I’m disappointed to learn that last Monday night Rihanna and Chris Brown dropped a public duet remix of “Birthday Cake” even after he BEAT her silly in 2009.
I mean, come on, you could have picked anyone else in the world to do this with, and you picked Chris Brown. He doesn’t even have THAT much talent… it would have been soooo easy to go with someone else.
Rihanna, Puh-Leez!! It’s pretty obvious that your show was a GIANT MONEY MAKING SCAM.
I think it’s great that Rihanna has been able to move on from that dark point in her life. I even think it’s great that her and Chris are friends again, but I think she overstepped the line. It’s almost like she’s PUSHING it in our faces.
I’m not surprised through; Rihanna has a history of a rebellious nature.
Rihanna, I just think you need to look at the facts here: You are a major figure in the public eye. And your main audience? Young teenage girls. Being a public relations specialist I believe that Rihanna should be aware at all times of the messages she sends out not only from her words, but more importantly her actions.
Many young girls are still learning by example and may not be mature enough to have a fully established set of personal morals… I just hope you know how hugely influential you are in many young people’s lives.
Ladies, in case you’re wondering.. normal guys don’t do this. EVER.
Someone needs to teach Rihanna about the social learning theory… fast!

I know so many people are disgusted by rihanna’s behaviour in this decision. In my PR opinion, just as your own, I completely agree that her public behaviour is reflecting upon her image as well as the audience she is attracting and affecting with her actions. She is not sending out a great message… at all. Clearly. In her private life, her relationship with Chris is her choice; love is definitely a messy emotion. But in the public eye, to do something so blatant, and on her own special day like her birthday, just as you said is “pushing it in our faces”.
I see it differently, I see the move as PR related, no press is bad press, getting names out there. I feel like she’s stupid to even talk to a man that did what he did to her and she had the power to ruin his career but didn’t, that is the favour she did him, and she doesn’t owe him any other.
I appreciate your angle megzt. You’re right.. she’s definitely getting attention by doing this! I’m just not sure if I believe in it.
