Should she forgive Chris Brown?

I saw Rihanna's pictures, and I feel so sorry for her. How could Cris hit her like that. If Cris Brown was able to do that, then I think he will be able to do that again. Rihanna should think twice or even more before she accepts Cris back. Hitting and hurting a woman is unexcusable.

i think everyone derserves a second chance...

Perhaps the context of forgive and forget should be applied here. I think the situation had been awhile now, but it might still be clear in Rihanna's mind. Anyway, it's up to her. If she still loves CB, well we don't know that for sure.

Hi Flyboy. Yes, I believe she should forgive him, and then stay very far away from him. Forgiving does mean we condone a wrong, of course, or that we need to maintain contact with those who are dangerous. What it does is allow US a particular peace of mind so that can more freely move ahead in life. Karen

Perhaps one day Rhianna can forgive... when Chris Brown had sincerely apologized. Right now, his clip about being sorry is just an act in an attempt to salvage his image and his career. Chris Brown may be talented but he is also a spoiled brat. I don't wish to see him ever gain in the entertainment world.

No, I firmly believe that there are two circumstances in which a woman or man shouldn't forgive their partner. 1. If their partner has cheated on them. 2. Their partener has abused them physically, emotionally or mentally. Basically if a partner has done either of these things there is a great chance they will reoffend so to speak. They also great problems of their own that they need to sort out before reentering any sort of relationship with any one. Chris Brown shouldn't date any one at this point in time, he needs anger management and counselling. He also isn't much of a man, a real man wouldn't hurt his partner. Chris is a coward. Partners are meant to cherish and support each other, not bully. There should be a basic trust between partners and I don't believe this Rhianna and Chris could have trust again in their relationship. I hope Rhianna finds someone who truely loves her, or if its what she needs a break from the dating scene.

No. If someone hits me I'm never forgiving them because they'll keep doing it.

First I think there is too side to a story. We only heard Chris Brown hurt Rhianna. Unfortunately I did not go to the courtroom to hear the story and I don't trust the media because they only report the negative. It is always best to forgive someone and move on. These two do not need to be together. It is bad for their health. If it happen once it will happen again if both of them do not get councelling. Yes I said both of them.

I think so. She should give him another chance. There are 2 chances in life. Chris use the first chance he should have another. To see if he had learn any thing from his past mistake. A lot of times in life people have some bad times when they cant control their self. Maybe that was his turn. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GIVE CHRIS BROWN A CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I think Rihanna should forgive Chris Brown for the abuse he inflicted on her. However, I believe from now on that they should both stay far away from each other at all times.

No I dont think Rihanna should ever forgive Chris Brown for what he did. Physical abuse is unacceptable and is not something you can just let and forget about. In some cases people deserve second chances but I dont think that goes for this incident. Just like aposter above both abuse and cheating should never be forgiven no matter what the circumstances are ot how many times people say they are sorry. They did it and that is it. End of story.

I don't understand it if it is true. I haven't been keeping up with the tabloids lies lately.If Rihanna has forgiven him that is one thing.but to return to her abuser is just insane.She looks intelligent so I won't believe untile it is confirmed by reliable sources.Where are the role models for our young girls?who want to be just like this celebrity or that one .Is fame so important they done care about young people?I fear they done care.and that's a shame

No she should not! I love Chris Brown but hitting your girlfriend is defenitly over the top! I hope he will change!

If that's what she wants to do..Yes..Nobody knows exactly what happened in that car besides the two of them, and we never will..*shrugs*

If Chris Brown is really sorry for what he did, I think he should be given a second chance. If he can get some counseling and anger management, It would be effective and definitely will help him change his attitude issues.
