Dear Chris and Robyn,
This letter is humbly presented to both of you in this tragic time of need. In spite of what "exploitive television media, irresponsible internet journalism, judgmental radio stations, gossip-mongering blogs, and sycophant endorsers" carelessly release into the world's atmosphere, we're here to let you know we don't appreciate it, we don't support it, we're disgusted by it, and we're not going to stand by and just watch as "the powers that be" thoughtlessly, invasively, and extremely unreliably publicly LYNCH the reputations of two of the most prominent young people this world's been exposed to. We're here to take a stand against the supposed "powers" and insure that they have NO POWER and NO SAY in this matter at all.
In spite of what the public misguidedly believes, in spite of the pressures fame and the music industry place upon you, in spite of the magazines, bloggers, and music networks' attempts at capitalizing off of your star power in both the best and worst times of your experiences together: YOUR LIVES, YOUR LOVE, YOUR RELATIONSHIP is YOURS.
As your fans, we do not condone violence of any kind; we also do not support the villainous judgment, mischaracterizations, or blatant lies being purported about either of you with no factual basis to support them.
As your fans, we will not be relegated to choosing sides, making careless statements about a matter as serious as abuse, making negative assumptions, committing false and ridiculous acts of support by shredding CDs and making irresponsible calls to ban your music when innocence has yet to be ordained as guilt, and clarity has yet to be provided on an incident that took place in your private lives.
As your fans, we will not be manipulated by those who sit at keyboards with the sole intent to bring out the worst in the human spirit, the radio personalities, the red carpet instigators, and talking heads who were so quick to expose and rush in praise of your relationship, only to just as quickly judge, demean, denigrate, and exploit it all for the sake of ratings, readers, and eyeballs. They build you up massively, only to break you down and rip you apart severely… But as Donnie McClurkin said, "We fall down, but we get up!"
As your fans, your TRUE fans, we are here to say we love and support YOU BOTH. We are praying for YOU BOTH. We are rooting for YOU BOTH and we are here for YOU BOTH. You do not owe the world a thing. You only owe YOURSELVES time, rest, peace, counseling, and spiritual recuperation.
As your fans, we do not tolerate the falsehoods and negativity perpetuated and promoted by all media for the sake of relishing in your personal tragedy. Your hearts will heal, your stars will shine, and your spirits will rise above this meaningless thing called fame. YOUR WORLDS ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN ALL OF THIS, and for that, we stand in solidarity with both of you and pray that you work through your private matters alone and that you each can reclaim your worlds, once again, as your own.
In unwavering love and support to you both,
Your Fans."
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We do not know the entire story,and probably never will. This is an unfortunate situation, and people really need to stop and think about the hate that they spread. Quit using TMZ, Mediatakeout, and Bossip as reliable news and stop judging people when you don't know the facts. We are all human and we all have done things we regret. Respect them as individuals, and pray that they rise above it. We don't know them, and we don't know their relationship. These two know each other better than any fan or stan. Let them work this out.
ReplyDeleteI would love to challenge anyone who cared anything about CB & Ri to stop visiting these sites. Just stop. Don't entertain the bullshit, and don't spread it either. I really hope someone puts it in their ear, to come here.
<3!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are in my prayers. If God brought you to it, He'll bring you through it.
ReplyDeleteKeep your heads up kids. You have your whole lives ahead of you. Don't look toward the media or your handlers to dictate your actions. Look toward yourselves and your God to bring you through.
God bless you both.
Such a beautiful letter. I'm praying that Rihanna heals and they both get the help they need.
ReplyDeleteI just wish the media and outsiders would leave them alone.
People need to get the hell outta their business. They are too young to be going through this mess in public.
ReplyDeleteI wish the best for them both. I hope they consider starting a charity to help kids of victims of abuse. They should be getting help for those things when they occur, not when the behavior is repeated.
Anonymous, I think that is an excellent idea. There are many children out there growing up in abuse. I am sure once these two make it threw this storm, they can encourage the importance of getting help early so that no one has to experience this pain if it can be avoided!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely keeping you two in my prayers. God always has a way of making things happen that seem at first to our detriment, but in actuality are to our benefit in hindsight. You both have the hand of God upon you, and I just pray that he continues to guide you through these turbulent times. I know he will, and I know you two will rise again.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, whoever wrote this! All too often, the media runs rampant with stuff they haven't got a clue about, not thinking about the repercussions and real impact it has on people's lives. Just because you're a celebrity doesn't mean you don't have feelings or are immune to the ignorant crap losers put out there. Chris & Rihanna, my prayers go out to you both, your families, your friends, and loved ones. Tough times come along only to make you stronger, and you both will emerge from this sad situation better and stronger.
ReplyDeleteI don't judge because I don't know either of you or what happened, and honestly, it's not my or anybody else's place to know. But I do pray for God's protection over you both and that people get out of your way, stay out of your business, and let you both live your seperate lives the way you're supposed to.
Violence is wrong from both a man or a woman. Something tells me these two had a private altercation that got out of hand and blown out of proportion.
ReplyDeleteIt's wrong any way you look at it, but unless you're involved, you have no right to judge.
Screw the media. Keep doing ya'll!
I'm 22, from Barbados, and got word about dis message. We love our girl wholly, but we also love CB and know no man or woman is perfect. Thanks for writin. Regardless of what da media is sayin', dat boy was always smilin and goofin when he here with Robyn. She love him and he love her. I know it true. But God sometimes has a way of remindin dat he should be first in all our lives. Maybe dat's what it is. Anyway, I pray you two are able to see pass dis bad time one day and look only to da good ones. You will grow from it. Together or apart, you'll grow for da better.
