Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
The pair have reunited almost three weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered the "Umbrella" singer on Feb. 8, a source tells PEOPLE.
"They're together again. They care for each other," says the source. The on-again couple are currently spending time together at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs's homes, on Miami Beach's Star Island.
Taking a break from my usual fanwanking I'm going to say the only thing I've said about this case of a guy beating up a girl.
After weeks went by with no word from Rihanna regarding Chris Brown I was pretty sure she'd go back to him. I'd hope not but experience told me differently.
I let a guy beat me repeatedly over a 3 ½ year period.
I even married him. Once a man beats a woman he does not stop. He takes breaks. HE DOES NOT STOP.
Rihanna is one year younger than I was when I got into an extremely abusive situation and as "horrific" as her police domestic violence shot is, I had the same type of injuries many times over. The thug that does this to his woman does not stop a beating until he has thoroughly messed her up. Her exterior is a mirror of his interior.
Trust me on this one.
Rihanna is NOT stupid. She is allowing herself to be victimized. My guess is at some time in her youth she was victimized in some fashion. Am I saying someone beat her? That is possible but just as possible is sexual abuse, neglect, verbal abuse or some awful combination. She'll stay with Chris Brown until something drastic changes. And when and if she chooses to leave him she'd best have a bodyguard with her when she does.
This upsets me not so much for Rihanna as for kids for whom both she and Brown are role models.
