It seems like now-a days the names Rihanna and Chris Brown have to be together.
So many questions were EVERYWHERE.
Did Chris Brown really beat Rihanna? Where is the proof? Have they made a statement yet?
And then, their PR people finally released very vague statements, but it was enough to know the rumors were true and that Rihanna was definitely a victim of Chris Browns assault.
The internet then had dozens of reenacted pictures that showed Rihanna with faux beatings and marks.
But finally, all questions came to an end when an officer leaked out a horrific picture of a battered Rihanna. And then, that picture was EVERYWHERE.
I understand the media, and I understand concerned fans. Everyone wanted to know if something like that actually happened to two people who were never in the media for anything so controversial. And we expect the media to be ruthless and we expect the media to disregard other peoples feelings just so they can get their story. So we expect pictures. Right?
But when someone needs help, and pictures of domestic abuse are taken in confidentiality by a police department that is suppose to be trusted, it is sickening to think that no one is safe. And that information can be leaked if the dollar amount is right. I am completely appalled that something like this would happen from a department that is suppose to be respected. How awful.
I will not make any excuses though, I think that the picture of Rihanna is something that people need to see. There are so many women going through the same thing, and it is always kept hush- hush. And I think that women need to embrace something like this and know that it is okay to say its not okay. I think that women need to know that this happens to a lot of people, celebrities included. But, it is a scary thought to think that many women will think that the lack of confidentiality has been broken, and that nothing they do is going to assure them that their information will not be released. Maybe this could have been done in a more consensual manner. But, is there a consensual manner for something like this?
I don’t think so.
So, I guess we do nothing about it.
And that is sad.

Octo-Mom
I’m so tired of hearing about the Octo-Mom.
Really.
The media has handled this issue exactly the way they handle everything else; by making a big deal.
No, I don’t agree with her choices, and I really think that the families issues need to be resolved without a camera recording every minute of it. I think because they are being over exposed, the family is being torn apart. The issue’s that need to be resolved need to be done in a private matter.
Whatever choices she makes should be her decision. But I don’t think that my tax dollars need to provide for a family that she cant provide for herself.
If she wants to go have 10 other kids, by all means go and do it. But, I think that she needs to have the means to do so. I don’t think its fair to he children, herself or any of us that are contributing to the family. I don’t understand why anyone would think its ok to bring a life( let alone 8) into this world if the child can not be financially taken care of. I think its was an irresponsible decision oh her part as well as the doctor that did it.
Have they even questioned the crazy doctor?
The number of children she has is insane. I don’t think anyone in their right mind could possible take care and give their full attention to children when there are that many of them.
And I think about how they don’t have a father figure around. And surely the older children must be seeing their grandmother and mother fighting on public television, and I wonder how that makes them feel. And I wonder if they’re going to end up just as bad as their mother, and I wonder if when they get older, theyre going to be embarrassed for everything their mother is doing. And, I feel sorry for the children, because none of this is their fault. And all they can do, is nothing.
But I don’t think that this has anything to do with Christianity. I have not heard anything about her faith, so I can’t say, but I think that in her mind she is doing the right thing.
And I guess, really she isn’t committing a sin. Whatever it is, I hope that she can take care of the babies the way that babies are suppose to be taken care of. And if she can show them love, then I guess that is all that matters.
