Rihanna’s Friends: “She’s Been a Nervous Wreck”

Supposed friends of Rihanna say that the situation with Chris Brown in which he was sentenced 180 days of community labor for assaulting her, has been hard on the songbird. Chris has been given five years of probation and is not permitted to be within 50 yards of her. This has reportedly made Rihanna quite  90611P1_RIHANNA_B-GR_01unhappy.

A source tells Now magazine, “It’s so hard for her. She knows her family would freak out if she told them she wants to get on with Chris, so she has to hide her feelings.”

The source also says that Rihanna was absolutely terrified to testify against Brown, “She’s been a nervous wreck for weeks as she was so terrified that Chris would hate her after she testified. Whenever she starts crying, she has to pretend that she’s been having flashbacks to the attacks. But it isn’t that. It’s because she misses him and can’t believe it came to this after everything they had going. She’s mad with him, but at the same time she blames herself.”

According to the source, the nerves were uncontrollable before the trial, “She couldn’t eat in the days before the trial. Her stomach was in knots and she was shaking. Whenever I see her out, she always has a drink in her hand – mostly champagne, but sometimes beer or shots. She’s in pain and is trying to numb it out to the best of her ability.”

Another insider is happy about the situation. “He’s lucky he didn’t go to jail for a very long time after what he did. Now Rihanna can finally move on and find a guy who treats her right.”

I always find it interesting that their “friends” would reveal their secrets. Well, whether or not these quotes are accurate, I just hope that Rihanna is on the right path to healing herself and doing what’s right for her.

    I don’t think this article is 100% true….I think her PR team had a interview with this magazine and want to keep Rihanna’s name out there and for people not to forget her because her album is coming soon this is another way keep her out there…when Rihanna gets older I believe she is going to regret how this whole incident was handled….when you are young people sometimes take advantage of that and that’s what happened for both of them.

    Its funny how Rihanna’s bad behaviour is blamed on CB..This girl was partying every day,parading the streets of NY,man hopping & showing her tits to the world whe she was supposed to be on low key so she can recover after da incident

    What Chris did was wrong but clearly Riri is a loose girl who likes attention at whatever & dat cant be blamed on CB..If she didnt do anything wrong why was she nervous 2 testify[not nervous coz she is scared of Chris Brown but coz she's scared dat the truth about what happened would surface]

    Rihanna is a lonely girl in a foreign country with no one 2 guard her, has her best interest @ heart & tell her when she’s doing wrong & i blame her parents 4 letting a teenage go on her own…

    As much as CB needs counselling,Riri also needs help..she’s very insecure & dats leads her 2 her attention behaviour,she’s spiraling out of control & going the Britney route,she’s due for a public meltdown..mark my words!
