Oprah warns Rihanna and women everywhere on her show today: “I’ve said before love doesn’t hurt, and if a man hits you once, he will hit you again!”
Tyra Banks, who has interviewed both Rihanna and Chris Brown on her show, also appears on the show and she tells Oprah they’ve both discussed witnessing domestic abuse when they were growing up.
“Rihanna told me that her parents used to argue so intensely and she used to get these headaches, almost migraines … and it was almost living hell for her,” she says. “The moment her parents separated, the headaches went away.”
Tyra also said that the domestic violence Chris saw at his home scarred him so much that he used to pee in his bed. “When you grew up in an environment where there is abuse, it’s more acceptable to you,” Oprah said. “If you go back with a man who hits you it’s because you don’t think you’re worthy of being with a man who won’t.”

TRY WHEN YOU DON’T HEAR THE SIRENS OF THE POLICE AND THE AMBULANCE COMING TO RIHANNA’S HOME..
THAT IS WHEN YOU KNOW THAT IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN
AND THAT THEY ARE NOT DATING HOW MUCH MORE BULL
SHIT LIES DO WE NEED THE MOST OVEREXPOSED SHIT
COUPLE OUT THERE .. TOOK A POLL ON SHOWBIZ NO ONE WANTS EITHER ONE ANYMORE
Tyra and Oprah
Jumping on a bandwagon, Domestic Violence is a serious issue, but stop with Chris and Rihanna
I agree, Tealeaf.
Ohh for the love of….
‘IF HE HITS YOU ONCE HE WILL HIT AGAIN..’ YES
WE ALL KNOW THAT NOW.. Drill it into our heads
and send the hearse over to Rihannas now have it sit there all day and night so when he does kill her according to you people .Maybe that is why Chris Browns attorney is going to the judges chambers March 27. Than you can find another VICTIM OF A CRIME!Talk about your own crime
Oprah how you were attacked when you were a
teenager and use that as an example..Tell the
public what happened and leave Rihanna and Chris out of it.. No the duet was done in Oct 09
DUET WAS DONE OCT 08
Tyra, get over yourself. Chris WEbber did not abuse you, you self centered loser.
I didn’t watch, but couldn’t Oprah have found maybe a REAL expert on the subject of domestic violence…
At least Tyra and Oprah are sending out positive messages to young girls about domestic violence, because Rihanna is certainly not. If there are girls that are getting beaten by their boyfriends, a lot of them are going to look at Rihanna and just follow her bad example and go back to them. I think that in Chris and Rihanna’s situation they have both come from pretty bad backgrounds and then they’ve been thrown into the world of celebrity and given a lot of money and they just are not mature enough to handle it.
Oprah, Tyra and all celebrities have a platform and it is their moral duty to use it for this purpose. This is the only time their work really count for something. Other than that, its just entertainment. I thank them and Donald Trump too.
i think oprah and tyra jumped on the band wagon that is so wrong i have been abused before and what we need is people we can trust and talk to not people putting us on blast for going back both of them no they went back first before they became high and mighty, they should have put out to rhianna that she could talk to them anytime no matter what not going against the abuser that will make her more close to him the more they attack him. they should be more mutal no matter what she chooses they will back her instaed of making her fill dumb for going back she will not trust anyone outside that circle . hope these high and mighty bitches no what they have done and p.s. tyra everybody no that it was chris webber who abused you. think about this shit everyone.
oprah is such a fatass. enough said.
I think all the publicity drawn to the Chris/Rihanna saga is counterproductive The Rihannas of the world r now going to be afraid to come forward fearing the scandalous repercussions Oprah should have reached out to those kids in confidence Chris can b reformed He can change Rihanna’s dad has been on drugs all her life He did not lead by example so How can she know what to look for in a man yet he’s quick to talk to the press Everyone is capitalizing on this when the only one suffering is RiRi Have some real compassion already We can help by respecting their privacy She has already heard our take She now has noone else to turn to but him THANKS She is not only a victim but a poster child for what happens when we tell Sadly the public scorn shoved them right back together Thanks
Shit happens and nobody is perfect. true domestic violence is a serious issue but its up to chris and rihanna as to where it goes from here. Both are no strangers to this sort of life style so if the two of them choose to have this sort of thing be a part of their life, so be it ,let the two of them beat the crap out of each other. Once again this is celebrities polutting the world with their bull shit and we’re all supposed to care correct? Well not me i’ve got my own freaking problems. Jet skis , limos and mansions in march, yeah they have it bad…………They both have opportunities that the average joe can only dream of and this is how they act? what about the dam economy? Is anyone paying attention?
I HAVE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH BELIEVING ANYTHING THAT TYRA BANKS SAYS. I THINK, BETTER YET I KNOW THAT SHE HAS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH TELLING THE TRUTH. SO PEOPLE OUT THERE PLEASE PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING THAT SHE SAYS CAUSE YOU WILL HEAR HER CONTRADICT HERSELF.
