		<description>The thing is that the longer she says nothing and lets the speculation run wild - the more it may seem as if she is condoning his actions.

One one hand, it is a lot to expect a music celebrity to be more than the shallow world they operate in...but if she could find it within herself to stand u on this issue - it would literally save people&#039;s lives!</description>

		<description>Amen Guys,
She could be making a real difference by speaking out. I have a feeling that she does not have the strength to do it. Sometimes some people equate drama and attention, even if it is the wrong type eg; Jealousy, anger, shouting, arguments etc with Love. He loves me so much because he gets so jealouse and so perpetuating the idea that she 9the woman) pushed him to loose his temper, row, get violent. 
This pattern has to be broken and sometimes that belief system goes back to childhood, what relationships the person witnessed as a child etc.
It doenst look like she is ready to recognise any of the root issues and she is still in Love with chris Brown, so I think it will have to get allot worse before she leaves.
But Oprah is right- once he has done it once- he will do it again. It is only a matter of time. 
I dont think we can lump all the expectations of battered women eveywhere on to Rihanna&#039;s shoulders. But I just hope she gets out sonner rather than later and takes care of herself.</description>
