The latest news on the Chris Brown - Rihana dispute surfaced on March 9, with a allegedly accurate copy of an affidavit leaked on binsidetv.com.

Brown is accused of beating Rihanna in a brutal beating following Rihanna's making allegations of cheating.

According to the document, Rihanna found a 3 page text message on Brown's cell phone that came from a former girlfriend. Rihanna asked for details of why this woman would be in contact with Brown, which prompted Brown to attempt to kick the singer out of the car.

However since she was still wearing her seatbelt, he was unsuccessful, and the assault apparently began at that point.

Many people, including such celebrities as Oprah, have publicly expressed concern over the couple's apparent reconciliation in Miami, even as felony charges were filed against Brown.

While some say she shouldn't allow him back, others close to Chris Brown and Rihanna say that she loves him, and she's willing to work through the issues.

P. Diddy owns the home in Miami where the two are working through their difficulties. Rumors are flying that she is pregnant with his child and that the two were secretly married in a Miami ceremony, but others close to the R & B stars insist that this isn't the case.

P. Diddy is in LA currently, but offered the couple the use of his home when he heard that Brown would be working in Miami.

Although the couple fights often early rumors that Chris Brown and Rihanna have been involved in multiple, escalating incidents of violent behavior are being discredited. As more police details emerge in the case, it appears that Rihanna made no claims of escalating violence, but instead noted only two cases in which she "felt threatened" although not beaten.

However, some domestic violence experts call her attempts to reconcile foolish and short sighted.

Rihanna has said she will testify in court in the felony assault case, if she is required by law to do so. Brown has been charged with two felonies in the case.

Rihanna's spokesperson said she plans to comply with everything the law requires her to do. Her testimony could be used as exculpatory evidence that attempts to justify or mitigate the accused's actions, showing them to be not guilty, or at least without criminal intent in their actions.

The Chris Brown-Rihanna saga will continue for weeks or months, as the latest claims have Brown attempting to negotiate a plea deal where he will agree to anger management classes and counseling in return for reduced charged in the case.

Their young ages (he is 19 and she is 21) is being blamed for some of the drama, as family and friends say they haven't developed the maturity to handle these altercations. Still, they are stars currently, and have a large number of young fans.

Therefore, there's a great deal of speculation about the effect of the altercation on the careers of both musicians. Will the altercation permanently lower the couple's popularity? Or will they be able to quickly move past it?

Both are attempting to move their careers along, as Rihanna is reportedly back in the studio working on her music and Brown is putting together his next deals.

A rep for producer Polow Da Don says song was recorded days after Brown was charged in alleged altercation.

By Gil Kaufman

A spokesperson for producer Polow Da Don has confirmed that Chris Brown and Rihanna have recorded a duet. According to CNN, the unnamed song was tracked with Don just days after Brown, 19, was charged with two felonies over his alleged February 8 altercation with girlfriend Rihanna, 21.

Don's publicist said the singers - who reportedly reunited at a home owned by Diddy in Miami two weeks ago - completed the song earlier this week, though no other details were available on the track. A spokesperson for Don did not return requests for comment on the song, and spokespeople for Brown and Rihanna have declined to comment about the sessions.

"My heart goes out to both Chris and Rihanna for what has happened in the past," Polow said in a statement. "They are both great artists to work with, and I wish them well."

Brown was charged with assault and making criminal threats on March 5 and is due back in court on April 6 for his arraignment in the case.

On Wednesday, Us Magazine reported additional details on the song, quoting an unnamed source describing it as having a theme "about being stronger and growing stronger in a relationship. ... The song was originally created for Rihanna before the fight. However, it wasn't initially slated for Chris to be on the song."

The source added: "The funny thing is, the song expresses the emotions that both Chris and Rihanna are feeling at this moment - facing challenges and overcoming the ups and downs of a relationship in which you become stronger." The singers were described as being "very playful" in the studio during the session.

A month before the alleged incident, MTV News reported that the couple, who have been very private about their yearlong relationship, had actually already worked on their first original track together. The song, "Bad Girl," which leaked in January, was recorded for the soundtrack to "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and was produced by Polow but ultimately didn't make the final cut for the album.

