Chris Brown arrested for assaulting Rihanna?

R&B singer Chris Brown was arrested early Feb. 9 by the Los Angeles Police Department accused of assaulting a woman.

He was released on $50,000 bail.

Police released a statement that said at about midnight Sunday (Feb. 8), Chris Brown along with a female companion were arguing in a vehicle.  The two exited the vehicle and continue to argue.

Someone called 911, and when police arrived, the woman told them Chris Brown attacked her. The officer said the woman had visible injuries.

They won’t officially release the name of the female companion because they wanted to protect her identity. However, several news organizations are reporting that the victim was his girlfriend singer Rihanna.

The couple was set to perform at the Grammy awards Sunday night, but they both canceled.

Rihanna’s publicist told E News that Rihanna was involved in a traffic mishap but she is fine.

We’ll have to wait until the investigation unfolds before we find out the details.

Brown and Rihanna are considered a power couple in the music industry.  Both of them had a string of hits during the past two years and filled arenas during their concerts.

If these allegations are true, Chris Brown will no longer have a thriving career — and he doesn’t deserve to.
