Pleading with Rihanna to "woman up" in a statement issued Thursday, the National Coalition For Men believes Rihanna should discuss violence on her part and not just Brown's.
"Pop singer Rihanna recently made a widely publicized statement to Glamour Magazine that she wants to "shed light on the reality of domestic violence." The National Coalition For Men (NCFM) calls on Rihanna to discuss her own reported violence against Brown as well if she wants to shed light on the problem honestly," NCFM wrote in a release Thursday.
Citing court records and other sources, NCFM says Rihanna struck Brown in the face "numerous times" and while Brown's actions are not justified, they believe she should admit to wrongdoing as well.
"If she does not "woman up" to it then her message will be the usual one-sided double standards that leave female perpetration covered up," writes NCFM.
"The saying, "There is no excuse for domestic violence," applies to both sexes. Female violence in relationships is not rare but is often hypocritically deemed acceptable or humorous, such as in the film, Sideways. It is part of the cycle of domestic violence, which cannot be stopped without addressing the problem honestly. Children are damaged just by witnessing domestic violence, regardless of its severity."
Both Rihanna and Chris Brown spoke of the violent end to a long friendship and relationship in television specials airing on ABC and MTV Friday, November 6.
