Rhianna set to take stand today in Chris Brown case

Categories: Music, News

Rhianna is prepared to testify at Chris Brown's preliminary hearing today, which would mark the first time she publicly tells her side of what happened the night her boyfriend allegedly assaulted her, CNN reports.  The star may be questioned by Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, about the couple's Grammy-night argument in a rented Lamborghini that, according to charges, turned violent. Though Geragos has said he wanted to avoid a public trial, plea-deal talks failed and a judge last week rejected his request to delay the hearing. The 20-year-old Brown pleaded "not guilty" to felony counts of assault and making criminal threats; he could face up to four years and eight months in prison if convicted. Cameras will not be allowed in today's hearing, which determines whether there is enough evidence against Brown to go to trial.

    I wonder what reallly happened but those pictures on the internet looked like he beat her..i still like both of their music but i wonder what it’ll do to chris brown’s career

  • cmb allday

    im a big fan of chris brown and for ALL OF HIS REAL FANS this is really stressful.

  • Ghristy

    Rhianna attacked brown while he was driving, this is a crime, and she needs to take this charge as well. Women should not be allowed to use their hands on men as well as men should not, he is a minor he is under 21. YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO HIT YOUR OWN KIDS OR THEY WILL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THE HOME. So in this case i am wondering what happens here.

  • Sick of Chris Brown

    Chris Brown is a Loser, and a Woman Beater, he needs to go to JAIL . he looked great the next day, she looked horrible ! What a monster he is, now we all know the truth on what goes on behind closed doors. Can’t wait to see what he gets coming to him.

  • Chris Brown is Pathetic

    No excuses now CB!!!! Your day has come. I used to love his music, now I know what he is really like, I can’t stand to look at him. BEATER, CHEATER! Yuck and yuck. Poor Girl! No one deserves to get beat like that!!!! Shame on Chris Brown!!! I hope he gets JAIL TIME LOSER!!!

    not guilty he says, so not only does he beat up ladies, he is also a big liar too, and he swore on the bible in court he didn’t do it, so he also doesn’t believe in god either, so he beats, lies and hates god, triple threat! do the crime, do the time evil thing.

    he’s going to make a lot of new fans in chino’s “house of ass-pounding” correctional facility.
    How do you mongoloid cb fans compare a full grown man pummeling a young woman to said young woman slapping him for messing around on her. you need to be euthanized as your dragging down the median intellect of this country.

  • ashley

    people make mistakes. damn why cant you get over it and move on. idk if he did or not but besides that stop judgin. hes just a another human being. stop tryin 2 tare him down. god has the rite to judge not you. so im not goin against it or for it. but im still a CHRIS BROWN FAN. he just make a mistake. LET GO AND LET GOD… DAMN!!!!!

  • Megan

    I’m willing to bet Rhianna won’t talk about how she assaulted Chris first. Stupid talentless trash, she is.

  • Gary Wilcox

    I don’t hate Chris Brown, and I don’t idolize either him or Rhianna. I think these events were devastating to both of them, but as Rhianna did contact police and made a statement, Brown must now answer for his criminal actions. If you like Brown and want his career to continue on, I think you should probably hope he will change his plea and accept responsibility for his actions. Not Guilty is not a legal strategy, it’s a declaration, and if he is worth the love his fans have for him, he will own up to it, get help, and try to be a better man for all parties. Please, please stop defending him by saying only God can judge him. If he wants to make money in our hometowns, he needs to also answer for any crimes he has committed.

    Everyone is making a big deal it. Of course he hit a female, but this isn’t the first time this has happend in the celebrity world. There were many celebrity fight. I don’t think anyone has the right to say that Chris Brown is a monster or he is this and he is that. No one really knows what happend that night. I den herd nearly 4 diffrent stories about what happend. So i think that until everyone knows what really happend, everyone just need to mind ther own buisness. No one should have the right to down talk either one. Yeah im a Chris Brown fan, but im not going to stop listening to his music over some foolishness. Alot of people just making a big deal out of this. I herd a lady in wal mart the other day telling her child to put his CD back on the shelf because he likes to beat on women. That’s why I say all the Chris Brown fans need to step up. It’s either you like him or not.I mean of course people talkin bout him, they talked about Jesus, && he was perfect. Life is too short :]
