I've been amazed by the reaction to Rihanna's plight -- especially by blacks stars who at first came out and denounced Chris Brown's behavior and later backtracked. Oprah makes a strong statement, and the entertainment media suggests she was too strident.
Ashanti-- who has been an advocate for victims of domestic violence in the past -- has said what so many others have also expressed in similar wishy-washy statements, "A lot of people are speculating. Only those two know exactly what happened. I think that we shouldn't judge. You know, it's obviously very unfortunate."
Hello! Did you see the photo?! Everyone knows exactly what happened. That oaf beat that poor young woman to a pulp and admitted to threatening her life. I don't care if it comes out that Brown himself was beaten every day of his life -- it doesn't mean that we can't judge this incident. Unfortunate? Try brutal, inexcusable and criminal.
Why is this happening? Do other celebrities fear impending litigation for defamation? Has their management told them that "judgmental" doesn't track well with the fans? Why are stars so afraid to call it like we've all seen and heard it?
And it has translated to some fans excusing the behavior and even suggesting that Rihanna is somehow partially responsible for being treated like a punching bag.
But at least one celebrity has been willing to step forward

Is it wrong to spank her?
as chris rock says, “there are a lot of reasons to smack a woman. just don’t do it! there are reasons to push an old lady down the stairs. just don’t do it!”
We are missing something here.
He beat her up while driving a lambo with his left hand. He gave her a beating while using a stick shift with the right hand. That is what I call some skillz and real talent.
also, playa can’t have his beotch looking through his cellphone.
I beat my wife up 6 mornings out of 7. (/rimshot) But I have NEVER struck her, and would gladly remove the hand of anyone who did.
Men who beat women should be treated in kind - by several friends of the victim.
If that makes me a neanderthal chauvinist, I will be proud to add that moniker to my collection.
Brown converts to Islam and all is forgotten.
Black males between the ages of 16 - 34 are killing each other, I’d say the black entertainment community thinks Brown letting her LIVE is a ‘big improvement over the norm’.
It doesn’t take a man to hit a woman.
It takes a Democrat to rationalize it, however....
I’m all for not beating women.
It does not stop a great too many of them from freely crying wolf, calling on boyfriends to beat their husbands and get them raped by gays and abuse children or what not, courtesy of communist dethroning intents.
They're hoping to find a way to tax it.
He got to keep his pimp hand strong.
You are right. The foremost reason for beating Rihanna is the “music” she performs. Just don’t do it! Cut out your ears instead.
She should be temporarily committed for mental evaluation while “the man she loves” is instructed in the boundaries of proper civil behavior. Someday, she will kill herself over him, or he will do it for her.
Just my $.02, of course.
Saw this on a Church sign the other day....
“He who angers you controls you”
If you can’t walk away when you have to, you either shouldn’t be there or you should get counseling on
how to walk away.
If it’s wrong to spank Rihanna, I don’t want to be right.
Oink.
Serious topic — seriously offensive post.
You haven't heard? Spanking 'brings couples together'
