Because of this incident that occurred in Chris' rented Lamborghini (see below), they didn't attend the 2009 Grammy Awards. Rihanna supposedly pressed charges and Chris was arrested for alleged domestic violence felony battery. (Chris has since posted bail for $50,000.)
Chris' Doublemint Gum commercial (see below) which feature his single, "Forever" was suspended and he wouldn't make his scheduled appearance at the upcoming NBA All-Stars game. Rihanna according to TMZ sustained a split lip, swelling, and bruising postponed her upcoming Malaysian concert gig.
Since the story broke there has been many reports that seemed to favor Rihanna and automatically painted Chris as a woman beater. There's three sides to this story (re: puppy love/publicity stunt gone wrong) - Rihanna's, Chris', and the truth. Damm and Hmm! Let's hope both parties are fine. Time will only tell...
UPDATE: Got Milk suspended its print AD campaigns with Chris according to E Online while Rihanna maintains her CoverGirl contract.
Kanye West and T.I. both came out to talk about the allegations.
Kanye to Ryan Seacreast: "She has the potential to be the greatest artist of all time and, in that sense, I feel like that's my baby sis and I would do any and everything to help her in any situation. I don't want to speak more into the specifics with that situation, but all I'll say is it's just so devastating. I feel like, just as a person, I don’t care how famous she is or even if she just worked at McDonald's, that should never happen. It should never come to that place.
T.I. to Carson Daly: "I spoke to him today. He's cool, you know. He's a little concerned about the situation, but he's still the same Chris. I told him, 'This too shall pass.' We're celebrities, we're entertainers, but we're still human—all of us. Don't expect us not to make mistakes, because we will."
UPDATE: According to TMZ a text message Chris received from a woman ignited the violent argument.

It was good to see you back posting. I had wondered where you had been this past week. Hope you are doing well.
This story shocked me when I first heard it. I've trying not to offer my opinion until I know more. Most people jump to conclusions before they know all the facts. There are so many sides to a story. The truth is sometimes found in the middle somewhere.

If Chris Brown did this he is total human garbage (no matter how crazy jealous she may be), and deserves to be tossed into prison for at least a month, and then probation for 3 years. If need be, I hope J-Z takes care of this over-rated punk of a coward; acting like a weak, sniveling pussy.

here's an absurd thought -
your Supreme God says
beat up your girlfriend
be a weak and cowardly pussy
who deserves the same and worst
