Very well written
I like how you put your opinion forward keep it up

I must say that I agree with you
Rihanna has given hope to many women out there who believe that one day their abusive husbands or boyfriends will stop. Or that it was a one off thing. Violence against women, AUSTRALIA SAYS NO!
recent news has also reported Brett Stewart, NRL Star has defamed the standing of the NRL also the community and the club with sexual assault allegations towards a 17 year old girl. Although not all details have been given to the public this is not the first time the NRL representatives have put the NRL name in jeopardy. Many times these have included violence of any sort towards women. If role models continue this way, what is left for those who look up to these stars and idolise them?
who will put an end to the Violence not only towards women but in general

Interesting point Kelly. First of all we will never know all the facts, which is pretty much the power of tabloids as it enables them to skew any story any which way they please and or milk a story for even more than it's worth.
Unfortunately for Rhianna she does have the added pressure of being a role model for young women in the decisions that she makes. Im definately not suggesting that it's a good idea to stay with a physically abusive partner but people all over the world are living with abusive partners for one reason or another and they too have made that decision. I think the real injustice here is not that Rhianna has set a bad example, but that she is subjected to having to be a role model in her own time of crisis.
She is a talented performer and it is her job to perform to entertain through her music, not her private life.

Also, I wasn't aware of the fact that the media has said she was abused with an umbrella. That's some kind of sadistic irony that is.
