Oprah Chimes In On Rihanna And Chris Brown’s Domestic Drama

March 9, 2009



Oprah Winfrey is not only talking about Rihanna and Chris Brown’s domestic drama, she’s also taking action.

During a live, roundtable discussion Friday on her talk show she said:

“Chris Brown and Rihanna, if I was your friend, I would call you up and I would say, ‘Give it some time, get yourself some counseling, take care of yourself.’”  “‘Heal yourself first.”

“And also, love doesn’t hurt. I’ve been saying this to women for years: ‘If a man hits you once, he will hit you again.’ “

Shocked by the fact that Rihanna is still with Brown, Winfrey says she plans to dedicate an upcoming episode of her show to the topic of domestic violence.

“It makes me so sad that I said to the producers, ‘I want to do a show about it this week dedicated to all the Rihanna’s of the world,’ ” Winfrey said, citing a statistic that one out of four women in the country are battered.

Oprah’s BFF Gayle King added:

“My thing about this is, if you guys want to get back together, I’m okay with that, but at least take some time.  I’m so worried that she’s sending the wrong message to the fans. And him, too.”
