’s half past ten, another six pack in
And I can feel the rumble like a cold black wind
He pulls in the drive, gravel flies
He don’t know what’s waitin’ here this time

Don’t that sound like a real man?
I’m gonna show him what little girls are made of
Gunpowder and lead

His fist is big but my gun’s bigger
He’ll find out when I pull the trigger

A search warrant affidavit filed by a Los Angeles police detective described a brutal fight in which Brown allegedly punched, bit and choked Rihanna until she nearly lost consciousness.

Court documents released Thursday revealed details about the case against Brown, including a police statement that the incident began when Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, found a text message on Brown’s cell phone from “a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with.”

A search warrant used by police to obtain cell phone records related to the case included the sworn statement by Los Angeles Police Detective DeShon Andrews in which he detailed what allegedly happened in the early morning hours of February 8.

“Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn F. as the front passenger on an unknown street in Los Angeles. Robyn F. picked up Brown’s cellular phone and observed a three-page text message from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with.

“A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.

“Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.’s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.

“Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, ‘I’m going to beat the s—t out of you when we get home! You wait and see!’ “

The detective said “Robyn F.” then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.

“Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, ‘I’m on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.’

“After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, ‘You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I’m really going to kill you!’

“Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.

“Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.

“Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street.

“Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

“Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.

“Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.’s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.

“She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown’s body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.

“Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.’s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.”

At the end of his statement, Andrews said Brown sent a text message nine days later apologizing.

“In the text message, Brown apologized for what he had done to Robyn F. and advised [Rihanna’s assistant] Ford that he was going to get help.”


Brown issued a public apology for the incident last month.

“Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired,” he said in a statement released by his spokesman. “I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person.”

I think he needs to get help so he never does it again and until that happens they need to stay away from each other. Her safety should be the #1 concern if he cares for her. I do think it is possible for him to overcome this if he puts the effort into becoming a better man and working on his issues.

everyone needs to back away. Unless you were there when the incident occured or involved…It’s easy to put the blame and take side, but how about we give chris Brown the benefit of the doubt and let him tell his side of the story. The boy is 19..still a teenager.. And when Jay-z allegedly stabbed someone and got 3 years probation, you all wasn’t saying much so let the boy live his life without all the judgement! He is going to deal.. prison or not.. The boy is still going to live with whateva that happened for the rest of his life..so let him go through this on his own! and lets worry bout OUR OWN problems.. how about the recession huh?

Whoever, whatever…..they’re all crazy! If anyone hits another, it’s ridiculous and does not mean the person loves you.

You may not like what I wrote but the possibility is the truth. Rihanna is a hot temper and aggressive woman. I guess you don’t recall her going off on JayZ at the Grammy last year on stage and he was not her man. Who makes a scene at an event this grand with millions of people watching? She even said in a televised interview that she hit her brother across the face with a glass bottle. Have one of you ever hit your brother or sister with a bottle? But you want to think she did not throw any punches in that car, and sat quietly in that seat taking a beat down. She grew up around violence, so it is a natural instinct of hers, too. She can handle herself in a fight with Chris. He did walk away once he got out of clutches. Unfortunately, she holds the power over him now and there is nothing he can do about it until the legalities are over.

in my opinion, i think that if chris brown really did hurt rihanna like she said he did then she wouldnt have anything to say to him. so to me the whole thing is a bunch of confusion.

Rihanna , you are a great young woman who have everything before you and nothing to loose. Continuing with Chris Brown just isn’t right. However, now that you have decided to continue with him just get ready for another beat-up. This wasn’t last time he get violent towards you, it never is. Do not get confused with depedencey relationship and true love. All the best to you!

I think that if Rhianna wants to be with him that is her buisiness. That leads me to believe that she may not be telling her role in this situation. I do kind of find it hard to believe that he did all this while driving a stick shift. I just hope all gets worked out and it really isnt an escalating event. Maybe at the time she was really upset and just started saying whatever. She is still a person and people do things like that when they are mad at another. Who knows. I wish them both the best.