ReplyDeleteGod has taken both you way too far to just sit back and watch you hang out to dry. You guys will get through this, trust.
ReplyDeleteWhat may seem like the end of the world now, is but a stepping stone to further greatness. If you love somebody, set them free, if they come back, it's meant to be.
I say this, after having married my husband 10 years after I turned 17 (having many years apart in between those 10 years.)
You two will weather this storm. Take your time and stay blessed.
Good luck on everything. I hope you guys work things out. Im keeping you 2 in my prayers. Luv you Both!!xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly how I feel right about now.
ReplyDeleteChris and Rih I wish y'all both the best
in the future. Two people with great potential.
Forget public opinion and the crazy media the media y'all BOTH deserve to continue y'all success.
Well, but for the last comment by the person who obviously didn't read, I agree with the rest.
ReplyDeleteChris and Rihanna, this too shall pass. It sucks that something like this actually happened, but through prayer, the support of your fans, and the support of your families, you'll get through this. Don't let the media or its junkies get to you. These fools are irrelevant at the end of the day. But a word of advice, just because something may not seem "as bad" as the media makes it out to be, doesn't mean that it's not bad.
Breezy, think long and hard about what you did to your lady, bro. No matter what she did, suck it up, take it like a man, and accept responsibility for being wrong. Your road to salvation will be much easier without any excuses. You're young, you'll learn, and the people will be there for you as long as you're willing to work to redeem yourself, man. Rihanna seems like a great girl, and just because the love brought you to this point doesn't mean the love didn't exist. It just means that right now might not be the best time for it.
Good luck and God bless both of you.
RIHANNA: GET WELL, SWEETIE. HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY. I'M PRAYING IT'S THE BEST AND YOU'LL BE OKAY.
ReplyDeleteCHRIS: I'M PRAYING FOR YOU TOO. PLEASE GET COUNSELING SO THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE, GO TO BARBADOS, APOLOGIZE TO HER FAMILY IN PERSON. IT'S THE LEAST YOU CAN DO. I DON'T FOLLOW MEDIA HYPE, BUT I DO KNOW WHEN STUFF IS BROKE, YOU BEST GET ON AND FIX IT FROM THE BOTTOM BACK UP TO THE TOP. STARTING WITH THE FOUNDATION AND PEOPLE WHO KNOW YOU THAT SUDDENLY FEEL THEY DON'T.
Breezy and Reezy: BAN TOGETHER! These media assholes are trying to take you both down. They don't give a f--- about either of you or who they hurt in the process. All they care about is exploiting your pain. Don't let them run you, don't let them have the control. Get help, be with family, and stick with the Lord. He will get you through this madness.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for both of you. This situation has me and most of my friends torn apart in so many ways. I can't believe this is happening, has happened, and wish it would all just go away. I'm sad that it even got to this point for both of you, sad that your situation will forever be scarred by this, sad that Rihanna is being humiliated by the media, and sad that Chris has been convicted as an absolute monster. I know there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. I just pray that both of you stay strong and see it. No matter what the outcome of these unfortunate events, God has a plan for you both. Know it. Believe it. Stay true to it.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you,
Emily
God Bless you Chris and Rihanna. I agree that Chris needs to go to Rihanna's family and let them know how sorry he is for everything that happened. I know it will never happen again and I just pray that these two will not let the media change who they are...two talented beautiful people in love. Hold your head up. Be strong. It's almost over now.
ReplyDeleteThank You! Someone posted up a link to this site, and I am so happy that she did. Finally, I found a site that feels the same way as I do. I have sent prayers to them both for I refuse to choose sides, but I was antagonized for doing so which was utterly ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, Chris and Rihanna will read this site looking for words of encouragement during their time of need. May God continue to bless Chris and Rihanna.
Thank you for writing this wonderful letter. When I read this letter, my heart was touch. I totally agree with everything in this letter. The media needs to stop spreading lies because they do not know what happen. In addition, people need to stop casting stone, bashing, pointing fingers, and making judgement on them and belieivng in lies. In this world,everybody makes a mistake. People grow from learning from their mistakes. Instead of blaming one or the other , people need to support them. Every Chris Brown and Rihanna fan, needs to come togehter as one and support them both. If they forgave each other, then the fans can forgive them. Everyone has to remember that God has forgiven every person numerous of times and gave every person not only one or two but numerous of chances. I am praying for both of you, Chris and Robyn. Personally, I know how it feels when people who wants to beleive in lies, run their mouth, make judgements, cast stone, and bash you even though they do not know the truth. Words hurt people. There are numerous nights that you feel like crying and giving up but with God as your leader than you can overcome each trial. Let people run their mouth because the main people who running their mouth and making judgements are not right themselves. Chris and Robyn hold on to God's unchanging hand because with Him as your leader and head of your life, both of you will overcome this situation. Keep on leaning on Him, your family, and your fans!. In addition, Mrs. Joyce keep on holding on to God's unchanging hand. I know it is hard to see what your son have to go through. The dark cloud is about to go pass and the sun will shine. Everything will be alright.
ReplyDeleteAgain, have faith in God and let the media, haters, and people who wants to beleive in the media and bash, cast stones, and make judgement run their mouth because sooner or later they will be coming back to both of you.
Both of you, Chris and Robyn, with your family, is in my prayer every day. Live and enjoy life!
