Rihanna Will Testify in Chris Brown Case if Required

There's been a lot of speculation as to whether or not Rihanna will testify against Chris Brown come April 6th.

Rihanna's lawyer Donald Etra said she could wind up testifying in the felony assault case, but only if she's required to.

"She is planning to do everything that the law requires her to do," Etra tells Us Weekly. "If she is required to testify, she will do so."

Rihanna was noticeably absent from Chris' court hearing yesterday afternoon, but her lawyer was there on her behalf.

Etra refused a "no-contact order" on Rihanna's behalf, which means Chris isn't ordered to stay away from her.

"Miss Fenty [Rihanna] does not request such an order," he told the Judge yesterday afternoon. When asked how she is doing, Etra said, "She is doing fine. She really appreciates the love and support of her fans."

The couple reunited last week and are reportedly holed up in a hotel room somewhere in Beverly Hills. Chris was spotted at the SLS hotel bar late last night but Rihanna was nowhere in sight. Where in the world could Rihanna be?

Ugh, what's with the news constantly reporting only of Chris Brown & Rihanna? I know everyone wants to know, but yeah, I don't. Thank you.

I am just so tired of how the media is painting Chris Brown as an abuser as if this happened so many times before. Do you have proof of that? Just because she said that to the police does not mean that it is necessarily true. She was just reading a text message (why was she snooping anyway, you get what you are looking for) from one of his former interests, and they had an argument and he hit her back (yes i did say back). She was upset and yes when you are 20 and your boyfriend has cheated on you,and you just had a fight, emotions are high, you are seeking revenge she could have very well fabricated the story a little. I DO NOT condone a man hitting on a women to use her as his personal punching bag. At the same time I DO NOT condone a woman using a man as hers either. Yes we have been taught that since we were little that a man should not touch a woman, but these young women need to know too that you keep your hands to yourself. Yes a man may walk away or allow you to hit him without hitting you back but at some point you should expect that one day he is going to snap and hit you back. From other stories particuarly to one in People magazine, those close to them have said their fights start from jealousy and that Rihanna doesnt like women around Chris, she is also obsessed with the boy and according to them it was a bit much for him. She should have known when she 'feel in love' with Chris that women wanting to hang around comes with the territory..so the fact that she allowed a relationship to evolve then she was willing to accept or so she thought. He had to deal with rumors about her and others as well. Chris is a male and males do things like that. He is 19 and too young for the relationship they thought they were mature enough to handle. I wish everyone would lay off the boy a bit and put some of the responsibility on her as well. Chris was wrong for hitting her like he did, i will have to admit that i was really disturbed after reading the police notes to the point that I couldnt work. But I am willing to bet that there is more to his story because we have only heard her side. I am willing to bet she was attacking him while he was driving. Also I would have to ask Rihanna a question, why didnt you get out the car when he 'tried to push you out' It would have been apparent the argument had gone too far then. She had her phone, all these people she was calling while they were driving could have picked her up. If this isnt the first time like the media is trying so hard to make us believe then I would think as a battered scared women you would know when the conversation has reached that point and at that point would be the time to shut up or get away. "if" that wasnt the first time. I am just not willing to throw Chris under the bus like everyone else because I wasnt there and I know it is 2 sides to every story regardless of what a photo shows or what some notes says a person said. The fact that she wants to be with him so bad may be because she is sorry for her part in the altercation and knows this has gone too far. Dont give me the mess about that is typical of battered women to go back and feel like they cannot leave. One because Chris and Rihanna are not married and have no ties to each other what so ever. She is RIHANNA she does not depend on Chris for anything that has to do with her well being she has her own. So in this situation I dont buy that one. Yes in cases where a child has grown up witnessing domestic violence they tend to do the same when they are older. But you know there are cases where because people have grown up in the environment they refuse it and break the cycle and lets not forget this was not his biological father it was his step dad. How come Chris couldnt be one that had broken the cycle and this was an isolated event? Everybody knows so much but tell it all, give examples of several cases not just one sided ones. If I was Chris' mom i would advise him to stay away from Rihanna. Its apparent they both are immature and have anger problems so they BOTH need help not just Chris. Maybe try again later when they have matured. The media is something else I tell you. Allow these people to deal with their issues by themselves and stop putting every little detail out there. That is their business. All those judging, how would you like it if someone put your mess out there for everyone to judge you on? Stop throwing stones when you likely live in a glass house yourself. And stop saying what you would or wouldnt do in this situation because you dont know what you would do until faced with it. This is a case of two young people trying to play grown, he cheats and she wants him to be faithful, she tries to control him but cant, normally she argues about it out of jealousy, hits and this particular time she was stunned when he hit her back and she was left wondering 'what happened?' Typical Yvette and Jody from Baby Boy when she confronted in the apartment and she

Any chicken head that testifies against you is no good. She shouldn't have called the cops in the first place. She was clearly doing something she shouldn't have been doing to get beat up like that.
