Grammy Drama: Did R&B Artist Chris Brown Beat Up Girlfriend Rihanna?
Peace indeed!
Reports are surfacing that scheduled performer Rihanna was a no-show for the Grammys tonight after being injured in a "car accident." Problem with that story is it coincides with another report about her boyfriend Chris Brown being wanted for questioning by police after an incident involving Chris "allegedly" beating up a woman sometime last night. Here are the details from The Insider:
Sources at the Grammys tell "The Insider" that Rihanna's face is slightly bruised and no announcement has been made as to who will be taking her place on stage. "We have just been informed that Rihanna will not be attending tonight's 51st Annual GRAMMY Awards. We're sorry she is unable to join us this evening," The Recording Academy's statement reads.Related to the Brown investigation, police say Brown and the woman were in a vehicle in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles when, following an argument, the woman was allegedly injured, naming Brown as her attacker. When police arrived, they only found the woman; Brown had left. The Associated Press reported Sunday afternoon that police were still looking for the male R&B star.
Police say they received a 911 call related to the incident which occurred around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday. The LAPD is investigating the incident.
Color me jaded and somewhat suspicious, but I'll bet these two events are related. If it turns out that Chris Brown (who I USED to like) beat on our sweet little RiRi, I will personally give him a beatdown, or at least write mean and vicious things about him on this here website. Seriously, few things are more loathsome than a grown-ass man beating on a woman. Shame on him for hitting any woman. Throw the book at him, and a shoe, and perhaps a heavy purse for good measure.
Actually, if this is true, I'm sure Jay-Z will make sure Chris is "taken care of " if you know what I mean.
We will keep you posted on this story.
Update: TMZ is reporting that Chris Brown turned himself into authorities this evening to answer questions about the incident. They are still refusing to name the female who accused Brown of assaulting her, but the TMZ report states that Chris and Rihanna were together earlier in the evening at that much-talked about Clive Davis pre-Grammy party. hmmm....the plot thickens.
