For all the Chris (ex-)fans, are you surprised at this? Chris has always been an asshole, before and after the incident, and this is hardly the worst thing he's ever done. What was that thing he said on Graffiti? "I never should have written Disturbia?"
Also, I don't know WHY people are suddenly coming after Rihanna calling her the **** of the industry, when she's been linked to roughly the same amount of prior as Chris and has much less ****ty/demeaning lyrics. And even if she was, it's much better to be a **** than a woman beater.
This is really not something Chris can just be excused for, just like all his other behavior. You're not making yourselves look good by defending him and dragging Rihanna.
