Rihanna: I can change Chris Brown

The singer risks career fallout for disgraced boyfriend...

Rihanna desperately wants to believe that Chris can conquer his demons

Rihanna is said to be 'taking a break' from Chris Brown but she's determined to help him become a ‘better person’.

Chris, 19, has been charged with punching her in the face and biting her ear and finger. Her mum Monica and friends are begging her to dump him for good, but Rihanna, 21, won't listen.

‘Rihanna’s priority is to rehabilitate Chris’s terrible public image and she’ll stop at nothing,’ an insider tells Now. ‘She’s convinced that he’s now learnt his lesson and with her support and commitment will become a changed man.

‘She went with him to see a trusted pastor recommended by his mum Joyce. At some point over the next two weeks she’ll also be going with Chris to see a therapist who specialises in anger management and couples therapy.

‘Rihanna’s also told Chris that if he agrees to do a TV interview with someone like the respected US journalist Barbara Walters then she’ll definitely play the supportive girlfriend, sitting by his side and showing the world that she forgives him. This will kill her mum,’ adds our source.

In the meantime, Chris, who has a tattoo of Jesus on his arm, is happy just speaking to the pastor. Sources say that he’s made Chris feel he isn’t a bad person, but just someone who’s lost his way.

‘Chris is surrounding himself with people who are reinforcing what a good person he is and telling him what he wants to hear,’ reveals our source. ‘There’s no one in his camp telling him any home truths. Everyone in his circle knows that it’s in his best interests career-wise to stay with Rihanna.

‘The pastor told them about the power of forgiveness and Rihanna has really latched on to that. Monica is also God-fearing, but she just can’t bring herself to forgive Chris.’

Rihanna has reportedly gone a step further by recording a duet with Chris. A studio source said that the late-night recording sessions were ‘very, very emotional’.
