This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Between allegedly inviting him to her birthday party, and probably collaborating with him on a “Birthday Cake” remix, and irrefutably thanking him for wishing her a happy birthday, I think it may be high time Rihanna re-read the police report from the night Chris Brown beat her half to death.
Particularly this part:
[cut for trigger]
You nearly died that night, Rihanna. You nearly died that night.
“I’m going to beat the sh*t out of you when we get home,” he promised. You attempted to call for help and that just made him angrier. “Now I’m really going to kill you,” he vowed.
Any of this ringing a bell? Because I’ll never forget that night. I’ll never forget the horrific photos. I’ll never forget reading the terrifying police report.
And I’ll never forgive you for forgiving him.

BULLSHIT. What the fuck is this? Aren’t we all supposed to support victims? Oh. Okay. Let’s just marginalize the abused party even further by shaming her for moving on with her life as she sees fit. Because she’s not reacting the way we want her to react, she’s the bad person here? I’m sure Rihanna is so fucking sorry that her getting beat to a fucking bloody pulp makes you upset. I’m sure she’s really upset that the violence inflicted on her has affected you so, and that she’s not handling your emotions more delicately.
You’ve got every right to hate on Chris Brown, but saying you will “never forgive” Rihanna for dealing with the aftermath of all this the way she—the victim (i.e.: not you)—feels she needs to is just as manipulative and passive aggressive as any form of emotional abuse that Chris Brown can inflict. You don’t need to be happy that Rihanna seems to be inviting her abuser back into her life, but you do need to support her.
this is a really sneaky means of victim-blaming: it takes the attention away from those that deserve the scrutiny.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzpp86X1Ai1qzpwi0o1_1280.jpg)
