Today, the long running television drama "Law And Order" aired a thinly veiled episode about the Chris Brown and Rihanna
domestic violence case from 2009. The episode is entitled "My
Funny Valentine." The show is known for lazily taking people's
real lives and turning them into story lines, which has resulted in
lawsuits.
The character "
Caleb
Bryant" is
Chris
Brown
(both have the initials C.B.). The character "Misha" is
Rihanna. However, couldn't they have chosen a name for the character
such as Rita or Hannah, which sounds more like Rihanna, rather than a
name, Misha, that is one letter different from mine, Aisha, even sounds
like it (names rhyme) especially
given
Chris Brown's stalker conduct regarding me.
Actress made up to look like Rihanna after Chris
Brown beating
Caleb (Chris Brown) is caught cheating with a blonde haired black
woman, upsetting his girlfriend Misha (Rihanna). When Caleb (Chris) is confronted by
Misha (Rihanna) a fight ensues in a recording studio and he beats her to a pulp (beating and
choking). The police on the show state an abuser who strangles is more
likely to kill the person at a later date if they remain together (hint
hint).
Misha's (Rihanna) producer/rapper, Brass, who has a wife and child
(coincidentally named Chris), is clearly Jay-Z, who is made to look like a
father figure (however, in real life, the Jay-Z has been seen going into
and out of hotels with Rihanna, giving many outlets the impression
the two have a sexual relationship).
Rihanna's actual assault photo from the LAPD
A lawyer similar to Brown's
real attorney, Mark Geragos, is seen pulling the race card
against the
police when "Caleb" is arrested. "Law And Order"
even takes jabs at the couple in the show stating the
characters, "Should go on a double date with Chris Brown and Rihanna."
There are other similarities between the show and Rihanna and
Brown's real lives. Caleb (Chris) is sentenced to 5-years probation.
Misha (Rihanna) has an endorsement deal with a cosmetic company (Cover
Girl).
Misha (Rihanna) does a duet with Caleb (Chris), which the couple has
done in real life. A leaked police picture of
Misha (Rihanna) battered face appears in the press (which actually
happened thanks to TMZ bribing an LAPD officer).
Misha (Rihanna) and Caleb (Chris) go to Bermuda in the Caribbean (Rihanna
is from Barbados in the Caribbean and went there several times with
Brown).

Caleb (Chris) makes an appearance on TV wearing a sweater and bow
tie to apologize for his conduct (Brown actually did that on CNN). Caleb (Chris)
violates the restraining order and goes to
Misha's (Rihanna) hotel, then leaks photos of it online (actually
happened between Rihanna and Brown as well). Misha's (Rihanna) family
painted as enablers who "only call when they need something...she
pays for all their bills" which is true in real life regarding
Rihanna.
Misha's (Rihanna) mother's boyfriend is an abuser as well, much like
Rihanna's actual father.
Caleb (Chris) gets a tattoo of
Misha's (Rihanna) battered face, which is something Brown did in real
life. Caleb (Chris) is caught with marijuana, a probation violation.
Brown was caught with marijuana in his system.
Chris Brown and Mark Geragos in Court
Towards the end of the show, a fight breaks out in a night club in
New York (which actually happened regarding Chris Brown and Rihanna at
the now closed club W.i.P.). Glass is strewn all over the club (much
like the W.i.P. fight). However, Brass, the character representing
Jay-Z, is confronted by Caleb (Chris), called an "old man"
and threatened. Caleb (Chris) opens fire, killing Brass (Jay-Z).
At the very end of the episode, they go to Bermuda (Barbados) and
spend time on a boat, Caleb (Chris) still cheating on
Misha (Rihanna) gets a text from another woman again (which is what
allegedly started the first fight).
Misha (Rihanna) inquires about the text and Caleb (Chris) loses his
cool, killing her and dumping her body overboard.
Rihanna and Chris Brown this month
Talk show host Wendy Williams and blogger Perez Hilton make an
appearance on the show as themselves. The two have frequently talked
about the case in the press. "Law and Order" made Brown look
like an arrogant monster and Rihanna a foolish pushover being used by
him. They both need to pay attention as the show represents their
public image. It is a close depiction of how many people see them and
it is not a flattering one.
