Donald Trump

Donald Trump gives Rihanna some tough love when he talked to Inside Edition this week. "She better get the hell out... If she goes back, she's a loser and she doesn't deserve to have any future success," he said.

Oprah Winfrey

During a March 6 telecast of her talk show, Oprah Winfrey strongly cautioned Rihanna from hastily reconciling with Chris Brown. "I've been saying this to women for years: love doesn't hurt. And if a man hits you once, he will hit you again. He will hit you again. I don't care what his plea is, he will hit you again."

Usher

After seeing photographs of Chris Brown playing around on jet skis in Miami, Usher had this to say: "I'm a little disappointed in this photo. After the other photo [of Rihanna's bruised face posted by TMZ]? C'mon, Chris. Have a little bit of remorse, man. The man's on jet skis? Like, just relaxing in Miami?"

Patti Austin

"None of us will ever really know what happened, and I doubt either of them really knows what happened, because when you're in a painting you can't see it. Well, we got a chance to see the painting," -- Patti Austin on the police photo of Rihanna being released.

Bow Wow

"Just shocking. I mean we heard what happened but we really didn't get a visual for it. But I mean hey, man. The picture speaks for itself," rapper Bow Wow says of the photos released on the Internet of Rihanna after she was allegedly attacked by Chris Brown.

Kenan Thompson

Kenan Thompson says Chris Brown is definitely welcome back to 'Saturday Night Live' -- despite his recent troubles. "It's not up to me, but I'm sure we would [have him on 'SNL'] if he had another hit single. We don't care about scandal. We just care about what brings us ratings!"

Roseanne Barr

Roseanne Barr says that Chris Brown "uses language of the perpetrator just like every sleazy bastard who ever smacked his wife, kid mother or girlfriend around uses" in his first and only public statement. She also says his "lies and excuses make me want to beat the crap out of him."

Christian Siriano

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano turned heads when he told TMZ the following: "You know what? I've met Rihanna, she's kind of a diva. I don't think anybody deserves that, but I feel bad for them ... there has to be something that she did to provoke it ... You can't hit a woman."

Terrence Howard

Terrence Howard says he was "in no way aware of what he [Chris Brown] had been accused of" when he called him a "great guy." The actor says he "would have never had said something so insensitive" if he knew the full story.

T.I.

Rapper T.I., who has the hit single Live Your Life with Rihanna, also backtracked on comments he made supporting Brown. He says he "made a mistake of commenting before understanding the situation."

Kanye West

Rapper Kanye West commented on Rihanna's alleged assault, "All I want to say is, it's so devastating. Just as a person, I don't care how famous she is or even if she just worked at McDonald's .. [abuse] should never happen. It should never come to that place."

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian wrote in her blog, "I am in shock Rihanna and Chris canceled on this year's Grammy show! I was SO looking forward to seeing both of them. They were essentially going to be the prom queen and king this year!"

i sure as hell didn't see the funny side of kenan's remark. yeah, you only care about ratings more than anything else, don't you?

but trump and roseanne barr's comments really hit the spot. and i agree with them 110%.

ghostgyrrl · 03-10-2009, 06:30 PM

Ya Kenan's remarks were classless. Its sad that everyone seems to be trying to save this girl, but herself.

waichingliu81 · 03-11-2009, 06:20 PM

i wish someone would go up to rihanna and knock some sense into this girl. i am still in disbelief that she didn't kick chris to the curb where he belongs, after what he had done to her. but yeah, it seems as though that for all the warning signs and advice given by the likes of roseanne and trump, rihanna cannot see the damage this would do to herself and her career. i realise it's hard for people who have been abused to leave their partners, boyfriends, girlfriends but with the likes of rihanna they need help, and they need to move away and fast. such as shame however that she fails to recognise this.

Donald Trump makes me sick. How are you trying to support an abuse victim by calling her a LOSER? That makes absolutely no sense at all, and it's a total contradiction.
