Hardears yuh won't hear...

 Rihanna's dad Ronald Fenty was in the  media again yesterday bemoaning his daughter's actions. According to stories in the Barbados Nation and further afield in US Magazine, neither he nor her mother or brother have been able to get through to her since she reconciled with Chris Brown.

In the US Magazine interview, he said that he has been calling and texting her to no avail.

I don't know what to say, honest to god. I've been hearing so many stories. I don't feel any pain anymore. I've gone numb. I've heard so much. But I can't get on to her. Her mother can't get on to her, her brother told me she changed her email. Somebody has a stranglehold on her. I'm lost.

I'll text the old numbers she had, and I call them. One girl answered, and she said, "This is not Robyn's number anymore." I asked, "Do you work for Robyn? Do you deal with Robyn?" And the girl hung up, so I don't know what's going on anymore. I'm lost.

Speaking to the Nation, he complained:

"Everything I have heard has been on the Internet. The one time I saw her, all she had time to tell me is 'Dad I am okay'. Her managers and bodyguards treat us like nobody. They wouldn't even let me get close to my daughter, so right now I have no idea what is really going on in her life."

 His distress and anger at the situation is palpable with the Nation reporting:

I am numb. I am in disbelief, in shock, call it what you want, but I don't even know if it's true. All I know is that I don't believe it," he told the SUNDAY SUN yesterday.

"For any man to stand and watch his daughter reunite with an [alleged] abuser is a father's worst nightmare," an obviously upset Fenty added.

Chaa ... I really feel for the whole family. Her father is the only one speaking out but if what he is saying is true, imagine how much worse this must be for her mother and brothers who are even closer to her than her father. Surely Monica Fenty must be shedding tears every night. It is one thing to know your daughter is being abused and she has gone back to her abuser. It is entirely another thing when she is millions of miles away from you, you are being cut off from reaching her and everything you can find out is through the internet or television.

Ri-ri, what you doing to your family at all though? Have mercy - if not for yourself, at least for your parents and younger brothers.



Moreover, remember what the old people say ' hard ears yuh won't hear... own way yuh gine feel'. How much more you really want to feel?

Especially when this boy is rumoured to be the one that called the press on you all to alert them to your reconciliation? You don't see he is willing to drag you down with him? That is love?

Chrihanna bust up - the drama continues

Conflicting reports have been coming out in the last day or so on the Rihanna/Chris Brown bust up. Rihanna's grandmother Clara Brathwaite, in an interview with Barbados' Nation newspaper, would only say:

"I don't want people to worry. Rihanna is fine and she is doing well."

Another, unidentified friend told the paper that Ri-ri wants Barbados to know she's ok.

However, the reports coming out of popular gossip site TMZ are saying she's anything but okay, with a 'police source' reporting that police on the scene took pictures (let's hope for evidence since none have popped up on gossip sites yet) showing:

Major contusions on both sides of the singer's face -- there is serious swelling and bruising. Her lip is split and her nose bloody. We have now confirmed there are bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers.

And we now know this... Rihanna claims Brown struck her with his fists and that's what did the damage. There was no object used in the alleged attack.

Rihanna refused treatment at the scene, but before she left cops took photos. We're told the photos alone are "devastating proof of abuse."

Poor kid. Reports/rumours out of Barbados today are that her family is distraught and her parents are trying to arrange for her to come home to recover. If someone beat up my only girl child I would be making arrangements for a lot more... like a paro to lick down the person responsible... 

Anyhow, Brown is already feeling the fallout - Wrigley's has suspended the advertisements where he was featured singing about their Doublemint gum and released a statement saying:

Wrigley is concerned by the serious allegations made against Chris Brown. We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen. However, we have made the decision to suspend the current advertising featuring Brown and any related marketing communications until the matter is resolved."

The 'Got Milk' folk aren't too happy either with their good boy gone (allegedly) bad. They have pulled his ad from their bodybymilk website and also released a stern statement, saying:

The Milk Mustache campaign is taking the allegations against Chris Brown very seriously. We are very proud and protective of the image of the Milk Mustache campaign and the responsible message it sends to teens. Mr. Brown's ad was launched last fall and is scheduled to end this week.

And it keeps getting worse for Brown. People.com has reported Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton as saying he expected the case would be handed over to the district attorney’s office tomorrow and that prosecutors could charge Brown, 19, with more crimes.
