Rihanna and Chris Brown
Back in the mid 2000’s, Rihanna and Chris Brown were friends, who eventually began a romantic relationship in 2008. The world was glued to every pin drop that involved the two until the infamous assault on Rihanna by Brown in February 2009. Following the incident, Brown lost all his endorsements, saw lower album sales, and had various run-ins with the law, which led to rehab, jail, and the loss of a lot of income. Rihanna, on the other hand, thrived! In January 2013, Chris and Rihanna decided to give their relationship another shot. Rihanna made it clear to any critics that she would walk away if he is physically abusive again. She said, “When you add up the pieces from the outside, it’s not the cutest puzzle in the world. You see us walking somewhere, driving somewhere, in the studio, in the club, and you think you know. But it’s different now. We don’t have those types of arguments anymore. We talk about shit. We value each other. We know exactly what we have now, and we don’t want to lose that.” However, the couple split up four months later.
