Chris Brown has copped a plea deal in his felony assault case: He’ll be on probation for five years and do 180 days of labor in Virginia, where he lives. He also must enroll in domestic violence counseling.
Chris attended the hearing today in Los Angeles with his mother and other family members. Ex-girlfriend and alleged victim Rihanna also attended, dressed in dark clothing and large dark sunglasses. But the former lovers never came face-to-face as Rihanna was held in a private room until a judge called her into the court to explain that her testimony would not be needed.
Since a plea bargain was reached, Chris will serve no jail time for allegedly beating Rihanna in February.

celebrities should not be immune to punishment for domestic abuse. it’s that plain and simple.
i can’t believe that these two who started out with a bright future now look like this: http://tinyurl.com/chrisbrownrihannapics. you forget that they’re popstars here.
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:21 pm
send him to jail!! he needs to learn a lesson that he should never lay a hand on a woman!
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:27 pm
Why Chris Brown?why did you hit her at first i use to like you but ever since u had hit rihanna
i been thinking lately and i said to myself i don’t like him anymore like i use to i am very disappointed in you and rihanna but especially you because don;t you know the law do not hit women and you know what in think of you uo discuss me and you are a women beater so i dom;t like you anymore goodbye chris beater……………………………………………………………………
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:50 pm
i don’t care what anybody says bout him i will stiil love him
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Okay, everybody makes mistakes. Thats how we learn from our mistakes. I’m not saying what was done was okay, but we really do not know what really happened. Just what we were told he say she say. If you put your hands on a man then look out. But a real man would of walked away regardless!!! But for me Im older so it will only take one time for a man to hit me. We are queens not bags to hit on because you dont like what as said.

