Oscar Pistorius Sentenced To 6-Years In Prison On The Shooting Death Of Girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp

Former Olympian, Oscar Pistorius, was today sentenced to 6-years in jail over the shooting death of girlfriend, law student and model, Reeva Steenkamp, whom the athlete shot and killed at his home in Pretoria, South Africa in 2013. In 2014 Pistorius was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 5-years in jail. However, he was placed on house arrest during the prosecution's appeal in the case.

Public outcry over the well publicized sentence led to the appeal and the high court subsequently overturning the original verdict by Judge Thokozile Masipa. In December 2015, the high court ruled Pistorius must be tried in court again again, but on the more severe charge of murder, as oppose to manslaughter.

 

Reeva Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorius

Pistorius was convicted again today, as a result of the high court remanding the case back to heavily criticized Judge Thokozile Masipa. There is public outcry again regarding the case, as under the law, the judge should have given Pistorius the 15-year statutory minimum for murder. However, she has given Pistorius less than half the mandatory. This has created anger on social networking and among women's rights groups. Comments are flooding website stating Masipa continues to show bias in her rulings regarding "fallen hero" Pistorius. Many are stating Pistorius was given a slap on the wrist and could be released from prison in 2-years, whereas other South Africans who committed lesser crimes, such as theft, were given 12-15 years in prison.

The African National Congress Women's League spokesperson, Jacqui Mofokeng, slammed the sentence, "The judgment is an insult to women. It's an insult we saw coming a mile off and an increasingly mundane insult to which we have all become accustomed. We owe Reeva Steenkamp and women everywhere our outrage today, however subdued and demoralized we might feel. Because we known, deep down, that six years for murder isn't just insulting. It's dangerous."

Oscar Pistorius sentencing: Live updates as six-year sentence is dubbed an 'insult to women' by equality campaigners

Updated 16:31, 6 Jul 2016 - Oscar Pistorius has been jailed for six years for the murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp this morning. The Olympic and Paralympic icon repeatedly shot the 29-year-old model after she barricaded herself in the bathroom of his home in Pretoria on February 2013. He appeared at North Gauteng High Court this morning after a three-and-a-half year legal battle.

During sentencing Judge Thokozile Masipa said there was no evidence that Ms Steenkamp and Pistorius had rowed on the night he gunned her down. “Counsel for the defence correctly submitted that there was an unfortunate perception in the minds of some people that on the night of the murder there was an argument between the accused and the deceased and that this is what led to the murder of the deceased,” she said.

“The existence of such a perception was inadvertently confirmed by the father of the deceased Barry Steenkamp‚ who‚ during the course of his evidence‚ let slip this very perception.” “The unfortunate part of it is that there is not a shred of evidence placed before this court that supports such a perception.”...

African National Congress spokesperson: Oscar Pistorius sentence 'insulting'

11:53 a.m. EDT July 6, 2016 - South African Judge Thokozile Masipa said “there is no indication at all” that former Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius and the girlfriend he murdered were in an abusive relationship. African National Congress Women’s League spokesperson Jacqui Mofokeng, however, called the Valentine’s Day 2013 murder of Reeva Steenkamp a clear case of gender violence shortly after Masipa found “substantial and compelling circumstances” to levy Pistorius with a six-year prison term, a fraction of the mandatory 15-year prison sentence.

“The judgment is an insult to women,” Mofokeng said in a statement. “It’s an insult we saw coming a mile off (and an) increasingly mundane insult to which we have all become accustomed. “We owe Reeva Steenkamp and women everywhere our outrage today, however subdued and demoralized we might feel. Because we know, deep down, that six years for murder isn’t just insulting. It’s dangerous.”...

MTV Star And Model Sam Sarpong Jumps Off Bridge Committing Suicide In California

Sam Sarpong at the height of his fame

40-year-old MTV "Yo Momma" cable television star, model and rapper, Sam Sarpong, leapt to his death from the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, California. Police tried to talk Sarpong down for 7-hours, but were unable to convince him to abandon his plan to commit suicide. 

Sam Sarpong in recent times

The Britain born star moved to California at age 11 and soon got into the entertainment industry, which has been the demise of many. Sarpong has over 60 film and television credits to his name. His most recent work is contributing the EP "Lose My Mind" to copyright infringing show "Hit The Floor."

Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, California

His death is tragic. He had a career with many credits and was working up until the time of his death. Sarpong was the first black male model to be featured in a Louis Vuitton editorial ad campaign. One has to wonder if he was struggling with illness (the texture and blotchiness of his skin indicates a health problem). Nothing is so bad in life that one should kill one's self. Suicide is never the answer.

Karrueche Tran

Karrueche Tran, the ex-girlfriend of singer Chris Brown, has revealed breaking up with the star for cheating on her and fathering a baby with another woman during their relationship, has cost her modeling jobs. Tran is not getting the amount of modeling jobs she used to and film offers are fewer as well.

 

Karrueche Tran

Many have based her popularity on Brown having made her famous as his girlfriend, which led to Tran amassing a large social networking following. Now that they have broken up, some industry professionals are of the view it has affected her popularity with the public and the job offers are drying up.

Chris Brown

Tran stated to Newsbeat in London, "A lot of people think I am a weak individual because of past situations and when it comes to business sometimes people don't want to be involved with somebody like that. Which is understandable, but it sucks, because I'm not a weak person. It's these people who sit behind their phones and just say mean things, just because."

Male supermodel Tyson Beckford has commented on his semi-resolved feud with R&B singer, Chris Brown, who threatened to break his legs and have his friends in the Bloods street gang shoot him, for taking a selfie with the crooner's ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran. Brown was dumped by Tran for cheating on her and impregnating a woman in their circle.  

Under a court order, Chris Brown, 26, was medically diagnosed as mentally ill, suffering from bipolar disorder and other psychiatric issues

In an interview with Go To Whitney, Beckford stated of Brown, "You know what I always say. At 38,000 feet, I can't hear what you're saying on the sidewalk. So for me it's done...and hopefully it's done for him too because he doesn't want that...when you're someone who's at my level and you realize someone else is not really all there, you just say, 'You know what, I'm gonna let you slide because I realize you're not all there."

Halle Berry Actually Paying Parent Support Not Child Support To The Bitter Father Of Her Child ($16,000 Per Month)

Gabriel Aubry and Halle Berry when they were a couple. The actress is now married to actor Olivier Martinez, whom Aubry physically attacked and was beaten up as a result.

Halle Berry, 48, has initiated legal proceedings against her ex-boyfriend, who is the father of her 7-year-old daughter Nahla Aubry, regarding child support payments. Currently, Berry pays 38-year-old Gabriel Aubry, $16,000 per month in child support, but most of the money is going towards his lavish upkeep. For example, abusive Aubry spends $1,000 on clothes and $2,000 on cars per month.

Berry seeks to have the payment reduced to $3,800 per month. The term is after all child support, not parent support. Aubry is an able bodied man, who can get a job (he used to be a sought after male model and he still has his looks). Berry and Aubry were never married. However, what is transpiring is the equivalent of Berry paying alimony. Furthermore, Berry has her daughter most of the time. Aubry is not shouldering any significant expenses in childcare. At one point Aubry had made $750,000 from modeling. Where did all his money go.

The Woman Karim Benzema Dumped Rihanna For Is An Escort (Analicia Chaves)

Analicia Chaves

Miami resident and alleged model, Analicia Chaves, made the news last week when she leaked intimate photos and videos of herself with Real Madrid football player Karim Benzema. The main problem is Benzema has been dating promiscuous singer, Rihanna. The other problem is pretty Chaves is the ex-girlfriend of Belgium football player, Alex Witsel. The third problem is news leaked that Chaves is an escort.

Analicia Chaves' escort ad hints at prostitution (Photos redacted by the Judiciary Report)

This all makes sense, as Chaves has posted items from her Miami condo and it is not cheap. She has not done enough modeling work or of the caliber to afford such a place on her own. However, escorts make enough money to pay for expensive condos. For her part, Chaves denied she is an escort. However, the photos on the escort service ads are definitely her. So are the ones on a website often used by escorts as a means to engage in prostitution.

Rihanna and Benzema on a date

The incident has created a scandal in Benzema's native France. He is also a Muslim and his conduct is being criticized on social networking, as not only was he bedding promiscuous Rihanna, he is now dating and having sex with an escort, Chaves, neither of whom he is married to under the law. These distractions are also not good for his football career. It can create concentration problems and stress.

