Rihanna & Chris Brown Reunite at Diddy's Place

According to the latest reports, the couple which had all sorts of controversy surrounding them are apparently back together. 21 year old singer Rihanna, who was the reported victim of Chris Brown's recent assault and criminal charges, received a call from the 19 year old Brown on her 21st b-day. This was also the same day that the horrifying photo of Rihanna's bruised face was released on the internet at sites such as TMZ.com. The duo has apparently reconciled with Rihanna's family ok with it. They were recently photographed in Miami together at a home owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs, with Brown seen riding a jetski and Rihanna sun bathing in a bikini. According to NY Daily News: Domestic violence experts said they were dismayed, but not surprised, to hear the pop beauty had given Brown another shot at romance after he allegedly beat her Feb. 8. Yet they remained concerned what message this would send to the 21-year-old "Umbrella" singer's fans. "It makes perfect sense that she would go back to him," said Madeline Garcia Bigelow, director of the domestic violence project at Manhattan's Urban Justice Center. "The reality is that when you're in an intimate relationship with anyone you tend to give people chances."

It's entirely possible that this wasn't the first altercation they've had and it may not be their last. According to some early news programs' guests, a victim of domestic violence will return to their abuser if they feel their family may be threatened. In other instances, it's a sign of insecurity which keeps the battered woman with the abuser. Questions are definitely swirling as to what Rihanna is thinking by reconciling with Brown, and it is hoped that Brown is already entered into some sort of intense counseling if this is the case. Brown is set to appear in court this coming Thursday.
