Even if she needn’t be a role model, she has to stand up for herself and for the rest of the abused women everywhere. She didn’t do it; instead she went BACK to him! It sends a bad message to all the battered women in the world. It just shows that women need to go back to their abusers and get beaten for the second time around. Besides, Rihanna’s music is aimed at young people and they look up to her. Of course they expect her to be a role model.

I think a lot of those girls buy her records and therefore put her where she is today, she owes them the courtesy of leading by example at least.

Rhinanna knows that it was her actions that brought the beating upon her. She knows her place and should be commended for learning. A shame most other women do not learn that valuable lesson. A shame also that an unmarried slag such as Oprah is their role model instead of others. It’s time women opened their eyes and understood reality and their place in it.

hunny, no one cares about the ‘role model’ junk!!! He beat her and she is being stupid and desperate and taking him back!!! Ok???

Well, Rihanna is kind of automatically a role model for young girls because she is in the music business, and quite popular.

I honestly, don’t think anyone REALLY knows everything that happened, or why. In my opinion, it is dumb to take a man back after he beats you. But on the other hand, she is obviously in love.

Rihanna has the right to decide what is right or wrong for herself, because it is HER life. Maybe it is dumb, maybe it is a bad example for young people, but the best thing to do is let her realize it on her own.

I think most people thought that she was smart enough to leave this guy and never go back. People are disappointed that she went back to him. I saw bits of Oprah’s show last night. Good for her for bringing this subject out in the open and telling women of all ages that they should NEVER have to put up with this kind of abuse. Or any other kinds of abuse for that matter.

It’s funny the way people are answering this as if getting out of an abusive relationship is just so simple. I have never been in an abusive relationship before, but i think i can sympathize with the women who are in them, including Rihanna. I’m not quite sure how long they’ve been together, but it’s obvious she was in love with him, and like you said, there are more emotional and psychological things that make it extremely hard to just walk away. I don’t know how people just don’t get that, but let me ask them this: if it really was that easy, why would there still be thousands and millions of women still in abusive relationships?

Yes, she is a role model for youg girls, but this is solely her life. this is something that is so serious you can’t expect her to be keeping her composure and putting her fans first; this is a deep psychological issue she will have to deal with. In the end, everyone will agree that abuse is wrong. but honestly at this point the young fans of Rihanna will have to understand that it just isn’t that easy. the only person getting truly hurt here is Rihanna, and for that reason it should be accepted that she is allowed to make her own decisions. Honestly, it can’t be required of her to make such huge decisions while trying to make everyone happy; she is a human being and that comes first.

Although I do not agree with Rihanna’s decision to stay in this relationship, I don’t blame her for it or for upsetting so many people. she will need to figure this thing out herself, and everyone should be giving her blessings and support through all of this.