June 22nd, 2009 at 11:50 pm
LOOK I AM FROM THE COUNTRY AND WE ARE TOLD HERE THAT IF YOU HIT A MAN EXPECT TO GET HIT BACK. IM NOT SAYING THAT IS RIGHT FOR A MAN TO PUT HIS HANDS ON A WOMAN BUT WOMEN NEED TO LEARN HOW TO KEEP THEIR HANDS TO THEMSELVES AS WELL. WE DONT LIKE TO BE HIT ON AND NEITHER DO MEN. SO IF YOU DONT WANT TO GET HIT DONT HIT NOBODY THEN YOU WONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. CHRIS KEEP YOUR HEAD UP BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO HOLD YOU DOWN IN VA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:50 pm
wow, thats sickening! he should be in jail!
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:54 am
I THINK THAT SHE PLAYED A BIG ROLL IN STARTING THE FIGHT…I AM A HUGH FAN OF RIHANNA AND CHRIS BUT I THINK THAT THEY ARE GIVING HIM HARD LABOR BECAUSE RIHANNA IS SOMEONE THAT LOTS OF PPL LOVE. WHY DIDN’T SHE GET ANY TIME? THAT IS VERY MESSED UP HOW THEY MESSED OVER CHRIS, HE CAN’T EVEN VOTE OR BUY A GUN…… IN SITUATIONS LIKE THAT,BY THEM BEING SO YOUNG, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED A LIL MORE BETTER…..BUT I LOVED THEM BOTH AS A COUPLE,,,,,,,,,,STILL LOVE U CHRIS……
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:31 am
GREAT JOB TO CHRIS’S LAWYER, IM GLAD THAT MY FAVORITE MALE SINGER DOES NOT HAVE TO GO TO JAIL! =)
June 23rd, 2009 at 8:13 am
We all need to sit back for a minute and remember that these twoo kids are young and that they are going to make a mistake. I am pretty sure they have both learn from these these to know what not to do in the future. We sit here and say this about them but we are not the ones to judge if Chris forgives hisself and who knows Rihanna may have forgave him if they can be the big person and not talk about each other we shouldnt sit up and talk about them. Let them live their lives because like I said they are young they have alot to look foward to. Its time for all this to blow over . Chris just stay away from Rihanna and Rihanna just stay away from Chris and go back to what you both are known for making good music. I LOVE both of you guys and I’m not the one to judge there is only one God for that so people look into your own lives before trying to examine someone elses.
June 23rd, 2009 at 8:38 am
team Rihanna. But Chris should have gone to jail and then probation. at least he has to go throw the domestic violece counseling. Rihanna you rock girl and don’t let any one treat or tell you other wise.
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:17 am
i like the picture but do they have him in jail happin to his girl frend and him
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:19 am
look at chisbrown lookin sexey
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:03 am
I am a female and in no way condone any type of violence toward women…but what I will say is this…if you were a fan of Chris Brown before this, you should continue to be a fan–You liked his music and his music hasn’t changed…you never knew him on a personal level so you don’t know if he’s been one way on screen and one way off…As an artist he’s a great talent as a man he’s not so great…but you people need to stop trying to make celebrities into infoulable people…they have flaws and moments of weakeness just like the rest of the world…the only difference is that they have no privacy…No one walking this Earth is perfect and no one should be judging anyone else…Mistakes are made, prices are paid and you move on…if he was a rapper you would expect him prob respect him for being in trouble with the law…
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:11 am
God Bless the Both of them in whatever they do. I pray this whole thing is put behind them and both stars can just be friends and move on from this. I still love Chris and support him 110%. I also still love Rihanna and support her 110%. God Bless u guys…..Just Keep praying and god will work out the rest. Xoxoxo.
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:50 am
All ya’ll who claim to like Chris Brown or use to are not true fans, because a real fan would still love/like him till this day. Chris knows what he did was wrong and he has suffered a lot and has gone though alot. Chris got wat he deserve, im not saying that 5 years of probation is cool maybe 3 years of probation and he should still take his classes. I dont agree with men hitting women at all but people do change and I think chris will change through out time, and I still do love you Chris and still am a true fan.
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:20 pm
HE NEEDS TO DO JAIL TIME,THAT WILL TEACH HIM A LESSON NOT TO LAY HIS HANDS ON A WOMAN.
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Okay so what he made a mistake, what is this boy suppose to do fall off the face of the earth curl up in a ball….i don’t think so. He made a mistake he got punished for it more ways than one and what will jail time do for him nothing, there are more people out here that needs jail time, plus we still don’t know the whole story you just heard omg he hit her maybe she hit his a$$ too, but people fail to even think about that. She even told her own brother she would crack his head open for something he said so you know she has her own violence, I’m not saying what he did was right but there are always 2 sides of a story and neither have said sh*t…….So let that boy get on with his life cause the only person who can judge him is the one and only and even he is forgiving…..So you all should too…..MOVE ON FOR REAL BECAUSE THIS IS GETTING SO OLD…..
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:49 pm
im so happi he didnt get anytime in jail…… there gota be two side of the story n there a reason y he hit her.. but im happi for him..
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:16 pm