"I came from a Jerry Bruckheimer meeting after seeing the movie, and they were telling us all the music they needed for all the scenes and the characters," Polow told MTV about his sit-down with the movie's producer. "So that night, I went to the studio and I was telling Chris about [the meeting]. And he was like, 'Let's get on it.' It was crazy, because Jerry Bruckheimer's dream was to have a song from Rihanna (for the movie), and I delivered Rihanna and Chris Brown in 24 hours. So they were like, 'Wow, that's crazy.' "

In the song, Rihanna talks about her shopping addiction, her penchant for bags and shoes and her not-so-thrifty purchasing habits. "Need no bargain, need no sale/ I want the best, I dress me well," she sings. Brown chimes in with a rap about his better half toward the end of the track. "She's a walking store, I'm talking about her clothes/ I just pause, I'm in awe, 'cause she's a fashion show."

At the time, Polow praised Brown's energy and work ethic, as well as Rihanna's unique voice and easygoing attitude and said, "We actually did a lot more records that hopefully will be coming soon."

Rihanna and Chris Brown are not working on a duet with producer Polow Da Don, despite reports that they met in a Santa Monica, Calif., studio earlier this week.

"The reports are inaccurate," Polow Da Don's publicist, Laura Wright, tells Usmagazine.com. "The duet was recording long before the incident."

The song was reported to be about "relationship issues."

"The theme is about being stronger and growing stronger in a relationship," a source told Us Wednesday. "The song was originally created for Rihanna before the fight. However, it wasn't initially slated for Chris to be on the song."

Polow Da Don -- who has worked with the Pussycat Dolls and Usher -- told Us in a statement that he wished the best for the two singers.

"My heart goes out to both Chris and Rihanna for what has happened in the past," he said. "They are both great artists to work with, and I wish them well."

Brown allegedly attacked Rihanna Feb 8 in Los Angeles. He later turned himself in to Los Angeles Police and was released on $50,000 bail.

On March 5, he was charged with two felonies -- assault by means likely to create great bodily injury and criminal threats.

He is to be arraigned April 6. If convicted, he faces anywhere from probation to four years and eight months in state prison.

IN the hallway of Hostos-Lincoln Academy in the Bronx this week, two ninth-grade girls discussed the pop singer Chris Brown, 19, who faces two felony charges for allegedly beating his girlfriend, the pop singer Rihanna, 21. At first, neither girl had believed Mr. Brown, an endearing crooner, could have done such a thing.

"I thought she was lying, or that the tabloids were making it up," one girl said.

Even after they saw a photo of Rihanna's bloodied, bruised face, which had raced across the Internet, they still defended Mr. Brown. "She probably made him mad for him to react like that," the other ninth grader said. "You know, like, bring it on?"

The girls agreed that Mr. Brown overreacted. According to court documents, the fight last month erupted after Rihanna read a text message to Mr. Brown from another woman. Mr. Brown, the affidavit said, then punched, bit and choked her.

Should he be punished? No, said the girls, whose names were withheld at the request of the school. After all, they said, Rihanna seemed to have reconciled with Mr. Brown.

"So he shouldn't get into trouble if she doesn't feel that way," one girl said. "She probably feels bad that it was her fault, so she took him back."

Her friend nodded. "I don't think he'll hit her like that again," she said.

On blogs and social networking sites, teenagers are having an e-shouting match about this highly publicized episode - perhaps the first time their generation has been compelled to think aloud about dating violence.

And what may be surprising is the level of support for Mr. Brown. While thousands of teenagers have certainly turned on Mr. Brown, many others - regardless of race or gender - defend him, often at Rihanna's expense.

In a recent survey of 200 teenagers by the Boston Public Health Commission, 46 percent said Rihanna was responsible for what happened; 52 percent said both bore responsibility, despite knowing that Rihanna's injuries required hospital treatment. On a Facebook discussion, one girl wrote, "she probly ran into a door and was too embarrassed so blamed it on chris."

This reaction has alarmed parents and professionals who work with teenagers, and Oprah Winfrey was prompted to address violence in teenage relationships on her show. Boys who condone Mr. Brown's behavior disappoint, but don't shock Marcyliena Morgan, executive director of Harvard's hip-hop archive. "But it's the girls!" she said. "Where have we gone wrong here?"

Underneath harsh, judgmental bravado, teenage girls themselves seem perplexed by the unfolding story, whipsawed by allegiance to their celebrities, fantasies about romantic relationships, and the terrifying mysteries of intimate violence - the savagery of the beating as well as the speed with which Rihanna apparently agreed to see him again.

Mimi Valdés Ryan, former editor in chief of Vibe magazine and the one who put Chris Brown on the cover in 2006, said the defense of him by so many young girls can be understood in part because they are adoring fans.

