Rihanna Wants Chris Brown Court Order Downgraded
Remember when Rihanna and Chris Brown happened to check into New York’s Trump International Hotel and Tower a few weeks back and then just happen to be dining across the street from one another at the same time? The reason the pair can't be seen together in public is this nasty little court order that's in place. Well, Rihanna has requested for it to be downgraded.
The ‘Umbrella’ singer doesn’t feel it is necessary for the ‘Run It’ singer – who pleaded guilty of assaulting her in February – to have to keep 50 yards away from her at all times.
Instead, she feels a level-one protective restraining order would be sufficient.
Her lawyer Donald Etra said:
"That order would prevent Chris from annoying, molesting or harassing her. That level-one order would fully protect her. The order in effect now is a stay-away order preventing them from coming within 50 yards of each other. But Rihanna's position from the beginning is that there was no need for that level of protective order."
What do you think this means? Are these two back together and looking for permission to go out in public again?

If she gets back together with him, i will forever lose respect for this girl.
Well Elaineunodostres, she is with him and she has been with him for awhile now. They just make sure they are not seen together in public. I guess it is her choice and it is her business, but she does makes a joke out of domestic abuse.--------

I had heard rumors to that extent but nothing official has come out saying they are together. Given the restraining order, that's understandable. I know it's her choice and her business. I'm just exercising my own choice to no longer be a fan. What's up with Elaineunodostres? WTH is that?

Gisela, I feel like such a dork....it just occurred to me what Elaineunidostres was about. I had to say it phonetically to realize it. Cute, very cute!

The Cycle of Abuse if you ask me...

Exactly! She needs some serious counseling! She is so lucky that there wasn't a permanent head injury. How quickly she forgets. He needs to stay away from her - PERIOD! She is not in any position to request this change. She doesn't have an objective view of the situation. He abused her on multiple occasions. She doesn't want Chris making public statements and brining it back into the news but she doesn't mind being in the same place with him??? What does she think photos of them together would do? She needs a clean and permanent break from him. WAKE UP Rhianna!
Is women like this who make it so hard for women who are abused and want the help, who have no home and end up in a homeless shelter, women who are afraid for their lives and the lives of their kids; is these women that end up dead. The police don't take them seriously, I hope he pops her really good in one eye next time and maybe then her brain synapse will shift to the correct position. YEAH, I SAID IT, SUE ME!!--------

you are so right ,cops don't give a sh*t what happen to those woman ..they think that if they're not smart enough to leave those bastard then they should just the hell up and drown in their pain...just like donna's mom it happend to me ,but for a shorter period of time ..i'm all fine now :)
Good, I'm glad you are fine, you are too sweet for crap like that. I had a friend who was abused and she stayed. Any time of the day 2am, 4am I was there. I didn't care what time it was. I told her, call me when you need me, it didn't matter. I meant it too, I'm the kind of friend who will jump out of bed at whatever time of the day and run to help a good friend.( with my baseball bat, though...LOL!)-------

Im glad that you finally got to realise, and most important that you had such a great friend by your side. XOXO Sweet Kiddo
thanks yayi xx
they're young and stupid, and apparently think they know it all. She has no idea that this will forever impact her life.
The sad fact is a lot of abused women and victims of domestic violence do the same thing she is doing.

I watched my step-father bash my mother's face in for 16 years. She would leave him and always go back...mostly because she was terrified of him. She finally left him after 16 years of terrible abuse and she never looked back. I'm proud to report that he died alone and in a lot of pain.
I'm sorry about what happened to your mom.------

I feel your pain DonnaJ....my Father abused my mother for 18 years. At the end he started to beat and choke my sister and I. She finally left him after he almost severed her finger off by biting it. So sad that we had to endure such a fearful childhood. I still don't speak to my father.....he still does drugs and is still the biggest loser I've known to date. He doesn't even know any of his grandchildren! ---em's
Sorry em's. :(--------

I wish Rihanna would take into account that little girls look up to her, it would be a horrible message if she publicly went back to her abuser.

she better not take him back but then at the same time since they're both in the same business and hang around in the same area and they probably have the same friends, they are bound to run into each other....maybe she's finding it very frustrating and annoying that she can't be in certain area because chris brown is going to be there. as long as she is protected by security guards, I don't think chris brown is going to do anything stupid - he is afterall in the public eye and he already lost a lot of fans. I'm sure he's going to try to win them back.

I hope she knows what she's doing, cause to me it sounds like she doesn't want to understand

I still don't get why he got off so lightly. And now this. He will do it again, no matter if it's Rihanna who'll get hurt or another girl.

the next time he beats the crap out of her or maybe kills her, don't come crying Princess RiRi.

Looks like she'll only get it when they have kids and he starts beating them up too.
Riri wants chris back to remain relevant but, she wants the order of protection only for harrassment, annoyance and molestation so that she can keep him in line. Either you do what I say or I will call the cops and say you harrassed me or something to that effect. If Chris was smart, which it doesn't seem like, he would just leave that trouble alone. If his mother has any say (which I doubt considering she let them get together when he was 17) she would advise his to stay as far away from the disease as humanly possible. WITH OR WITHOUT THE RESTRAINING ORDER.

WTF? LMAO. You can't possibly be serious. Nobody can be this ignorant. Go to MTO or Bossip with the rest of the ignorant, ghetto buffoons. BTW, I wouldn't say a person that has number 1 hits, sold 15 million ablums world wide, and having million dollar contracts with Covergirl, Nike, Gucci and Gillette needing anybody to stay relevant. ON TOPIC: Anyway, if this is true she is a damn fool. Riri is my age and like most girls my age she thinks she knows it all. Hopefully she wise up before she is in ICU or the graveyard.

Abuse does happen to everyone in the family. I have been going to therapy for over a year due to what I remembered caused me to have a breakdown at the age of 41. Hard on my family and my children who are teenagers. They don't know their biological grandparents. I cut them out of my life for my own survival. I have never abused my children and my therapist and psychiatrist tells me that I am stronger than I realize. It's hard to live in abuse and to not then marry into abuse.

She is just perpetuating the problem of domestic voilance.
4055 points
okay I have not known many women who were sufferring in domestic violence, but to me one is more than enough. A family friend went back to her husband after he had been abusing her for years, and he CHANGED (lots of counseling and work on his part) to this day he has not laid a hand on her again. He is the ONLY ONE i have ever known to have changed. it gives me a bit of hope but not enough to say this girl isn't making a mistake.
I hope this is really about convenience in regards to attending same industry events but I doubt it.

She looks super cute in those pictures. Btw i doubt that they might be back together. Or atleast i refuse to believe that shes that stupid and close minded.

She looks fabulous :) The purple looks amazing on her. =^_^=
I hope this isn't true, but these two airheads might be engaged. I just saw pics of her on celebsession wearing an engagement ring--and the pics were taken yesterday:http://www.celebsession.com/2009/08/rihanna-back-with-chris-brown.html Also, the same site said that her lawyers are asking to have his restraining order lifted in today's hearing. If it's true, she's even more stupid than I thought.

I checked out that site. If that it an engagement ring, that is the sorriest, most pathetic ring I have ever seen. I doubt it is.

hope its not true, there is no excuse for what happened and there should be no reason to get back together with him.

If she does go back to him, she will regret it.
