Just in time for the ooey-gooey romance of Valentine's Day, we bring you sensationalized rumors surrounding the domestic abuse quarrel between 20-year old R&B sensation Rihanna and her 19-year old sometime-boyfriend, Chris Brown. Though many sources claim the young couple had been canoodling as usual in the days leading up to the Grammy's on Sunday, insiders claim that Brown was convinced his girlfriend was getting something on the side from fellow Grammy-performer Timberland. Though Rihanna responded that she had barely spoken to the rapper all weekend, Brown clearly didn't believe her. He was arrested early Sunday morning on charges of assault. He has since rescinded his scheduled appearance at the NBA All-Star Weekend this coming month.
The incident, rife with hearsay and rumor, highlights the often secretive nature of domestic abuse, and Brown's high-profile arraignment sets an example for the ramifications of violence against women. We all hope Rihanna finds a more suitable Valentine for Saturday night.
