Are you ready to discuss a rumored engagement on behalf of Rihanna and Chris Brown? I’m definitely not ready for this (and probably never will be), but here goes. These are photos of Rihanna arriving with Chris at a Grammy afterparty where she dumped that amazing red dress, and she’s wearing clearly a ring on her “special” finger. The ring looks to be a very simple silver band in these photos, which may or may not be the same ring that RiRi wore onstage while performing at the Grammys where she also cuddled up to Chris Brown in the audience. In these photos, the ring does look slightly diamondy, and who really knows what (if anything) this ring actually means, but Rihanna definitely wants you to notice it, so lookie here:
At the afterparty, of course, Chris and Rihanna partied until the very wee hours of the next morning and were basically all over each other:
Rihanna and Chris Brown walked away empty-handed from the Grammy Awards at L.A.’s Staples Center on Sunday (Feb. 10) — but the on-again couple still felt like total winners in one another’s company. During the evening of lively performances, Brown, 23, noticeably failed to join the audience in numerous standing ovations for the likes of Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and his nemesis Frank Ocean.
Notes one observer to Us Weekly: “The only time Chris Brown stood up the entire show was during Rihanna’s two performances (her powerful ballad “Stay,” and during a tribute to Bob Marley). Otherwise, he stayed seated.” Indeed, although Brown and Rihanna, 24, didn’t walk the red carpet together, they happily posed for several photos together inside the auditorium — with Rihanna, clad in a stunning red Azzedine Alaia gown, cuddling with her man, wearing a white Lanvin suit.
The celebrating continued after the awards-fest — four years after Brown’s assault of Rihanna — at the Zing Vodka Post Grammy Party held at Hollywood’s Supperclub, where Brown served as host.
Having changed into a white outfit, Rihanna arrived past midnight and joined Brown at a private table near the DJ booth — sitting in between Brown’s legs, according to a witness. Sipping a cocktail and smoking a cigarette, Rihanna chatted with girlfriends and Brown danced in his seat to the music. Later, the pair sat side by side, whispering in each other’s ears and “getting very affectionate,” the observer says.
When the DJ played Rihanna’s song “Birthday Cake” — Brown recorded vocals on a remix version of the track — the pair both sang and danced along. Escorted by their security team, the couple departed the bash around 2:30 a.m.

So have Rihanna and Chris taken the “next step” in their relationship and gotten engaged? Probably not, but either one or both of them want us to talk about it. They’re “living [their] truth” for the time being, and they want us to look at their coupley, straddling photos, but they don’t dare want us up in their business. I hate to say it, but I’m kind of over this mess. Rihanna has made her choice, and she’ll (sadly) end up living with the consequences sooner or later. Either that, or Chris will be cuddling with Karrueche Tran next week. Engagement? Nice try.

She is super gorgeous – even her hands are gorgeous. She should cool it on that tattoos, tho.
Can’t hate on her bc of CB – she’s in a bad place and it could take her years to get over him and even then she might just replace him with another abusive jerk unless she gets some professional help. Sad.

That’s true, she’s already got too many tattoos. She will be removing at least some of them in say 10-15 years.

when she was performing at the Grammys my mom asked me if “that girl” always showed her bra to the world and I told her it was a tattoo. She was disgusted.

It’s definitely question of taste. I’m not a big fan of tattoos and I have none but that Isis tattoo Rihanna has on her chest is one of the most beautiful tattoos I have ever seen. I love it. I like the one on her ankle too.

I agree, as much as I hate cb and his abusive behaviour I don’t really hate riri because she grew up in an abusive home and probably thinks this kind of behaviour is okay. What we are as adults depends a lot on what happened in our childhood. She needs help , her relationship and low self esteem are just the damage her parents caused her. She is the collateral damage of an abusive household. I don’t hate her,I feel sorry for her and pity her knowing that her fame will never allow her to take help or be reflective and accept that she needs help because she is surrounded by yes Ma’am people and fans who thinks she is great just the way she is.

I react the same way. She’s so screwed up and she doesn’t know it and it’s not like she got the home training or family sanity to lead her to make different decisions. I think she’s mistaking the fear and exasperation people feel about her choices as petty puritanism from haters who don’t understand what they’ve got so they should take care of their own lives. But it’s not for nothing that her hedonism levels and R-Rated persona have shot up exponentially since this all happened. I wish she’d get help and be stronger but she doesn’t think anything is wrong because for the time being, she’s getting what she wants: a cheating and unrepentant, abusive and dangerous criminal. That’s her ‘truth’.

I have around that many tattoos. One is the quote “deep in each man is the knowledge that something knows of his existence. something knows and cannot be fled or hid from.” by Cormac McCarthy. It snakes from my shoulder to wrist on my right arm in small font. A lot of people hate quote tats but oh well.
Anyway, I agree she should cool it on the tattoos. I have to be very judicious if I plan to get any more of them. So far I have 7. They clutter your skin after a while and interrupt any look you’re going for. That might be ok on me [and as a psych maj I will mostly have to wear long sleeves to work] but on a pop star who is always being photographed it can get dicey. She needs to be versatile.
That said, I love her tattoos. I even love the one on her chest but I do worry how it might look when she’s older. Oh well.

I’d be a lot less disgusted with these two if he was at least being faithful. Forgiving someone is one thing but letting them humiliate and walk all over you is another.

She has no self esteem at all and is dumb. I would never allow someone to treat me like this. Plus he is NOT a prize, ugly, semi-talented, abusive, violent and nasty, she could have done so much better, not anymore though.

What a role model she is to all of the young women who look up to her. Pathetic. I have no respect for Chris or Rihanna and predict the unfortunate reality of this relationship, should it continue, will be tragic.

