Yvonne Fenty, a cousin of Rihanna’s, claimed that the “Umbrella” singer is currently on the island of Barbados — recovering from last Sunday’s violent attack by boyfriend-R&B star Chris Brown — with friends and family, and told RadarOnline.com exclusively that “Rihanna is holding up well.”
“Everyone is looking after her–she is just trying to catch herself and get her life back on track. None of this is as bad as everyone makes it sound. Her injuries weren’t near as bad as people make them sound. Yes, she is going through a rough time and is upset, but she is thinking positive and resting. She will be fine.”
Pop diva Rihanna’s family is asking media and others for understanding.
According to Rihanna’s uncle, Daddy I-Roy, the singer is alright, but the family is not due to the constant phone calls and other forms of contact from members of the media and other organizations.
“All I can tell you is that we haven’t spoken to her and she is alright, but that is all I can tell anyone,” says I-Roy. “I don’t even know where these people have gotten my numbers from, but they need to stop calling because I can’t give them any information.”
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ — The following statement was issued by a spokesman on behalf of Chris Brown:
“Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds.”

According to Us Magazine, the country star Carrie Underwood is upset by the way the media is handling Rihanna’s alleged assault by Chris Brown.
She says, “They were fine at the Grammy party. I don’t think anybody actually knows what happened.”
The country cutie continues, “You hear a new [rumour] every five minutes, and some of them are getting ridiculous. I really hope everyone will lay off and just let everybody who’s involved figure out everything first.”
Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty, was shocked when he first heard news that his daughter had been attacked by Chris Brown.
“I didn’t believe it,” the 55-year-old salesman and freelance clothing designer told People. “They seemed pretty happy [when I saw them together in July]. I don’t know what went wrong… You think you know somebody, but you really don’t.”
Rihanna is currently with girlfriends in Barbados while she heals but Fenty says, “There is some bruising. She will be alright. At some point, she will speak out. I hope she will stand up for women all over the world… If it were me, I’d move on.”