When asked during the interview if she will reunite with Brown, who has been trying to win her back, the budding actress stated, "I don't know what the future holds."

Some people reacted badly to Tran's statement, calling her "weak." Tran posted an item on Instagram in response to those criticizing her, instructing them to take their opinion, fold it up like a piece of paper and stick it up their rectum. As for Brown, things have been relatively quiet with him lately and free of scandal, which is good and he should endeavor to keep it that way.

The two took the cozy photo in Miami yesterday. Depay is smirking and Tran is smiling. The people on Depay's social networking pages are congratulating him (LOL).

Depay is brave, because if you remember correctly, last month, Tran took an innocent selfie with male supermodel, Tyson Beckford and the singer threatened to break his legs and have his Bloods gang associates shoot him in Las Vegas, Nevada (Chris Brown Having Ex-Girlfriend Followed And Threatens To Have His Bloods Gang Members Kill Model Tyson Beckford Over Selfie With Karrueche Tran).

Chris Brown posted an apology to his Twitter page today for the threats of violence he made against male supermodel Tyson Beckford, the mother of his child and his 17-year-old son, after seeing a selfie of ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, with the photogenic star in Las Vegas. People on social networking, among them some of Browns fans, slammed his threatening comments, after the singer publicly called on his Bloods gang associates to attack Beckford with a gun.

Tyson Beckford

Brown also threatened to beat Beckford's son and crudely stated he is going to f**k the boy's mother. Brown assumed the worst after Tran, who dumped him for fathering a child with nude model Nia Amey, took a photo with Beckford and made a kissing face at the camera. Brown flew off the handle and began issuing the aforementioned threats online.

Brown blamed his outburst on being a "light skin" black male, which drew criticism from black people online. Brown's real problem is destructive friends, mental illness, the refusal to take his bipolar medication on a regular basis as ordered by his doctor, narcotics abuse and alcoholism.

Until he comes to terms with these facts and starts taking proactive measures to improve his mental health and the state of his personal life, problems of a serious and damaging nature will keep occurring. People in Brown's circle and some, not all of his fans, who keep expressing approval and making excuses for everything he does are not helping his plight. He could end up dead at an early age from an overdose, due to the self-inflicted abuse going on in his life. I'm really starting to think Brown needs a conservatorship, because things are spiraling out of control with no court supervision present.

Thief And Gunman Apprehended By Police With Fake Modeling Shoot After Becoming A Model And Rapper With Instagram Page

When Instagram Goes Wrong

Ben Fiberesima on the set of one of his music videos that received 186,000 views on You Tube

A gangster who fled London for Australia and embarked on a career as a model and musician, was arrested by authorities, after police lured him to a fake modeling shoot. 30-year-old Ben Fiberesima fled North London's South Kilburn, after being arrested and bailed on weapons, theft and fraud charges in England.

Ben Fiberesima's Instagram account

Fiberesima fled to Australia and became a rapper under the moniker Roky Million, branding himself "the sexiest rapper alive" and modeled for famous designers such as Tom Ford. Fiberesima also authored a self-help book which stated he was worth seven figures. He set up an Instagram account, unwisely refusing to lay low as a fugitive.

Ben Fiberesima's Instagram account

The Metropolitan Police, much like their police force counterparts worldwide, loves social networking for catching criminals. They've nabbed a number of lawbreaking individuals, who either surfaced online or even more incriminatingly flashed stolen loot and property on social networking for all to see.

Ben Fiberesima modelling

Someone sent the Metropolitan Police a tip after spotting Fiberesima on Instagram with a bevy of beauties (Fiberesima will no doubt brand the tipster a hater). This prompted the police to set up a fake modeling shoot in the fashionable North London district of Kentish Town, after contacting a top modeling agency he worked for, requesting his services. When Fiberesima showed up to the Kentish Town studio to model, police arrested him. He has been sentenced to 3-years and 9-months in jail.

Ben Fiberesima modelling

My question is, Fiberesima clearly has the ability to model and rap, why didn't he just do that in the first place instead of turning to a life of crime. People, work on your goals and dreams and stick to that. It will take hard work and dedication but you can make it. Be sensible with your choices and leave the life of crime alone.

