Or at least some faces in it are. I'm hugely against private stories like Rihanna's abuse becoming publicly scrutinized for hours a day on prime-time TV, but her reaction to the situation has charmed me tremendously to the point I think I may actually turn on my TV at some point this month. While she has had a hard time leaving Chris Brown, she feels she doesn't have any other choice. Why's this? It can take spousal abuse victims many attacks before they gain the courage to leave their partner, and by then it may be too late. She feels that by taking him back, with the national attention she receives, she would be propagating into the minds of young women an example that could potentially be fatal if followed. Kudos to you (or your PR advisor) for instead sharing these wise statements, they warmed my cynicism a bit.
