Say it ain't so!

There have been rumours aplenty that Chris Brown has assaulted his girlfriend Rihanna by giving her a slapping, a shaking and a biting!

In 2007, Chris Brown admitted in an interview with American magazine Giant, that his family had suffered domestic abuse at the hands of his stepfather.

He said: 'He made me afraid all the time and terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made my mother's nose bleed.

'I was crying and thinking, "I'm just gonna go crazy on him one day…" I hate him to this day.'

On the Tyra Banks chat show, he said his childhood experience made him very respectful of women: 'It affected me… I treat women differently. Because I don't want another family to go through the same thing or put a woman through the same thing that that person put my mom through.'

If, God forbid, the rumours are true, what the **** were you thinking Chris? Hitting a woman is a very serious indiscretion. I’m now going to have no choice but to delete every single one of your records from my iTunes library. But that’s nothing compared to what Rihanna’s going to have to deal with. She’s good because if you put your big, punishing, shoulda-known-better hands on me, I wouldn’t be calling the police on you, I’d call a man who knows a man who knows a man who would make you know what it feels like to be bitten and slapped and frightened and embarrassed.

Having said all that, if the assault really did happen, God help him and Rihanna. I guess they're only human - famous stars or not.
