I expect her record company forced her to make such a statement... did you notice how what she "said" mirrored almost exactly what the record company person said?
Exageration?
She was choked until close to blacking our, her face was repeatedly rammed into a car window, and she was punched in the face. Rihanna weighs I would gues a max of 120 pounds, Chris Brown is a physically fit 20 year old man.
This is an absolutely disgusting crime, and I really cannot understand how the court can claim that the law has been upheld when he can walk away from this with nothing more than probation and a few hours community service (which I expect he will serve going round schools and telling young men that they can get away with beating up their girlfriends if they are rich enough to hire really expensive counsel)
This is very very disappointing.
Its sad to say it, but it is no wonder that so many crimes of domestic violence are unreported. This isnt just a knock to the American system because it is similar in many nations - basically assaulting a women is just a bit of a joke to the male dominated legal system and all the criminal normally gets is a slap on the wrist.
