Rihanna And Chris Brown Follow Each Other On Twitter, Fans React

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (4)

Rihanna and Chris Brown are now following each other on Twitter. Fans offer their reaction, one fan in particular received some harsh words followed by an apology from Rihanna.

It seem inevitable that the day would come when Chris Brown and Rihanna would regain some level of contact – the only unknown was when. Earlier this year Rihanna and her lawyer agreed to relax the long standing restraining order against Chris Brown. The new relaxed restraining order allows Chris and Rihanna to contact each other.

The next sure thing to happen? The public’s reaction, will they accept Rihanna’s decision to ever speak to Chris Brown again? One fan made her sentiments clear, she wrote on Twitter,

“I never thought you would go back to him! You better not, its your life but you do have ppl that look up to you. e.g young girls

Rihanna quickly retorted stating,

“its fu**in twitter, not the alter! calm down.”

Rihanna later apologized saying, “babygirl, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt or offend u! Just needed to make it clear to the Navy! I still stan for u xoxo”.

Have Chris Brown and Rihanna make peace? Will their fans allow the two to honor the doctrine of forgiveness and forge a new path forward in their own time? If Rihanna’s fan twitter post is any indication to the future, these two have a long way to go.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