June 23rd, 2009 at 7:20 pm
I can’t believe the number of young, stupid women on here commenting and asking what she may have sdone to prompt this. Short of a man defending himself from serious physical harm, like a knife attack or a two by four or a frying pan etc, a man SHOULD NEVER put his hands on a woman. In most cases men have an unfair physical advantage. That is as bad as a person considered physically normal beating on a person with physical challenges. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU YOUNG WOMEN? ARE YOU GUYS THAT HARD UP THAT YOU WOULD SUPPORT THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR? SHAME ON YOU.. Grow up. A real man walks away and contains his anger. A coward strikes out.
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Did I just read this?
“BUT SOM3 GiRLS NEED TAH CHiLL TH3Y ACT LiKE THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN HiT BY A MAN BEFORE!!!!!!!!UGH” Okay sweetheart. Here are some very important numbers for you..
U.S. National Domestic Violence Hotline
1-800-799-7233 (SAFE)
Again, Unless a man is defending himself from SERIOUS physical injury, he should never put his hands on a woman. NEVER. Be a real man and walk away.
I think you need this number Tanny.
June 23rd, 2009 at 8:00 pm
chris brown you is the dummest person i know but that okay i still love you.
June 23rd, 2009 at 8:39 pm
I love Chris Brown and I’m glad he didn’t go to jail I don’t think he should have to go
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:20 pm
To Tannie Woodson: Are u serious?I’m sorry that you’re a punching bag for men to beat up on,but there are a lot of women like myself who have NEVER been hit by a man.My boyfriend adores me and loves me.He would never consider hitting me.Do you know why?Because love doesn’t hurt.So,to all women out there who think it’s ok for a man to hit you please read 1 Corinthians 13.
June 23rd, 2009 at 10:23 pm
i think chris should of got jail time thats not right he got off that easy for doing what he did just because he’s a celeberity, and young doesn’t mean nothing he should of did time like any other criminal.
June 24th, 2009 at 1:21 am
This ^+((^#(^(_`&_+~~ is stupid maybe he needed 2 beat her @^*#&^*&!_++@$+
June 24th, 2009 at 4:14 am
That is sum bull, dudes in the real world have to kill just to get any jail time or court date. This is ridiculous Rhianna is no angel, she already looked crazy on that paranoid video. Yall are so unforgiving and cruel. All of you think u are perfect, BUT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU HAS DID SUMTHING U REGRET, the difference u didn’t get caught. Rhianna played a part, I know that young man didnt hit her for no reason. I have started sum situations with dudes that wasn’t good, so I know it is alot of other females that do. Cant drop the subject of the way they treat u bad, but u still stay with them. I have a little brother and if a female is hittin him like a dude, he has to get her off of him. Cuz I have seen sum girls beat up boys. The story just doesn’t add up how was she screaming for help, but she was passed out. And how was she trying to get away if she act like she threw his keys and phone, its always 2 sides to every story. AND YOU ARE NOT GOD, u shouldnt want to judge. There was only one perfect man ever, remember that
June 24th, 2009 at 4:19 am
And 2 all the women talking about your mans loves and adores u he is probably cheating or doing sumthin else u dnt want to admit. Yall can’t say that young man deserves time, yall are half way nobodies and the whole world will not know u, u will not go down in history so lay off of chris. it is none of your business and yall judgemental )$%!$$`^__+@#^& es was not there
June 24th, 2009 at 9:55 am
iam so happy that chris brown did not go to jail and i love him so much i hope he get to still make music and ant nothing wrong with rihanna she is ok and iam chris brown biggest fan .but i love chris and i always will so dont forget that .

June 24th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Rihanna is such a dumb #+(!@&%~#!+&__^~* She deserves to get her ~#~)+$`&&%~^!~* beat again.
Thats the problem with domestic violence victims… They want everyone to know they got beat but when its time to talk they run for cover.
I bet it will teach her not to grab a phone over a silly ~#~)+$`&&%~^!~* text message
June 24th, 2009 at 6:37 pm

June 24th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
he should go to prison like any criminal,only because he’s a celebrety?come on! he’s a women abuser,oh well!justice wasnot fair,sorry to all the people who think the opposite.
June 24th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Chris brown had no right to hit Rihanna.Even if she diserved it.No man should hit a lady in thier life.HAVE YOU EVER GOT BEAT DOWN BY A before?
June 24th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
GET OVER IT!! HE HIT HER!! BLAH BLAH BLAH. THIS HAS BEEN TURNED INTO SUCH A BIG DEAL! It happens every day people!! Just because he is who he is, this had to be turned into this rediculous situation! We all make mistakes! I’m glad he didnt go to jail!!!
June 25th, 2009 at 3:16 am
i used to like chris but i’m just hoping that now no one buys his stuff so we don’t have to see his face
June 25th, 2009 at 3:51 am
I do not believe this! He did it, we all know he did it, he’s a jackass and he needs to serve time in jail! Clearly, Rihanna is moving on to bigger and better things, but have fun watching your career go down the drain, Chris. I know I will.
June 25th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Chris Brown didn’t get any jail time, iam so happy,no matter what any one says i still love Chris Brown. i never liked Rihanna anyway.I LOVE U CHRIS
June 25th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
I personaly think that its sad that this had to happen to those two,and very shocking to hear about. Mostly I pray for them and wish for the best(especially when the both of them are two of one of my favorite singers).
June 25th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Boo hoo for Chris brown!.I hope that he knows that hes going to be a daddy!.And all the girls that LUVS him or eva to bad for thm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