Even before this incident, Mr. Brown's core fans didn't like Rihanna, said Ms. Valdés Ryan, now editor in chief of Latina, a magazine for young women. "His posters are on the bedroom wall, the last face they see before they sleep," she said. "They're feeling, 'Why is he with her, not with me?' "

As word of the incident spread, girls could not believe he could wreak such violence, she said. After all, sweet Chris Breezy - his nickname - even appeared in a music video with Elmo of "Sesame Street." Acknowledging his attack would make them feel vulnerable: How could they have a crush on someone who could do that? It was less terrifying to blame Rihanna.

Many girls interpreted every new detail through a lens of forgiveness, Ms. Valdés Ryan said. When video emerged of Mr. Brown describing abuse suffered by his mother, many commented that Mr. Brown, of all people, should have restrained himself. But his fans, Ms. Valdés Ryan said, turned the information around: "They feel bad for him," she said. "It's not his fault, he doesn't know better. We need not judge him."

Many observers familiar with adolescent impulsivity say the rush-to-judgment also reflects a developmental stage. "What they feel in the morning can be different from what they feel in the evening," said Esta Soler of the Family Violence Prevention Fund in San Francisco. "It's very fluid."

The girls' willingness to minimize Mr. Brown's alleged behavior also reflects a learned social signal, said Professor Morgan, who teaches African-American studies at Harvard. They've been taught, she said, "What really matters is that we don't destroy boys." Teenage girls think that if they speak out against an abuser, the boy's future will be shattered, she said. "We have to appreciate that this is not simple for them."

Certainly from the outset, thousands of girls and boys howled online at Chris Brown, expressing sympathy for their pop princess, RiRi. But when the young singer apparently reunited with Mr. Brown, her supporters turned on her.

"SHAME ON YOU RIHANNA!!!" one girl wrote.

Brian O'Connor, of the Family Violence Prevention Fund, said because adolescents see absolutes, they struggle to understand the complexities of why a woman would return to her abuser. "There's love and loyalty there," he said. "It's not that she wants the relationship to end. She wants the violence to stop."

Even getting this generation of teenage girls to see violence as abuse has its own challenges. Tricia Rose, who teaches African-American culture at Brown, said that the singers and their young fans are a generation steeped in commercial hip-hop, which has influenced the smack-down tone of so many recent comments. The qualified support of Mr. Brown by a few male artists also gave cover to his fans' fidelity.

"This is the air that hip-hop breathes," said Ms. Rose, author of "The Hip Hop Wars." "The celebration of a stereotype of an aggressive, physical, often misogynistic masculinity that often justifies resolving conflict through violence. It can't be held responsible for this, but it can't be ignored."

Moreover, teenage girls can't be expected to support Rihanna just because of her gender, youth culture experts say. They see themselves as sharing equal responsibility with boys. Parity, not sisterhood, is the name of the game.

During a presentation about dating violence to ninth graders at Hostos-Lincoln Academy this week, one girl said, "If they hit you, smack them back. Both my parents say that to me."

When Danielle Shores, 17, a high school junior in Austin, Tex., heard about the fight, she thought: "Yeah, men hit women, and women hit men. It was blown out of proportion because they're celebrities."

She sounded miffed. "My best friend got hit by her boyfriend, and I don't see people making a big deal about it," Ms. Shores said.

There is a lot of violence among young partners. Although the study of abuse in adolescent relationships is scarcely a decade old, the incidence is startling. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 10 percent of teenagers report being hit or slapped by a boyfriend of girlfriend.

Some studies suggest that girls are more likely than boys to report being aggressive within a dating relationship.

But Dr. Elizabeth Miller, an adolescent pediatrician at the School of Medicine at the University of California, Davis, pointed out: "The numbers of girls who sustain serious injuries, and the sexual violence sustained against girls, is much higher than boys."

In the last few years, efforts to educate teenagers about abusive relationships have begun. Ms. Shores recently interviewed peers about abuse through Austin's SafePlace, one of 11 programs nationwide, to receive funding for Start Strong, a teenage intervention initiative.

At Hostos-Lincoln Academy last week, Yalitza Garcia, who works with Day One, an education and counseling group for New York adolescents, led a peppery talk with ninth graders.

"Everyone blames Rihanna for this, right?" she said. "She deserves it for being so jealous?" Some students nodded.

After Ms. Garcia's session, the students' English teacher gave them homework. They were studying "Othello," Shakespeare's tragedy about jealousy, in which Othello smothers his wife, Desdemona.

Their assignment?

"Rewrite the ending of 'Othello,' " they were told, "where there's an intervention before Othello comes in with the pillow."