Fugitive model Ben Fiberesima jailed after London police sting

Tuesday 19 May 2015 - Police have snared a gangster from London, almost a decade after he established a second life as a model and musician while he was a fugitive in Australia. Ben Fiberesima, 30, from South Kilburn, skipped bail while on trial for fraud and weapons charges in London seven years ago.

Police arrested him in 2008 after they discovered a stun gun, a canister of CS gas and stolen property at his flat after he reported an attempted burglary. After he was bailed, he absconded and adopted a false identity, the Kilburn Times reported. While on the run, Fiberesima modelled for high fashion labels including Tom Ford, and recorded rap using the stage name Roky Million.

In a self-help book Fiberesima penned last year, he boasted he was “worth seven figures by the age of 26”, and used his social media accounts to flaunt his success. But last year Fiberesima’s lavish lifestyle came to an abrupt end when an anonymous tipster alerted the police that he had returned to London. Metropolitan Police detectives posed as a fake photograph company to contact a prestigious modelling agency which had Fiberesima on its books...

Women Who Date Famous Men And Become Famous Too But Is It The Norm (Karrueche Tran, Chris Brown, Coleen Rooney And Wayne Rooney)

 

Chris Brown is bitter over making girlfriend Karrueche Tran famous now that they have broken up

As Chris Brown and girlfriend Karrueche Tran go through a high profile break-up on social networking, one can't help but think of the topic of women who date famous men and receive a level of fame as well. Tran has become famous from dating Brown, which did not seem like a calculated move on her part. However, she has been enjoying it and trying to capitalize on the attention.

Just like Chris took to Karrueche, so did the public. However, there are some women who date stars for the attention and money, with the ulterior motive of becoming famous as well. They try to use the famous man as a launch pad to fame, while taking their money. However, fame usually eludes them. The public can see right through those things and dislike attention seeking girlfriends of famous men.

Furthermore, it's hard enough becoming famous when you do have talent (it's often who you know, not what you know, then the public's willingness to accept you). When you don't have talent and are relying on namedropping online or in public settings the name of a famous man you're having sex with, in seeking attention or favors from the public, whilst being half naked or naked on Instagram and or Twitter, it will not make you famous or a household name. It simply doesn't work. People see that as a user trying to cheat their way to fame by having sex with someone and bragging about it..

 

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran

 

Chris Brown is angry at his break up with Karrueche, as he spent a lot of money on her, buying her a car, designer clothes, shoes, purses and even moved her into his home at one point. He single-handedly made her famous. Brown first hired Karrueche as a back up dancer, then got her modeling and acting work. Tran now has 2,300,000 followers on Instagram and 500,000 on Twitter, which is high. She also made over $200,000. Take it from someone who knows the industry well, this is not the norm. The public usually doesn't take to girlfriends of famous men this well.

Tran is pretty, but looks are not enough. She has a personality that has attracted people to her and she didn't come across as a skank trying to use Brown for fame. Dating Chris made her famous by accident. When he saw the attention she received, he tried to help her get a career as a model and actress. Now people recognize her when she is not with him.

There are many attention seeking girlfriends of celebrities online and 99% of them don't receive the type of attention from the public or press Karrueche has attracted, as their follow counts are low despite the exposure of being linked with a star and bloggers and pop culture writers are not compelled to write about them. As stated above, many girlfriends of stars are on Instagram and Twitter, some half naked, trying to become famous as well and it usually does not happen, costing their men a lot of money and string pulling in the process. At the end of the day, you can't force something on the public. Either they like it or they don't.

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran 

My advice to the girlfriends of famous men, who want careers in the entertainment industry, avoid the namedropping online and intimating or bragging on social networking about having sex with them, because the public will remember it and brand you unfavorable things such as an attention seeking whore, skank and jump off (trust me, I read social networking extensively for fun and research purposes). It will damage your name and limit your career opportunities. Do something legitimate in your own right. You'll feel much better when you legitimately make it on your own. No one can take that from you.

Coleen Rooney

Case in point, Coleen Rooney, the wife of Manchester United football star, started off as his girlfriend, who was thrust into the public eye when he became a signing of the world famous team. Coleen came across as wholesome and decent with a very cute look. This made bloggers and journalists on pop culture sites want to write about and interview her for stories.

