Ok. Hold on. Rihanna gets honored as Women of the Year along side Michelle Obama? I can't wrap my head around that just yet. I feel like pulling a Kanye and saying "Hold up Rihanna, i'ma let you finish but Tina Turner had one of the best domestic violence stances of all time."
If you've had the chance to read my blog "Punches and Publicity" you may understand better just why I'm a little speechless on this. Ladies please comment and tell me how you feel about this. I can't deny that Rihanna was brave for staying away from Chris Brown and speaking out about the "incident" but I have been around domestic violence situations and this isn't like the rest.
Rihanna had the pressure of the media to keep her away from Chris Brown. Remember, she went back--as is normal in situations like that--and I believe that if she wasn't under the spotlight she would still be with him. She's right that the feelings just don't go away and it's clear to everyone she still loves him. I guess I'm just a little taken aback that she would be honored for a decision that may have been forced upon her. In conclusion--just between us girls--does it matter what her true reasons for leaving Chris are? If one young girl decides to leave an abusive relationship because of Rihanna does that warrant an award? I don't know if I can agree. The Woman of the Year award is for HER stance on domestic abuse. I sincerely don't believe she would have chosen to be away from Chris if her career didn't depend on it and if there wasn't so much media pressure.
Stay beautiful inside and out!
