When news first broke about the domestic violence case between Rihanna and Chris Brown, everyone naturally took Rihanna’s side. After all, she was the one put in hospital. Chris Brown’s musical career has been in a downward spiral eversince then, but the media is reporting that Rihanna could fall too.

Rihanna’s reported reunion with Chris Brown has come under fire from all corners.

The Associated Press says “Chris Brown’s star falls; Rihanna’s could, too“.

Rihanna may endure a challenging road herself whenever she finally decides to relaunch her equally white-hot career. Already, she had seen her image transformed from pop’s femme fatale to domestic violence victim whose decision to go back to her alleged attacker has been endlessly called into question.

To compound matters, news of a newly recorded duet has surfaced and been confirmed!!!!!

MTV reports:

A spokesperson for producer Polow Da Don has confirmed that Chris Brown and Rihanna have recorded a duet. According to CNN, the unnamed song was tracked with Don just days after Brown, 19, was charged with two felonies over his alleged February 8 altercation with girlfriend Rihanna, 21.

Don’s publicist said the singers — who reportedly reunited at a home owned by Diddy in Miami two weeks ago — completed the song earlier this week, though no other details were available on the track. A spokesperson for Don did not return requests for comment on the song, and spokespeople for Brown and Rihanna have declined to comment about the sessions.

And in the words of People.com:

To the shock of friends and family, the pair reconciled days before Brown’s court appearance and have now spent time together recording a song that, a source tells PEOPLE, is “sweet and sentimental” and “expresses the challenges of a love relationship.”

Will Rihanna really testify against Brown? Are the two really married? Will Rihanna’s career be destroyed as well? We don’t know, but time will tell.
