Rihanna back under Chris Brown's control

Her mum and brothers are worried

Rihanna wants to believe Chris Brown will never lose his temper again

A lovesick Rihanna, 21, has run back into the arms of her lover Chris Brown,despite telling LA police that he attacked her on 8 February.

The singer was reunited with Chris at P Diddy’s Star Island mansion in Miami and accompanied him on a private jet to LA a few days later.  

Her mum Monica Fenty is distraught and Now can reveal that Rihanna’s friends and family, including her younger brothers Rorrey and Rajad, are convinced she’s under Chris’s control.

‘She isn’t listening to anyone,’ says an insider. ‘They feel it’s only a matter of time before she’s seriously hurt again. Rihanna says she won’t testify against Chris, 19, and Monica is very disappointed by her “damn foolishness”.’

Chris has now been charged with felony assault and making criminal threats, but didn’t enter a plea. The case was adjourned until 6 April.

In the meantime, sources have obtained a copy of the police notes, which give a chilling account of what allegedly happened.

It reads: ‘Chris Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn Fenty [Rihanna’s real name] as the front passenger on an unknown street in LA. Robyn picked up his phone and saw a text from a woman he’d had a previous relationship with.

‘She turned to face him and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face.

The assault caused her mouth to fill with blood and it splattered over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle. Brown stated: “I am going to beat the shit out of you when we get home! You wait and see!”

‘Robyn called her PA Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer. Robyn pretended to talk to her and stated: “I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there.”

‘Brown said: “You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I really am going to kill you.” He held her close to him and bit her left ear, then applied pressure to her left and right carotid arteries [in the neck], causing her to begin to lose consciousness.’

Despite the shocking allegations, our source says: ‘Rihanna insists that she and Chris are passionate people who’ll get counselling. But her family are worried that he’s manipulating her and trying to win her back to save his career.

‘She’d promised not to give him her new phone number, but she did. She’s in love and hears what she wants to hear.’
