A perspective on the whole Rihanna thing.
I know people are probably sick of seeing stuff about this. I know I am.
The way they are both acting is typical of an abusive and/or manipulative relationship, right down to the make up and forgive and the SUPER extra public display of they are so happy and together to fix their publicity.
So everyone is all wondering whats going on her mind and are getting set to either demonize or forgive him.
The people I wonder about are the other people close to her. The ones who know the whole story, not the polished and shiny one given to the media. Who sat with her when she cried, who helped her while she healed, who built a wall of defense around her to try to keep her safe from getting hurt again and had confidence in her that she would do the "right" thing and not put herself back into the firing line.
So now that she's decided that the right thing is to give him a second chance (Second by our knowledge, they could be up to like, 102nd by now) what happens to the rest of the people involved?
They have to lock it down and hide it. They have to play along with the story given to the public. Because if they care about Rihanna and her wishes, then they have to make sure she has the best shot of making it work as possible. And in most cases like this, either they go along with it, or they get shut out completely.
I'd like to ask how those people are handling it. Because well... I'd really like to know.
