Rihanna-Chris Brown Case

Very recently there was an extremely famous case of domestic violence, this involved the pop sensation Rihanna and R'n'B superstar Chris brown, he was said to have beaten Rihanna after she asked him about text that she had found on his mobile-telephone. The pictures shocked the British public and Chris Brown lost many of his fan-base. More recently Chris Brown pleaded guilty to the charge with great bodily injury and was sentenced to community service with five years probation. Thanks to TMZ for letting us use the image.
