Rihanna’s Dad Says She’s Fat, Should Forgive Chris Brown

Posted: March 8, 2012

rihanna's dad speaks out

When it was revealed earlier this year that Rihanna had recently collaborated with Chris Brown- the man that beat her so hard she was hospitalized- reactions ranged from “why would she do that?” to “do you know what that says to young girls who might be at risk for abuse one day?”

An answer to the first question may have presented itself, however, in the form of an interview Rihanna’s dad did with the magazine Heat this month, and the knowledge may ameliorate the latter for many who felt Rihanna was setting a bad example. The singer’s father, Ronald Fenty, spoke to Heat magazine, and some quotes have popped up on the internet ahead of its release- tidbits that make you seriously wonder what it was like for the singer growing up with this man.

Before we get to the first shocking quote, we should mention that Rihanna was beaten so badly by Brown that she had contusions on both sides of her face, a bloody nose, split lip and bite marks, and that Brown is said to have struck her with a closed fist. If you’re female and you have a dad, it’s probably difficult to imagine him not punching the face off anyone who treated you that way, but Fenty believes his daughter should forgive the man who rendered her nearly unrecognizable by beating her on the face:

“Chris is a nice guy and everybody’s entitled to make mistakes in their life. God knows how many I’ve made.”

Because I totally hate it when I accidentally punch someone’s face in and people get all uptight about it. God, Rihanna! Well, at least she has her dad’s support in other areas, like health and wellness. Fenty, ever the caring dad, tells the men’s mag that Rihanna was getting a bit porky last year, but he set her straight:

“I actually thought she was a little fat the last time I saw her. When I saw her at this year’s Grammys, I thought she was back to her normal size. I used to joke with her, ‘Robyn, you’re getting too fat.’ But I think she’s fine. I think she looked excellent, as everyone saw, at the Grammys. She’s dieting, she’s working out.”

Here, we would normally add a quip of some sort but this is just really, really sad. If Rihanna’s dad talks to the press this way about his daughter, can you imagine what he said to her throughout her childhood?

    If I had a daughter who was a superstar around the world and was beating senseless by another superstar. I would be in jail for the murder of the man who beat my daughter. But that's just me…

    OK..Now I know why rihanna is a little slow…her Dad is a few brick's short of a load….Skipping without a rope…….not the Brightest bulb in the pack…NEED I SAY MORE?

  5. No freaking wonder she's so "forgiving" to Chris Brown! Look at the jerk she grew up with! He probably told her it was HER fault. Jerk is too nice a word to describe this man!

  6. This makes me think that the father was also beating his wife at some point, probably Rihanna's mother.

  7. He is a jerk and ugly to boot both inside and outside!

    He's one of dem ignorant folks. Why would he look at his daughter in that way anyway. She does favor him, maybe he's picturing himself in her place. Could be. It's the only reason, since he's not her manager, that I could see him looking at her with a MAN's eyes and not a FATHER'S eyes.

    Ahhh that explains why she put up with Chris Browns abuse… and still seems to be friends with him….her father is an emotional and I would be willing to bet… a physical abuser of women.

  10. Whatever, you can't judge someone based on something taken out of an entire interview. In my family, we call each other out when one of us is putting on the lbs. or eating crap food and I have a wonderful, supportive family. As far as Chris Brown, he's probably just saying what she wants him to say.

    He is clearly the reason why she thinks being abused is normal and something she has to put up with, she probably witnessed him beating her mother. What a giant asshole freak. Rihanna, look into getting some therapy to learn to set boundaries and value yourself, because you deserve much better than this!

  12. Ok, I commented on this and why is it on my page. It wont let me remove it either???

  13. OMG Everyone is entitled to make mistakes? Are you effing kidding me? The guy beat your daughter's face to a pulp and you want her to forget about it?

  14. I think that man was just speaking his mind as a normal human being…Please people do make mistakes that they learn from in my opinion…Abusing Rihanna was wrong of Chris and he lost her for the moment or forever only time will tell. If she forgives Chris Brown…so be it…that's her business…because she is a superstar doesn't change the fact she is human…and if her heart is in it then it will also lead her…just as it does for you and I…They do make beautiful music together…humph lol.

    I couldn't agree with you more, Tina.

  16. This man is not a dad. A DAD would never be ok with anyone treating his daughter like that. I have two DADS… and four brothers. If any man ever decided to work me over like that….. there wouldn't be much of him left.

    Everyone is entitled to do what they want.. Rihanna is a grown woman, only her and chris knows what happened in that car that night. So as usual society is in the mix to give there 2cents on how someone should live there lives… Me personally would have forgiven him also due to the fact that if you hold on to that you wont be able to move forward…Basically having him live in your head rent free. So if they are able to do it why is it so hard for everyone else? its not your lives people… And don't know why people believes that she is all of a sudden a role model to every little girl.. That little girls mother should be or whom ever is in there lives…

  18. She grew up surrounded by the same behavior that Chris Brown did to her. Her dad is an older version of Chris Brown She needs to distance herself from both of them.

