Donald Trump Calls Rihanna a Loser

Apparently it takes one to know one...

Not that she cares what he thinks; that means nothing to the unmuzzled Donald Trump, who is sharing his thoughts about Rihanna's decision to forgive Chris Brown for allegedly assaulting her last month.

Trump told TV's "Inside Edition" that "she better get the hell out... If she goes back, she's a loser and she doesn't deserve to have any future success."

Nothing like cutting to the chase...

As cut-throat, and perhaps, inappropriate as his comments may be, Trump is certainly not the only star sharing his two-cents worth on the whole Chris Brown and Rihanna situation. Though, some do it a bit more constructively than others.

Take Oprah Winfrey, for example.

The queen of TV talk says she's so upset about Brown's alleged attack on Rihanna that she is dedicating an entire show to dating violence this week.

According to "Oprah Show" producers, the hour-long episode will air live from Chicago on Thursday. Winfrey says Thursday's show is "dedicated to all the Rihannas of the world."

The talk show guru spoke about the upcoming episode last Friday, and even gave some on-air advice to the 21-year-old female singer, saying, "Heal yourself first and also, love doesn't hurt. I've been saying this to women for years: 'If a man hits you once, he will hit you again.' "

She also suggested that Brown and Rihanna seek counseling both as a couple and individually, otherwise they are doomed to re-live this incident sometime in the future.

On last week's show Winfrey also shared details of the Los Angeles police affidavit, which alleges that on February 8th, Brown punched, bit and choked Rihanna until she nearly lost consciousness. He has been charged with two felonies and will be arraigned in April. However, sources are reporting that Brown is looking to strike a plea deal with the D.A. that would require him to be put on probation, but not serve any jail time.

Violence can be a confusing thing and which I think you shouldn't comment overly harsh on unless you know the situation as a lot of men/women simply cannot leave so to call someone as Trump has done is extremely unhelpful, especially as a lot of people in such a situation don't try to receive help due to the negative thoughts that other people express.

Samual is exactly right. People cannot comprehend why Rihanna would go back to Chris. No one knows their situation; however, stats show that most women eventually reunite with their abusers, and in most cases the cycle of violence continues.
