My Stance On the Rihanna Issue

I've remained hush-hush on the Rihanna-Chris Brown bomb that blew up way back on the night of the Grammy's, and avoided updating here because bviously there's a million articles out there updating every time any little thing happens, so I stayed away.

This isn't an update necessarily, but I like Roseanne's stance on this whole issue:
from a perezhilton.com entry:
"Roseanne says a lot of things. She says a lot of outrageous things and she says a lot of stupid things, and sometimes she says something really insightful.

In her blog Roseanne proposes that Rihanna is part of her own problem because she is just as "violent" as Chris Brown.

According to Roseanne, Rihanna "thinks she has him right where she wants him now. His career is over, and he is working her to help him get it back. She thinks that since he needs her and has shown some contrition, that she can call the shots now. Violent people are control freaks, and she thinks she is in control right now. Violent couples also have passionate make up sex, and that keeps a lot of battered and beaten women hooked. Once she realizes that her fans and their parents are going to write her off completely and end her career as well as his if she stays with him, that might convince her not to do that."

Inneresting!

She adds, "Her publicists and agents and lawyers and producers are all telling her not to risk she and brown's tandem endorsements (they don't care if she lives or dies, as long as they get their money). She is being played and used and isolated from her father. Her greed and her participation in violence, plus not wanting to cross Diddy, who wants her to put her life on the line, are powerful lures to stay in hell with a monster. I hope she lets go of her need to control other people. I hope she thinks about the horrifying message she is sending to young women and young men. She will never survive choosing brown over her dad."

It actually makes a lot of sense!
She might be on to something!"