    Or he may be like my parents yesterday they told me I don't have a heart because I want my brother in jail, I was that's the only way he is going to get help n they said he don't need help his sick so I guess if you fuck up your lady there is nothing wrong u are just sick now I know why they never do shit when they knew I was getting hit

    omg most of the posts here are totally unbelievable it is Not ok to Ever hit a woman and Sonia you are an idiot!

  21. I still think she started the fight with Brown…(after all, this is a girl who used to brag about beating up her brothers, and chasing one around with a broken bottle)…and he finished it. He's only guilty of losing control. Both of them had reps for being arrested around the world and beating the snot out of each other. A man has the right to defend himself against a woman. After all, aren't we equal? Can't demand to be treated equally and then say, "You can't do that. I'm a woman!"

    Mar 8, 2012

    oh and Christina…you are also an idiot! have you ever been abused by a man? Chris Brown doesn't deserve the air he breathes!

  23. If he did that to her once, he will keep on doing it, cause that's what cowardly men do..hit on women cause their not bad enough to fight a man. and as for her dad, it isn't nothing but a dick..

    I think her dad is pathetic….she is a grown women, and has plenty of money……leave, and get away from both of them…She can see for herself , she needs help……get some, and quit with the excuses. She's acting out like some ho. She is a beautiful girl, and the way she acts, I wouldn't want any young girl watching her, or acting like her.

  25. I agree, cause look at him, UGLY!!!

  26. Whatever, cause it is a relationship that will end up like that singer who just die, cause she let a man drag her down and died in a bath tub..wake up girl, your life is your own and walk away while your still on top, cause if you don't, he will ruin you or worse kill you, which ever comes first..

  27. Maybe someone should beat her father in the face so he would know first hand what it would feel like.

  28. Okay, well this answers a lot of questions. The dad is a woman beater as well. I suggest that the dad and chris get together, since they are two of a kind. Two little pussies!

    No one is condoning what he did, but it is not up to society to let Rihanna know what she is doing is wrong or right…Chris has paid his dept to society and he is paying with this forever in his mind that he hurt her… But damn people everyones situation is different you cant compare every woman that has been abused in the same category every person always feels they had it worse… If her parents and herself is ok with it whom are we to judge.. You live and learn and make mistakes you can either learn from them or just repeat the cycle, but that is HER decission..

  30. I have two words for Rihanna…TINA TURNER !!!!

  31. ummmm, that is a bunch BS.

    Like i said society making there own opinion.. But guess what Shelly what you think or anyone else here think dont matter cuz hes still they one she is singing about that she wants to eat her BIRTHDAY CAKE.. LMFAO.. Its not that serious cuz its not your life so y are you so damn irritated about the subject… Pay attention to current events and worry about the kids and families that are starving and are raped and killed everyday, oh wait Chris and Rihanna is soooooooooooo much more important…

    Now look people… I do not believe a man "should never hit a woman". If a woman is about to punch me, I'm pretty confident I can take her down without hitting her. If she has a gun or a knife, you better believe I am knocking that psycho female out. Call me a jerk, pig, asshole or whatever you want, but that's truth. If did nothing and I beat her for nothing, then go ahead and kick the hell out of me. Deal, ladies? Sound fair?

    As much as I agree with your post, none of us know what really happened. I have always said that if a girl wants to fight me, it won't be a fight, it will be me holding her down. If she comes at me with a weapon, then I am taking her out any which way I can.

  36. Ryan Carranza
    Mar 8, 2012

    If that superstar beat her for no good reason. If she came at him with a knife… Good for him.

  37. Being exposed to this jerk explains a lot – we all wondered why she would go back with Chris Brown – and now we know.

  38. Jenny Noce – And that's the way it SHOULD be.

  39. I hope you don't seriously believe what you posted – gag

  40. Unless she was coming at him with a knife or gun there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY WHAT HE DID IS JUSTIFIED. AND HE'LL DO IT AGAIN!!!!!

  41. Really, you think they are loving when they verbally abuse each other with name about putting on weight? That's not loving or supportive and if not stopped it will get worse. Sometimes people put on weight for medical reasons and taunting them about it only makes it worse – how about seeing if there's a medical or emotional reason. Wow, I'm shocked.

    Penelope Butera people change… Thats what time does.. But if you are bitter and expect to live in the pass while they carry on with there future you will be the only one suffering, But he is young and he made a mistake.. Look at Jason Kidd…..