It’s very sad that this idiot should be a role model for young women. And I agree about their future being tragic, but that’s what she’s willing to risk. No sympathy from me when it happens though sorry.

I am over it, too. I didn’t read Rihanna stories for a while until this one.
She is a hopeless case and making such a fool out of herself, I can’t care anymore.
I give it 1-2 weeks until he’s fooling around on her again.

I think a lot of folks are over it. At this point the only thing that would intrigue me would be if he hit her again. Otherwise they’re both too damn thirsty for attention and drama.
Sadly I think even if Rihanna did move on from Chris she’d just replace him with another abusive jerk. I don’t see her ever getting wiser or smarter, even in her 40′s. As of now she’s settling for a dude who punched her face in and is publicly screwing around on her.

Pitiful;
If you have to be all over each other and sit in his lap, you are DESPERATE!
That’s no engagement ring, the engagement ring will be through her nose so he can lead her around like the dumb heifer HE (Chris) thinks she is.

I don’t usually ‘feel’ for celebrities when I read gossip. I just do it for entretainment. Like, do I feel sad for LeAnn or Brandi? No.
But I do feel very sad for Rihanna, as I see such a powerful woman being a victim of the classic abuser, and the fact that she is so blind and cannot see what the whole world sees is disturbing. I feel sad for RiRi, as I was once in her shoes.
Hopefully she’ll come to her senses before he breaks her heart (and face) again.

This girl has the world at her feet but is choosing to waste her time with a worthless man. Girlfriend has no self esteem. Very sad.

I hate the ignorant attitude that a lot of people have toward domestic violence. Like her or not, Rihanna was a victim of domestic abuse and she needs help more than she needs to be criticized.
Chris Brown, on the other hand, feel free to criticize because he’s proven himself to be a douchebag in general.

Conversely, I’m tired of everyone treating Rihanna as nothing more than a victim.
She’s allegedly just as violent as he is – he’s just stronger.

She may have some issues with outbursts but I’ve never seen report that says she beat and strangled and threatened to kill someone over a sustained period of at least 10 mins while the person was bleeding and near passing out. Chris on the other hand…

I didn’t realize it was a contest.
It’s like saying someone isn’t fat just because their spouse/SO is fatter, IMO.
To be clear, I’m not defending Difficult Brown in any fashion – I just think they’re equally violent, and that violence isn’t just measured by strength, but also intent.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
@Stoner- I would argue that intent is measured by strength. Knowing that your punch is going to bounce off someone like they got hit with a beach ball influences your behavior- you don’t think it’s that bad to throw a punch, because it isn’t. He is much stronger, and knows that when he throws a punch at a 100-pound woman, it’s going to do some damage. So the intent behind his punch is different from the intent behind hers. I’m not saying it’s okay for her to punch him, but I am saying that it’s not okay for him to punch her back, and that’s not an excuse for him at all.

Chris grew up in a abusive home too. His mom’s bf use to beat her up when he was young. Ri is far from a victim, she has anger issues just like he does. She once even hit her lil brother with a wine bottle. Both of them are repeating the cycle they saw at home. They need to be separated and get help.

I disagree with you saying that Rihanna is far from a victim.
And yes, I understand that Chris is a victim of growing up in an abusive household and I do agree that he needs help, but he’s proven himself to be an arrogant asshole in general, with or without the abuse.

I’m older. My ring is plain by modern standards. I do love the newer style diamand cuts and colors, but I tend to view simpler designs as more serious, and that ring looks wifey. Like, wear it to clean the house in, wifey.

That looks more like a wedding band than an engagement ring.
Would not be surprised at all if tey get married at some point in time. They will then go on to have a tumultous, dysfunctional, violent relationship full of substance abuse and no respect for eachother. Then she’ll give an interview years down the line saying how “Hindsight is always 20/20″ and she was “young and foolish and in love.”
They are the new Whitney and Bobby.

No way is it an engagement ring it is just too small. These two would have something huge and over the top. I think it’s just a shiny little something to catch people’s eye.

A lot of people are chastising her based on being a role model. I’m sorry, but she is not a role model, and if you allow your child to listen and look up to someone who sings a song called S&M (I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it), I feel Rihanna is probably the least of your child’s problems. She isn’t prancing around saying look up to me, she’s walking around posting pictures half naked and holding joints. She’s a musician, not a saint. If your child needs a female role model, either step up (if you are female) and be one, or find her one in a family member, or maybe a female scientist, writer, or astronaut.

She is very purposely holding that hand out & up in every picture so either it is an engagement ring or she did it to make people think it is and get some attention she so desperately seems to need 24/7.

I think the biggest and most noticeable ring Rihanna will receive from Chris Brown is a big black one around one of her eyes.
He’s a disgusting pig. She WAS a victim. She is now informed. Going back to someone who shows so little regard to the felony he committed that he faked his probation hours (allegedly) is beyond stupid.
I’m over them both.

But aren’t the majority of women who endure domestic abuse also women? They are, so that point doesn’t wash with me. Not every abuse victim is going to fit he profile of ‘downtrodden enough’ to be forced to stay in that situation so there must be others reasons that people stay. If it doesn’t make ‘sense’ to us that so many stay when to our eyes they could go there have to be other forces at work, right? I just don’t feel like I have the authority or knowledge to explain or explain away the reasons for an abused person to stay in the relationship when my eyes don’t give the reason I want or understand, so I won’t do it. Admittedly, I think she’s generally a fool but I still have compassion for her as I do all domestic abuse survivors. But Almighty, we all have to do something about our problems, else we punish ourselves for their crimes and inflict our brokenness on others, decreasing the quality of life of everyone but the ones who actually wronged us. That’s just fairness.
