After Rihanna sat down with Oprah and discussed her relationship with Chris Brown Sunday on "Oprah's Next Chapter," we had to wonder, "But what does Breezy think?" Apparently, the only natural reaction to hearing your girlfriend forgive you for grievous physical assault: Fall in love all over again.
The 23-year-old R&B singer texted Rihanna after watching her cry on national television, apologized, and confessed his love to her. "Afterwards he got some water and was like 'you know I love her and we're going to get back [together] one day.' After that, he sent her a text and thanked her for respecting him on the interview and he told her we was sorry for everything, and that he loves her," a source tells HollywoodLife.com.
Breezy's mother however, didn't feel the same butterflies during Rihanna's recounting of Brown's abuse. Brown repeatedly punched Rihanna until her mouth filled with blood, and then choked her until she began to lose consciousness the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards.
Forty-four-year-old "mother/manager" Joyce Hawkins took to her Twitter account, tweeting clichés about the merits of telling the truth while Rihanna's episode of "Oprah's Next Chapter" aired, seemingly trying to defend her son.
Hawkins has since distanced herself from doing any such thing.
Hollywoodlife.com even recruited an "expert" from Loveology University - which "trains students for a career as a Love Coach with teaching and guiding techniques on how to build a Love Coaching practice and [offers] the Master Sexpert certification, which focuses on everything you ever wanted to know about sex" - to weigh in on the issue.
"If they were to get back together again, they should go to counseling together and share the lessons they've learned with the public," Dr. Ava Cadell, Founder of Loveology University, told HollywoodLife.com.
"They could be a powerful role model couple for others who have experienced similar abusive relationships,"Dr. Cadill said.
In addition to going to therapy together, Rihanna must also be fully aware of the warning signs of a batterer. "She should be aware of the warning signs of an abusive man and unhealthy relationship. Some women find comfort in repetitive patterns even if they are destructive, so it's important for Rihanna to empower herself and let her female fans know that she will never be a victim of domestic violence again," said Dr. Cadill.
In Sunday's interview Rihanna broke down in tears while revealing she thinks of Chris as the love of her life. "I still love him," Rihanna told Oprah, while softly crying. ""I think he was the love of my life. He was the first love and I see that he loved me the same way. We were very young and very spontaneous."