Then, Coleen became famous in her own right as a columnist, blogger, fashion designer and media personality, as the public didn't view her as some tramp online sexing a star and name dropping him for attention, with the hope of fame. They saw (see) her in her own right as a woman. Rooney has 1,200,000 followers on Twitter and has made millions in earnings.

The Fall Of An Icon - NBC And Netflix Cancel Planned Bill Cosby Shows As More Women Come Forward Accusing Him Of Raping And Drugging Them (Video)

When I was a kid "The Cosby Show" was the top rated sitcom in America. I still watch the reruns on cable. So it saddens me to hear of the serious rape allegations against the show's star Bill Cosby. 16 women have come forward alleging he drugged and raped them. In light of the new rape allegations against Cosby, the NBC television network and the Netflix television subscriber service, have cancelled their planned programs with the comedic actor.

During an Associated Press interview, Cosby demanded questions about the rape allegations be buried. When asked about the rape claims Cosby stated, "We don't answer that." When someone accuses a person of something so serious, answers should be forthcoming. Issuing a "no comment" gives an air of guilt.

 

Bill Cosby

The most recent rape allegations against Cosby come from 1980s supermodel, Janice Dickinson, famous 1970s "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" actress Louisa Moritz and publicist, Joan Tarshis. Dickinson and Tarshis allege Cosby drugged them, via pills with wine and when they later woke up, found evidence they had been raped and penetrated. Moritz alleges Cosby showed up in her dressing room, unzipped his pants and pushed her face to crotch with his hands, forcing her to perform oral sex. Moritz stated Cosby threatened, "Now you don't want to upset me and the plans for your future, do you?"

Many of the women accusing Cosby of rape exhibited the fear the superstar would destroy their careers if they did not accept the rapes and sexual assaults. There are other men in the industry, who engage in this thoroughly unethical behavior that is patently illegal. There are men and women in Hollywood, who arrogantly threaten and attempt to destroy the careers and lives of those who sexually rebuff them. Hollywood is a crazy, sexually deviant and largely unregulated place, where anything goes, even at innocent people's expense.

Allegations Actor Bill Cosby Drugged And Raped 14 Women Resurface

"The Cosby Show" cast

Bill Cosby, famous for his role as "Healthcliffe Huxtable" on the megahit "The Cosby Show" is known as America's favorite dad. However, for years he has been dogged by sexual assault and rape allegations. For a time the claims had died down. However, last month, comedian Hannibal Buress, stirred up the rumors again during a live stand up set. 

Bill Cosby

One of his alleged victims, model and actress, Barbara Bowman, who is now 47-years-old, did an interview after Buress' statements, accusing Cosby of flying her out to Los Angeles, promising to be her mentor and make her a star, but drugging, choking and raping her when she was age 22. Bowman stated to the Daily Mail, "I was drugged and raped by that man. He is a monster. He came at me like a monster. My hope is that others who have experienced sexual abuse will not be intimidated into silence by the famous, rich and powerful. If I can help one victim, then I've done my job." 

Barbara Bowman

As a result of Buress bringing the allegations back to the forefront of the press, leading to Bowman's interview, Cosby has cancelled a number of high profile interviews, stating he will not discuss the rape claims. This past weekend, Cosby's lawyer spoke out about the allegations stating, "Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced. The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true. Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work."

Last week, singer turned talk show host, Adrienne Bailon, insulted singer Chris Brown and his girlfriend, Karrueche Tran. Bailon insulted Brown and Tran on "The Real" daytime talk show. Bailon labeled Brown a bad guy and Tran a gold digger using the singer for his fame, money and to get into exclusive places with her friends, she basically described as leeches. Singer, Tamar Braxton, co-signed some of the mess, but with a bit more tact.

Chris Brown slams Adrienne Bailon on Instagram in response to her comments on "The Real"

After Brown slammed Bailon and Braxton, the two responded. Bailon curiously stated, "Who said anything bad about her? I actually know her...We're cool. The conversation was generally speaking of anyone who may 'possibly' be in a bad relationship. Please don't start drama that doesn't EXIST. If she's happy...so am I." Sorry, you don't say things like that about people you "know" and are "cool with." It was insulting.