  47. OMG Roggie Tate you said exactly what I was thinking, I bet the main ones talking all this mess are the same ones who are in abusive relationships now or have been plus no one said it was okay for a man to hit a woman, AND that's what's wrong with the world today you should not teach your kids to look up to superstars they are only human and they…….. GUESS WHAT?………make mistakes TOOOO let GOD be your role model!!!!!!

  48. Have you lost your fucking mind….seriously, what a load of crap !!!!!!!

  49. Fat? WHERE is she fat? He should talk – those two bumps on his forehead looks like he's sprouting horns – maybe he is!

    Erica Means … lol not that i hope any of these women are in a relationship like that just trying to let them understand that people deserve a second chance… Im pretty sure some has had ex boy-friends that they ended up with time and time again same difference, they did something to end up as an ex bcuz they weren't perfect… Infact NO ONE IS so these women that hate brezzy now will continue but secretly want him to get there birthday cake also… lmfao…. hahahaha

  51. YES !!!!!!!

    C.m. Johnston :"like that singer that just died" prime example of people just going along with the media her name was Whitney Houston and i didnt hear any one running to her aid and being so vocal about her being with bobby…. Like i said people are intitled to there OWN opinion of people.. Its there lives and they can live it how ever they please… We can go as far back as Tina Turner her own husband raped her multiply times were was her aid… She has to be the one to fix anything in her life that is broken, but if its not broken like they say it dont need fixing. ..

  54. Ryan Carranza Ryan, you sound like a good guy. yes agree with what u said, if the girl just tries to hit u then hold her down til she calms down, but with a weapon it is different. you have to defend yourself. there are three sides to every story, hers, his, and what really happened. By the way her Dad is fugly.

    Penelope Butera so it would have been ok for Chris to beat on her if she had a knife/gun verses calling the police.. lmbo… See people are so backwords make a senerio to still beat on her but yet you are so mad that he hit her.. And for all we know whos to say she didnt have something you werent there… or unless you know something the rest of us dont…

  56. Her dad is an idiot!

  57. The press should not give idiots like that any time, space, or fame. Makes you wonder how beaten she was as a child, huh?

    I would be too Ryan…superstar or not!

  59. I would guess that you have a abuser in your life and he has convinced you a woman deserves to be beat!NOTHING could have happened in that car that would justify beating her like that.As for her father telling her she should take him back,he must be in her will and knows that if she goes back to him she will eventually get killed !

    That's funny… Rihana has NEVER been fat!

  61. Oh,I didn't know you were in the car and saw that she started it. Also I don't think ANY woman said that they are equal to a man PHYSICALLY ! I bet your name is Michael not Michelle !

    Kay for your information since u want to be in my shit now if u must know no i am not or have i ever been in an abusive relationship, but ignorance is a bitch and u proved that … 1. The father did not tell her to get back with him he said to forgive him there's a
    difference … but i usually dont like calling people idiots but ur post proved that it self….

  63. Who cares! 1. So parents have a joking relationship with their children that some may not understand. It's taken out of context. 2. If part of her healing process is to forgive someone who wronged her, it's no one's business. You can't say what you would or would not do until you are in a situation. As for the "little girls who may be in this situation one day" It's their parent's job to raise them, not Rihanna's. Stop using celebrity's as scapegoats for the reason kids get into crap. They are humans and prone to error, and capable of forgiveness just like everyone else. Let it go! She obviously has.

  64. maybe we should have chris brown beat rihannas father! what a loser and why would he want his daughter to be with a man who beat her like that!

    Let’s not forget how young both Chris and Rihanna are or that Chris grew up watching his mother beaten by his father. We all know how the cycle of abuse works. I too am a product of domestic violence. I’ve seen it against my mother and father. Abuse can be performed by both partners, however a women should never attempt to attack a man it’s like bringing a knife to a gun fight. You are never going to win. I say this because know one really knows the details of what happen that evening just the results. Chris admits he was wrong and has tried to make amends yet the public continuously bashes and harasses him and wonders why the 20 year goes off on a torrent. But that’s classic America, you do the crime and face the punish but you are never forgiven. There’s no such thing as rehabilitation in our justice system. The whole situation is sad all around.

  68. You can forgive someone without going back for more.

    Tannia King that is true but again people are failing to understand that this is her decission… not yours,mines, or anyone else that is upset that she is going back…

  70. So if they say he is sick, he needs a psychiatrist (o como se escriba). It's either jail or mental hospital then.

  71. Having hate fester in your heart will not help to better you. Rihanna's father called her fat, maybe he has a different sense of humor than you. You think he'd really mean that saying that to his daughter? A lot of you are VERY uptight. I see we have some very talented fortunetellers here as well.

  72. Maybe her father knows the meaning of the word "forgive".
