Chris Brown & Rihanna: Love Gone Wrong
March 2nd, 2009
I know that sometimes it’s really easy to make fun of celebrities and enjoy exploiting their pretty lives for our own entertainment but now is a better time than ever to realized that they are in fact people like us and more importantly, we have the same problems.
I am most happy to be a part of our MuchNews special Chris Brown and Rihanna: Love Gone Wrong because I think any excuse to have an open, honest, heartfelt dialogue about issues that are important to young people on television is not an opportunity that should be overlooked.
We included experts and panelists from young actresses to representatives from the YWCA, Kids Help Phone, The White Ribbon Campaign as well as victims of abuse and young viewers.
I’d like to think that if anything positive can come from the terrible situation Chris Brown and Rihanna are coping with, it’s that young people re-examine their own relationships and their ideas surrounding what abuse really is. None deserves to be abused and it’s my hope that this special opens discussions amongst our audience that will prevent unnecessary pain.
If you missed it live please watch it again online!

As a victim of previous abuse my heart goes out to Rihanna. I am absolutely appalled by the media. The last thing that she needs is people constantly talking about what happened to her. The world should smarten the f*** up and let Rihanna deal with this in her own way.

It makes me sick that every time we hear about Chris Brown and Rihanna,everyone makes out Chris to be this demon and Rihanna to be an Angel.For me there is always two sides to a coin and therefore I think the blame falls on them both.But watching the muchmusic episode that just aired on March 2nd 2009,really made me mad because everyone is over looking the fact that she started it due to jealousy and insecurity on her behalf.I don’t condone him hitting her but when your patience has reached its limits it is hard to control ones self.No one knows who threw the first punch but everyone assumes it was him I bet if Rihanna had beaten him up it would have been a joke to everyone.So why is it that the picture of her with the alledged bruises is shown every where who knows she could’ve assaulted him first and he retaliated,but what everyone fails to realise thats just her without make up. And now the media is blowing it out of proportion by trying to ban his music and now he is loosing endorsements because of the way in which the media has tried to change his image from a young black good entertainer in the bloom of his career into a womanizer who beats women for no reason.Its my conclusion that they both need help because they both have anger issues that need addressing,do unto others as you would like them to do unto you,so Rihanna next time don’t set yourself up for an ass whooping cause u will get it.Chris keep your head up.

You are absolutely right Sarah, domestic abuse should never take place under any situation and the celebs that we look at are no different than use on the larger scale.
It is nice to see that much music actually touched on this subject, yet at the same time it is sad. Sad for the fact that the station that you work for only dedicated half an hour of its time that it usually spends playing garbage and a little bit of music to talk about this. -(Sorry to say it but its true, Where’s the music at? I remember a time when much talks specials were an hour long and far mor in depth)- But as i was saying only took half an hour to talk about such an important issue that affects many people around the world every day, and forgive me if i’m mistaken but managed to put a good amount of the focus on the celeb that it happened to rather than the issue in general. Not saying that “your” heart wasn’t in the right place and that we shouldn’t be concerned for rihanna but i have to wonder about this.
The girl has been through enough as it is, so to the producers at Much if you guys have to talk about it, at the very least keep her name and her good for nothing man’s names out of the title, and just focus on the true core issue. -

i think it is her own falt for going out younger then her…she should have went out with somebody her own age and somebody with experience in realtionships, and i am sick of hearing her on the news and ET.. i think its all BS! and why would she take him back, she just wants more attention, i dont support her and any way or feel bad for her , and that pic of her on ET where her face is all messed up, that doesnt even look like her!!! it just makes me mad when they talk about her on the news, and yet again she wants him back…
how dumb can she be
its her own falt if he does it again,then hopefully she will learn her leason..

Clearly, MuchMusic, you enjoy exploiting their situation. If you want to use what happened between Chris and Rihanna as a platform to talk about domestic abuse, that is totally appropriate. But naming the special after them and making the couple the predominant feature of this special is pure exploitation. How do you think Rihanna feels? You are using her situation to get ratings. Sure, you’re getting the message out about domestic abuse and I certainly commend you for that. But its clear that you are just as much in this for the $$ and you are for speaking about domestic abuse. If you want to talk about domestic abuse, then name the show something else. Stop exploiting Rihanna. Get off your high horses, Much Music, because you are just as bad as everyone else.