Adrienne Bailon Addresses Chris Brown's Rant: "Who Said Anything Bad" About Karrueche Tran

Celebrity News Nov. 4, 2014 AT 12:30PM By Esther Lee  - Adrienne Bailon and Chris Brown Tamar Braxton responded to Chris Brown's hateful rant via Instagram, after he called her the "ugly sister": Be a "real man," she says. Adrienne's answer! After being the main target of Chris Brown's expletive-filled rant on Monday, Nov. 3, Adrienne Bailon took to Instagram to respond to a commenter after Brown claimed The Real co-host attacked his girlfriend Karrueche Tran. 

In an Instagram update addressing his previously deleted tirade, Brown revealed to fans what really set him off. "Yesterday's roast was amusing to some and disrespectful to others," the 25-year-old "X" singer wrote. "All in all the whole s--- was childish. I could've have been politically correct and went about the situation more civilized but I'm not fake nor do I need to ever comment on anyone's life. I felt the need to say what I felt. It seems everyone can always have an opinion on 'CHRIS BROWN' and chime in whenever they want. 

The show was depicting relationships. They gave their views on my relationship by bashing my significant other for being with me publicly on national television. There are too many Pots calling the kettle black."...

The former 3LW singer also discussed her career, which was initially mocked by Brown: "U can't talk about relationship goals when u don't even have life goals," he wrote Monday night. "Ain't you a cheetah girl? Last time u was important n----s was riding spinners and wearing 6x talk Ts."

Bailon, though, said there was no shame in her girl group roots. "I certainly STARTED my career in a multi platinum singing group," she continued. "Get your facts straight. You don't need to freeload when you have your own Barbie. God bless."...

After being acquitted of "premeditated murder" athlete Oscar Pistorius has been found guilty of manslaughter in the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The beautiful model and reality star was shot dead by Pistorius in his home. Pistorius stated he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder. Prosecutors in his native South Africa are of the belief, the couple had a fight, Steenkamp fled to the bathroom and Pistorius in a rage shot her to death through the door.

South African judge, Thokozile Masipa, ruled Pistorius shooting Steenkamp four times would cause anyone to believe death could result from discharging a firearm multiple times. Other items have created pause among the public. Why would Steenkamp have locked herself in the bathroom, putting the lock on, if she was not afraid of being attacked. Secondly, why did Pistorius wait so long to call for help. The life drained out of Steenkamp while Pistorius waited so long after shooting her to call an ambulance. It gives a certain impression.

Pistorius, who cried uncontrollably in court, is currently free on bail in South Africa and must return to the court next month to be sentenced regarding his manslaughter conviction. Pistorius faces up to 15-years in prison on the manslaughter conviction.

The internet reacted in shock yesterday when athlete Oscar Pistorius was acquitted of premeditated murder charges in the shooting death of girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. As the verdict was read from the South African court and filtered out around the world, people voiced their opinions on social networking calling it an injustice.

Judge Thokozile Masipa stated prosecutors had not proven their case. She further stated "manslaughter" was a "competent" charge, as he did in fact kill Steenkamp. However, the prosecutors went for the highest charges they could muster, due to Pistorius' history of domestic violence with other women, the gruesome nature of the crime scene and the fact he did not call for help after shooting Steenkamp. 

The case should not be about Pistorius being famous, an Olympian and a Paralympian. At the end of the day, a woman was shot dead under bizarre circumstances. Her family is devastated and demanding justice. Those are the only factors that should be of relevance.

Tran and Brown have broken up several times and each time Rihanna was involved. Though Rihanna and Brown have had two high profile break ups, she continues to contact him via text messages and ask about what he is doing. Each time Brown makes a public declaration about his feelings for Tran, Rihanna contacts him and or tries to make him jealous with another man (usually rapper Drake).

Rihanna has caused problems in Tran and Brown's relationship, creating an emotionally unhealthy cycle of break-ups that is not good for any of them. I don't know how their hearts can take it. A commitment would be better between Brown and Tran. Rehab would be best for Rihanna to address her drug, alcohol and mental illness issues (bipolar, PTSD, among other things).

Rihanna has repeatedly used rapper Drake to make Chris Brown jealous, as the two had been rivals for a couple years. Drake and Brown became friends again and both issued insults in her direction. However, after Brown reunited with Tran at a flag football game, in a big display of public affection that was plastered all over social networking, Rihanna became jealous. Once again, she started dating Drake again to get back at Brown for running back to Tran so soon after going back to her. That's a clear sign he is no longer serious about Rihanna and he's just playing with her.
